I don't get the connection. Mine are just as secure, I can just turn a **** with my hand instead of using a tool. Kind of why the invented door *****.

that's the point, the thief would also need a tool, on my RKC he would have needed 3 different wrenches.
All you gotta do is make the bike next to yours easier....

I've been using these for my last two bikes and never lost my bags. They're cheap also.

I feel like im buying piece of mind....

I get that you need to make your way INTO the saddle bags as mentioned before, but this is like a safety, I tend to forget to lock em unless Im out of town and stoping for the night....so these do make me feel better knowing that worst case the ******* will get away with a couple dirty tshirts and a baseball cap or something of the like

Well to each his own, I'm happy with making it so they can't do it from outside. If he's a pro and not just some kid he will probably have some tools of the trade. As far as needing three different wrenches I think an adjustable might cover that .

You cant use just any torx wrench. The brukus has a pin inside the star figure that requires a hole in the wrench. I bought a couple of extra wrenches. I keep one in the saddle bags, that is always locked and carries my rain gear and a tool kit. No need to get in there on a regular basis. I keep another on my work bench in the garage so it close by if I need to work on the bike.
