🔌 Lewis and Clark Heavy-Duty Cable Review

Having used TSA approved cable locks on several bags over the years - with varying results in terms of strength - I was impressed when I saw cable lock travel companion bags with much heavier cables and large sizes . drum dials. I wrote down the brand, found it online and bought a few after my trip. I've used them for carry-on and checked luggage since then, including my hard shell golf suitcase, and they've endured the kind of abuse only airlines can match. These travel locks are premium…

This lock is a simple and affordable way to prevent someone other than a searcher from rummaging through your luggage when you travel. I love how easy it is to reset the lock to use my own combination. I pick the lock with its current combination of three from zero to nine, turn the shackle in the opposite direction, push it down and rotate it a quarter circle to align with the number repeater, and set whatever combination of numbers I want. . I can set the combination as often as I want. The…

I fixed it and was able to set my own combination. My conclusion is: set the new combination digit by digit…

For those who don't know, you don't need to lock your luggage with a lock when you check your bags at the airport, but if you do, you must have a TSA-approved one be lock.

This model seems to be the strongest of all the road locks I've used. There is no play in the mechanism like other cheaper locks. Around the outside of the numbered wheels…

Giving 5 stars ('I like it') to a travel lock seems odd - how much can a person 'like' a travel lock? - but this one ticks all the boxes. I wash zippers fairly quickly, mainly because they disappear when not in use (they disappear where my socks are in the dryer, I guess), so I've used a bunch from multiple sources over the past few years.
