The quality seems ok and it’s easy to lock and fit on my steering wheel. The real acid test for this product is whether a thief can remove it so I hope it’s never fully tested. I suspect a serious master thief could crack this fairy quickly but it’s a great deterrent none the less. There are more expensive models but I’ve seen YouTube videos suggesting they can also be cracked so it doesn’t seem worth spending more if it’s just a deterrent and part of a suite of defences to make your car harder to steal (e.g. video cameras, pop up bollards, flood lights etc). Remember you have to store this in your car when it’s not locked on the wheel so I didn’t want a massive heavy lock taking up valuable space because it cannot go under the seat.
Great lock. There have been so many stolen cars in my vicinity so the lock puts my mind at rest, it will make them think it’s too time consuming to bother with that ca
…NOT suitable for a Volvo XC70…need the ‘Pro’ model. SAXON is the producer and has a ‘check’ facility on line to ensure you get the correct model! Returned and replaced with the Pro version…more space to accommodate a larger diameter wheel.
Bought this as I wanted a visual deterrent to help prevent my Defender from getting pinched. Found this was quite well reviewed, and then found one in Amazon Warehouse for a great price.
It is important to get the correct version for your car, and its all about the shape of the steering wheel, and how much room there is to get the lock ‘threaded through’ and then secured.
The locking mechanism doesn’t seem that brilliant, its a little fiddly to use, but perhaps that means its fiddly for somebody wanting to pinch my vehicle.
There is a flashing red led, which is activated by a sliding switch. I think the instructions said it will last up to 6 months, depending on how much its used. I’ve not got through a set of batteries yet, but I really like it as a visual deterrent.
Its covered in gray plastic which is quite soft, meaning that if its banging around in the back of the car, it shouldn’t damage anything.

Overall, very pleased with it.
