Pros & Cons

Cons

This lock isn't strong enough to deter theft. They are poorly built and can be wrestled off without too much effort when locked. Remove the aluminum adapter sleeve from the 1.

Quality


This lock is well made and should be great for many years.


This is the best quality product that i've bought in a long time and i won't have to worry about getting my bike rack stolen.


Works as intended, however the cap could fit a bit tighter so as not to randomly release itself from covering the lock.


It is a simple lock and does a nice job.

Price


Ridiculously priced for just a tip of a pin.


Overpriced for what it is, no alternatives.


Not the cheapest thing, but way cheaper than having your bike rack with bikes taken off the back of your truck during the night.


Pricey item, but provides peace of mind on & off the water.

Shipping


Hence at destination, lock was missing, gone, not where i expected it to be.

Competitiveness


It's annoying that both yakima and thule use a pin size that of course just can't be standard.


However, finding other locking pins that are threaded similarly is difficult.

    Uh these people must not understand how to use it

    You open the lock and put it on the end of your hitch pin then pull the key out and put the cap over the keyhole

    Overpriced for what it is no alternatives

    With that said it is at best a deterrent against the casual thief
