How long is this when fully extended? Do the sections twist lock in place?

As you extend the UShot you can twist each section from left to righ to lock it in place. When fully extended, the UShot is 49cm (19.3in).

The one I have is 12" long fully extended. It does twist to lock in place. The one in the picture looks like it is 24" long! I use mine all the time and love it!

If you pull the tow sections apart (they will not break) you can see a plastic piece that has a screw. When you twist the piece when it is in the other piece, the screw causes the plastic to expand and the friction locks the lower end in place. I suspect somehow the screw was extended to far and the plastic is not contacting the inside of the upper piece to allow the screw to enlarge the plastic to lock it.

Mine is on a gate and the hasp is bent therefore the longer shaft gives me more "wiggle" room as some one else termed it. I love this lock as the inside is not going to rust and become hard to unlock as all my other cheaper locks did. I have no opinion on a shorter length for the lock.

HelloThis lock is straight and then bends slightly down about 1/4 inch near the end of the lock. Then it is straight again for about 1/2 Inch. I can take a photo of the backside if you need to see what I mean.

It is the 50 amp model and yes you do twist to lock before tightening the ring, but then I really never tried to tighten the ring without locking the plug in place and I dont know if the electrical circuit would be complete without locking the plug.

I locks when IN (via a small notch in the slider), but not when extended. Haven't had any issues with mine wandering back inward when working, but had considered that, and I think that a little work with a punch and some planning would easily modify the slider to require some more effort to move.

(1) They sell a separate extension kit that I have not used. (2) As long as you twist it the correct way, it will not come loose; you can tape over the joints with duct tape to keep it connected if you are concerned. Just do not reverse direction when you take it out.

No. It is shaped into an "L". You can extended the ends but the bend will never change

Once extended to desired length, while holding the bottom section of the handle, rotate the top section clockwise till snug. To collapse, rotate counter clockwise to free.

I wish i could measure it for you, but mine went walking a couple months ago. It's probably 30-34 inches long fully extended, but you can always get additional spacer inserts.

It only extends about 20IN, it will mount anywhere it has a clamp style or drill a hole to mount. It will rotate 90 degrees. The arms are NOT spring loaded, it you move it around a lot it will get loose and have to use wrench to tighten it.

All it does is that it just pull straight up and locks into place and with some force onto it, it goes back down. It has spring loaded catches in it. You do not have to twist to lock into place.

It cdan only be extended to its full length, or completely collapsed. It cannot be used, without modification, in a partially extended state..

Yes, longer gives more choices of positions to lock up, but remember to always find a position to use up all the room within the u lock. I had a previously owned a shorter one which did not have attachment to store lock on bike. Having said that, the unsealed part on the U lock will chip paint on the bike frame plus I find the the attachment is difficult to secure to bike. Overall I am satisfied with the product, just needed to be careful.

It does lock out at full extension. It doesn't really lock in, but it isn't loose in a way where that would matter.

Hmm, I dont know but its kinda long... I dont use the whole extension cause it would touch the ground, I keep it folded.
