Etronic Bike Lock M8, Cable Lock 6 Feet Long Coiled Security Resettable Combo Combination Lock Bicycle Lock with Mounting Bracket

This 5/8" cable lock has a solid lock mechanism and is extremely durable. This cable lock replaces a brand name 1/2" (12mm) cable lock that was nearly cut through by a want-to-do-it-yourself project. It did its job, but only just, while we were out shopping after a ride with be thief. Other shoppers, I believe, scared the thief away. This thicker cable gives us a lot more assurance that our rides will still be in the car when we get back.

Great! This Etronic Security Lock was purchased to secure my 10-foot gate rather than a bicycle. It appeals to me for a variety of reasons. One advantage is that it is thicker than standard cable and thus more difficult to break. The second reason is that the lock operates on a numerical system. I made the mistake of purchasing a cable lock with letters instead of numbers from a department store. I was on the verge of going insane trying to remember a code that made any sense. That one was never one of my favorites. br>br>I purchased a second cable lock from another department store, but my wife refused to use it because it was difficult to turn the numbers. It was time to go back to the store. br>br>I ordered this one from Amazon, and it's thicker than almost any other cable, has easy-to-turn numbers, and comes apart easily once the code is dialed in; it's a winner in many ways, and I like it for those reasons. I wish it were shorter, but I suppose I can't have it all.

I've had it for about three years and it's still going strong. Fortunately, no one has attempted to cut it, so I haven't had anyone test its actual protection capabilities. I'm hoping things continue to be like this. br>br>This cable lock is quite heavy, making it difficult to store on a bike (there is a supplied clip to hold it on the seat post, but it is nearly useless). The cable continues to function independently. The lock is reasonably well-coiling after years of hard use. designed (as little stress on the cable as possible). While the cable is fairly flexible, it is only 6 feet long, making mounting a bike to a car rack difficult.

Okay, it appears to be quite substantial, but it is only as strong as its weakest link. As seen in the illustration. For our front deck, I rigged up a small 4' x 8' trailer to a support pole. I forgot to unlock the trailer, so I lifted the tongue and began to pull it forward a little to get the trailer coupling onto the car's hitch. As I began to move the trailer, I felt a small amount of resistance and turned around to see what it was. The toothed half of the lock mechanism, which slides into the combination half, had snapped in half. I did it by accident, and I didn't even notice the slight resistance caused by the lock mechanism snapping. A sharp tug at the lock mechanism, based on my experience, is all it takes to break it in half. That was a complete letdown.

This is for a secondary bike, and I bought it because of the 5/8" thick cable; the last lock I had like it was in the 11-inch range. With the next size thinner cable, the price drops to around $12. My motorcycle was taken from me. Because all of the smaller wires were splayed outwards, they had to WORK HARD twisting the bolt cutter back and forth. (As a result, I spent a lot of money on an On Guard lock for my bike, which I now really like - Combination self-set - See my reviews for more information. My neighborhood has a high rate of bicycle theft. It's simple to set up, and while I haven't put it to the test with thieves yet, I believe it will deter them enough. Plus, it's for a refurbished three-wheeler that everyone in my apt complex can use. The thicker cable is exactly what I wanted, and I don't think old three-wheelers are on the thieves' priority list.

It's simple to install and operate, and it appears to be substantial enough to deter a casual thief. For my recumbent, I have one of these. (The bike is a bit strange. ) I don't need a 15-year-old to tempt a thief, so I don't need a 15-year-old. When I'm out in the city, I use a pound steel chain, which I have on my upright bike. ) I use a second one to lock my upright bike inside the gated parking garage at work, which has security cameras and people walking to and from cars all the time. br>br>Any cable lock, including this one, can be cut by a thief with a hacksaw and some spare time. This one isn't unique in that regard, but it appears to be thicker than others a thief might see on a rack, making your bike less likely to be targeted first, and you won't have to worry about misplacing the key.

This is a fantastic bike lock. Advantages: br>br> The large dial is simple to read and even simpler to set to your preferred four-digit time. a four-digit code Let's face it, any bike lock can be broken into, but this one will keep the majority of "casual" thieves at bay. give the crooks a run for their money Most crooks will be put off by the cable's diameter alone. The six-foot length of uncoiled vinyl-covered cable is long enough to secure a bike to most bike racks. br>br>Con: if you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, this is not the place My bike's top tube and seat tube are too small for the included clamp. The lock, on the other hand, is self-locking. I'm still giving this product five stars because it easily fits in my MTX trunk bag after coiling.

We were very disappointed because we thought we were buying a tough lock, and it appears that they simply held on to either side of the lock and bent it until the key part broke.
