This item is superb in every sense, it looks the part, it exudes quality. Don't hesitate, you will NOT be disappointed. Everything you need to install into concrete is supplied along with comprehensive instructions.
Not going anywhere!
- 20/04/2012
Now I very very rarely write any review on a site I buy a product off - in fact I could probably count how many on one hand, but this is one of those times.

I did weeks of research online and in stores as to what would be the best type of anchor for my Harley, as well the location I wanted to put it in the garage and the type of grounding I had in there as well. I eventually concluded that the Torc Anchor is far superior to others offered on the market.

Once ordered, I changed my mind about where to deliver it as I was going to be out, but this was no problem for Pragmasis who were happy to change the address to my work one within a few minutes.

Once the product arrived it was very well packaged - each componant seperately bagged and labeled. They have even put labels on the fillings so you know they are not part of the product! Once unpacked there was a contents list with what should be in the box as well.

I took my time reading through the instructions which were well thought out and explained. Being only 26 with little DIY experience, I fully understood what was required.

I set about fitting the Anchor - which was the concrete fitting kit one - and finished within about an hour, taking my time. The finished product fits flush, and the drill bit supplied has tape around it so you know exactly how far to drill for the bolts. My only criticism of this, is that the drill was very worn by the end, and that was even with pilot holes drilled with a spare smaller drill piece I used. Also, please ensure you have two drill batteries ready if you are using a cordless drill - my first battery went after only the first hole of drilling, despite being at full charge at the start. This is important for when you get to the drilling of the bolts to break the glass resin, as you cant afford for the battery to die as it says in the instructions.

The product is brilliant, and I have pulled and tugged on the Anchor since fitting it, and it certainly won't be budging anywhere fast!

I am thrilled at the product, and for the price, I believe it's a good deal. The staff are friendly and very helpful, and will happily take the time to assist you with any enquiries.

Cant recommend this product enough.
A tidy product and fitment
- 10/05/2012
Ordering was simple and delivery very prompt. The Torc is neatly finished although I wonder how well the coating will resist knocks from chains and being driven over. At least it folds nice and flat.

The installation instructions are very clear, well sequenced and include many tips to ensure it goes well. If you're even vaguely handy with a drill you should be able to get this done.

The screw-style resin dispenser worked well and was plenty large enough to cement 4 neat holes.

[Pragmasis Comment: This was with the 100ml Injection Resin kit. We don't expect the powder coating to withstand being driven on and clattering chains, which is why we use a zinc phosphate treatment first, to give weather resistance even if the powder coating does get chipped during use.]
Very sturdy. Fitting kit and instructions are superb.

Worth 5 stars for the supplied fitting kit (including drill-bit, hex driver and makeshift punch) and comprehensive instructions alone. The anchor itself is very beefy and the fold flat design is neat. Great stuff!
Head and shoulders above the competition
- 06/07/2012
I have spent nearly 20 years as an industrial design engineer and user interface designer. I've been asked to remove a well-known brand ground anchor which the collegue had positioned in the wrong place (and was not too bright either!). A long crowbar and suitable fulcrum pulled the chunk of concrete out with ground anchor within minutes. The instructions for installation were rubbish, completely missing key points such as 'as strong as the weakest element' and no concept of what makes a strong bond, resin or expansion.
While the Torc ground anchor is no doubt as tough as they come, as a professional thief (I'm not!) I'd not be looking at this at all, but the concrete quality and bolts used. This is where the good engineering and instructions from Pragmasis are head and shoulders above the competition. Seemingly small details like removing the dust from the bore holes, and making sure the bore holes are within 5mm of the resin tubes, is what can make or break a robust install.
I do think I could remove this ground anchor with a 20-tonne jack, but it'd make a hell of a noise and take about 10 minutes to set up and burst free. Such a piece of kit is also pretty hefty to carry about. The only improvement I can think of is to use a steel plate as used on the ground anchor, but about 25cm square with eight staggered bolts. This of course would cost quite a bit more!
An excellent product for the money, with very good instructions and kit supplied. I believe this is probably the best ground anchor on the market.
5/5. The rest I would rank 2 or less.
Super quality and service
- 12/08/2012
Very impressed with the initial ordering of the product, excellent advice given by Stephen. Product is solid, robust and very easy to fit with the supplied kit.
Excellent service

Anchor is a beast looks good, easy to fit. Next day delivery after late order.
Great product with excellent customer service
- 17/08/2012
I ordered this then messed up the dates which I needed it delivered but the guys bent over backwards to accommodate my requirements and were friendly every step of the way.

