Samurai Wheel Clamp compared to Australian Wheel Clamp 2022 review

Samurai Wheel Clamp
SWC

Australian Wheel Clamp
AWC

is the wheel clamp Australian made

SWC - No, why due to the low price it retails for in Australia, UK and USA we cannot see how it can be made in Australia then exported to UK and USA. I believe its made in China then exported to other countries.

AWC - Yes

warranty

SWC - No manufacturer warranty if you live in Australia the importer or retail 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

SWC - Most standard vehicles wheels, will not fit 4wd wheels, limited to mainly alloy rims that have large enough holes in them so the arm of the wheel clamp can go inside the rim to secure the wheel, you can see this in the picture above. Can't use with wheel trims.

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

SWC - Yes

AWC - No

how many size wheel clamps does each manufacturer make

SWC - Based on their web site there is only one size.

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

SWC - 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

SWC - Yes

AWC - No

fitting time

SWC - To fit and remove from a wheel the Samurai Wheel Clamp has to be adjusted with a hex head spanner. To fit have to make the jaws wider than the width of the wheel, place the Samurai Wheel Clamp over the wheel then use the hex head spanner to tighten. Then the lock has to be fitted. Time I guess 4 - 6 minutes.

AWC - Between 20 - 30 seconds.

do mud flaps cause a problem when fitting

SWC - No

AWC - No

does each wheel clamp cover the wheel nuts

SWC - No

AWC - Yes

does the wheel clamp cover the tyres valve to stop a thief deflating the tyre

SWC - 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

SWC - No

AWC - No

what type of lock does each wheel clamp have

SWC - A standard push in key lock.

AWC - Enforcer Wheel Clamp includes a high security padlock with a shackle that is bolt cutter proof. Supreme Wheel Clamp includes our patented locking system. The padlock is fully enclosed inside a thick walled stainless steel cylinder, see pictures Padlock Protection.

where can each wheel clamp be purchased

SWC - 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 is posted free of charge the next business day to any specified address in Australia.
