Pacsafe TravelSafe 20L Portable Safe & Bag Insert Review

Pacsafe TravelSafe 20L Portable Safe and Bag Insert
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been using a smaller PacSafe portable "safe" for several years. It has become so worn that the steel mesh is wearing through the fabric and the some of the strands in the steel cable are broken which regularly poke my fingers. It looks like it's falling apart but it's still just as secure as the day I bought it. These things are tough. It's a great feeling to lock up expensive items and not worry about them. I know four people who bought PacSafe bags after I showed them how well it worked.
PacSafe has made some improvements. The steel cable used to pass through the top of the steel mesh under the fabric. This could invisibly break or fool thieves into thinking they could just cut the fabric around the cable. Now they wind the cable through ten external steel-reinforced holes which makes the cable completely visible and more intimidating to a thief with a knife or scissors. It also puts no strain on the internal mesh and the fabric when pulling the locking "nut" through it. Also the locking "nut" embedded in the cable which the system completely relies on is now steel instead of nylon which makes it harder to damage with a tool or simply melt off with a lighter.
One added feature is straps with snaps that keep the bag "deflated" for storage or transportation. The steel mesh will want to expand the bag to its maximum size and these straps will keep it compact.
The only missing feature is a hole on the bottom to attach the free end of the cable to. With older smaller bags this turned the cable into an uncomfortable but usable shoulder strap with a sliding fabric sleeve so you wouldn't have the cable cutting into you (so much). I was also able to use this hole to attach a much more comfortable camera strap which turned it into a camera bag. With this model, the steel cable just dangles uselessly whenever the bag is open. There is no handle or strap which makes it very awkward to lift and carry with heavy contents. Even a simple handle would have made this a five-star product.
One thing they didn't improve is the protection of the ends of the cable. They still use rubber shrink tubing which will eventually expand and tear, exposing the end of the cable which has pointy strands.

Eagle Creek TSA 3-Dial Lock and Cable Graphite Review

Eagle Creek TSA 3-Dial Lock and Cable Graphite
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's just probably luck of the draw, but I bought two of these and one works perfectly and the second jammed closed almost immediately. I'm hoping the other won't jam while traveling. Other then that they look great and are relatively light and I love the cable (otherwise I would have given it just one star). Amazon, as always, is awesome and makes it relatively easy to return this item (for free since it's defective). They deserve 5 stars. But, it is always a hassle to return an item and I'd just as soon these things worked right first time, every time. The fact that the one jammed so quickly makes me a bit leery on the second one so I might return both.

Lewis N. Clark   Tsa Cable Lock 2 Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've used these locks for several years while traveling & what differentiates them from other similar travel locks is the cable loop.
Since the cable is flexible, it can bend if caught in a baggage conveyor without any damage to the lock or your bag.
Other hard-shackle-type locks usually break or bend permanently & become unusable.
Overall: great locks, great price. TSA-compliant.

Lewis N. Clark Tsa Lockdown Triple Security Cable Lock Review

Lewis N. Clark Tsa Lockdown Triple Security Cable Lock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm a pilot for an airline that forces us to put our bags in the overhead bin with passenger bags, resulting in frequent stolen/mistakenly-taken bags. After the company refused to pay for my stolen laptop (taken when my bag was removed from the plane by a passenger), I bought several of these for myself and friends and have had no such theft since. The double loop configuration is perfect for our situation, and keeps the bag safe from all but the most determined thieves (determined enough to have gotten cable cutters through security, for instance). I'll post a pic to show how it works on the Embraer overhead bin.
One of the locks failed, by the way, and we had to have a TSA agent come to the plane with his key (007), which also failed to open the lock. We cut the lock off with a giant bolt cutter, and advised Amazon. The lock was replaced before we could even send the failed one back, and we've had no problem since. Kudos, Amazon.

