Very simple / effective. The product description could do with an explanation of the “thread pitch” as I ordered the wrong one first time. However, when I rang the person I spoke to was really helpful.

Small and compact, not much larger than a standard nut. Works similarly to a car wheel lock nut but with the addition of an outer, free spinning collar. Comes complete with a small tube of thread lock to. Very expensive for what you get but worth it if it stops theft. Rating reflects short length of time owned so far and high cost.
