im pretty sure this has been posted before but i couldnt seem to find the thread.... so is it 100% unbreakable??? im talking abt the ones selling on television... sounds trustworthy .... just asking anyone who has any experience with this ....
ya support u brofacelift said:NO locks on the market is unbreakable. Its just a matter of time to to defeat it. I think the longest time to break a lock is 15 minute (the one that covers the whole steering). That should be sufficient to make the thief go for other cars.

Autolock isn't immune as well, but it's better than the stupid steering lock. You really want good security? Install a good alarm, immobilizer, tracking system, hard bolt extra pieces of security plates on your doors, and ensure the alarm covers all doors, bonnets and boot. Put sensitivity alarms on all windows (ALL!) and then dead bolt items that you feel you will never be changing (like seats). Then change all the wiring under the dashboard to be the same colour. And always park with 1st gear in and your car nose facing the wall so towing is harder.
Sure the car still can be stolen, but at least it makes life harder for them bastards.

i guess most of you guys havent seen a real live demo on how a steering rim (the part where you hold) can be saw off easily.
no matter how expensive your steering lock is, as long as the car thief use a hacksaw and saw through the rim of the steering, they can easily slide off the steering lock. you see, the steering rim is designed to be collapsed in the event of an accident when the drive slam against it....it's made of soft steel. Thus, it can be cut easily. i have seen the demo before and it's scary.
before i seen this demo, all the i thought that stoplock is one of the "unbreakable" steering lock in the market.
so what do i use now? a pedal lock (clam)...solex. Pedals are made of hard steel that is almost imposible to cut....so,lock the pedal is the better choice. Also, it aint easy for the thief to crawl under the dashboard in order to remove the pedal lock....thieves need to look around while they are stealing a car, remember????
