I was considering the Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit U-lock, but the thing is tiny/ I just wonder if if the New York Lock STD is as tough to break as the chain+lock.
Thanks again.
The Kryptonite NY M-18WL lock uses the same 18mm diameter and material shackle as the NY Fahgettaboudit but is listed as having interior dimensions of 4" x 10.25". I would think the high grade hardened alloy of any of the Kryptonite NY locks would be harder to cut than a hardened chain due to the larger diameter.
