A larger version of the fahgettaboudit U lock is the New York Lock M-18WL. It is shown in the Powersports section of the Kryptonite web site. BTW I weighed one and it is 6 pounds. Even the fahgettaboudit is over 4 pounds.
Thanks for the link. The Street Cuffs that I have are connected by a single chain link that is 2 inches long by 1 inch thick, and both ends swivel. Someone in the link posts a review that they tested and broke a pair of Street Cuffs with slight pressure. They mentioned they were going to video the test, but the lock broke before they could set up the camera. Usually....you set up your camera first if you're planning to video something.
I have two Kryptonite chain locks, and I have Street Cuffs. IMO, the Street Cuffs are just as durable as the Kryptonite locks.
