an abus granit is about as resistant to an angle grinder as a top quality single sided D lock. in practical terms that means about 2-5 minutes to cut it. I wouldn't rate it as highly as a NY fag D as these require 2 cuts to release, but then on the other hand it cannot be defeated by the freezing / bottle jack method. It is not as resistant to bolt croppers compared with a decent D lock, but seems to be as good as most chains, with the exception of possibly boron alloy case hardened square link ones.
certainly it is a very practical lock which matters when you're choosing which lock you take out with you - chains are a pain in the ass to use imo.
It's a good lock for medium/high security areas. it's an excellent lock when combined with a mini-d.
