You need this lock if you're going to keep your Thule rack from being stolen. It bolts through your category I hitch and then the locking mechanism slips on one end. The lock is a little pricey but it works. I'm not sure if it gets covered in mud and water if it will still work. I live in Colorado and it is fairly dry here so I think the lock mechanism (which is covered) should be fine.

As others have said, just go and buy at locking hitch pin for a fraction of the cost, or better yet, use a cable and lock which will be much more secure.

Seems expensive for what it is but does the job. Nice to not have to unhitch or worry about someone stealing the rack while on a ride.

First, the lock fits very loosely on the hitch"pin" (screw), so the unit adds noting to the stability. But, the real issue is though this lock will impede the removel of the hitch pin, security is an illusion. The upright assembly is held to the hitch with two standard bolts (nuts). So, with the lock, instead of removing one bolt (the hitch pin), you have to loosen two nuts and remove two bolts. You've really gained almost zero added security.

MAKE YOUR OWN - This part is a total waste of money. I went to REI to pick-up this lock, when I asked the salesman the price he told me $50! I asked him why I could not simply use a small piece of chain to connect the rack to the trailer hitch. He told me I would be better off doing that and said just last weekend they had broken one off for a customer, with a single whack with a hammer (on the lock side which is thin evidently).
I picked up a small length of strong chain for $2.09 at the hardware store, put it through an old bike inner tube so it would not clang against the hitch and used two old padlocks to lock the chain ends to the rack and the trailer hitch (which is bolted and spot welded onto the car). So please, don't waste your money on the Thule STL2 Snug-Tite Lock II, MAKE YOUR OWN!
