"Excellent"

Does the job well and slightly easier to use (visibility of numbers) than the more expensive No. 1 brand I also bought. Price unbelievable right now. 5 stars

"A good medium security bike lock"

Altogether, this is a well-put together lock. I like the fact that it has a changeable combination and requires no tools to do so, just a little lever on the inside mating face. Considering the thickness of the cable, the thickness of the lock=pin seems a little on the wimpy side. still, I twisted and yanked as hard as I could on the thing and nothing happened to it. The lock has an intimidating look to it as well. I'd say that if you're in anywhere but a notorious high-theft area, this lock will work well for you. It's pretty light weight. Just don't count on it not being cut by a large pair of bolt cutters if you ride in really bad areas. 4 stars

"Bike Stolen after 10 minutes"

This happened the first time I used this lock. I chained the bike in front of a Best Buy and while I was inside (10 min), the bike got stolen. Very disappointed. 1 star

"Pleasantly surprised"

I bought this lock because I needed a lightweight lock to travel with. Judging from the picture I thought the cable would be easy to cut with bolt cutters. That is not the case with this lock, since the cable is encased in a hard plastic shell.

So if a thief is carrying bolt cutters strong enough to cut this lock/cable, then guess what, the thief is going to steal your bike no matter what kind of lock you have with you. 5 stars

"Very Substanial "

I bought on-line sight-unseen. This cable lock is larger than the picture appears. Excellent quality for the price and I like the ability to set the lock to any combination/code.

I was planning to coil it up and carry it in my seat-bag, but it's way too big. However, I'll find another use for it. Except for the professional thief, this thing should deter most criminals and send them looking for an easier target.

This company makes good stuff!
