    Really useful to have with a pushchair. We took this to Disneyland with us and we felt much better leaving the pram unattended. We always take it with us when we go out now. You never know when you’ll need it and it’s such a good size it doesn’t take up much room.

    It is a useful secondary locking device to chain multiple bikes together or loop various parts of the bike onto a permanent post. It is long enough.

    Pesa poco y se puede llevar encima sin molestias, el diametro del cable es de: 2 mm y viene forrado con un plastico trasparente de proteccin con lo que llega a los 2,4 mm de diametro que anucian. El funcionamiento es sencillo, instrucciones en frances e ingles, Esta claro que no aguantan unos alicates pero sirve para evitar un hurto no profesional

    Not that strong but light to carry and would make an opportunist stop and think then hopefully move on. Used for a bike and would use for luggage.

    Easy system for altering combination. Provides a simple form of security for very short periods, or when your bike is visible from within a cafe. Also ideal for locking up skis and snowboards.

    Ich habe mir das Schloss zum Anschlieen meines Kinderwagen gekauft und bin zufrieden damit. Ich ziehe einen Stern ab, da ich den Begriff “ultrasicher” im Titel sehr bertrieben finde. Mit einem einfachen Drahtknipser wre das Stahlseil wohl trotzdem durch, da mache ich mir keine Illusionen. Dennoch ein handliches Teil, das immer unterwegs dabei ist. Und wenn der Kinderwagen ausgedient hat, wird es wohl weiter Verwendung finden fr das Laufrad oder hnlichem.

    Super Schloss um mal schnell den Scooter, Ruckscke oder die Strandsachen zu befestigen. Der Schutz ist zumindest, dass eine Abschreckung geboten wird und sich potentielle Langfinger lieber woanders bedienen. Praktisch ist der Aufrollmechanismus. Auf Knopfdruck wickelt sich das Drahtseil wieder ein. Haben im Urlaub unsere Strandsachen, Luftmatratze, Schwimmring an den Sonnenschirm und den liegen befestigt. Somit sind diese bei Wind nicht weggeflogen. Auf der Reise haben wir unsere Koffer im Warteraum damit gesichert. Unterwegs haben wir unsere Ruckscke einfach am Stuhl befestigt. Praktisch ist dabei das schmale Drahtseil, welches durch jedes Reiverschlussende passt. Wir wrden uns dieses Schloss sogar noch einmal mit einer lngeren Schnur kaufen. Wie gesagt kein hundertprozentiger Schutz, schreckt aber Gelegenheitsdiebe ab und man muss nicht stndig alles im Blick haben.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersWorks very well. I feel a little more secure with this cable lock securing my things. Doesn’t have an alarm but is a good deterrent for petty thieves but a good pair of bolt cutters will cut it, though I have not seen many people carrying bolt cutters around in airports and other public places lately! haha
    It’s a good product for the price. I recommend this item to anyone wanting more security when traveling, etc.

    Ich hatte das Schloss bisher auf zwei Kurztrips mitgenommen um meinen Koffer (Handgepckkoffer und Grokoffer) anzubinden. Das Schloss reicht von der Lnge vollkommen um an das Bettgestell oder etwas dickere Pfosten etc anzubinden. Auch eine Busfahrt hat es denn Koffer an Ort und Stelle gehalten. Einen Abstrich gab es leider trotzdem, die Zahlscheiben selbst sind manchmal mhsam zu drehen und die Knpfe mssen fest gedrckt werden. Ansonsten stimmt das Preis-Leistungs-Verhtnis.

    Die Verarbeitung ist fr den Preis solide, der Schliemechanismus funktioniert einwandfrei (alles wie beschrieben); das Gehuse ist aus Plastik und damit wahrscheinlich eine Schwachstelle. Unknackbar ist das Schloss mit Sicherheit nicht, aber es kommt ja auf das Anwendungsgebiet an.

    Ich brauchte es, um fr kurze Zeitrume mein Gepck im Zug auf einer sehr langen Reise zu sichern und auch mal ein Auge zu machen oder auf die Toilette gehen zu knnen, ohne sich allzu groe Sorgen um das Gepck machen zu mssen. In diesem Szenario wird kaum jemand mit einem Bolzenschneider versuchen, das Schloss aufzuknacken (was mit Sicherheit gelingen wrde). Mein Fahrrad wrde ich mit diesem Schloss, wenn es mehrere Stunden drauen unbeaufsichtigt steht, also wohl eher nicht sichern.

