The TiGR Gets Spanked In Recent Men's Journal Tests
A recent discussion in the Touring subforum (Light but still good lock, Post #57 / dated 4-14-13 by rekmeyata) Shows the link to the Men's Journal article (sorry folks, but my linky foo is weak).

Basically it seems that there is a LARGE difference in attack outcomes from the inhouse tests done by the creator/marketer of the TiGR, and Men's Journal results. MOST concerning is the vulnerability to 24 inch boltcutters AND (GASP!!) HACKSAW!!!. Enter; Torture Test: Bike Locks, in the Men's Journal search field to see the complete article.
