OnGuard Beast 5016L Bicycle Chain Lock Review

This is one BIG MEAN chain and lock! I'm actually using it to secure a generator because we've had so many stolen in my area. The thieves just use bolt or cable cutters to easily cut through regular chain or cable.
I feel pretty confident that even if they could cut through this chain/lock, it would take way too much time and not worth the effort; there's much easier targets.
For the reviewer who rated this only 1 star because it's so massive: the item description says how big the chain links are and also that it weighs 20+ pounds. They got exactly what they ordered. He also indicated it's too big for a bike, but I know a couple people who use it for their bikes and they're happy with it; in fact they're the ones told me to get it for my generator.

OnGuard Mastiff Bike Chain Lock 5022D Review

This chain is heavy, solid, and functional. The lock isn't the best because it can be somewhat difficult to lock while holding it through two chain links (Because of the circular design, the lock mechanism rotates and "hides" inside the lock" so you can't thread it through the links until you are closing it). The chain length is a bit short, it will go through your front wheel and frame next to a rail, but don't expect to be wrapping any tree trunks or more than one bike with this chain. Overall I am happy with the chain lock because it deters thieves and I feel safe knowing my bike is locked up with this hunk of metal over some dinky cable lock.

This lock may in fact be perfect, but certainly not perfect for every one. I for example am a fairly large man who lives in Oaklands famous Killing Zone, where people hesitate to walk around at dusk and most windows have bars and bike theft is the mildest of concerns residents have. So for me carrying a 11lb chain is price worth paying to keep my bike safe, I also use it on my motorcycle.
This chain is a pain at first, it forces you to struggle up the huge hills in the bay area, though now I dare say im in phenomenal shape, and when I do ride with out it I feel superhuman.
If a smaller woman or lesser man tried to carry this chain then they had better take it slow and be ready to have their body crumble under the weight.
The choice for many people with expensive road bikes boils down to this.
1.Think about the endless quest to shave off 40 grams from your sweet Carbon fiber bike, you know the one you wont put stickers on because of weight issues.
2.Now think about doubling the overall weight of the bike and looking like a douche with a giant chain around their shoulder drapped across the even douchier spandex jersey.
2.Now think about your bike being stolen and traded amongst crackheads.
The choice is clear.
