That looks really promising but for some reason the link does not work for me, try--> Clicky

Looks very good, obviously no match for an angle grinder, but then neither is a chain/padlock.

Nice bit of free advertising

You cant buy them yet, just back the project with estimated Aug 15 delivery.As with any project on kickstarter you could lose all your money if the project goes belly up.
Not much lighter than:

and only an 'in-house' gold rating.

Not cheap at £80 each though and still weighs close to 1kg.
Still, nice to see new designs being thought up and brought to market.

Looks interesting, not sure I'd spend £80 on one though.

Given that they need 20k to get started and have already raised £75k, I don't think they need me! Just like the look of it.

Apologies for link...... will update.

£20k required and £75k achieved in 5 days with a 35 day window? I'm fairly certain that it'll come to market. Not concerned about my £160 and happy to wait until August.

Agreed, that it's good to see new innovation coming to the market.

Fair enough. For me it looks like a good, premium product. Lightweight and strong. I don't believe anything is 100% tea leaf proof, but if this product is as secure as anything else on the market, and is lighter, that's good enough for me to invest. Good luck to the team behind it.
