Sometimes a bit fiddly to thread, but the spring keeps it compact and looks pretty strong.
This is a second purchase as product is excellent. Great value for money. Tough.
Good for locking up a bike, thick and long, the coils are a bit annoying though
You would really mean business to cut through this safety cord!
I have used this to lock rattan furniture to a Pergola and so far it is working fine. As for durability, only time will tell.
This product does not disappoint. Having had a motorcycle stolen I am now very security conscious. I use this in conjunction with other security devices to link bikes together whilst touring. Strong, self coiling and protected from the elements.
I used this product to secure an item that is stored outside to a ring bolt in a concrete post. It seems quite solid despite other reviews I saw so is doing a good job. If people can break into banks with all their security, nothing is really safe but all you can do is deter an opportunistic thief from a quick snatch. I also have a Master padlock and the two together look quite strong. It asks about weatherproof but as I have only had it a few a weeks, I have only given a 3 score as it hasn’t been exposed to weather much. Only months will tell.
I’m sure a determined thief would cut through this with Bolt-cutters, but it wouldn’t be easy and it will definitely put off any opportunist thief.
I plan to use it to secure my bikes on my bike-rack using the tow-loop that’s fixed to the car.
I used this mainly to secure my front quick-release wheels to my main bike lock to prevent thieves from running off with one of my wheels! It works great and is very compact. I’ve also put it through a lot of weight to see if it retains its recoil shape and it does. The only issue I can think of is the coiled shape can actually make it a little tricky to fit through your wheel spokes. If you need to run it through tight gaps or holes regularly and don’t have patience, you should get the straight type.
Fab – just the job to secure an expensive barbecue to a brick wall (using a padlock and an additional anchor fixed into the brick)
Good sturdy plastic coated strong wire for security purposes does the job and a good price for its length. 5*****
This is such good value for money. Really strong and sturdy. Very pleased
Excellent product. Needed to secure a large wood sculpture to a tree, does the job perfectly. Gone are the days when you didn’t need to think about such things, but that’s the way some people are. It’s discreet, so doesn’t make the sculpture look poor as a chain would. Overall, very pleased with this security device.
Haven’t tried cutting it, but it looks and feels sunstantial
Really gets to places you need and I bought two one for the front wheel and frame and another for my quick release seat and the back wheel…
Strong, durable and secure, but arrives so tightly coiled that it is very difficult to uncoil and put through bike wheels / frames. The plastic coating does protect your paintwork well.
A solid cable for use with good quality padlock for locking bike up. Quite heavy for carrying around.
It’s a thick braided steel cable covered in plastic. Not easy to get through I would have thought. I am using it to secure 2 bikes to the wall and its more than long enough.
Such a secure addition to any D-lock combo. These are extremely thick and scream security so will deter thieves very well. I would strongly recommend these with your D lock to secure around the front wheels… you could even get two of these for the look and benefit of extra security.
I got these to anchor stuff than for security. They are incredibly strong, although I don’t know how much force they’re take before they broke. The vinyl coating makes them easy to handle and protects what you are securing. However, the fact that they return to a coiled state can make them a little awkward to handle, especially if you don’t have both hands free.
I use this in conjunction with a D lock for my bike – it works well as I carry the cable locked into the D lock on the bike and it just stays out to the way of my legs.
It is long enough to lock two bikes through a stand.
The difficult bit is that the way it has been made as a spring means it is always pulling back as you extend it , but this is the price you pay for it curling up nicely when not in use which outweighs the disadvantage.
For the money I wasn’t expecting much, but I was very surprised by how strong they were. The quality is exceptional. Would I consider buying this again, yes, would I recommend it to my friends. Yes.
Mines it on the balcony with a heavy duty lock its peace of mind
Item with good quality, but there is the drawback that it remains looped
I love that it is hacksaw resistant. It gives me peace of mind.
Good piece of kit, not the most secure but will stop opportunistic thieves!
Secure steel rope for my bikes .
seems very sturdy and would be difficult to cut without power tools ,happy with price and product.
Very useful for attaching any clothing left on my motorbike. Sturdy and a good length.
seems like a sturdy cable, light enough to carry in my back pack, the vinyl coating is soft and does not scatch the frame on your bike and it’s a hell of lot stronger than a caf lock, along with my abus lock both together weigh around 1lb and not only that it’s a great price
Only problem is only you can use for bike or gates or Tow for car I am using for dogs but it’s keep twisting even dogs pull soon is relax it’s come on same place otherwise good but not good for dogs.
What can i say nice and long, chunky does the job.
Im useing it to secure garden benches.
Good length and not too heavy – but appears strong and secure. Bought with a combination padlock
Just what I needed to secure my tools together in my shed. Makes it a little more difficult for would be thieves !!!!
Good cable security with a good thickness to deter thieves & great value
It is an excellent product for anything you want to keep locked up. Very sturdy and strong but not too heavy that you can’t carry it about. Bought for my sons new bike and so far it’s done a good job – so very happy 🙂
Used in all weathers to secure boat to mooring (ensuring both end loops are kept out of water, locked together in boat foredeck well under cover) separate mooring line takes the weight/load – cable for added security/anti theft)
does the job, love that i can put one end through the other and thereby extend length/ lock to another lock.
i’m not criminally inclined and haven’t attempted attacking this with tools – but it appears to be strong enough to keep my pressure washer in my shed where it belongs. hope i am right.
Bought this to help secure golf cart seems strong and at the moment is ok
Very handy and easy to use- I used it to replace a metal chain which was around our 3 bikes, but it kept leaving scratches so I got this and it’s much better! I cannot comment on whether someone could cut through it or not, but we still have our bikes!
Bit awkward to use as it is made to coil, but perfect for the job.
