Masterlock bike locks opinion?

    B&Q are stocking these shackles with a gold sold secure rating for 33 euro. Is it worth picking up one of these? Are they half decent? For a gold rating it seems quite cheap. I just took a quick pic of one there in the store with my phone.

    Thanks

    If it has the sold secure gold rating then it's a good lock, great price too, havent seen a gold rated lock under 60 yoyos anywhere

    It states clearly on the box that it has a gold rating. Could get two of these for the price of one Kryptonite evolution which is also a gold rating.
    For 33 euro its surely worth buying even as a secondary lock.

    B&Q liffey Valley, there was 6 or 7 left when I was up there this morning buying a few bits n bobs.

    I going to buy this lock until I seen the reviews. Lots of people had problems with the key sticking and not working at all after a few months. Probably best avoided.