Victorinox Travel Sentry Approved Lock Set Review

Victorinox  Travel Sentry Approved Lock Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is for the lock set, the luggage tag and the locker toiletry kit--none which could possibly receive less than a 5-star rating (I'd give more if I could). All are superbly designed and crafted and extremely functional. I have matched them with the 25" wheeled bag in red and a vertical shoulder bag and am impressed at my wisdom every time I get them out. The quality and workmanship, alone, justify the higher price--functionality, appearance, design, etc are bonuses! I am having trouble setting a new combination on the lockset, but attribute that more to user error than manufacturer defect just because of all the other quality

Average Reviews:

While these locks look nice and work properly, I'm a bit concerned by the fact that all four locks I purchased (2 separate sets of 2) could be opened by the same key. I haven't been able to find any information about this, so it's entirely possible that all of these locks can be opened be the same key (or a small number of keys). If that's the case, where's the security?

Lewis N. Clark TSA Sentry Cable Lock - 2 Pack Luggage Accessories, Black/gray Review

Lewis N. Clark TSA Sentry Cable Lock - 2 Pack Luggage Accessories, Black/gray
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The best review I can give for this luggage cable lock is my personal experience when the airline sent my luggage to another country and it spent 4 days on the hands of thieves (some airport personnel I guess) that tried their best to broke or cut the cable to open the lock.
They destroyed it BUT they never got to broke or cut it to open it, my luggage came back to me intact, just had to replace the lock with another great Lewis N. Clark.
Do I need more to explain?

Pacsafe Strapsafe 100 Anti-Theft Tsa Luggage Strap With Indicator Review

Pacsafe Strapsafe 100 Anti-Theft Tsa Luggage Strap With Indicator
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Yes, this is easy to use. However, one can adjust the strap after it is locked. Simply pull up on the adjustment and push the strap through the bottom loop. It loosens enough to open any compartment not locked. If the belt is through a case handle, then it can't be slipped off, but if not through a handle, it could certainly be slipped right off the suitcase. I don't understand the advert that the strap can't be adjusted. I don't feel fully confident in this trap.

Master Lock 4688D TSA Accepted Cable Luggage Lock in Assorted Colors, 1-Pack Review

Master Lock 4688D TSA Accepted Cable Luggage Lock in Assorted Colors, 1-Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have an application for an airline travel lock where a standard long shank padlock is not practical to use, but this cable lock works fine. I actually have two of these locks and have used both of them twice for air travel and thus far they have worked as advertised. My only suggestion would be that I would like the cable be just a bit heavier.

And with set-your-own combination convenience, you don't have to worry about loosing the key while you travel.

Master Lock has joined together with TSA and Travel Sentry™ to use the special Travel Sentry™ mark on luggage locks that meet the requirements of the TSA.

The TSA screeners have access to special tools that allow them to open TSA-accepted locks in the event that your bags must be opened for inspection.
Airport security professionals no longer need to cut your locks or force your bag open and risk damaging it. They simply open your locks, inspect, and relock your bags, sending them quickly and securely on their way.
The red-and-white Travel Sentry™ logo on Master Lock TSA-accepted locks notifies TSA screeners that they can unlock, inspect, and relock the bag without damaging the lock.Travel Tips from Master Lock
Whether you're traveling within the United States or abroad, follow these simple steps to protect you and your belongings:
When checking your baggage, use a Master Lock TSA-accepted locking device--the one device the airport screeners won't cut! These locks allow TSA screeners to inspect and relock your baggage without damaging your lock.
Secure your carry-on bags with a Master Lock TSA-accepted locking closure as an additional safeguard.
Place your contact information inside and outside your baggage. This provides the fastest way to be reunited with your baggage if it is lost or mishandled.
Use a TSA-accepted lock on all bags throughout your trip--even in your hotel room and at the bell desk--as an additional theft deterrent. Available locks include: set your own combination, keyed, or locking luggage straps.
Carry an ATM card, credit cards, or traveler's checks instead of cash. Keep your traveler's checks in a money belt under your clothing for extra protection.
As recommend by the U.S. State Department, register your trip in case of emergency with the free online service: travelregistration.state.gov
Sign your passport, include emergency contact information, and give copies of it and other important documents to a family member or trusted friend in case of an emergency.
