Bulldog Wheel Clamp compared to Australian Wheel Clamp 2025 review
Bulldog Wheel Clamp - BWC
Australian Wheel Clamp - AWC
is the wheel clamp Australian made
BWC - No, its made in China.
AWC - Yes
warranty
BWC -
No manufacturer warranty if you live in Australia the importer or retailer must, by law, give each purchaser the minimum mandatory 6 month warranty.
AWC - Yes a
10 year Australian manufacturer warranty no matter where you purchase it from.
what size wheels will each wheel clamp fit
BWC - The Bulldog Titan Wheel Clamp range based on their web site there are 8 different size wheel clamps including ones for alloy or steel wheels and wheels that have a wheel trim.
This can be confusing figuring out which one will fit your vehicle. Will not fit a wheel on a 4wd camper trailer.
AWC - All size wheels from the smallest wheel on a jet ski trailer up to the largest wheel on a 4wd off road camper trailer with coil springs and / or piston suspension and all size wheels between, nothing to adjust to fit all size wheels.
do you have to measure the width or diameter of the tyre before purchasing
BWC - Yes
AWC - No
how many size wheel clamps does each manufacturer make
BWC - Based on their web site in the Bulldog Titan Wheel Clamp range there are 8 different sizes.
AWC - Only one size because the one size fits all size wheels from the smallest wheel on a jet ski trailer up to the largest wheel on a 4wd off road camper trailer and all size wheels between, nothing to adjust to fit all size wheels.
what is each wheel clamp made from
BWC - Mild steel then powder coated.
AWC - 2mm thick stainless steel and 10mm diameter high tensile chain that is bolt cutter proof.
does the wheel clamp have welded joints
BWC - Yes
AWC - No
fitting time
BWC - Between 120 - 180 seconds.
Note: Once the three arms have been fitted to the wheel there is a nut in the center of the wheel that has to be tightened. Then a cover is placed over the nut and locked with a key. It seems the cover just covers the nut and to remove the wheel clamp you need a key to remove the cover and a spanner to un-do the nut to be able to remove the three arms from around the wheel.
AWC - Between 20 - 30 seconds.
do mud flaps cause a problem when fitting
BWC - No
AWC - No
does each wheel clamp cover the wheel nuts
BWC - No
AWC - Yes
does the wheel clamp cover the tyres valve to stop a thief deflating the tyre
BWC - No
AWC - Yes
Note: un-like some wheel clamp brands it would not matter if the tyre was completely deflated the Australian Wheel Clamp cannot be removed because of the method used to fit the 10mm diameter high tensile chain around the wheel and the vehicles chassis.
do protruding wheel hubs cause any problems when fitting
BWC - Yes because it appears each size wheel clamp is made to fit a specified tyre width meaning if there is a protruding wheel hub the three arms will not fit around the width of the wheel. This is a tricky one I guess you would need to contact the retailer for an answer.
AWC - No
what type of lock does each wheel clamp have
BWC - A standard push in key lock.
where can each wheel clamp be purchased
BWC - Available from a few retailers throughout Australia. Cannot buy from the manufacturer in China.
AWC - Direct from the Australian manufacture by
contacting us. Plus your order will be posted the next business day
free of charge after we have received your full payment in our company bank account.
