Review on 🔒 Set of 5 McGard 24538 Chrome Cone Seat Wheel Locks - 1/2"-20 Thread Size by Dee Holt

These tabs are cast, not solid, and that's important. When first installed by hand, the locking eyelet on my spare tire broke in two with minimal torque (hand tight only, no power or air tools). Luckily I was able to line up the broken part with the rest of the tab and loosen it from the threads (this should indicate how little torque was on the tab when it broke). To their credit, McGard staff quickly replaced the broken tip. Fast forward a few months and the same thing happened again. The replacement tab broke in two with minimal manual effort. Again, I was able to line up the two halves and pull the bar out by hand. I originally decided to purchase this McGard set based on the good reviews and low price. However, my experience was less than satisfactory. Instead of returning the last broken tip, I buy a higher quality set. The only good thing about these cleats is that they break with so little torque - it would be very difficult to remove them if they didn't.
