Bosvision Heavy-Duty 4-Digit Combination Lock with 90 cm Cable (+Insert) for Bikes, Ski Equipment and Wheelchairs, black

I recommend this item for anyone who travels with luggage. The item itself is easy to work with. Not heavy, but sturdy. Setting up your numbers is straight forward. There are a few buttons to get the hang of, but it's easy. Besides the good quality of the product, why do I recommend this? I travel by train regularly, normally with a huge suitcase. Unfortunately you can't always keep your suitcase in eye shot when travelling by train, and even if you can, some person will still try to steal it, as happened with me. I was sat very close to my suitcase, and this person knew it was my suitcase... and yet still tried to walk off with it. The train stops, I'm reading a book, and as I look up to see the view, a thief is literally just about to step off the train with my suitcase. I jump up and corner him so he can't get off, whilst telling him loudly exactly what I thought of him as he looked very sheepish and embarrassed in front of the whole train, unable to get away. But it still upsets me now some very sentimental stuff was almost gone forever. Whilst not foolproof, it's a deterrent. I lock my suitcase to the luggage rack. I was and still am concerned with what staff may say but so far no problems. I've also heard some funny comments about it, but I couldn't care less. Not knowing who the suitcase belongs to, I've heard 'who on earth would lock their suitcase like that tut tut tut'. They soon shut up when I speak up and say 'you would do it too if you saw someone attempt to audaciously steal your stuff in front of you'. This is not for high risk stuff, and it won't turn your item into an impenetrable fortress, it's not designed for that. As I say, someone may try to steal your stuff regardless of this and if they are determined this won't stop them. But, for certain situations it may work as a deterrent or a surprise. It may turn off the opportunist.

Purchased this to stick in the bottom of my work rucksack for those quick lock ups at the shops when commuting. It is super lightweight and easy to use. Does the job perfectly for the quick stops where you are unsure about leaving the bike outside the supermarket. Only thing I would say is I am not sure how strong the cable actually is, it looks and feels like it could be easily cut through with croppers so might not be using this to lock the bike up for entire days out.

I bought this cable lock for when I ride and stop for a coffee so I don't leave the bike unatended . It is light enough to carry in my cycling jersey in the back pocket and it is easy to use. The cable locks easyly and the numbers in the combination are easy to operate even with gloves and easy to see as well. The pricing is good and it was delivered on time and safely. I am happy with the purchase but be aware, this is not a long term safery device, it is only good to stop someone getting on the bike and riding away with it. If you leave it unattended for too long it is not going to stop someone from stealing your bike as I guess the cable can be snapped with not much effort if the right tool is used.

Very good value for the price. Lightweight and seems to be sufficiently strong and secure for what I use it for: anchoring a bag to a cafe table to avoid casual theft when I get up to go back to the counter for a refill etc, or securing my bike when I leave it very briefly to go into a shop (provided it's not in a high-risk area: this Bosvision lock isn't intended to be high security.) It's easy to set and change the combination, and I've had no problems so far with any part of the mechanism. (The spring for retracting the cable is quite strong, so be careful to avoid injury with this.) I can't yet comment on long-term use, but if any problems arise I'll add to this post.

This is a useful piece of kit. It's well made and easy to carry and use. Fed up with carrying a heavy lock I bought it for 'cafe-stops' when out on bike club rides. It's just about ok for that but I would always use something more substantial if the bike were out of sight or in a 'tricky' area. However, for securing things like suitcases or anything left in a public area like train or bus luggage spaces it is perfect for deterring the opportunist thief. Keep it in your rucksack or even pocket - it's light and compact enough.

I'm not dissatisfied with this weedy lock. I bought it to have something extremely light and compact which fits in a small bag and gives me extra peace of mind if I stop at a café or shop for 5-15 minutes. So far it has filled that brief adequately. The mechanisms of the lock - dials, retracting cable button, unlock button - work well and give a positive user experience. It does feel like a single quick yank on the few-millimetre-thick wire would free your bike to an opportunistic criminal, though. A lock for those who dare to live dangerously.

All in all it worked and did a good job of keeping our stroller safe outside the rides while we were in Disneyland Paris BUT when we returned from one of the rides on our last day, our code suddenly would not work and the lock was stuck on our stroller wheel. As a last attempt before asking for help, we tried the standard code that the lock is set to when you receive it and that worked. Somehow it had reset itself. It did the job though, so I was pleased.

I bought this lock to secure our skis when we're having lunch up the mountain. The unit works very well and is easy to use. It's bigger than I expected (about the size of the palm of your hand), but fits neatly into a pocket and is flat enough in profile not to get in the way while you are skiing. What I particularly like is that you can set the length of the wire so there is no slack which makes it harder to remove items. It won't stop a determined thief but they will move on to someone else's equipment and nick that instead. A good item and value for money.

The only use for this lock that I can imagine is to lock your skis. Skis get stolen rarely in the US, but it happens, partly because of someone's mistake (e.g., one can grab a wrong pair of skis which look the same as theirs) and partly because of theft. The cable in ski locks is not very thick. It is more a theft deterrent than a theft protection. I am sure that my bicycle cable cutters would cut this cable in one second. However, it is unlikely that a ski thieves would bother carrying bulky cutters or would cut locks in public. They would grab a different pair of skis which are not locked. With this, the key characteristics of a ski lock becomes the length of the cable. I must say, the cable in this lock is on a relatively thick side, perhaps 1.5 mm thick. Cables in ski locks are notoriously short, and every extra inch counts. This lock is better in this sense (has a longer cable) than the other, smaller and lighter lock, that I have, as its cable is a good 4 if not 6 inches longer. It has a 4-digit combination which is nice, although, once again, if one can cut the cable with a proper tools in a second, why would one bother picking a combination? Three digits are as good as four. The downside is that it is a little too big. It fits into a ski jacket pocket, but takes most of it. Description of the lock suggests it as a lock also for bike, I do not know how that would work. When it comes to bikes, it is, basically, a zero security lock. It is not a defense against someone equipped to cut or break locks.

léger, d'utilisation facile, se range dans n'importe quel endroit, ce petit cadenas, sans prétention fait pourtant très bien le job, certes il ne résisterai pas très longtemps à un voleur déterminé, mais il empêche le vol du profiteur qui passe et, l'occasion faisant le larron, vous dérobe vos casques de moto en vous laissant sérieusement dans l'embarras. Je recommande sans hésitation.

Use this a a motorcycle helmet lock, works great.

Does it’s job

Si alguien quiere llevarse las tablas pues lo hará pero este producto es para prevenir y creo que cumple perfectamente su función: da para atar las tablas a algún sitio e incluso para un par de tablas y estar tranquilo. No pesa nada. He comprado varios para los que hemos ido a esquiar y todos contentos. el tamaño es suficiente para unas tablas y bastones e incluso para poner un casco. Por supuesto que con alguna herramienta pues podrías romperlo fácilmente, pero para los chorizos puntuales pues es suficiente
