RV FEATURE
The Gemini uses two special ' receivers ' that replace a wheel nut on each wheel.
At its core, the Gemini is a steel rod that expands to 825mm. Once you’ ve expanded the rod to the required length, it’ s just a matter of locking it to each of the receivers on the wheels, effectively‘ fusing’ these wheels together, preventing them from rotating. At first, I wondered how to expand the rod. It turned out that you unscrew one section from the other – it was just taking me a while because of how fine the internal thread is, ensuring that you’ re able to expand the rod to the precise length required by your wheel / nut spacing.
While it doesn’ t cover the wheel nuts like the Nemesis and Nemesis Pro, it would require a thief to remove and fit two new wheels. The Gemini is, however,‘ set and forget’. Once you’ ve fitted the special receivers and expanded the rod to the required length, it would never be a time-consuming or difficult task to fit this device.

FULLSTOP LOCKS
Each of the products in the Fullstop range of anti-theft devices utilise the same two-part lock / barrel mechanism. This seven-pin cylinder lock resists picking, cutting, drilling and freezing. Note: as an experiment many years ago, I attempted to drill out the lock of my Nemesis wheel clamp. I was able to do it, though I resorted to a Makita hammer drill after the Ryobi cordless struggled to do the job.
All Ryobi jokes aside, there was no way I was able to render the lock ineffective without 10 minutes of loud drilling, a little cursing, and generally calling a great deal of attention to myself. If it was a genuine attempt to break through the Nemesis and steal the van, I’ d have been in handcuffs long before I got the clamp off.
