Let me tell you, this little green guardian has become my car’s best friend. The first time I used it, I was shocked by how effortless it was—just loop the steel cable around the steering wheel, click it into the seatbelt latch like buckling up, and boom! My car instantly looks like a fortress. No fumbling with clunky metal bars like in the movies.

The bright green color (they have yellow too!) is genius. It’s basically a neon ‘BACK OFF’ sign for thieves when they peer through my windshield. I especially appreciate this when parking at sketchy downtown spots or overnight at trailheads—places where my old-school steering wheel lock alone felt inadequate.

What surprised me most? The deceptively simple design packs serious strength. That 5mm braided steel cable feels like it could tow a truck, and the PVC coating keeps my leather wheel scratch-free. Pro tip: The ‘push then turn’ key action had me confused for exactly one attempt—now I can unlock it faster than my actual seatbelt!

Is it foolproof? Probably not against determined pros with power tools. But paired with my car alarm? It’s the perfect visible deterrent that makes thieves move on to easier targets. Plus, storing it under the seat takes zero space—unlike those giant metal clubs that used to roll around my trunk.

After three months of daily use (and one panicked moment realizing I left a key at home—thank goodness for the two spares!), this $25 gadget has earned its place in my must-have car kit. It’s not just a lock; it’s like having a bouncer for my Honda.
