Default ONGUARD Akita Cable Lock - 3/4" Thick! = Junk, pics inside

this is where i bought it, it was 59 bucks i got the 3/4" by 6' long version (the biggest one...


Cycle Gear - ONGUARD: Akita Cable Lock, 5036


they told me it was the safest lock they had, it couldn't be picked and you would need a plasma torch to cut it off the bike

well tonight i go to the casino to whoop ass at the poker table (and i did) i come out to the parking garage, go to unlock my 5 month old lock and the laser cut key brakes off inside the lock, just right to where there is now way to get it out or turn it to unlock it... luckly they had a locksmith that works at the hard rock hotel but he couldn't get it to unlock..

so then they gave me a 18v dewalt sawsaw with an all purpose blade and told me they can't destroy my property. i figured i would give it shot even thought cycle gear said only a plasma torch would cut though it.

i cut though the lock in like 3-4 mins and i wasn't trying to rush it just ate though it like it was made of wood, i have had a harder time cutting though thinner master locks..

tomorrow i will be at cycle gear and they better have a refund or tell me who to talk to about this cause its bullshit... i buy alot of shit from them and they have always been cool with me returning shit.... to be continued

So your going to believe what a sales guy tell you? Good luck with the refund. No really. If they do it more power to you.
