A long metal bar with a lock that fits on the steering wheel and is designed to prevent the steering wheel from being turned. The locks are visible from outside the car and prevent the wheel from being turned more than a few degrees. A variation on the steering wheel lock is the J-bar or grip lock, an adjustable steel bar rod that hooks under the brake and locks to the steering wheel.
- Costs: $25 to $100
- Benefits: Inexpensive way to keep would-be thieves away. Especially good device to use when layering protection.
- Drawbacks: Only effective against amateurs and kids looking to joyride. A professional can cut through your steering wheel in a couple of seconds, making a steering-wheel locks and most J-bars useless.
