Terrible lock enclosure September 3, 2010 After using this lock for only two days i accidentally dropped the lock from a foot or less off the ground only to have the whole casing for the lock come off. After trying to put it on for 15 minutes i finally gave up figuring out that the plastic holding (yes it is plastic, not rubber as you would think) the enclosure together was broken.
Now i have a naked lock that is probably going to rust and have my key break off in it anytime soon. If you take off the plastic enclosure you see that all that technology that onguard claims to have is basically a cheap mastercraft lock with a plastic enclosure to conceal its true identity.
Bottom line if you want a durable lock which doesn't have cheap components and might last you more than a day. For those of you who think you won't drop it, think again. You will try to lock it but the locking mechanism doesn't hold the lock and you let go (at least this is what happened to me).
this lock sucks June 23, 2010 Changbin Liu (PA) It is a lot of pain using this lock. The metal of the keys are "soft", easy to be bent when rotating inside the lock for the purpose of locking and unlocking. Once they are bent, it becomes a "tricky" task for locking and unlocking. Typically I paid more than one minute for this process every time, and I am surprised to find every key (they give us four) has same problem. Even worse, I just got my key broken into two halves when trying to unlock it, and one half got firmly stuck inside the tiny little hole of the lock. I had to use a saw to cut the lock off to get my bike back. I feel depressed and angry. Btw, the lock itself is also hard to use.
I strongly recommend nobody uses it (any more).
Security -nuff said June 12, 2010 J. Mueller Works great - be careful with your keys and opening it. I read other reviews with people bending and breaking their keys. I can see it happening, but you would really have to turn and push hard. I have no issues with it and love its small form factor. Fits great around the back tire and frame. The Cable works well for securing the bike to the rack. Great buy and much cheaper than Kryptonite. Buy it -- do it and do it now.
Great U-Lock for my ride April 14, 2010 A. Gil (Florida USA) I bought this because my last bicycle was stolen because I had one of those combination cables. This makes it way easier to lock and is much better protection. The lock is very sturdy, heavy and thick. There's been no issue with the keys and they work fine.
I like that it includes the extra cable which makes it easier to lock the front tire for added security.
great lock March 19, 2010 Rick Schoonover (San Diego Ca.) I just got this Pitbull mini. I must say it is hefty. Seems pretty bullet proof. I did not have any problems with the key as others' had stated in the reviews. It did come with like 5 keys so I'm hoping not to really need them all. The one drawback and really it's just because I don't have the allen wrenches is that it doesn't come with the ones you need to mount the lock so I have to go to the store to get the tools needed to mount it but overall very happy with the quality. One thing is be careful, once it's locked there is only about 5.5 inches and that has to wrap around some part of your bike and the bicycle rack so you have to be a little creative. But great product.
