 No-frills Lock July 2, 2007
Andrew John Wang (Houston, TX, USA)
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
In a nutshell, this is really a no-frills U-Lock. I am completely satisfied with this lock, but I am aware that much more sophisticated bike security technology exists, so I wouldn't rate it as perfect.
I regularly leave my bike parked and unattended in ***Downtown Houston*** with two of these and two Bell cable locks (one for each wheel), and I have had no problems. When using bike locks, I go for quanity as opposed to quality. Multiple (4 or 5) average locks will overwhelm a thief way more than a single 'good' lock, IMHO. I'm even thinking about buying a third...
 doesn't work June 18, 2008

i don't usually have the time or bother to write reviews, but i just thought i'd let everyone know that like several other reviewers of this lock, i too had my bike stolen using it. another bike locked to the same post as mine with a different u-lock was left untouched.
the lock doesn't work. reason enough not to purchase it i think. i'm getting a more heavy duty one this time.
 Great lock, greater price April 1, 2007

It's a perfectly usable U-Lock for about the cheapest price I could find. U-locks are targeted much less than cable locks, as the solid steel is much harder to cut than cabled steel, so while it is quite secure in its own right, it acts as more of a theft deterrent.
 Good basic lock December 12, 2007

good basic lock cheaper than the store easy to install if you want something more secure than your going to have to pay this is not leave overnight in the city lock if you get me its good for a few hours especially if you have a nice bike otherwise its a good basic lock..
incredibly weak September 22, 2008

my bike and my girlfriend's bike were next to each other, locked up, outside of my apartment. mine had a kryptonite u-lock, hers had this one (the bell hands off bike u-lock).
we went outside and he bike was gone, mangled bell u-lock left on the ground. my bike was still there, but the u-lock was slightly bent.
the thief obviously tried to get mine, couldn't do it, and went to hers and had no trouble at all. i definitely DO NOT suggest this lock at all if you live in an area that bicycle theft is a problem. FYI - i'm in chicago, so it's not like this is a rare occurrence, just keep it in mind.
