4.0 out of 5 stars These are meant to deter theft and not prevent it
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...

1.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, poor quality!
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 Just be warned - not a perfect solution, March 18, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cruiser Accessories 81230 Locking Fasteners, Domestic-Stainless (Automotive)
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.

This product is great for protecting my plate and my Jaguar chrome lisc. plate frames. You have to keep the tool handy in the car though or you are screwed and won't be able to get the plates off if you have any body work done.

I needed the wrench to remove some old bolts I put on my GMC truck many years ago. It worked perfectly.

Since I was buying one set of the bolts ("Domestic"), I decided to buy the corresponding "Import" set as well to put on my wife's Toyota. It seems to me that the manufacturer might have mislabeled the packages. The "import" bolts fit my GMC, and the "domestic" bolts fit my wife's Toyota.

I had looked at the bolts on both vehicles prior to ordering, so I was pretty sure I was getting what I needed anyway. I ordered both sets together just in case.

This review is from: Cruiser Accessories 81230 Locking Fasteners, Domestic-Stainless (Automotive)
Unable to use all of the fasteners because supplied wrench wouldnt fit. Pin hole in wrench machined off center and some of the screws had poor internal hex dimensions (too small). Had to put some off the screws in a vice and hammer wrench into place.
I would not buy these again or recommend.

1.0 out of 5 stars Professional Needed, November 27, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cruiser Accessories 81230 Locking Fasteners, Domestic-Stainless (Automotive)
I purchased the product to go along with a License Bracket I purchased. The screws were too large for the hole in my car and the plastic locks could not be mounted because there is no way to access the rear of the position the licence was to be mounted. Purchased this product before with an older model car. If purchasing this product make sure it will work on the newer model cars that are out. Good Concept locking screws, but the product was useless on my car model and a waste of my money!

This product does not work. The screws are too short! You cant use the anchors so it defeats the whole purpose. Complete waste of time and money.

5.0 out of 5 stars They work. What more can you ask for?, March 30, 2011

This review is from: Cruiser Accessories 81230 Locking Fasteners, Domestic-Stainless (Automotive)
These screws replaced my standard ones and were easy to install. There were no instructions, so I'm not sure what the plastic things are for, but I'm happy with the design of the screw itself. You actually CAN'T use a store-bought wrench similar to this one since the screws have a small pin directly in the center of the hole that prevents a standard wrench from being inserted.

Certainly not fool-proof, but worth the extra peace-of-mind
