Description of ABUS 12KS Security Chain Sleeve

Premium Quality: Our security chains are made of hardened steel with a special anti-corrosion coating which makes them ideal for outdoor use. Each link has a thickness of 1/2", inside height of 2 1/4" and inside width of 3/4".This chain requires 10 tons of cutting force to break through the hardened steel. Theft Deterrence: Our chain cannot be compromised by typical aggressive burglary attacks. Each individual link is unique in that the shape is squared rather than round. The squared link construction makes it almost impossible for theft tools to get a secure grip on the chain to cut. The thick hardened steel is extra resistant to sawing and the welded finish makes prying insurmountable. Secure Anything: ABUS square link security chains are utilized by both industrial and consumer users. Our customers trust this chain to secure their commercial/residential properties, containers, bikes, gates, fences, trailers, ATV’s, motorcycles and much more. Scratch Resistant: Traditional security chains expose your items/property to potential damages and scratches when in use. ABUS security chains feature a nylon sleeve to protect your property from scratches and damages while in use. Synonymous with Security: ABUS has been manufacturing and innovating security technology since 1924. When it comes to protecting lives and valuables, ABUS provides security solutions to help you feel safe and secure.

Very strong chain, no sharp cuts at the tank stop

Very strong chain and good construction. The side link is slightly larger so three opposite links can be connected. This allowed me to connect two chains when using them with my bike rack. I had one chain around the bikes and the second chain connected to my hitch.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some cons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not too heavy and not too light

When they cut that chain, they have a crusher and they're pros who get your stuff anyway. The bolt cutters won't go through 14 KS, it's massive. The 12KS is still HEAVY but can be carried in the trunk of my motorcycle. To protect the motorcycle with the ABUS granite lock.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Mostly ok, but...

Great security but very heavy!

Great Safety Chain! There is no other way to cut this than with an angle grinder which makes a lot of noise and time. I paired this with an Abus Granite lock to make it blast proof. ATTENTION, this chain is very heavy! For the next size I could do with a smaller diameter.

Pros
  • Decent Performance
Cons
  • Repair

Much heavier than I expected

We secured the chain to the ground with 100 pounds of concrete under the floor of our new garage so we could tie our ATV to it. The chain is much heavier and the links are larger than I expected. Very happy with the quality and ease of use of the ABUS 92/80 lock, making it a great combination.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Does not fit all

Wrong item no reply great chain buy elsewhere

I ordered this chain it clearly says 6ft long. I received a 2 foot chain. The chain is great, I had to settle for a 2ft chain but they do not respond to my emails or product complaints. Buy this necklace but make sure you buy it from someone else. Accidents happen from time to time, but the buyer does not have to search for the right product.

Pros
  • Free for education
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Massive, real security

The chain is just monstrous. The average thief lugging around a set of 36-inch port bolt cutters or smaller will aim for an easier-to-reach bike. I watched a video before buying or a locksmith used the best 42 inch bolt cutters on the market and it took me over 5 minutes to break the chain on one side. Due to the hardness of the chain, 2 cuts are required. We shoot the same video with a 4 inch grinder. About 50 seconds for each cut. That's about as good as any chain or U-lock.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Huge, strong and can anchor a boat

This chain has huge links. I didn't read carefully enough about my desire for a strong chain to secure my bike to a hitch rack or overnight stay. This thing weighs so much that I'm worried it will damage my bike's carbon frame. I don't see how you can carve this with bolt cutters. This requires an angle grinder or a cutter. I'm not disappointed but I should have been more careful as this is way beyond what I need. This has nothing to do with the chain. That's very pleasant.

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Very good chain but not 1/2 inch thick.

This is a very good chain, the links are hardened, the welds look very good and the nylon cover looks strong enough to last a while. My problem with this chain is that mine is not 1/2 inch as listed. Maybe it's 1/2 inch if you measure it on the welded part of the chain, but the links themselves aren't. Actually, my peweg 7/16" safety chain is a hair thicker than this Abus chain. I really needed the 1/2" thick chain or I would have kept it for myself. I have attached some photos of this Abus…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Compatibility