    Fr kurzfristiges Sichern vor Gelegenheitsdieben ist es aber auf jeden Fall geeignet.

    For the price I was expecting cheap plastic and perhaps flimsy connectors. But this thing feels solid. It’s slightly heavy in the hand indicating more metal than I would have thought. I’ve been using it now for a month with no issues. I would recommend it to others.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersIch habe das Produkt gekauft um meinen Farhrrad-Korb zu sichern. Es ist ganz klar, dass das Produkt keinen hohen Diebstahlschutz liefert, daher wrde ich nie sehr teure Gegenstnde damit sichern. Das sollte auch durch die diversen Kommentare jedem klar sein/werden!
    Aber fr den einfachen Diebstahlschutz ist es sehr gut zu handhaben und schreckt den Gelegenheitsdieb sicher ab!
    Die Beschreibung “ultrasicher” ist in der Tat irrefhrend und sollte – wie schon in vielen Bewertungen genannt – abgendert und relativiert werden.
    Daher 1 Stern weniger, als wenn es fairer beschrieben worden wre!
    Das Produkt an sich ist einfach zu handhaben, fr den Preis von ordentlicher Qualitt und praktisch. Aber halt wirklich nur fr die Sicherung von nicht allzu teuren Gegenstnden zu empfehlen um den einfachen Diebstahl zu erschweren!

    Vorab: das Gehuse ist Kunststoffspritzguss und macht nicht den aller-stabilsten Eindruck.
    Dennoch macht das lngenverstellbare Stahlseil das, was es soll: einfache Diebsthle verhindern. Egal ob man damit ber mittag sein Snowboard sichern will, unterwegs beim Biergarten-Besuch mal eben den Kinderwagen oder irgendetwas anderes anschlieen will.
    Es ist bestimmt nicht das sicherste – es verhindert jedoch, dass Gegenstnde auf die schnelle entwendet werden knnen.

    Golden Review Award: 17 From Our UsersThe crazy reason why I bought this was to secure my chair to my desk at work. You see, we have these d-bags at my office from other parts of the company who sit in the hotel spaces, but take certain liberties like taking our good chairs, taking our pens, dry erase markers, etc. Theft is quite rampant. Our chairs are ergo adjusted to our bodies and I was told it cost over $300 per person. The final straw was this d-bag from IT who didn’t even realize I labeled my chair and lo and behold when I got to work in the morning, I see him in my chair. That was the final straw and I gave it to him good (in a professional way).

    So I chain my chair to my desk. It was quite hilarious. I left the long cabinet drawer unlocked and chained it to the handle. The next morning I see my chair almost half way in the aisle and the cabinet door fully opened. I hope that IT guy ate you know what and damaged his flimsy wrist. The best part? He doens’t come around.

    Thank you Bosvision.

    I used this to lock my skis up on a recent trip and kept it in the pocket of my jacket when not in use. Very simple to use, and it feels quite secure despite the small size. Only downside I can think of is that there are 3 buttons on the lock and I kept forgetting which one does what (one is to retract the cable, one to unlock, and one to reset the code). Not a huge issue but some kind of markings would be helpful.

    Golden Review Award: 37 From Our UsersMy gadget bag was stolen at Starbucks with my tablet, extra pair of prescription glasses, BT keyboard, flashhhhh drives etc.–a n expensive lesson. I went looking for something to prevent that kind of snatch and grab occuring again. I bought a large carabeener which works but not in environments with thick table legs or stands so I started looking for a retractable lock. The search was not encouraging with most retractable locks receiving one star reviews accompanied by failure rates tales of woe. I decided to try the Bovision lock a try as one of the only ones with mixed reviews. I had low expectations but I have to say it’s working well for me so far. I’m using it at Starbucks and other internet friendly locations in San Francisco, not in cold weather ski lodges. It’s light, small and easily fits in my gadget bag, about the size of a mouse. The three foot cord is long enough to loop around a table leg and through both my laptop and gadget bags. I don’t leave my bags unattended as I’m sure a wirecutter would do the job but it does the job of preventing a thief from stealthily easing your under-the-table bag away. I try to take care of it as it’s made of plastic, not steel. I didn’t have any trouble setting the combination nor retracting the cable. I’m happy with the product.

