$40 Chain vs $1 Hacksaw
“Hey! Let’s go downtown and grab a bite to eat.
I have my awesome two-month old lock so I’ll just lock both of our bikes up with it.
Oh! Great… my key is stuck (first disappointment).. Hm.. there’s absolutely no way to get it out. It is 100% officially stuck.
Well… should we cut the lock? Are we going to be able to even cut it? We don’t have a hacksaw.. or a Rotozip or something of the sort.
Let’s go see what the make-shift Zeller’s on Sparks St has. Well… it’s confirmed that they have the worst hardware section ever (not surprising).
Lo and behold, though, they have a shady $1.00 hacksaw! Huge.
Let’s go and see if we can at least cut through the vinyl wrap around the actual metal coil.
4 minutes later…
Wow we just hacked through a $40 bicycle lock in less than 5 minutes with a $1 hacksaw. That makes me feel great.
Screw you OnGuardLock. Not only will they be getting a strong-worded letter expressing disappointing that a two month old lock seized up, I want a new lock.
Punks.
Word. Life.
