seems pretty much the exact same thing. should i go for the cheaper one?
The kryptonite shackle opening is about 1/2" longer while the OnGuard shackle opening is a bit wider. To me the choice comes down to whether you need the additional length of the Kryptonite or not, so is dependent on your locking situation.
