They aren't the most secure thing, but they will do plenty to stop the casual thief, and unlike most other security skewers, they can't be opened with needle nose pliers and a few flat screwdrivers.

Opening a saddle QR while the bike it upside down might be awkward though.
Oh, that's interesting! I guess that'd work pretty darn well since the bike would be locked up and unflippable anyway. Very clever!

When I first read they blurb about how they worked, it said the bike had to be vertical, which was confounding me.
