Personally, I did consider this one, but it's short. Seems if you bought two to link together it would be OK, but then it's costly @thomasjcat
Plus, I did also see the video that @Ferret posted before, and that's why I went for the big chain.

The guy
cut the with unique cutters perfectly aligned
Utter garbage review for me. That's like saying a bunker is bomb proof then you drop an atomic bomb on it.
How many smackheads or chances carry high quality imported bolt crops that cut steel and the blades are perfectly aligned?.
Now correct me if I'm wrong but I dont think screwfix, B@Q and toolstation stock top end bolt crops which the ones he has are.
And the ability to flip the bike over to make the 2nd cut. Just put the lock high up stops the thief from using leverage.
Most cutters on the market are for cheap alloy like copper and aluminium and once the blades slightly move the green mesh on the tested lock would become entangled in the blades.
No bike is 100% safe that's not the question here it's all about how long it takes or the thief simply moves on. But on the same token not every local smackhead or thief has top end bolt crops and the knowledge to set them up to perfection.
This guy is a grade one w@nker, it's funny he didnt use an industrial lazer or 50mm calibre gun. Let him try while say a bike is chained with the lock in the air with bolt crops most of your common thief would use, not imported specialised gear. And like I said, he simply flips the lock over while its lied on the floor unattached.
Try it with a bike say attached to a railing attached via the cross or downtube through the rear wheel a likely scenario.
He mentions he must be super strong ? More like strong smelling of bull sh/t I say

Dont shoot the messenger mate
The seen it done no matter with what make it a bad choice in my book.
Couple that with litelok removing the option to review the lock on comment on its function on the usual platforms sets alarm bells ringing for me.

I'm not m8 it's the guy on YouTube that annoys me. Why doesn't he do the test in a real life senario say,
Use the lock on a bike leant against a railingand the lock off the floor,
And use a straight forward off the peg local DIY bolt crops and let see how far the dickspot gets then

The way i see it mate there are as you know some very trick expensive bikes out there costing into thousands.
If thieves need those specific bolt crops they will go out and get them wont cost anywhere near what they could sell some bikes for. Also read on reddit bottle jack will pull the cabling out of the lock assembly.
I take my bike security very seriously i had a very unique TZR250R stolen in 2000 despite having what was regarded as a good lock at the time. Still cuts deep that theft now.
If i thought for one min these litloks were credible given their portability id buy one.
