OnGuard PitBull MINI LS 5007 Bicycle U-Lock Review

First the good. This is definitely a solid lock, and I like that the metal is covered by a rubber coating to protect bike finish. I also like that they give you 5 keys, one of which has an LED in it. It is also long enough to fit on most bike racks, but would be nicer if it was a bit wider.
And the bad. My biggest problem is with the lock/unlock mechanism. First, the metal U must be pushed into the base *just so* in order to be able to lock it. It usually takes me a few seconds to get it right. Also, you can not pull the key out of the lock when the key is turned to unlock - you much turn the key back to lock before pulling it out. The mount attaches to the bike via a strap with a one-way ratchet. I could not use this because the lock was too big to fit anywhere on my bike (it is a smaller frame though, 17")

Bottom line: I could overlook all the other shortcomings if the locking mechanism just worked better. But it doesn't. If you can get it cheap and don't mind the hassle, then maybe it'd be worth it.
