Some said it is easy to pull the end of the cable out of the lock. I bought a lock and tried to yank the end out, but failed. Others said the cable could be easily cut. I used a pair of sewing scissors and was able to cut the cable in a couple of seconds. In our view, this lock is not a cool tool. We are unrecommending it and have recategorized it as a &#8220;dead tool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Let this also be an open invitation to share your experience with anything reviewed on Cool Tools.
