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.

You and your angle grinder. The next thing we'll know is that you
lubricate it with WD40!

Of course he doesn't - WD40 is not a lubricant...! (ducks)

Sigh. The list gets longer every day.

Keep flies off cows

If flies are tormenting your cows, just spray some WD-40 on the cows.
Flies hate the smell and they'll stay clear. Take care not to spray
any WD-40 in the cows' eyes.

I thought this was all serious stuff till I read:

Relieve arthritis symptoms
For occasional joint pain or arthritis symptoms in the knees or other
areas of the body, advocates swear by spraying WD-40 on the affected
area and massaging it in, saying it provides temporary relief and makes
movement easier. For severe, persistent pain, consult a health care
professional.

I don't understand your skepticism. I would have expected that to be
reasonably effective. Of course, massaging the affected area without
WD40 would also work (unlike magnets/copper bands/etc)

Aha! It must be the ability of WD40 to penetrate stiff joints rather
than its lubrication properties - as I understand from here WD40 is not
a lubricant.
