After my aunt and uncle had BOTH of their cars stolen out of their driveways in a very nice Connecticut neighborhood, I decided it was definitely time to get The Club just for some added security. This item is very secure and I really feel comfortable after I lock it up on the steering wheel. I park in a city parking lot everyday - and it used to make me nervous that I'd get out of work and my car would be gone. Now, I can go into the office, or go out at night in the city and it's relatively secure. This was a great purchase and the shipping was extremely fast!

The old style club like this is much easier and a all around better club than the new ones that you can buy at any auto parts retailer... Some things should not be "improved".

This is stupid, it doesn't matter how damage proof this device is, it is only as strong as the steering wheel itself, which I'm sure anyone can hacksaw through in less than a minute. Just a tax on people who don't have half a brain.

This part came in in a timely manner and was packed well. Not sure the packing would matter since this thing looks pretty tough. My Jeep wasn't been stolen so I guess it is working fine. I do like that it collaspes down fairly small and fits nicely next the the seat. Looks like it could be used as a weapon if need be!

I've bought 2 of these clubs in the last several years when they were on sale. I still don't understand how it stops someone from driving, but for $30 it gives me a little peace of mind. I would not pay more. The first one failed after 3 years. One day the lock mechanism just broke. The second one has worked fine for about 4 years now, cross my fingers.

But the warranty and their "guarantee" are a joke.
Their product warranty is only 90 days, that doesn't speak highly of the quality.
Their "guarantee" is: if your car is stolen with the club attached within 12 months, they will pay your insurance deductible if you have a claim. But ONLY within 12 months of purchase. After 12 months, if your car is stolen they won't cover you.

So if you can get one on sale or with a rebate, it's worth it for peace of mind. But if you can buy a better one for the same price, with a better warranty and insurance guarantee, I would get a different brand.

Easy to mount and take off. Locking mechanism turns smoothly and will engage/rengage quickly. Keys cannot be duplicated by local locksmith so you have to be careful with the two that you get. Solid construction with a heavy feel. Unknown effectiveness on theft deterrance. I figure it forces the thief to cut the steering wheel adding 10 seconds to his job. My insurance claims adjuster and local police recommended that it be used in conjunction with other devices and not the sole means of theft deterrance.

The steering wheel lock from CLUB gives me confidence to park in residential areas where there's a possibility of theft. As its highly visible, it deters potential thief. It comes with 3 keys that are smooth to lock/unlock. Laser cut keys that can be duplicated. Steering lock hardly takes 10 seconds to install/uninstall. 100% satisfied customer.

I have owned both the older version and newer version.

Very high quality and reliable.

Would recommend

The Club #1100 LX Series, Red Anti-Theft Device

This is my third club in 20 years. Consistently good & reliable devices. The Club #1100 LX is lighter and a bit more compact than past models (I use it on a Jeep), but very sturdy. It locks without inserting the key (although sometimes this can be a pain if you snap it shut before you are happy with the setting). The keying system is a vast improvement over previous models, but don't lose the key! They give you several with the device -- put one in your safe deposit box.

This is probably the best you could wish for. I felt my SUV was absolutely safe. I've used "the Club" for many years, until I lost my last on in a car fire.

But if you get this one, as I did as a replacement, don't lose your keys. Winner does not offer replacements or even blanks so you could go somewhere else to have them made. If you lose your keys, you are SOL. I've lost two over a period of time. Since I have only one left, I am afraid to lock my wheel. So I won't lock it, until I get another one; one for which I can get replacement keys. Visit Winner's site, and go to the contact us section for verification.
