My concern with these sort of locks is that they only really act as a deterrent. Yes, I use one when parked up in the day or on a safe site but at home I use a Bulldog wheel clamp for overnight security. I have heard, but don’t have any evidence, that serious thieves will take a hacksaw to the steering wheel to remove the lock and cope with what is left.

Its mainly for a deterrent for our forthcoming trip to France.Hoping it will put any chancers off.I have a tracker system but I dont want to let it get that far

IMO there is only one steering wheel lock device worth having and that is the "Disklok"

Steering wheel lock, wheel clamp, and drivers seat reversed and locked with custom fitted lock. It’s all about putting them off. I work on the principle that if a lock, alarm etc has been invented (and I include all alarms) then it can be ‘uninvented’. If you make your property harder to steal than others then thieves will take the path of least resistance.

You have a point! However my point was that I wouldn’t endorse any of them! I was trying to say that time is off the essence to a thief and a steering wheel lock on its own is not really sufficient, but that’s my opinion.

A friend of mine had one of the bar types when their van was nicked. They got the van back and I kid you not the toe rags that nicked it had cut a section out of the steering wheel to remove the lock, probably used a cordless disc cutter.

Not enough info from OP but how do you know he is not looking for a good quality steering wheel lock to auqment all the other devices he already has??

I have a Stoplock Pro that fits my 2016 'Fiat steering wheel'. Substantial visual deterrent but only 40,000v will ultimately stop them or one of Gus Lopez's nukes. I would imagine a RHD makes them less desirable on the continent too.

Stoplock Pro Elite for me. It fits nicely on a 2014 Ducato. It was a condition of my insurance that we had an approved steering wheel lock from the insurers list when we increased the value of the van.

I use Disklok, a good deterrent imo. Thatcham Cat 3 whatever that means

Definitely recommend a Disklok.
But in Silver.