The items came well packaged and look as if they will do what I want and more
Good heavy cable well made fairly thick reassuring addition to my U-lock – maybe a bit heavy for carrying around on your bike… But cables can be cut so a good heavy duty cable is a must.! Best used in addition to your primary security and or with a ground anchor.
12mm diameter cable 20% thicker & stronger than most available in bicycle shops, self-coiling so easier to carry and store, much cheaper than equivalent branded double loops like ABUS and Kryptonite.
Recommended
It nicely secures front wheel to main locking device. Good value.
Excellent, said very flexible due to its size cable. Very recomend. Thanks a lot for sellers and producers
Great item, long enough to lock 4 bikes up round a tree. Good quality item.
Bought one of these to secure the ladders in my back garden. I was worried that the self coiling would make it hard to use but in practice it does not self coil at all. This might be a issue for some but for me it is a bonus. Very bendy with a smooth surface and ideal for snaking through various things that should not be moved. Probably too thin to stop the determined thief with major boltcutters but that applies to anything short of a solid U bolt.
i use this in conjunction with a On-Guard Pitbull LS-8002 Keyed Shackle Lock, I thread it through my saddle and front wheel. I am sure a determined theif would have no trouble cutting it but will stop the opertunist from running off with my saddle/wheel.
Just purchased my second one! Nice security cable, using to secure my BBQ to ground with appropriate attachment, working out very nicely so I have ordered second for my patio chairs and tables. Worth the money and recommend if needing a security cable, the eyes at both ends are a bonus and fit nicely through each other.
Tried to get similar product from D.I.Y. Store but they don’t even come close..
It definitely works, and is long enough to wrap around a wheel and lock onto a u-lock, but my main issue is that the coil that it forms can be very hard to uncoil sometimes, as it gets very stiff. It’s not a major issue, but an issue for me none-the-less.
works really well, fairly loud piercing siren though a bit louder would have been better, well packaged but very slow dispatch time from Amazo
Just as advertised, feels strong and is long enough to loop through two bycicles and a bike carrier.
I bought this lock for a Vespa as I have had trouble with finding a lock which will fit through the wheel due to the break disks. It is a great lock/cable for being able to lock the scooter to a pole etc as it is just long enough to do this accompanied with a good padlock. I like that the cable has the yellow elements as this alone acts as a deterrent against thieves.
The cable itself feels very durable and has only showed slight signs of wear as the yellow rubber has moved a couple of times but this is easily put back in place. I would definitely purchase this again as it is the only lock I have found that is suitable for my needs as well as being durable enough to ensure safety for my scooter.
Seems well made, protective sleeve soft enough to protect produc
Thick and chunky, very springy in terms of wanting to coil itself up, but easy enough to loop it round my bike’s front wheel, “through itself”, then back to meet my Kryptonite D-lock which takes care of the frame and back wheel.
The coiling makes it very convenient to carry – I wrap it round the top tube, then hook the front end of the cable around the head tube and it stays decently in place while I ride without rattling or getting in the way.
I am quite pleased with this Cable so far, it springs back after use which is handy, feels very sturdy and You can put it through the spokes in the wheels quite easily And wraparound things, I got a nice strong Lock to go with it, Very versatile It arrived quickly very pleased that the price
Order two of these steel cables arrived when they said they would. – They appear to be heavy weight and I guess the test will be if anyone tries to cut or force them. Hopefully that will not be the case…….
Sterling 121C 12 x 1200mm Double Loop Vinyl Coated Steel Cable – Delivered and packaged well – you can choose a more expensive so called named cable but this fits the bill and the pocket perfectly a great addition to my bike security – will use this seller again thank you
In conjunction with a Sold Secure lock, I would recommend wrapping this around your front wheel and frame, then around something which is solidly in the ground, put one of the loops through the opening on the other loop and pull it to your sold secure lock, then put your Sold Secure lock through that loop to secure your front wheel to your frame.
This will not stop the best of thieves, but will put off any opportunists.
very pleased with this purchase would recommend it to anyone, this was bought as i needed to extend away from my present ground ancho
This is a strong chain.
I’m using it to keep my bicycle secured on my back yard.
Fits perfectly my U-Lock.
It does what it is intended for. a good security device. being a larger diameter cable, I would assume more difficult to cut!
Well made and the self coiling is handy and I now use it with a D bolt when securing my cyles
This bike cable is great for securing your bike! Although the looped cable is good for storage it can be a little difficult to wind it round the bike. Other than that it’s great!
Very satisfied good product so far so good. Would recommend does what it says on the tin. Good price too.
Using it as a bicycle lock,weight is under 500g with arbus padlock and also works with a D lock for added security.
Good quality and fast delivery.
Good solid cable, for securing my scooter to a solid object, lamp post, tree, fence etc.
I use this in conjunction with an Abus D-Lock.
Strong coil which nicely coils itself up again after use and therefore easily stored in my bag or top-box.
Very robust but not too heavy.
Excellent!
This item is really good for the money paid and would recommend to any friend using on a bike to make it safe
Great product. Brought this to lock accessories to my bike in conjunction with a D-Lock. Seems like a really strong cable, much thicker and sturdier than most locks I have seen. I would even be happy just to lock my bike with this cable for a short amount of time but, I wouldn’t recommend it for longer lengths as all cable locks are much easier to break than D-Locks and chains! All in all, a great lock cable, arrived quickly. Couldn’t ask for more! 5 Stars.
Bought this for about 10. I use it to extend the reach of my d lock for my new motorbike. I have to say it seems well made and for the price is great though it is not quite as chunky and secure as I had thought from the pictures. The length is just right though to allow for securing my bike to street furniture where possible. I would recommend it for the price.
