I’d say Consumer Reports and NYT wire cutter are pretty objective…
Their bigger issue is that company quality doesn’t change much from year to year, so the pans that were good in 2019 are probably still good now, which is boring.
- loloquwowndueo 3y agoWire cutter is hardly objective - check out their bike lock reviews. Every single recommended product is from Kryptonite.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 3y agoOn youtube there are videos from an expert lockpicker, I can't remember the name, where he goes on lockpicking kryptonite locks. He explains in great detail what he expected more from the high end, but his recommendation by the end was still a kryptonite lock, not necessary the ultimate, and said that unless you are ready to lose the bike, unless it's in sight, there is very little you can do. And with an angle grinder you are doomed either way
- loloquwowndueo 3y agoThat would be the Lockpicking Lawyer.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 3y agoThat's the one indeed!
- im_down_w_otp 3y agoTo be fair, most of the alternatives are garbage, but also most of Kryptonite’s own products are garbage. There are ~3 worthwhile bike locks on the market. 2 of them are made by Kryptonite. The rest provide the same value as the TSA. Mostly theatrical.
