What customers say about "Key Specs"

OnGuard Bulldog Combination U-Lock (LK8012C) Cable Combo

Infinitely better than the Kryptonite comparable combo U lock, the wheels feel like quality and they have never jammed or not worked despite the correct combo.
Еhis lock is keyless, so awsome, secure, well made, convenient, and beautiful, works well.
The combo lock is easy to use. The dials seem to move fluidly. Setting the combo was simple.
I live and work in Egypt and brought this with me. It works well and is very secure and safe. The combination is easier than an extra key to carry around.
Nice combo of loop lock and a cable to allow you to secure your bike to any place.

Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit U-Lock

This is a seriously heavy lock offering top-notch security and peace of mind when locking up your ride.
People have noted the weight, yes it's 4.5 pounds, but if you want a secure lock it's not going to be light. I carry mine in a belt with a hip bag and it's not an imposition at all.
I think this is the best u-lock out there. For a casual thief, this is the equivalent of trying to break into a house with a yapping dog.
This is a heavy, confidence-inspiring lock that leaves little space for a would-be thief to insinuate a tool, so it's plainly more difficult to break this lock.
Secondly, it is only 6" long. So, locking your bike to a thick post with a small lock can be a tight squeeze.

What customers say about "Features"

OnGuard Bulldog Combination U-Lock (LK8012C) Cable Combo

The cable is very, very handy to have for wrapping around your back tire or frame, especially if whatever you're locking to isn't very accommodating.
The entire thing is covered in a soft material so no worries about scratching your paint.
Heavy duty lock and cable. I use it on my electric bike, so weight isn't an issue. The combination is easy to reset.
Nice quality product, easy to set combination, rubberized finish protects bicycle, easy on and off.
The U lock is rather good. I really like the built in dial (no more keys). There is mounting equipment included.

Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit U-Lock

I also like the lighted feature on the main key that comes with the lock as it makes unlocking in poorly-lit areas much easier.
Heavy, sturdy, and the lock and key mechanism still works smoothly as long as you lubricate it occasionally.
The steel is very thick and the bottom bracket is heavy-duty. It would be very difficult for a would-be thief to cut through this.
The failure is, the key goes in and turns just fine, the lock will not unlock.
6" is not enough for my opinion.
