Review on Gorilla Automotive 71621N Acorn Thread by Kenneth Murphy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works as advertised

I order these locks first based on Amazon's recommendations for my particular car model, then realized there are different lengths etc. I was a bit concerned but when I received them and compared to the lock on the car, they were almost the same size, after installation you can't even tell which lock it is on, try the to guess the pictures above. an indication that the lock was at the very bottom of the wheel. I have peace of mind now that my summer tires prevent theft, better safe than sorry. Can't comment on durability yet, but they look good. My only complaint was the wrench was too big for my hole in the wheel so I scratched the paint a bit when screwing them in, maybe a long wrench head would help, also my standard size was 19mm and the wrench needed one 21mm nut, a bit impractical because now I have to take a wrench with me and an extra head for 21mm and 19mm for other nuts. I didn't like the way the MC sticks out, I think some tools can be used to twist and turn them compared to the Gorilla brand, I used them as a deterrent, I'm sure things did will break down over time.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
