1.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, poor quality!, December 28, 2008

I purchased two sets of these. One set had screws that were too small for the included tool! Since no other tool I had would work with them, I tried the tool from the other set. It also would not fit. Out of both sets of 4 screws, a total of three screws would fit the included wrenches. Not the kind of quality I could recommend...

4.0 out of 5 stars These are meant to deter theft and not prevent it, October 25, 2009

These fasteners are small for standard licence plate frams but work fine if you have a washer there.
Again...these are meant to deter theft and are not full proof security against licence pte theft. The jack used to unscrew these can be purchased at a locl store I believe but are rare to find. They can in no way unscrewed using a standard philips screw-driver.

Would recommend this product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just be warned - not a perfect solution, March 18, 2009

Okay this is a bunch of screws and a wrench, so no long review is needed here.

I was telling a friend about the fancy license plate I bought - "VIPRMAN" for the back of my 2000 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe - and this screw kit that I purchased.

She told me that as an avid biker, a lot of bike shops sell these exact screws and the required wrenches to cut down on theft of bikes and/or bike parts.

Whereas it's still a theft "deterrent," don't expect these to be a perfect solution. To assist, I installed all four screws, instead of the usual two. The wrenches are a pain in the butt (can usually only get 1/2 turn before it hits the bumper) so I figured it'd take someone too long to steal it, and they wouldn't bother.

Just a warning - they work great, but they're not exclusive.
