Costumer Reviews

I recently purchased this product via Summit Racing in order to enhance the security system already on the vehicle. I must admit the product doesn't lack effort on the part of its designers, but falls short in a couple or so areas.

1. As with most steering wheel locks, can be easily defeated by simply cutting the steering wheel and discarding the product. Although the alarm is loud, 130db isn't sufficient enough to cause a loud disturbence. Sounds like a smoke alarm siren to some degree outside of the vehicle. Oh yeah, that'll scare the thief off. Alerts for 40 seconds, and then resets itself, not enough time.

2. The unit is battery operated by nature, thus there are two screws located on the bottom of the battery compartment. Know where I'm going Sure you do, they are standard phillips heads, allowing for either the battery to be removed or wires cut to siren doing a theft of the vehicle. It only takes a few seconds to unscrew the screws and cut the wire to the siren and I'm an average do-gooder.

3. The remote to the alarm resembles a cheap childrens toy. It lasted a few months before communication was lost between the remote and recieving unit. Conviently after the warranty period had elapsed.

Overall, it is a decent product(being generous). Replacement screws, requiring a hex key, will only cost a couple of bucks at a local hardware store. 2. Theft-deterrent not theft-proof are the key words.

I recommend the club 491 (for cars and trucks) or the Club 493 for motorcycles and smaller tires. The earlier of which I've purchased and should receive this coming Friday.

As with any theft-deterrent, if a thief wants it, they'll get it and you if necessary. No product is fool-proof or perfect.

Hopefully my first review will help someone.

I'M MR. COOPER. THAT'S MY TWO CENTS. NOW SPEND IT WISELY.

I purchased the Gorilla Grip III for my Jeep Wrangler. With the price I paid I did not think that it would be the ultimate security device, but as from past experience, perception and sending criminals to an easier target works most of the time. Installation is simple, yes the original battery should be replaced ( very simple to do ), and I found that locking the steering column by turning the steering wheel, then putting the device in place works pretty good. The remote works good ( 50 feet ), the alarm could be louder, but is pretty sensitive. The bar would make driving pretty hard, but possible ( if someone is stealing your car they won't be to concerned about leaving it undamaged ). The flashing red light is pretty visable at night. Put all these features together and it will probably stop

all but the most determined or professional criminals ( they also need to know how to start the car ). It would not stop someone from stealing your stereo or rims, but there are other devices available for those situations. I believe it met my expectations, and Amazon's price was $ 20 cheaper with free shipping, compared to where I buy most of my Jeep accessories.
