De excelente calidad, lo devolví porque no le quedó a un Gol 2018

The device is easy to use and stores more easily than the longer steering wheel locks. Very happy so far.

Verified purchase. Analysis of the reviews may stimulate hesitation in purchasing. However, if one takes a moment to review the seller own video, you will see that the horizontal baffle paddle positioning is designed to be loose. It is not designed to lock your steering wheel, but rather hender from being driven in any reasonable distance. It's practical and convenient. If a thief desires your vehicle nothing will stop the thief. Understanding that ALL steering wheel locks are a deterrent not a stopping mechanism, Looseness does not equate to ineffectiveness. Check your personal expecting prior to purchase by watching seller video. Clearly in video it's loose, however, the vehicle will not be able to be reasonable driven. Unless the thief has circular saw to cut your steering will in multiple places, it is not going anywhere reasonably without your key to remove the lock. In addition, the lock is quite aesthetically satisfactory to the eye or appearance.

Ok, I have to start by saying that I REALLY wanted to like this lock. For the most part, I do. And here's the but...

In order for this to work, your steering wheel has to be fairly close to the dash when fully extended and the dash needs to be fairly flat. In a Mazda CX-5, the steering wheel pulls out a fair distance from the dash. T Ok, for starters, one reviewer said to insall this with the steering wheel dropped to its lowest position. If you do that, then all the theif has to do is raise the steering wheel and the bar lifts up off of the dash giving a fair amount of play. he arch of the instrument cluster makes it worse. As you can see in the picture, the wheel rotates and actually if I really push it, can clear the lcd. To install it in the CX-5, I have to pull the steering wheel out and all the way up, close the latch, and then push the steering wheel back in so that the tension on the horn is a hair trigger away from sounding. Even then, pulling the steering wheel back out leaves plenty of play room.

I will say that in every attempt I made to force it past the edges of the dash, it did make the horn sound at least once. Turning the wheel to the left was possible but I had to really pull on it to clear the corner and the horn sounded. Points for that.

I think if my dash were flat, adjusting the screw to lock the angle of the horn cover would allow it to be more securely installed.

As for that screw: It's a nice idea but if you have an hex wrench, you can loosen the lock. That screw should really be inaccessable when locked.

It's nice looking. I'll give it that but I'm torn. I'm not sure a steering wheel lock should be nice looking. I think it should be really noticeable. The reality is that, even the mighty Disklock is easily removed by a pro with the right tools and a few seconds of time. So the use of these locks is to deter the casual thief. So high visibility is key. You want the lock to be seen. Anyone who isn't deterred by the lock is not going to really care if it's there. This lock is kind of classy looking. It's also easy to miss. Let's face it. If a lock looks crappy, you're not going to be in your car to look at it. The advantage here is the lock looks classy sitting on the floor of your car when it's not in use.

Its construction is mostly ok. I can nitpick about the stitch lines being off center or crooked but the only issue is the ratchet slots of the lock aren't uniform and the last one is slightly thicker than the rest. I have to lock it in that spot and it's very hard to get it to go that last click. Once click less and it's really loose. The clicks need to be closer together but my guess is that would compromise its strength.

So all i all, if it worked perfectly with my car, then I'd give it a 4-4.5. For me, it doesn't work well although I will continue to use it. As I said, I really want to like it. It deserves better than a 3 so I'll go with 4.

I've already bought 4, for different cars and it fits very well (a Takoma, Nissan Rogue, Rav4, and Infiniti sedan. It is heavy but easy to handle and install. I recommend it 1,000 times!
