Cable or chain to secure your yeti

[cwd500]

I got a roadie the other day that I'm going to be using my work truck mostly. I was just wondering what would be harder to cut? I know if a thief wants it he will get it, but I don't want somebody just being able to walk up and grab it. At night it will be secure in the house.

Wire slings are harder to cut than chain.

I just bought some heavy duty chain from Lowes and put a heavy duty masterlock on it.

Like you said, if someone wants it they'll get it but I only have mine in the truck to-and-from destinations, never out at night. At least if I stop for gas/food, it's somewhat more secured.

Could have got one at work today, but it was 1 inch in diameter and 20 foot long

I use a bike cable lock. All any of it will do is keep honest people honest. If they want it bad enough nothing is theft proof

Cable or chain to secure your yeti

I got some cable from work today and I couldn't cut it with my bolt cutters or any hand tool that I had. But my band saw cut it like butter. I guess i'll just use that cable.

I had mine secure with Yeti Cable and lock. Lost my key and used just ta regular pair of linemans pliers to cut that cable in less than a minute.

Should I fire up my generator and maybe inbed the chain into the yeti!

I broke the key off in mine at an Allsup's in Roswell.

Pulled out a pair of tinsnips out of my toolbox and was thru it in a minute or two.

heard an Igloo and a Houston Texans sticker on it! It's safe.

I have mine chained down with grade 70 transport chain and a disc lock. One end is welded to my truck bed, the other is locked with a 1/4 inch piece of angle iron to the cooler.

It's not theft proof but if you're gonna try to steal it, I'm making you work for it. I rarely leave it in the bed over night, but if I have to I will lock both ends of the cooler to my truck bed and lock the lid

Who would have thought that an overpriced bike lock wasn't worth a crap

Ha, you beat me to it. Maybe he chained the generator to the Yeti.

Maybe it is because I am a simpleton, but why not just keep it in the cab? Surely it is small enough to keep in there at times when you are out of the truck.

This^^^^ Most if not all bolt cutters cannot and will not cut wire slings. You need a scissor type cutter to do that. Heavy duty locks work well, but still can be cut with the right bolt cutters. But if I were to steal a cooler. I would work on the plastic parts where it is anchored to(handles) that are easier to break so the cooler can be stolen.
