Tools and Hardware Reviews of Master Lock 8428D Python Adjustable Locking Cable, Braided Steel, 6-Foot
Customer Review: 10 years before breaking down...
Summary: 4 Stars
i got great use out of this lock. its very versatile for locking one or two bikes to any object, and long enough to loop through the front and back wheels of both bikes too. i always used this cable lock in tandem with a U-lock and never had my bikes stolen (and i have lived in new york city for more than 10 years). you could also use it without the U-lock if you are locking your bikes for a short period of time. but beware, if you don't use a U-lock then don't count on this lock to keep your bikes 100% safe, its more of an added deterrent and for locking the front wheels... the only reason i didn't give this lock a 5-star rating was that after about 10 years the cable started slipping when the key was set to the 'lock' position, and i wasn't pulling all that hard, so i had to toss it.Customer Review: Great lock for tying up kayaks!
Summary: 5 Stars
My kids and I share two sit-on-top kayaks that have portage holes for drainage. While I'm a trustful person, I often hear of kayaks being stolen...and I don't want to take my chances when the kayaks are not in my sight.
I purchased the 8' version of Master Lock's Python cable lock (8428KADPF) and have been nothing but impressed with it. The lock easily slips through the portage holes of both kayaks and locks up nicely (either locking the kayaks to each other or to a solid object on land). This has given us a tremendous sense of security when visiting stores or restaurants when not on water.
While I had been considering another lock from Kryptonite, I trust the Master Lock brand and feel that this was a terrific purchase for my needs. I recommend it highly.
Customer Review: Offers little protection
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased a slightly different model of this lock, and a few hours ago I discovered my bike had been stolen from the basement of my building. The cable was left behind, and upon inspecting it I discovered that the individual who took the bike had simply sawed through the cable with a hacksaw.
While this lock may be suitable for the short term security of your bike as you go somewhere to shop or get lunch, for long term storage it is clearly insufficient. The next lock I buy will be something more like a U lock made of heavy duty steel.
Customer Review: Perfect for Conceal and Carry owners
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a perfect solution for people who have to lock their handguns in their vehicle while they go into a store or bank and can not take it with them.. I have it attached to the chassis of the car through the bottom of the seat and thread the cable through the magazine well (revolver people could use the open cyl as well).. It is very heavy duty and rubberized to protect the finish. Great and innovative solution, plus quick accesss if needed in a hurry.Customer Review: Great bike lock, a bit bulky
Summary: 4 Stars
The design is definitely cool and it's easily adjustable with the lock/slider mechanism. Although it wraps up nice, the lock mechanism is big and bulky. It looks like it could take a few bullets which is good for securing your bike for sure, but it takes up a lot of space in a camelbak or other pack you wear while riding.
