We bought this for a couple of trailer that we have. It seems to work great easy to put on and take off. Good product
The quality of the claw material is satisfactory, but the LNP should have been predrilled/tapped for easier installation. It is presumed that the end user has and can drill/tap the claw arm. Additionally, the LNP should be longer, as the claw on back side does not fit the upto brake backing plate which makes the plate difficult to press against the lug cap,if plate was longer, the claw would sit better against the rim/tire area and rest on ground as intended.
This is a great product. The baked-on finish is very durable and being red deters a would-be thief from a distance. I like the plastic cap that seals the lock and would prevent ice-up. Lock quality and keys are excellent. The lock opens to a size sufficiently large to fit my T@G XL trailer’s 235/75R15 off-road tires. Initial fitting was by trial and error to be sufficiently tight so unit could not be slipped off the tire AND to have the metal plate cover the majority of the tire lug nuts.
The claw is well made. Like other reviewers have mentioned, the plate covering the lug nuts is too small to be effective and will have to be modified. Additionally, the shape of "fingers" needs to be improved as it is currently designed they do not fit between the rim and brake drum of a standard 15" wheel/10" drum combination. As another line of defense against thieves it serves it's intended purpose. If nothing else, it looks the part.
We bought this to use on our rv. It is very easy to use and helps to protect our rv from disappearing in the middle of the night.
the claw is one of the best investments i have made to protect my new truck.my last one was stolen out of my driveway 15 months ago. will never get over it. yes, i think the claw is as much a visual deterrant as a mechanical but thugs will still have to take time to disable it. the plate to cover the wheel studs is a waste of time (sorry) i use 2 sets of wheel locks on each wheel. people come up to me constantly and ask about it. one secret i want to pass on is when you put the claw on, place the key lock down instead of up. that way they can't pick it (it can be done) a little more tricky to unlock but worth it. anyway, love the claw and may get another one..thanks
I really like this. It makes me feel more secure about my boat that I have a lot of money into.
With over 700 car thefts in Toronto for the month of January 2023 we decided to add protection for our BMW X5. The Claw will do double duty to also protect our Jayco Travel trailer when camping.
We like the beefy build of the Claw as well as the visual deterrent to make a thief to consider an alternative vehicle.
We were disappointed with the lug protector. The protector is not a add on piece you just install. You need to drill a hole into the claw and tap the hole so you can screw the lug protector in place.
Overall, we are confident that the claw and lug nut protector will provide an additional lay of protection from opportunistic theft.
We have used etrailer for multiple products. As a Canadian we find the service, shipping and product selection to be excellent and strongly endorse etrailer as a parts supplier.
No one has stolen our trailer which is a plus. However, it doesn't fit as tight as I would like. It seems to be more of a visible deterrent than one that couldn't be removed with a crowbar. I think this would be a 5 star product if it was more adjustable. It is well made.
Buying a tire claw lock from etrailer.com was a painless and easy transaction. My lock arrived on time and was very well packaged.
Easy to use, and so far so good, not st olen!
I bought the Club wheel lock for my trailer. The fork to the rear of the tire does not properly clear the brake disk assembly, therefore the Club unit mounts crooked. This makes it impossible to use the lug nut plate. I am resigned to using just the Club attachment.
Had my trailer locked up on the job site with two locks on the trailer. They were able to remove the locks in the trailer was stolen.
Product works good on trailer but not so well on motorcycle with large rear tire and a low tire wall. My bike tire is well (9inches) under the products max usage size but because of the tire wall low height this unit can be slid off tire and rim by simply pushing to the side and slipping it around rim and tire...
Also I bought two and would have liked them both keyed a like but the charge for such a simple task was outrages.
To sum it up I'm Ok with product...
etrailer has been a much needed assistance to me. I don't know trailers well but they offer help every single time I need to call. Try them.
The quality products I need with fast delivery, excellent customer service and follow up
Seems to be as advertised should deter most thieves/ wish the cover plate was all ready mounted..but nice unit
I have two complaints about this product. 1) The plate which covers up the lug nuts does not come ready to assemble. A 6 mm hole must be drilled into the the claw. Lame. If you are that handy with tools, save yourself some money by cutting and drilling your own flat plate--that is all it is. 2) This lock comes with three keys and it is not possible to get extras. I am notorious for losing keys so I called Club to get extras--they said they didn't have any--I'd have to get them from a lock smith. And the two locksmiths I talked to said I'd have to get them from the company.
This tire lock is OUTSTANDING. I've had it for more than a year and it looks brand new! It easily fits around the tires on my side-by-side, is rugged and opens/closes smoothly to secure my vehicle.
etrailer is the ONLY place I shop for ALL my trailer needs. George and his etrailer family are the best, fantastic customer service and great knowledge, thanks once again. AAA
I love this product, it is perfect for our needs and it the third one we have purchased. The claw is very high quality and provides a quick and convenient way to secure vehicles/trailers. Etrailer.com filled and had our order delivered quickly and they have consistently exceeded our expectations. Great product - Great company!
Exactly as advertised. Fits well. I didn't use the lug nut protector though. It seemed to fit better without it. The lug nut protector may be more useful on a bigger tire. Mine was 225/75 R15.
Installing the lug nut plate was not nice, they sent the screw that attaches the plate to the club arm, and instructions simply say to drill a 6 mm hole in the arm, but doesn't say anything about tapping the hole for the screw to screw in. If i wasn't mechanically adept and already knew how to do these sort of things, I would be SOL.
Otherwise, I like the device.
