Steering Wheel Aid - Spinner Knob (Silver)

Pros: I have an old Land Rover Series 3, which does not have power steering. This knob allows me an extra inch or so of leverage and makes parallel parking and tight manoeuvrings a little easier. Inside, there's a small ball bearing race which should keep it going longer (yes - I voided the warranty already, but thats why I claim "expert involvement :)

Cons: Not pictured is a little sprung knob that lets the main handle rotate about 95 degrees outwards (or inwards if you put it on the inside of the wheel) Possibly this is to "put it away" for normal driving. I think its a potential weak spot. The main mounting hole is about 34 mm across, and there's not a lot of slack space for various sized wheels. Mine's only 20mm in any direction, so I've had to be quite creative with packing. I am currently carving a piece of old rimu to replace my hacky customwood prototype.

Other: Only for drivers who are aware of the limitations.

Pros: - Easy to install - Looks snazzy - Clip that allows you to fold away when not in use

Cons: very poor build quality witch makes it almost useless for what its intended for . The base part that clamps around the wheel is made well but the knob is way too week to be of any use on a car without powered steering, The knob is made of hollow plastic no more then 2mm thick, There is no bearing between the knob and the mounting base its just the a shaft that knob spins on. there is also a large amount of play in the knob both up and down and sideways.

Other: Let down by the poor quality of the knob, may still be used on power steering however there is no point of having one with powered steering.
