Let me start by saying, this steering wheel lock does give a sense of security. The keyless combination is a game-changer—no more fumbling for keys in the dark. I set my own code, and it felt reassuring knowing only I could unlock it.

However, installation is where things get tricky. The lower hook swivels way too easily, making it a pain to latch onto the brake pedal. I had to wrestle with it every time, which defeats the purpose of a "quick" security measure.

The build quality is hit or miss. Some users report rust stains after minimal use (yikes!), and mine occasionally required a firm smack to retract fully—not exactly smooth operation. The code wheels also tend to stick unless you jiggle the upper bar, which is frustrating during nighttime unlocks.

On the bright side, when it works, it works well. The heavy-duty feel deters casual thieves, and the emergency hammer feature adds peace of mind (though I hope I never need it). Just don’t expect buttery-smooth functionality—this lock demands some elbow grease.

Final verdict? It’s decent for deterrence but needs design tweaks. If you’re patient with its quirks, it’ll serve its purpose. But if Amazon offers an upgraded version later, I might switch.
