A differential lock (or diff-lock) literally locks out the differential action, thus forcing the torque to be split equally between two wheels or two axles. Transforming two axles to work as one or two wheels to rotate as if on a single axle can help increase traction in off-road terrain or in a straight line while accelerating hard.
