Great for my bike since I wanted a very strong yet compact lock that wouldn't bang around while riding. Several other reviews mentioned difficulty locking the shaft to the lock. I sometimes have similar trouble. You have to visually make sure the insides of the lock are lined up (clear path) for the two pieces to fit clean and smooth. Sometime the keyhole is vertical but things aren't lined up and you have to turn the open lock back and forth to get it lined up properly. Also, you can't tell which way the key goes into the lock unless you've used it so many times that you learned the orientation by feel. I solved that by marking one side of the key and lock with a dot of fingernail polish so I don't have to guess each time I want to open.

The lock worked perfectly to secure my propane tanks on my RV. Beats cables.

Small enough not to be pry able open thick enough not to be easily cut with bolt cutters. I use it to lock down my propane tanks on the RV.

The lock got stuck (wouldn't open) after a few times of playing around with it.
I must have spent a 2-3 hours fidgeting with the keys until i got my hands on some "all purpose oil".
TIP: - The keys needs to rotate 180 degree to open all the mechanism
- Lube it up (that's what she said!)

I bought this lock to use in conjunction with some heavy duty braided cables to lock up my kayaks while in storage and in transit. This lock is easy to operate, locks securely and is vinyl coated to prevent scratching. The key hole is on the bottom which is supposed to make it more tamper/break resistant. I am not a lock expert so I cannot attest to that claim, I just find it easy to get the key in and operate the lock.
The size of this lock is perfect to loop both sides of the braided cable through and also lock it to the tie down in my truck. I wouldn't haul any of my toys (mountain bike, atv, kayak) without using this for a little piece of mind.

This lock is excellent for securing firearms against discharge. On most revolvers and self-loaders, it can be fit snugly within the trigger guard and behind the trigger; at that point, the trigger cannot be pulled. (And if trigger pull is prevented, hammers can't be cocked or slides racked.) An option for a revolver would be to open the cylinder and run the shank through the frame. Depending on the size of the firearms, the lock can disable two or even three at once.
Many widely advertised trigger locks (including Master locks) can be defeated in literally seconds by a 10-year-old with a penknife, and the cheap cable locks some manufacturers supply can be snipped with bolt cutters. Removal of this U-lock, however, would take considerable time and labor with a file. There's also plenty of space for running a serious cable if you want to secure your guns together or tether a gun to a car seat.
The non-scratching shank seems to be just the right diameter. It fits the trigger guards of long guns, too, as well as the guards of pocket pistols like the Beretta 21 and Ruger LCP.
Of course, you should unload your firearm before locking it, store your...

This lock is great and seems solid and a good deal. I wanted an all black one but they showed out of stock so I bought this yellow contractor one. The all black one showed up at my door. I'm thrilled but if I were to have wanted the item as it was described I would not be happy. This is the first time I've had an item that shipped by Amazon be not as described. Not sure what went wrong but in this rare instance getting the wrong item made the customer happier. They need to fix the glitch though.
