Review on πŸ”’ McGard 74041 Trailer Wheel Locks - Chrome Finish, Cone Seat, 1/2"-20 Thread Size, Set of 4 by Edwin Kreps

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great parts, McGard charges you a hell of a fee when you buy spare/replacement parts.

Great lock but God help you if you need a replacement. McGard makes a wide range of wheel locks but there is one thing I would not mention if you are planning to buy a lock key or additional wheel locks. The included insert for all McGard lock kits has a ridiculous price list for additional parts. I wanted another key in case, god forbid, I lost it and had to remove the tire; $10.95 and another lock for my spare tire $14.95, plus another $4.95 shipping and handling. Of course, if I had been careful not to lose the first wheel lock key and used other options for mounting the spare tire, I could have lost more than $30, but I would hate to realize that I had a week have to wait get another wheel. Block the key or destroy my lock and threaded wheel stud so I can hit the road if mine breaks or breaks. I mention dollars as if you are buying in Canada add another $5. Hence the 4 stars although the locks work and appear to be great craftsmen.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Reliable
