edit wrong hiplok model
Oh the hiplok got done?! I thought that burned through discs last time.
Very impressive! If i send you some money would yall send me some of that high end rubbish?
My favorite weapon of choice is a 6" angle grinder. Milwaukee has some new HD 6.0amp hr batteries paired with some of their older angle grinder units that don't have as many safety features and man you can really make fire 🔥
Did it take longer to get the cheapest d-lock out of its packet than to cut through it?
Never locking my bike that close to a socket ever again
Just remember most of the time what ever you are locking your bike too may not be angle grinder too and check for precut bike stands
I have the onguard rocksolid, got it on sale at £150. Great lock, not too big or heavy (no bigger than a standard D lock) and clearly it really is angle grinder proof. Would definitely recommend – of course there are still ways to steal the bike but it's a pretty big deterrent.
What, no introduction for the new cast member??
Random thought. You’ve seen those chainsaw trousers that clog up the saw and stop them cutting through your legs, couldn’t they do that on the outside of locks to clog
Up the angle grinder?
Take off the wheels and run away
“IT’S CAUGHT FIRE!” goes back in and creates more sparks
I think that £7 amazon dooberry needs an apology!! 😉😄
You need to add a cordless hydraulic cutter to this test… they're quiet and way quicker for the simplest locks.
no pod today?
Every Dutch person knows, bike should cost 50 euro and locks should be 200 euro and there should be at least 3 of them.
Atp YOU ARE THE BEST BIKE LOCK, keep it with you at all time.
Or get a Brompton
You guys are using the wrong disc. Theres vids of these locks being cut under 2 minutes with portable grinders(although one required a disc change partway through)
When I see these vid's I think it would be great for you to try some of the accessorises, the company I work for makes for angle grinders and re-zip saws, but I don't want to give the crim's any more ideas.
I didn’t know there was grinder resistant locks. Thank you! That’s really insightful!
one quick tip there is a really complicated tool called google type in the word you want to pronounce and it will show you this is an advanced technique though so get a responsible adult to help you with that
are thieves using wired angle grinders..? then again if you can't get through a lock wired you won't get through that lock…
Litelok. I have one for my motorcycle. X1 or X3. 👌
UK's bike theft just went through the roof 😂
If you're using diamond discs you should get the ones that are for metal, not concrete. There are 2 types of diamond disc.
Disappointed you changed out to a diamond blade not designed for cutting steel on the expensive locks and then back to a metal cutting blade after. You should have shown the metal cutting blade on the expensive locks for consistency in results.
Cade you not funny and nor is this video. Keep trying guys as cyclist don’t make good comedians.
Where is litelok?
We will have this issue till the mentality changes. If someone steals my $6000 car it’s a big deal, charges, prison. Grand theft auto. Same actually applies to a motorcycle. But….someone steals your $6000 bike you’ve locked up with a $500 lock and you are the idiot for leaving it vulnerable and not locking it up appropriately….
No summary chart at the end?
not many thieves walk around with an angle grinder that requires mains power. You should be testing with battery operated grinders, the torque is not as strong on portable grinders
Thank you for this test, I don’t own an angle grinder so I’ll get the cheapest lock
you can find the rock solid for like £130/140 only issue is it's fairly small
Really good content from the guys here. Even Jimmy……
6:51 contempt with the performance of my kryptonite evolution standard. Anything above is too expensive or too heavy to use around town
Perhaps we should just start thinking about remigration as a cheaper alternative to combat bicycle thieves…
Great tips for locks. Also, love it when you guys are together making videos.
the company that made that big boy lock is probably trembling seeing how easy it was to get through their lock
With the very easy to transport and use 40kg bike lock…..Maybe if a thief would see a bike locked up they would just take pity on you ??
They could just angle grind the bars the bike is attached to if you have an angle grinder proof lock.
Ride an old cheap bike to commute, never wash it, and let parts of it rust…….and use a light cheap key lock to stop the wind blowing it away
You can’t cut metal with a metal diamond disc there for masonry
KevDoes
That sure is a shit grinder 😀
Getting insurance for my bike ASAP
There are diamond ginder discs that are more aggressive and specifically for cutting metal instead of concrete, curious how those would do. Mine went through a 5" cast iron pipe like butter. I know cast iron is soft compared to these metals, but still think it might do better than the concrete disc.
Just an idea! Hopefully you already have the locks, wanna do a collab with the LockPickingLawyer? Would like to compare how a professional picking can also open them
Locksmith here. The ONLY uncutted scene was the 7£-Lock and
propablythe Rottweiler scene. Any other 'test' was cutted. No timer, no full (time-lapsed) scenes. With other words you can tell us the biggest crap if you want to. Was that your plan?🫤1:25 doesn't make any sense lol, you had already done damage to the lock. If you simply cut a small sliver off, the lock would not fall off like that!