The product itself is great and does exactly what it says on the tin!
Excellent in every way!
- 25/08/2012
Quality of supplied product was superb, the instructions are detailed and specific, and the service from Pragmasis was top notch.
The attention to detail in the product was outstanding - 4 pages of instructions, a piece of tube supplied to blow concrete dust from the drilled holes (!) and even an M8 bolt supplied to use a punch for hammering home the ball bearings into the tops of the countersunk socket bolts. For £67 inc. postage I have no hesitation in recommending this product - it's worth every penny!

First Class Bike Security.
- 09/09/2012
I Purchased the 19mm Chain, the Anti Pinch pin with the Torc Ground anchor and Squire SS65CS Padlock.
Originally i was going to Bolt the Torc Anchor to my Garage floor, but unfortunately my concrete floor was only a couple of inches thick. Back on the phone to Steve who advised me to purchase the Concrete-In Fitting Kit. I can not thank Steve enough for the lengthty phone calls and first class advise I received from a man that is so passionate about bike security. I cut an 18 inch square hole at just over a foot deep, using a coupe of bags of ballast and a bag of cement.
All concreted in about an hour, very easy assembly of the fitting kit, Hey Presto one very secure locked up Motorcycle. Great product and a great Company. I cannot recommend this product enough.
Thanks again To Pragmasis a truly excellent product.
Absolutely first class

I was one of the first to buy and fit the series II (to concrete into the ground) Torc. The instructions were precise and informative for anyone to follow. Having had some sort of ground anchor for decades (Home made) I can say that THIS IS a really well made piece of Kit and well thought out. I used it in conjunction with some 19mm Protector Security Chain and a Rotalock padlock to secure my Ifor Williams Trailer that I rely on to make a living.

Brilliant

Arrived in the most thought through packaging I've seen and with idiot proof instructions. If I ever wanted to steal something attached to one of these I think I would start by attacking the concrete!
Onto my second anchor ..
- 12/10/2012
Fitted one of these to a house in a rather bad neighbourhood in Manchester a couple of years ago to protect a bike that was kept outdoors ... that bike never went missing despite being targeted! Now needing to protect my motocross bikes there was only one product that I looked at - the Torc Ground anchor. First class product, well designed and once fitted it ain't going anywhere! Ordered in the afternoon of Thursday, arrived by 11am on the Friday ... great product, great service from Pragmasis also .. Thanks!
A nice ground anchor

A robust heavy duty ground anchor with a simple but very smart design… :-)
Thanks Stephen, for an excellent service and help!
Excellent Product Impeccable Service
- 01/11/2012
Can't believe how good the quality of service is from Security For Bikes. Absolutely first class.
In terms of the product then it looks like even the Hulk would struggle to try and crack it!
Very very pleased customer.
Excellent product, thorough fitting kit and clear instructions
- 06/01/2013
The Series II anchor's simple design and heavy duty components make a very robust and formidable anchor. Fitting is easy as the kit has all tools required including drill bit, Allen key and a drift for fixing the ball bearings. All I needed was my power drill.
Torc Anchor

That's not going anywhere!!!!

Ordered the Torc anchor to fit to the base of a Asgard Metal Bike Shed positioned on top of flagstone paving.

It arrived the next day, thoughtfully packed and with detailed instructions.

Took a good hour to fit - well worth the time to get it right.

Top notch

Very satisfied with Torc anchor. Mine is placed into a brick wall (vertical) in the garage, so I utilised the brick wall-appropriate fitment system.

