Thread lock. You'll need a wrench to get them off later.

No.

Most people use valve stems that cost a couple bucks, so they're not worth stealing. Remember, the purpose of wheel locks isn't to prevent stealing of the lug nuts; it's to prevent stealing of the wheels. Not so with valve stem locks.

i had a set i still do but i dont use them anymore.

they work great. they cant be taken off without the key.

i had my old ones jacked by some punk kids. so i got those to replace them. never has a problem.

only thing is when you forget the key when you go to check your tire pressure or something.

The only reason I would ever get those is to prevent some dumb *** from letting the air out of my tires as a prank.

I never cease to be amazed by what one can find on ebay.
