    Or clamp your own car, so that the clampers think you're clamped already :)

    Dont rely to much on these folks. Someone I know used one on a trailer tent and it was forced and left on the pavement. Trailer tent gone.

    Stay away from these things they are a complete piece of sh*t.

    If you put the €22.99 on the ground & came back an hour later there's a better chance it'd still be there than a trailer/caravan with one of these fitted :)

    If they're clever enough to get past an immobiliser and factory steering lock, a €7.49 lock isn't gonna do much.
    Granted if 2 identical cars are parked the thief may be less inclined to go at the one with the lock. On the other hand, they might use it as a lever to break the factory lock....

    They are great they provide a leaver to break the factory steering lock. Then they can be removed by taking a hack saw to the steering wheel and cutting
    the wheel itself.

    Unfortunately they are a poor deterrent.

    A high quality alarm will stop kids. A steering lock wont.


    Professionals use trailers and trucks.
