Very good quality and easy to use

I use it to attach the stroller when we stop in the street or in an attraction parc (Disney Land). Perfect.

Easy use. Color good

Excellent quality and build

Its a nice concept lock, but the latch that holds the cable was made of plastic instead of metal

It’s a nice compact, light unit and as I have the bright orange one, I’ll be using it mostly as a deterrent. However, I figured out how to work out the code within a minute so it’s not particularly safe.

My toddler managed to break this by pulling it. Not sure how it should secure a bike from adult thieves. Or secure anything really. It’s pretty comfortable to use though :p

The only use for this lock that I can imagine is to lock your skis. Skis get stolen rarely in the US, but it happens, partly because of someone's mistake (e.g., one can grab a wrong pair of skis which look the same as theirs) and partly because of theft. The cable in ski locks is not very thick. It is more a theft deterrent than a theft protection. I am sure that my bicycle cable cutters would cut this cable in one second. However, it is unlikely that a ski thieves would bother carrying bulky cutters or would cut locks in public. They would grab a different pair of skis which are not locked. With this, the key characteristics of a ski lock becomes the length of the cable. I must say, the cable in this lock is on a relatively thick side, perhaps 1.5 mm thick. Cables in ski locks are notoriously short, and every extra inch counts. This lock is better in this sense (has a longer cable) than the other, smaller and lighter lock, that I have, as its cable is a good 4 if not 6 inches longer. It has a 4-digit combination which is nice, although, once again, if one can cut the cable with a proper tools in a second, why would one bother picking a combination? Three digits are as good as four. The downside is that it is a little too big. It fits into a ski jacket pocket, but takes most of it. Description of the lock suggests it as a lock also for bike, I do not know how that would work. When it comes to bikes, it is, basically, a zero security lock. It is not a defense against someone equipped to cut or break locks.

léger, d'utilisation facile, se range dans n'importe quel endroit, ce petit cadenas, sans prétention fait pourtant très bien le job, certes il ne résisterai pas très longtemps à un voleur déterminé, mais il empêche le vol du profiteur qui passe et, l'occasion faisant le larron, vous dérobe vos casques de moto en vous laissant sérieusement dans l'embarras. Je recommande sans hésitation.

I recommend this item for anyone who travels with luggage. The item itself is easy to work with. Not heavy, but sturdy. Setting up your numbers is straight forward. There are a few buttons to get the hang of, but it's easy. Besides the good quality of the product, why do I recommend this? I travel by train regularly, normally with a huge suitcase. Unfortunately you can't always keep your suitcase in eye shot when travelling by train, and even if you can, some person will still try to steal it, as happened with me. I was sat very close to my suitcase, and this person knew it was my suitcase... and yet still tried to walk off with it. The train stops, I'm reading a book, and as I look up to see the view, a thief is literally just about to step off the train with my suitcase. I jump up and corner him so he can't get off, whilst telling him loudly exactly what I thought of him as he looked very sheepish and embarrassed in front of the whole train, unable to get away. But it still upsets me now some very sentimental stuff was almost gone forever. Whilst not foolproof, it's a deterrent. I lock my suitcase to the luggage rack. I was and still am concerned with what staff may say but so far no problems. I've also heard some funny comments about it, but I couldn't care less. Not knowing who the suitcase belongs to, I've heard 'who on earth would lock their suitcase like that tut tut tut'. They soon shut up when I speak up and say 'you would do it too if you saw someone attempt to audaciously steal your stuff in front of you'. This is not for high risk stuff, and it won't turn your item into an impenetrable fortress, it's not designed for that. As I say, someone may try to steal your stuff regardless of this and if they are determined this won't stop them. But, for certain situations it may work as a deterrent or a surprise. It may turn off the opportunist.

Ottimo prodotto. Pratico e funzionale si apprezzano soprattutto la lunghezza del cavo, ( con questo si riescono a chiudere due caschi senza problemi, con quelli lunghi 70 centimetri no!) e il fatto che lo stesso oltre che più spesso è ricoperto con una guaina trasparente che impedisce qualsiasi graffio ai caschi o alla moto.

Ich habe mittlerweile 2 dieser Kabelschlösser. Sie tun, was sie sollen, und schützen mein Gepäck. Ich kann damit Rucksätze aneinander festmachen oder mein Gepäck irgendwo im Zimmer befestigen und sichern. Das Schloss ist leicht zu handhaben und - soweit ich das beurteilen kann - sicher. Unterwegs hängt es immer draußen am Rucksack und nimmt davon keinen Schaden. Sehr gut und robust.
