For $25 for a knock-off of the popular folding locks it's probably up to the minimal security needs that I have, and it looks trivial to carry.

The abus bordo granit x plus 6500 held 18s and 22s against different tools in bikeradar tests
The best bike locks and chains - BikeRadar

There is not much you can do in 20s so this lock seems pretty much useless.

Locks that seems to be a good compromise and a better choice than the bordo are litelok and hiplok gold
