Product Description
When tough isn’t enough. Admit it. The world is getting smarter, including thieves. Fight back with the Street Cuff. Without a fixed anchor point for leverage and virtually no space for jacks, there just isn’t an easy way to defeat these cuffs. For added convenience, they fold in half for easy storage. Master Lock’s pivot link allows Cuff to be easily manipulated around both the bicycle and the immovable object it is locked to. Heat-treated laminated steel is tough to cut. Ratchet Locking provides a snug fit, denying room for pry bars and jacks. Patented keyway highly resistant to both picking and drilling. Push Button Locking; the key is not required to lock the cuff. Pliable soft touch bumpers protect the bicycle finish.

Don't believe the hype. Its a fine lock. August 10, 2010

The bic pen thing.. you've read about it. You've seen people on youtube open a lock with a pen cap. Truth is, sure, it can be done but not usually as easily as some make it seem. It can take for ever to do it, and you can't really perfect it, because your pen gets mangled each time and each lock is a touch different.
One of the first things I do when I get a lock is get out my picks (pro and home made) and go at it. Sometimes (as in this case) I bought it almost for the sole purpose of defeating it. First, the bic pen. Ok, firstly, I couldn't find a bic pen, at work, at home or at my neighbors house, so I went out and bought a pack. That defeats one of the first T rules, "tools". When I got the bic pen home, I found it did pretty well fit on the lock cylinder ALL other pens did NOT fit at all. I've opened old u-locks and "the club" with a bic pen, but this thing, just wouldn't go. I believe the dead pins actually lock the cylinder when pushed in that far (there are 4 dead pins at 10 2 4 and 8 o'clock, pretty sure). I did get some pins to set (i heard them snap back when I removed tension) but could not get it to open. That defeats the second T... "Time". What area do you live in where you can have someone going at your bike for 10 minutes without someone asking a question. Wherever that is, forget about it, your stuff's getting stolen. So, I broke out the pick set. I am sure I will get this open, I've opened every lock I've owned and quite a few others, but this one is being a pain. It'll probably be easier once its broken in and operating more smoothly. I do have the talent. Done it before; but couldn't easily get into it. The third T, Talent, iffy.. but kinda not a thing. So, its secure from the lock point of view. Well, at least as secure as every lock on the market to include the precious NY lock thing.
Another point on the lock picking. Used it to secure my motorcycle. The lock cylinders were facing the motorcycle and would not be pickable with picks and rough with a bic pen if it would work. The picks would be VERY tough without a clamp/vise to hold them. I used my toes and got tired of holding it.
As for the durability of it. Pretty sure a 2.5lb hammer would take the chain off the cuff with several, really well placed wacks with a good solid something to leverage against, but I'm making assumptions on what the properties of the metal in the cuffs are. This would in turn destroy any bike frame, but might be doable on a solid motorcycle part. It wouldn't open the cuffs. They're not opening shy of cutting or lock picking.
The links themselves have a spacer wedged into them to prevent using a screwdriver or similar to pop the links apart; which would be hard to do anyway, small hole big heavy link and rivet.
Given my garage/workshop, I could be into these things fairly easily, but it would be fairly noisy.
Given them attached to something valuable on the street, I'd be trying to get the bike rack or whatever apart before I tried dealing with these.
 Seems to work fine so far June 7, 2010

I recently bought a Goped ESR750EX, SLA for work purposes.
As this is an electric scooter, the normal U-locks aren't very optimal. Similarly steel cables are less than ideal.
Given that the scooter is over $1000 new, security is an issue.
This handcuff style lock works great though - I am able to lock one cuff over the central support column and another around either bike-style racks or parking meters/posts.
So far, so good.
 Seems strong. But the plastic is junk. April 26, 2010
The lock is definately sturdy albeit quite heavy. The plastic body that wraps the metal isn't durable. Mine is already breaking off and I only used it once. Needless to say, I am not impressed with how long that part lasted. I will probably end up breaking it off and just continue using the lock without it. Other than that I would expect that it will protect my bike. After all, I could only give a full review if someone actually tried to steal my bike.
 lock is a joke! October 1, 2009

Had this lock on my bike, forgot it was there, drove off with it on and it broke. No damage to my bike, this would not stop anything.
Cool Cuffs March 11, 2009

My husband and I really like these cuffs for locking up our motorcycles when we are out and about. Just a little extra safety measure to keep our bikes where we left them! I also let my daughter use one for her bicycle when she rode to school and she thought it worked well, and got lots of comments from classmates who though the lock was cool looking!
