    Very useful, lock my laptop to my desk

    posted by ecfbw on 02/22/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Very reasonable price. At retail stores, they usually sell for $20. The quality could be better but it very affordable and useful for its purpose. I can preset my own combo to the lock
    Cons:
    The quality of the metal does like cheap aluminum, so the metal could be better. But for the price, I think it is reasonable

    Stinkie little must have

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    This lock is okay for it's price. However the average cable length is rather short; about 1 meter. The cables I bought here in the Netherlands are usually twice the length. I like it that it has a combo lock instead of a key. Build quality is OK. Sure yo...