    *********

    Update: 08/29/15
    I’ve been using the lock several times a week for several months now at Starbucks and other cafes. The lock hasn’t jammed or developed any of the other horrible systems others have reported. It’s still working well for me and continues to prevent snatch and grab thefts.

I like to string all my shirts, underwear, pants, shorts, etc. and lock them up. Then I throw my stuff into the suitcase and shut it. Do this with several cable locks. This way the thieving TSA bums, baggage boys, airport cops, and security inspectors cannot selective swipe your stuff. This system works very well for me in Suvarnabhumi Airport where they have stolen from me 6 times in the last 3 trips I’ve taken there in 3 years. You can do better by punching 2 holes on both sides of the luggage’s top handle and stringing a braided cable through them. Then crimp or screw lock the cable in place. You can find the parts at Home Depot. Now you can string your Bosvision cable through it along with your clothes. Ha! Fool those monkey shines.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersHaven’t field tested yet, but seems sturdy enough. Nothing super high security, as probably with enough force someone could break the main housing since it’s plastic, but that would bring a lot of attention and still require a good amount of effort. Not a big deal for me, since I got this as a simple deterrent mostly for long bus/trains and hostels without lockers. May also use on the beach to tie to a tree if going solo. Easy to lock/unlock, small, light, perfect for traveling.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersDieses Schloss reicht fr meine Belange vollkommen aus. Leicht zu ffnen und das Stahlseil ist mir 90 cm gengend lang um mal schnell was abzuschlieen bwz. an die Kette zu legen.
    Fr dauerhafte Sicherungen natrlich nicht geeignet, was man bei dem Preis auch nicht erwarten darf.

    Really good lock for my pram, which is easy to use & does a great job in keeping the pram secure when out & about. Very happy with this item & would defiantly recommend it.

    Das Schloss macht einen guten Eindruck. Die Verarbeitung ist gut unddie Zahlenkombination lsst sich gut einstellen.
    Ich benutze es als Skischloss, um einen einfachen und spontanen “Mitnahmediebstahl” zu erschweren. Wenn jemand es wirklich darauf anlegt ein Paar Ski zu klauen, wird dieses Schloss kein Hindernis sein. Dafr ist es aber auch nicht gedacht.

    Ein Negativpunkt an diesem Schloss ist das Verhltnismig groe Gehuse. Mein vorheriges Schloss (Burton Cable Lock) hatte zwar nur eine 3er Zahlenkombi und ein etwas dnneres Drahtseil, erfllte aber den gleichen Zweck und war vielleicht halb so gro wie das Bosvision.

    Wenn man ohne Rucksack unterwegs ist spielt dieser Grenunterschied schon eine Rolle.

    Daher “nur” 4 Sterne.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersUseful lock to carry under your seat for fastening motorbike jacket and helmet to the bike when left briefly. It’s not the smallest one of these cable locks I’ve got and not the strongest one either, but it stops opportunists (or even the wind just blowing my jacket off the seat). Still fully operational but the recoil is wicked so mind your fingers!

    I bought this for my young granddaughter to secure her bike. My daughter set it up with her and was very impressed. Combination lock so no keys to lose. Retractable cable is a clever bonus. Granddaughter thought it was cool – daughter felt this was an excellent buy, value for money and secure.

    The are really useful little gadgets and I have found lots of uses for it. I bought this one to replace a cheaper 3 digit lock that broke and jammed on – a devil to sort out. This seems much sturdier and looks like it should do a better job.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersMy Bosvision combination lock came exactly the way it was advertised.
    It’s a quick and easy way to lock your bike or other. It’s not the strongest
    lock, but I never thought it would be. I use it for quick lockups to the market,
    etc when you know you won’t be gone that long.
    I also use it as a cd holder, which I’m thinking about patenting.

    I was looking for a way to lock my helmet when my topcase if full. This is a perfect solution. I LOVE the retractable cable feature. The cable fits through the D-rings. Easy to change the combo. Cable seems strong. The case is plastic but I have dropped a couple times and it didn’t have durability issues that I noticed.

    This product is designed to keep people honest. If someone for some reason is walking around with cable cutters then I’m sure they could cut right through. In short, it does the job, no key to carry, compact and you can’t be the price.
