Average Customer Review: 
Summary: Cheap but no durable.
Date: 2008-11-23 - 
Comment: It rusts easily and the plastic cover is so loose that it often cover the key hole.
Recommend more expensive lock if you have more budget.
Summary: Do yourself a favor and buy something else

Comment: I'm on Amazon to return this product right now. The key is very fickle -- I can only get the darn thing unlocked 1 out of 20 turns of the key. There might be a trick to it, but I don't know what it is. Also, as far as I can tell from reviews (that I should have read), these things do not keep your bike safe!
Summary: Not great

Comment: I bought this lock at Walmart a while ago to lock up my bike on a University campus and around. I didn't get my bike stolen like some of the other unfortunate reviewers (probably because my bike just wasn't worth it), but I do still have some complaints.
First of all, I didn't want to use the bulky LED key, so I used the thinner one. This was a mistake. After about a year of use, the lock became rusted and stiff, and after a few months of having to push the key hard and jiggle it to turn the lock, the key casing just broke right off: it's not metal all the way through, and the "head" is just plastic. So, I not only had a really hard time turning the key without a head, but I had no way of securing the key to a keyring. Long story short, it's a miracle I didn't lose this stub of a key for the remaining 6 months of use, and it was a major pain besides.
If you have a cheap bike or live in a low-crime area, get a better cable lock for the same price. If you have a nice bike, buy a better lock.
Summary: Terrible

Comment: I have no idea how this lock has any stars. The only thing it has to offer is that it is cheap. My bike was stolen right off my balcony in the middle of the day, while I was out doing some community service of all things. You might as well put a sign on your bike that says "steal me" if you use the bell lock. Once I get a new bike, I'm going to get a Kryptonite.
Summary: Great lock, good price!

Comment: I bought this lock for my bike, and I am very happy with it. It is big enough to lock my front tire and my frame (but not the back tire). I like that it comes with an extra key as I am prone to losing things. The lock also comes with everything you need to mount the lock on your bike frame.
