PacsafePacsafe Prosafe 1000 TSA Combination Lock - Black

Pacsafe is a well know brand name for the travel security products. Sometimes they're excellent (Prosafe 800 or 310) , sometimes they're rubbish (Prosafe 900). This one is somewhere in between, but leaning towards excellent. Let's start with the size - 75mm including the shackle / 49mm body only x 33mm x 20mm, with the 3.9mm shackle. So, not small at all, as the previous review says. Now this may be due to a clever design by Pacsafe, but it is much lighter than one would expect of a padlock of that size - only 75g. I have smaller padlocks that weigh more.So, that doesn't instill confidence of security, or even sturdiness required to survive the airport luggage handlers. Having said all that, although only time and real life testing will tell, I have a feeling that it will do the job. Which, in my case, is mainly to stop the opportunistic thieves wherever they are, hotels, airports, etc, where they just unzip, grab and move on. A determined thief, with plenty of time, cannot be stopped by anything.Otherwise, I like the nice large numbers that I can see without the glasses and an unusual unlocking mechanism (one has to press a button to unlock, after setting the combination - this means that even if you forget to scramble the dial, the lock will stay in place).The four stars is only due to the lack of the warm feeling of security that a heavy padlock would give...

Brilliant! So easy to set your own 3-digit code, really sturdy-feeling padlock for what I want to use it for which is through the hole on the Roobar lock on my Pacsafe Vibe 25 litre rucksack - I have to transport confidential paperwork and audio recordings, so I feel I've got the best system now!

These are very good. A bit bigger than they look in the Picture, and therefore Heavy but sturdy.
