Yes, Abus makes well designed locks. However, Abus locks are difficult to find in the USA. In the May test, there was a clear winner. It was Kryptonite. The editors said "The Fahgettaboudit Mini is the stiffest, toughest lock we've ever put to the sword..."

The Fahgettaboudit is simply NOT gonna get broken using the manual tools typically used by crooks. Breaking the Fahgettaboudit will require noisy power tools, which, obviously, will open any lock. Luckily, even in crime capitals such as Houston, the use of high powered cutting tools to steal a bike is very rare.
