I made these Stainless Steel interlocks attached to 10' case hardened chain.

That is super interesting. Any plans to offer something like that for sale?

I bet your chain and fittings are stronger than the mechanism inside the lock!

So true, with battery operated grinders nothing is safe anymore.

I use gear guard as security theater. I have no misconceived notions that the thin cable will protect against anyone who really wants to grab my bikes or whatever is in the bed. In fact, I bet someone who pulls hard enough could yank the cable gear guard module straight out of the bed lining.

But it does visibly show stuff is "secured" and can effectively deter opportunistic kids. Which is fine by me.

I'd love to have a beefier cable/chain like OP has made, if anything for the greater visibility.

that said, this chain is pretty cool. I hope they decide to release it as a product.

He hid it on the front page of his website.
It's $269.

Super cool, great idea!!

Name of game is deterrence, never been about theft-proofing (nothing ever is/was). This would take way longer to cut through than the factory cable. And that may be enough reason for some thieves to turn their attention to easier prey.

I like the idea but it is too short and way too expensive for me.