As expected, I found the toughest part of installation was drilling the holes into very hard brickwork. Before I started, I took the advice of other reviewers and bought two extra drill bits (10mmm and 16mm) that were the toughest/strongest I could get. This was a wise decision. (I've lots of experience of inferior drill bit heads breaking or getting blunt very quickly). If you don't have a powerful mains-powered SDS hammer drill, I suggest drilling a smaller hole first, before using the specified diameter-size drill bit. If you're using a battery powered portable drill (as I was), you may have to stop work a few times to recharge the battery.

Overall, my experience of dealing with Pragmasis (via phone, emails, product literature, helpful fitting instructions and not, least, the top-class product itself) has been excellent. When I opened the mailed-out box, I was pleasantly struck at how much effort Pragmasis had put into helping the buyer fit their product. Some examples. A little bolt is supplied that has a little dimple in the one end for use in hammering the ball bearings into the allen key slots of the wall anchor bolts. Also, the supplied drill bit (for the wall fixing kit) comes with a bit of electrical tape wound around the shaft at the point indicating the correct depth to which the hole should be drilled. And, the accompanying fitting instructions are excellent.

I never normally put pen to paper to write reviews, but in this instance I feel Pragmasis Security deserve commendation. It's so refreshing in today's world to see a company that really stands behind its products and is trying hard to provide real world solutions and a great customer experience.
Torc anchor

Instructions were very clear and having read through them once before I started the installation went without a hitch. Took 20 mins and the anchor feels rock solid. Excellent product - thanks
Outstanding in Every Aspect
- 15/04/2013
Prompted by my insurance company to get a higher security-rated ground anchor I opted for the Torc and I'm very pleased I did so.

The order was processed without delay and arrived on the day notified to me in the confirmation email. Packaged professionally and securely with everything present and correct.

You can feel the superior quality and strength of the ground anchor just by handling it. The fitting instructions are exceptionally well written, anticipating every question or area of possible confusion. The installation went without a hitch and the end result not only looks good but is unbelievably strong. Thieves will definitely look for an easier target when faced with the Torc. Cannot recommend too highly.

On renewing my motorbike insurance, one of the conditions, was that I had to have a Sold Secure gold approved ground anchor. After looking around at the different ones available, the Torc 2 ground anchor seemed to tick all the right boxes. Delivery was very fast, & Upon viewing the Torc 2, it looks a very well made, strong looking item & very nicely finished. I opted for the resin capsule fitting kit, although I've never come across this type of fitting kit before, it was a very straight forward job. I'm a little sceptical about using a resin to fix the ground anchor fittings into the concrete, so I'm putting my trust in PRAGMASIS, as they seem to know what they are talking about when it comes to motorcycle security. The instructions that comes with the Torc 2 are brilliant, very easy to follow, and down to earth... I highly recommend this product...Thanks PRAGMASIS for your quality product & professionalism.
Excellent product, great instructions
- 21/05/2013
This is a great product, delivered quickly, very well packaged and with very thorough installation instructions. This is a great bit of kit.

I ordered this set for my mountain bikes. It arrived swiftly with no items missing. Steve and David replied quickly when I contacted them, and were very helpful. The instructions provided with the kit were excellent.

I would definitely use SecurityForBikes again!
Excellent service

Telephoned first to ensure it was in stock then ordered on line and arrived next morning. Easy to fit and included drill bit to make it easier. hopefully it will never be tested but it appears extremely strong.
Cannot fault the sales, service or item

Torc ground anchor and 16mm Protector chain
- 02/07/2013
I received excellent pre-sales service with answers to a couple of queries. When I did place my order the products arrived swiftly and very well packaged. The instructions were very clear and thorough. While fitting should not be rushed it was relatively straightforward assuming the fixing surface is sound. An excellent product and service to match.

Emailed for advice. Got a detailed helpful reply. The anchor was delivered promptly with good reassuring and helpful instructions. Everything needed for fixing was in the kit except except a small drill bit for a pilot hole. I would recommend the product with no hesitation. (I got the 100ml injection resin, and there was plenty)
