review of the "club" October 19, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
good product; reccomended by my local police station to prevent car thefts. I've been happy with the ease of installing/removing.
 How secure is the lock? June 19, 2007

I am using my second Club, now. I tossed my first one because the rubbery red plastic had aged and was nearly all peeled away. When decluttering my house for sale, I came across the keys to the old Club and thought I would try them on the new one. They fit like my glove goes on over my hand! I wonder how many different sets of keys there are, if any..?

Easy to use, visible deterrent to some thieves May 24, 2007

My 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander ES (base trim) already came with an active car alarm (together with engine immobilizer), so it wasn't necessary for me to get the Club. But I sometimes park it in a not-so-good neighborhood and putting the Club on makes a kiddie thief think twice about breaking into my car. The Club is solidly constructed and it's very easy to use - no key needed to extend and lock it on the steering wheel. Many people tell me a thief can break it in 30 seconds, but a couple mechanics, and the cop living across the street from me, says it's quite an effective deterrent.
I don't give it five stars because when it's installed on an airbag-equipped steering wheel, it's placed horizontally, and because the handle is long and heavy, it puts a lot of weight on the right side of the wheel. I just don't know if this is going to cause long-term misalignment of the steering wheel. Not a big deal, and I'll just turn my steering wheel so the Club sits vertically, but it's a concern. Second, the instruction sheet is terribly written, likely by a non-English speaker. Third, the guarantee is only for $500 and only good for the first 12 months, plus you must return the registration cutout within 5 days of purchase (I got it from Amazon via overnight shipping).
All in all, I think the Club is a good visible anti-theft device *in addition* to an active alarm system or another, more advanced anti-theft system. Get this original club as copycat locking clubs (one of which I used before on a Geo) definitely don't work.
Should do the trick February 16, 2007

Before buying the Club my old Honda Prelude was stolen and thankfully only gone for a week and a half before being recovered with no visible damage. If you are looking for a theft deterrent that is reasonably priced, the Club is probably what you are looking for.
