Thanks for posting this video. It convinced me that this is the lock I need! How many thieves are going to own and carry around a nut-splitter? Angle grinder yes, even bolt cutters but not a nut-splitter. Abus Bordo locks are not that common in Toronto, so the likelihood that a bicycle thief even owns this tool is too small for me to even care. There isn't a lock in this world that cannot be penetrated in some way so videos like this are a poor way to try and prove a point. Even the Kryptonite New York locks can be compromised, you just need to make your bike harder to steal than the one beside it.
By his name, my guess the OP is in Calgary where Bordo locks are not common so I think it is still a good lock. Also looked at the Cube E-Bikes and I am even more convinced that the mini New York lock will not fit around everything he/she needs to protect their bike.
