It is heavy duty, and I would commend anyone that was able to steal my bike when it is locked up with this. If you are worried about security, this is the way to go. If you want something compact and light, this is the wrong lock to buy. I park on a college campus everyday, and I have absolutely no fear when I lock my bike up and go to class. I love the lock, and would purchase it again. It comes with 5 keys, and locks very smoothly. I definitely recommend this lock.
Good Lock for Your Money

Reviewer: L. Lu,
This lock isn't that bad at all. It's very tough and seems like it can last for quite some time with proper care. It's a lock that if you're careful with making sure the key is fully inserted before turning and not forcing the key, it'll do its job just fine. And from sources that I've read before, if the key mechanism jamming becomes unbearable, then some oil in the keyhole should do. As for the mount, there have been a few complaints about it not holding up to the weight of the lock and I think this as true even though I've yet to test it out because the lock is not light lock. The lock is heavy but I'd rather carry this thing around than lose a bike. Some people might go for the Kryptonite New York, which I believe is a pound lighter (oo ah, right? not), this lock is cheaper but just as strong if not stronger according to various lock tests ran by independent testers. If anything, I'm hoping the "heavy" weight will deter thieves from even trying and just move on to an easier target. Also, after placing an order for this lock, I noticed that the lock that Amazon displayed was different from the one displayed on OnGuard's site. It turns out the one on OnGuard is a newer, improved model. Fortunately, when the package arrived, the lock was the newer model so that was a plus. If anyone's curious, the newer model boasts a larger and thicker shackle along with a four-way locking mechanism (see on OnGuard's site) and some other little improvements. Overall, this lock is a very good lock for the price just as long as you be careful with it and not treat it like some trash. Shipping was also very prompt (faster than estimated as a matter of fact) so that was good. Now all I need is a good cable to secure the front wheel and seat...
Locked in a great price at Amazon

The OnGuard Brute STD 5001 bicycle U-lock is a theft spoiler. It locks securely, but opens smoothly with the key. In NYC, bicyclists either use a lock such as this or face a very high risk of bicycle theft. This lock is highly recommended.
great product

very solid U lock with just enough space. It is not very heavy and the holder does a good job of not dropping it but it does wiggle a bit, nothing some velcro cannot fix. Very intimidating lock.

Reviewer: Philip Song,
great lock. i feel very secure with it. the only problem/complaint would be that it is a bit too big for my use. i generally use it to lock my back wheel and frame, and there is a bit of left over room after i lock it. regardless, it is a lock i enjoy very much
