Maypole Apex Wheel Clamp review
Maypole Stronghold Apex Triangular Wheel Clamp SH5456 (15–18in)
By Tom Calder
A clamp is the wrong tool for a car you drive every day and exactly the right one for a van between jobs, a motorhome over winter or a second car on the drive. This Maypole is graded Sold Secure Gold in the automotive category, not just for caravans, and one size covers wheels from 15 to 18 inches. It stops the wheel turning and its bright bulk is a deterrent from the street, but it won't stop a vehicle being lifted onto a transporter, so pair it with a tracker for anything valuable.
- Best for
- Cars, vans and motorhomes that sit for days
- Skip it if
- You drive the car daily

Who shouldn't buy this
Don't buy it if you drive the car daily: a steering lock fits that routine, and you'll actually use it.
