Agreed. I've spent about £600 so far on Pragmasis chains. Luckily I still haven't foundifound out if they are up to the job, but they seem solid.

Hmm, not sure how that's possible. Isn't that the whole point of an angle grinder that nothing is resistant to it?
DOH. Just realised what I actually wanted to say is..... Get an old car tyre and cram it with old fencing wire and general metalwork. Shove a few bricks in the bottom if they will fit. Fill the bottom with concrete and leave it to set. Rotate 90 degrees, fill the bottom with concrete and leave it to set, etc.
Cover it with polythene or something to stop it making a mess et voilà. A ginormous heavy polo mint that you can lock stuff to. Some people reckon on a u lock buried in a bucketo'crete but that's much easier to cut through than aconcrete and metal stuffed tyre. (But don't skimp on the wire mesh of course)
Not sure how much mine weighs but it took the seriously huge moving house man to lift it so I'm guessing around 80kg. You can roll it around to move it, but once it's chained to a few bikes then it's pretty much immovable.
