  Known as a Brodie knob, suicide spinner, knuckle buster, or wheel spinner, a universal steering wheel knob is a great add-on that offers an easy way to drive with a single hand safely. Common on machines like John Deere tractors, this device is a useful driving aid if you make a lot of turns in a vehicle, even one with modern day power steering. Read on to learn about the best steering wheel knobs on the market.
  Maneuver a vehicle in small spaces. One of the only times where driving gets problematic, it's challenging to move a car or truck around a parking lot or other areas with limited space. A steering wheel assist knob makes the job less difficult by turning the wheel more quickly with a single hand than with two.
  Drive on narrow, unpaved roads. Steering knobs make it simpler to make U-turns on single-lane or gravel roads. They're also a great aid on country roads where steering may be strenuous.
  Fit: Make sure the knob fits onto the wheel. Some knobs work better with softer wheel surfaces. There are also knobs that are geared towards steering wheels with a thicker- and wider-than-average build. These feature bigger clamps. Not all knobs are one size fits all. Importantly, the fit shouldn't interfere with the airbag in the car steering wheel.

  Best Steering Wheel Knob Overall: AutoMuko Silicone Power Handle
  The snap-on design makes installation very simple with no screws required. The knob itself has a low profile that's flatter than some other products on the market, so you're less likely to hit your wrist on the knob when turning the wheel. The surface feels more like leather than hard plastic. Since it takes seconds to change its position, it's less likely to leave a permanent mark on modern steering wheels.

  Best Steering Wheel Knob Honorable Mention: United Pacific 70108 Wheel Spinner
  This aluminum, heavy-duty knob is geared towards those who drive larger vehicles. It features zinc-plated brackets and sealed-in ball bearings underneath the aluminum, waterproof knob. It also has a tall shaft that enables you to control the spinner with precision. There are no plastic parts.
  The knob attaches to the middle of the wheel instead of on the side, resulting in a full and smooth range of movement. It's easy to control in tight spots: The knob swivels freely, and the rotation is smooth. The smooth movements also make shifting a manual transmission while turning the wheel very easy.
  You may need to substitute longer attachment bolts if you have a thick steering wheel. You may also need to modify the mounting clamp to fit since the mounting plate has two "wings" that may present a challenge during installation.
  Test drive your vehicle with the knob after installation to make sure it's tight enough so it won't slip on the wheel while you're driving in traffic.
