Locking Lug Nuts: Advanced Wheel Lock, Gorilla Free Spinning Locking Lug Nut, McGard Wheel Lock, Dorman Wheel Lock With Spinning Collar, White Knight Locking Lug Nut, Tavaski Wheel Lock, Gorilla’ Small Diameter Acorn Wheel Lock. Wheel locks are compared for resistance to being removed using locking pliers, a wheel lock extractor set, an oversized socket, a universal socket, and even a portable welder. There’s one very clear winner in this comparison! I purchased all of the wheel locks and supplies used to test the wheel locks to ensure an unbiased review. So, thank you for supporting the channel.

  • Thanks for the kind words. I watch all of your videos… and, in fact, earlier today I was using two products that I bought based solely on your testing (Venom Steel gloves, and DeWalt step drill). Your videos are really valuable to DIY folks like me. 👍
  • @brentpodshow
    After watching your review I ordered the Advanced wheel locks. I just got off the phone with them checking on my order and they are now back ordered two weeks thanks to you. She said they were averaging a few orders a week and thought they may have to go under since they are a Mom and Pop company. Thanks to you they received hundreds of orders and she said you pretty much saved the company. She could not say enough good things about Project Farm. Bravo Project Farm you guys ROCK.
  • Bought the advanced wheel locks almost two years ago for my ram 1500’s chrome wheels while i lived on the outskirts of Mexico City for a couple of months and i never had a problem with my wheels being stolen or messed with. I did end up missing two of my regular lug nuts but the wheel locks never moved. I highly recommend them.
  • @texicon
    Thank you- I’m installing the Advanced wheel locks AND the gorillas on my vehicle. That’ll be a sufficient pain in the arse to dissuade most thieves! Glad to hear I’m supporting a small business!!!
  • I love how he doesn’t waste anytime, he starts right off with the main point of the video and doesn’t waste any time. 10 minutes of nothing but good information, I absolutely love it
  • "Cousin Eddie is very concerned his Buick wheels are in high demand" hahaha Solid humor by Project Farm.
  • @DonzLockz
    This is the only youtuber that I actually have to slow down the video speed to absorb all the info haha. No wasting time begging for likes and subscribers and no shilling. Excellent video as usual and making my dollars work for me better.👍🤠
  • @1Chitus
    Former LE officer here, most wheel theft rings carry around a bag of common wheel locks. The ones that are keyed differently tend to be the ones we saw much less of. Can't say I ever saw a case of someone carrying a welder around though but I guess anything is possible!
  • @veridico84
    I have never thought wheel locks are worth their cost. This will be interesting. Hopefully cousin Eddy finds his solution.
  • @gucciserg8093
    As an owner of Advanced Wheel Locks, I highly recommend this product‼️ 10/10
  • Already new the outcome because Advance wheel locks are the only brand I use based on my research and experience, but still had to watch since it was you that made the vid.
  • @nbrikha
    Considering the cost of my OEM wheels, I bought the Advance Wheel Locks. I was looking for the perfect lock nut and you gave that to me and for that I thank you!
  • @yoyoma2026
    Love all the methods tested here! The winning design was quite simple, yet the cone shape and hard metal proved to be extremely effective. I love simple designs that just work.
  • My buddy parked his corvette at a gas station in flint. Walked inside and as he was walking out not 2 minutes later there was a truck with 2 guys in the back flying out of the driveway. His car was on blocks. Even an extra minute or 2 can make all the difference.
  • @Felipera_
    This is BY FAR the most useful channel on all of YouTube. Keep going friend! We love you.
  • @fretho8410
    Really appreciate all the work put into these videos. They are a genuine benchmark for testing, taking into account all the relevant aspects.
  • @johnb8184
    One thing to add if you are using work locks: They generally come in kits of four, and it is intended you use one for each wheel. Buy more than one kit, and use more than one on each wheel. If you use only one, kids will remove all the other lugs, and use leverage with the bar to break the stud off that has the wheel lock. I have seen it many times. I am a police officer for reference.
  • No doubt that this man has saved thousands of people time and money by completing his unbiased reviews…. Like others, I confirm first if he has a video on a product I’m interested in purchasing….even going back to 4 year old videos 😂…Thank you Todd!!
  • @coldsoul333
    I like your product testing a lot. You get right to the point from the beginning to the end without beating around the bush for YouTube.
  • @AlejandroYee
    Thanks for your video. It helped me remove the wheel locks with a 20mm piece. A mcguard that at a tire shop they damaged and did not want to repair. I have been following you for many years.
