## Overview

The ABUS Hardened Steel 10KS Chain is a 10-foot, 3/8" thick security chain crafted from square-shaped hardened steel links with an anti-corrosion coating, designed to resist aggressive cutting attacks. Weighing 14 pounds and featuring a protective nylon sleeve, it offers superior protection for bikes, motorcycles, trailers, and industrial equipment. Trusted since 1924, ABUS delivers professional-grade security solutions that combine durability, weather resistance, and cutting-edge design.

## Description

Our security chains are made of hardened steel with a special anti-corrosion coating which makes them ideal for outdoor use. The links are not round like on common chains, but are square-shaped which is a lot more effective against attacks with tools. The chains also feature a nylon sleeve to prevent paint work and chrome from scratches and damage.

Review: I keep buying this chain, it is that good. - I have used this chain on two generators. While no chain is totally impermeable to cutting, this chain will give a thief a real run for their time. There are some good YouTube movies on this chain. One of my generators is in a semi-permanent place for work. In both cases with generators out back, I did the following: dug a nice big hole about 2ft deep and 12" in diameter. I put a thick piece of bent rebar through the bottom link and positioned it in the hole. I filled the hole up with cement. It will take a truck to pull the slug of chain and cement from the ground. Later, I put a 6" slab over the same area as a flat working surface for the generators. Unless someone shows up with a rather powerful metal cutting diamond blade or disk, it is not likely they will get off with much of anything. The lock through the links is no weak point either since my lock smith uses the same lock and chain to secure his tools in his truck. If you own a motorcycle this is the perfect chain. A lot of the fancy looking chain in HomeDepot or Lowe's can be cut in seconds with a bolt cutter. Not ABUS. "Snatch and run" will not work with this chain. If you have a shed or the like that you keep equipment in, I would suggest pulling up some boards, digging a hole, and follow the directions above. A neighbor of mine had 5 chain saws stolen in the course of five minutes when he was out. Had he run 6+ft of this chain through the saw handles with one end in cement, nothing could have happened. The crooks just walked into the shed and snatched up the five saws. Easy theft. Also, no one has been caught either. At home you can even create a security point for bikes by the method above. For me burying the chain in cement is key. There are no easy weak points. They can't bend or cut an eye bolt because there is not one. There are hurricane ties that would also work nicely since they used those in houses buried in cement. But, this chain is largely hacksaw proof.
Review: Good for locking up my bike - Pretty decent, and long enough. I'm not a fan of the cover, though. I cut the cover in two places so that the chain could be looped onto itself. I feel that ABUS could have thought of this and made the cover in sections. The cover gets pretty trashed once cut open. It's a weighty chain, not too expensive, fairly easy to use and functional.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely heavy duty
*by D***N on June 23, 2024*

I know this is a bike chain, but we bought it to use as security at our church. We had an HVAC unit stolen from behind the church that was housed in a wooden shed with a lock on the door. That didn't stop the thieves, so we had to get something better. My husband bought this because it is extremely thick and heavy-duty metal. He wrapped it around the 2 posts where the door to the HVAC units are housed and placed a heavy duty lock on it. So far, it's working great- the chain around the back of the posts keep the bad guys out. It's a little pricy, but cheaper than replacing another HVAC unit. We are very happy with it.
