Anyone have experience with these lug locks?

They claim the free-spinning security sleeves provide unbeatable wheel security.

Check Amazon reviews if you get no response.

I have them on my daily driver (a Honda Pilot) and they seem to work pretty well. My only complaint was that the "key" is a size smaller than the rest of my lug nuts, but if you're in a pinch it'll still work with the wrench that came with the car (yes, I checked). I'd be curious to see if anyone has experience with them on our trucks.

Wheel locks are so easy to bypass they don’t do much good

Yup. You can buy master lug key sets from parts stores and online. Wheels/tires aren't stolen like they used to, now they take the whole vehicle. We hate them at the shop. First thing we have to do is find out where the key is, usually in the glove box. If not there than either the center console or in the back with the spare. Which also means a thief knows where to look. If you leave it at home, what happens when you get a flat? Not using your spare. And than there is the issue of the lug stripping out where the key goes or the fantastic issue of the key breaking. My suggestion? Don't use them.
