Good so far.

Not too heavy for a heavy duty chain due to its short length. The lock setup is a bit fiddly, and the cloth sleeve keeps sliding around. Probably the best value for this type of lock.

Good chain. Bad lock.

This chain is great. It would keep my bike safe from most theifs. But the disc lock is terrible for locking up chains. With the disk lock, the hook of the lock goes into the lock itself. Therefore, you have nothing to hook the chain on to! You are stuck trying to grip to ends of the chain, holding the two links in the perfect position to allow the locks latch to slide into. And you have to balance the lock in place. While all thats happening, you then must turn the key to bring the latch outside of the lock and through the two chains.

If you want the chain, buy it. But also buy a different lock, unless you want to be seen struggling for 2 minutes every time you want to lock up your bike.

Not too shabby....

Its a pretty nice lock, heavy duty and looks like it would be hard as heck to bust apart or cut in any way. Its a bit heavy but I knew what I was getting based on the product description(3lbs).

My only real gripe is that it is kind of hard to lock as you have to fit a link through a link and turn a key while catching the open ended link with the rotating lock. Kind of hard to describe but tricky to do with just two hands(you three handed people will have no trouble with this lock:). I still think for the money it was a good buy and hopefully I will eventually get the hang of locking it quickly(owned for about three months now with moderate use).

This Padlock/chain combo is great. Its heavy duty and quick to use. There isnt much fumbling around.

The only drawback is that its a short chain.

For the price and utility this product is awesome! It[s a great value.
