A friend of mine used one as its namesake when two dudes tried to rob him when he was getting out of his car. He hadn't bothered to lock it on the steering wheel, so it was just hanging out on the passenger side floor. One club to the teeth later and one robber was pretty badly injured and the other ditched his injured friend leaving him lying screaming on the ground. At least that's how the story goes, I wasn't there. I believe him though he's not one to lie or exaggerate.

David Howard like I said. If you lost your main keys you could still have a spare vehicle key in a magnetic key box outside of the vehicle. But if you never had the spare Club key or lost it before adding it to the magnetic box, you could non destructively remove the Club. They are bright yellow for a reason. 90% of what it does is keep someone from even attempting to steal the car. Most theives would pass up the clubbed car for the one next to it with nothing just for times sake.

I had a Clublock fitted on my Toyota Corolla back in 1990 in Sydney, Australia. There was a guarantee that if my vehicle was stolen after being fitted with a Club lock that they would pay me something like $500. The car was stolen about one week after the lock was put on. The cops found the car one week later out in western Sydney. They said it was used for a number of break and enters at peoples homes then abandoned. The car was in good shape when I picked it up. The Club lock was on the front passenger floor broken. Cops said they must have used a metal bar with a flat screwdriver bit welded in the center. Very easy to break the lock and remove. The cops also told me that theives will often just cut the sterring wheel off and get the Clublock off that way. I wrote a letter to Club lock and included the police report and a number of photos but never heard from them.

Wheel club locks are just there to stop crimes of convenience. A thief determined to get your particular car will easily defeat this no matter how well made the lock is. If you want a lock that actually will stop more determined thieves for a vintage vehicle without an immobilizer you get a brake pedal lock. Can't get most cars into gear without being able to push the brake and even if you could it's hard to drive one without a functioning brake. That said if a thief really wants your car they'll just aquire a tow truck and drag it off or onto a flat bed.

Yes, it's called the neutral safety switch. The reason being that a hydrocouple automatic will start if in any gear due to the internal slip. And then proceed to run over things, sadly people have been killed in such accidents even though it sounds silly. Usually by someone looking at something under the hood while an assistant starts the vehicle which then crushes the first person against a garage wall etc. Depending on the make the the neutral safety switch prevent the transmission physically or electrically from shifting out of park or neutral without the brake being held down. A traditional manual can't really hard the same system correct as you are always passing through neutral between gears. However there are neutral safety switches on manual transmission clutch pedals that will disable the starter if the clutch isn't held down. Driving a vehicle on just the parking brake would be quite the risky thing to do just to steal a car for convience, which is what most car theft is about. Someone just wanting a ride.

I have a street legal UTV and I use one of these and lock it. Its open air with no doors. I understand the vulnerabilities with this and only use it as an addition to all the other extra anti-theft stuff I use so a thief will just notice in a few seconds "this is gonna take a lot of time" and move on. I use The Club in addition to a cable lock through the front and rear wheels and usually park next to a pole and use an additional cable lock from a secure mounting point to the frame. I also install a brake disc alarm and I also have one of the small motorcycle motion sensor alarms with a remote. One time I went to the mall with a friend close to a high crime area. I grabbed lunch with him and sat outside. I watched as every several minutes cars would drive by slow and someone would walk by and look around case the area. One pulled made the alarm beep. Yea. You have to cut two cables just to move it then you cant steer it unless you cut The Club and meanwhile you got two different ear piercing alarms going off. Yea, go ahead and try it a$$hole. Hahaha!!!

It’s probably pretty difficult to do when the lock is on a steering wheel, on most modern cars the centre of the wheel is solid, which would Block access to the hole in the club.

The Internet suggests they were abandoned at some point due to inherent problems with the system, but it doesn't really specify when, and it might be a bit of a collector's item.

In the early 1970's, the Australian Govt made steering locks mandatory. This of course just made car thieves target cars sold before the new law came into effect. So some importer started selling steering wheel locks a bit like the one shown in this video but with single hooks and made from square tubing instead of round tubing. One day I got a call from my girlfriend. She had lost her key. Upon inspecting the lock, I couldn't see how it could be easily picked so I put the driver's seat well back, my feet on the steering wheel and got a firm grip on the lock. I pulled hard and broke it - it wasn't actually that difficult - didn't do the slightest damage to the steering wheel. After a few months, the consumer protection authority made the importer cease sales and refund all purchasers, as car thieves were all doing what I did. These sorts of add-on things are generally made and/or sold by shysters. There is another design with a longer shaft that links the steering wheel to the brake pedal. It too is removable in under a second by just using brute force. Lock picking lawyer says the single hook designs are defeated by thieves hacksawing a piece out of the steering wheel. I very much doubt that - the thief would need a) a hacksaw, and b) many many minutes of time (inside the plastic is usually a steel core) and he couldn't get up a good cutting stroke - not enough room. 95% of thefts are opportunist - the thief walks past and spots an unlocked car or a make/model that is easily defeated. Like 1970's Ford Cortinas - my mother had one and lost her ignition key. I examined the steering column lock and then defeated it by using a screwdriver to bend a mild steel tab out of the way, freeing the steering wheel, and hot wired the car so she could drive it. A couple of days later she found her key, so I bent the tab back again.

@@littlejackalo5326 : I was talking about the integral steering/ignition locks that were factory fitted 1970's onward. If the government makes all the people do something, that's a nanny state. This is not the case here. Here the government "forced" manufacturers to do something.- to the benefit of everybody except thieves. I put "forced" in quotes as within a few years all cars would have had steering wheel locks anyway as it became common practice world wide. However, Australian governments have had nanny state tendencies in other matters - eg bicycle riders are forced by law to wear helmets, which only protect riders in unusual crashes, and benefits bicycle shops selling helmets.

Hi Harry, clever little bypass - trust you to find it! You don't often see them nowadays, with the advent of transponder keys and steering locks as original equipment. The car thieves were removing them from the steering wheel by smacking the end of the shaft with a hammer, and collapsing the ratcheting pall. I guess the best way to install would be with the long shaft facing the wind shield. Regards, Brian.
@gary_rumain_you_peons
6 жыл бұрын
Only if you could angle it into the corner of the wind shield. Otherwise, you could just move it by rotating the steering wheel. I can't remember how much reach the original ones had but I seem to recall that most people had them up against the driver's door sill so you couldn't steer well if you started the car (unless you drove with the door open).
