I purchased this lock not for luggage but for use on a hard sided toolbox used to hold for transport an expensive & heavy lens. My concern was not to have a lock to prevent theft as I figure someone would just take the toolbox (but I suppose that would apply to luggage too), although it might be of value if left in a motel room, keeping the honest from peering in out of curiosity and then being tempted. Because the latch of the toolbox is almost too easy to open I wanted a backup or fail-safe way to protect the lens should the latch catch on something or not be closed all the way, inadvertently opening. Because I could never find the exact dimension of the closed lock, from the top of the lock to the apex of the cable, I wasn't 100% sure this lock would work for my purposes. FWIW: That dimension is 1 & 1/2 inches (1.5 inches). The diameter of the metal end of the cable shank which inserts into the lock is 1/8 inch (also a dimension I wasn't sure of), the cable obviously being slightly smaller in diameter. I drilled a hole slightly larger than 1/8" (9/64") through a tab on the box to be able to store the lock when not used as a safe-guard, as well as making a second locking position. All this can be seen in the photographs plus one image shows what the back of the lock looks like.The lock feels hefty, weighty; having a rock solid feel. When the cable shank is engaged in the lock there is a positive feel with an audible click so you know it's securely engaged. Like: 1) there is no key to fumble with, keep track of, etc.; 2) when set on the selected combination, a push of the button which protrudes on one side allows the cable to literally pop open; and 3) the flexibility of cable allows options for use that a lock with a solid metal shackle or shank couldn't offer. Can use this lock easily in the dark if necessary just by squeezing on the protruding button to pop it open (when combination is set).
