you can lock you brakes on wiht some of them and if not i never try to steal a car and only use the hand break to stop
and you are lucky if it even works or not

Steering wheel is not soft...there's a reason why they don't fold over when you hold onto them in a crash lol

The main purpose of a steering wheel lock is to be a visual deterrant, rather than a physical force.
My steering lock wouldnt come unlocked late one night in the police station parking lot. I had to get someone to bring down an axe and hack-saw and ended up sawing through the steering wheel. It really doesn't take long What a sketchy looking scene though at 2am... hah

anyways it's already been posted up, a steering wheel lock is just a deterrent.
The only real way to keep your car safe is to stay in it

It takes a bit of getting used to, but I can take mine off no problem, with one hand
RE-ENACTMENT: SIMULATED WHEEL LOCK using advanced computer graphics | but mine is not like that!
from above it hooks around the spokes, so it's straight across the airbag/hub for me.
some people are saying you can cut through the steering wheel rim... the locksmith that came said the 4-hook setup i had made that impossible, because the thickest part of the rim is where it meets the spokes.
he also said those brake pedal locks are a pain in the ass... not that they are ineffective, but because he's had to take off so many defective ones |

the idea behind any anti theft device is this:
thief sees 2 cars he might steal. one has club/ alarm/ big black dude sitting in the back, the other car has none.
they will always go for the easier target, unless of course big black dudes are his thing...

| I've seen at least a couple crash photos where the top of the wheel is bent forward due to a person's weight during a crash.
