Only one make successfully resists attack for very long - Almax.
All the others are ****.

Crikey, you're right - look at the videos on
www.almax-security-chains.co.uk/index.asp?pg=19

£150 Abus Thatcham Approved blah blah Chain, cropped with simple
bolt-cutters in 25 seconds.

WTF is that all about? Granted he used a big FO pair of croppers,
but surely the video is meant to demonstrate that the product
survives for a minimum 5 mins?

Anywho, an angle grinder would have taken that out in half the
time. I removed the wire rope type lock from an adandoned bike in
around
3 seconds with my trusty angle grinder a few weeks ago.


I so don't think so

The links are thicker than dennis

Don't forget, one doesn't usually park a bike close to a mains
socket, an Almax chain would tell a battery angle grinder to ****
off and play elsewhere

It didn't tell those bolt croppers to **** off did it?



Err yes it did IIRC

The 'Granite' video is presented by a bird who claims its Thatcham Approved
5 Minute Tested & the geezer bolt cropped it in 25 seconds. £135? Bugger
that.

Angle grinder would have taken it out in half the time. Send me one, I'll
video it & post it on Youtube.

What I don't understand is why Almax have a video claiming their product
withstands attack for 5 mins, then shows it being shagged in 25 seconds.
