Master Lock Street Cuffs  The
design is based on Standard issue Police HAND CUFFS. Built with two locking
cuffs of adjustable diameter and a
ratchet locking mechanism which allows for a snug fit around any size bike
tube, plus lets you connect to fixed objects with a variety of shapes.
Handcuffs, but for your bike. The cost is
circa £60 (B&Q) in the UK for the model 8200. The makers say these cuffs are
virtually impossible to cut because they fit snugly, leaving no room for pry
bars. (See lower down for an independent test report.)
A 10 pin tubular cylinder is fitted.
The link that connects the two cuffs in the Model 8200 (shown left) has a pivoting action that should prevent the use of levers to crack them apart. The 'cuffs' fold in half to store and a carrying bracket for a bike is sold separately. General Features: •Compact and lightweight. Will fit
into cargo areas ON TEST The British Consumer Magazine WHICH?
(May 04) stating that the Model 8200 were a good head turning design (true) and
resistant to picking but they found them to be susceptible to more serious
attack. They went on to say how six samples only stood up to most tools for a
few minutes. A seventh sample lasted three minutes before giving in. They found
the steel to be over hardened meaning they would snap easily. On a good not they
survived the corrosion and drop tests with flying colours. The makers are
offering a free exchange to anyone who has purchased one in the UK - 01638
668245 for details. Would be buy a pair ............................... they do look good, but no, probably not. There are better bits of kit around.
