Hello,
I'm new to this forum, but I've been following the discussion about the Ottolock with interest. Someone mentioned a tough-to-cut rope, and it reminded me of a German-made lock that I came across recently.
It's called the Tex Lock and it seems to be a multi-layered cable made of fabric and other materials with a mini-U lock for securing the ends. I don't know how much it weighs, but I sent the company an email in order to get that information. Apparently it is brand new and (possibly) fairly tough, but not yet available in the U.S.
Is anyone familiar with this lock?
