Reverse bolt extractor? Been looking for these to put the fucking mashed thing back in that i had to use the regular extractor to get out 😆

Never needed one but makes sense, reverse threads are still used in plenty of applications.

Boat engines always have a reverse threaded bolt somewhere. You can spot it by the mashed head and tiny almost invisible notches.

But they seem to be of the drill bit kind not the spiral kind shown here. They'd be a bit more destructive

@@luckylikey9280 Puck locks are pretty standard and this would work in all those applications. I agree that padlocks are not suitable for the front door of your house.

It's for locking shipping containers, vans and warehouses. Basically places that you need to lock up for some amount of time, then open when needed, will stay open while needed and then get locked up again when you are done. This is not a lock for constant use.

Only because it's security through obscurity. You could really, very easily make locks that would be just as likely to be picked as this, that are still quite simple concepts

and it's pretty interesting seeing something where the security is entirely built around obfuscation

As potatosordfighter666 pointed out (I have to even ask what that handle means), "it's security through obscurity". Which is actually what I consider the best first line of defense, having worked securing data systems. So it was deserved praise for true originality. That shouldn't be the extent of your security, however. That only stops people on the first pass, the goal of it being to discourage 99% of would-be intruders to go seek an easier target. The 1% that sees it as a "challenge", however, are going to be back with a vengeance, so the rest of your defenses better be ready for it.

It's really inconvenient to put in place of normal door locks and there wasn't much of picking involved as it was more about unscrewing an unusual bolt.

@@nutbastard i mean if it's full steel body, it's pretty much impenetrable for any handheld gun. With how much metal there are, i'd say anything less than 30mm AP will have significant issues going through, if it will at all, even say 20mm

Then you just mash a lump of JBweld or whatever 2 part paste epoxy into the recesses and stick an allen key in the back wait a couple of mins and turn it free. At best this works because it needs a weird shaped socket and as long as the unlocking mechanism is just a standard thread there are plenty of ways to apply toque to it hell drill into the middle and jam a tapper in and use that as a wrench. It'll stop most people and all but eliminate causal one off attacks because its unlikely people will have the tools on hand but if they know you use this particular lock it's not an insurmountable barrier because at the end of the day its a weird shaped bolt.

I did roadside assistance for a few years, a really common call out we'd get was for drivers with a punctured tyre and didn't have/couldn't find their locking wheelnut key so we'd have to improvise to get the wheel off. Almost all the methods, regardless of type, centred around taking a £1 shop socket that didn't quite fit over the nut/bolt, resting it roughly in place, then using a lump hammer to beat the socket like it's a red-haired stepchild until it does fit the nut. From that experience I can tell you those slip bearings they put round the nuts don't make it any harder to get them off - it might take a minute or two longer, but it's not any more difficult. If you have the right sized socket to hand - something in the 16mm-19mm range - you can sometimes bevel the edges with a file and smack it straight through the bearing race to grip the stud inside. Or you can take the 5mm flat-blade screwdrivers you picked up in the £1 shop while you were stocking up on sockets and smack the tip of one or more in to the bearing race - it'll either cause the outer ring to tear meaning you can just pull it out of the way, or at the very least it'll deform either the ring or race to the point that it can't rotate, then apply torque to the screwdrivers to crack the stud out. You could even take a syringe with a 15 gauge needle and inject some araldite in to the race to lock it in place - although you have to work _really_ fast and if you're not careful you could either bond the treads or bond the fastener to the wheel - at which point your only option is to drag it back to depot and chop or burn the wheel off.

I suspect that your method would have to confront the lock moving around while you hammer the socket into place. It may turn into a 2 person job. 1 to keep the lock stationary and 1 to hammer away.

I feel like it would be a total pain in the ass to open all the time, like even with the key, this lock seems to take half a minute to open, compared with maybe 5 seconds a normal lock takes, so it might be best used for doors you don't regularly use, like for a garden hut maybe

@@hanneswiggenhorn2023 Maybe because he said the lock was from Nevada I thought of a gate or outbuilding on the back of your property.

I agree. As long as you have at least a $35 hardware store padlock that would deter most children, you'd likely satisfy an insurance company that your stolen goods were indeed behind a locked door.

They should have stuck with "unpickable". At least that's technically true, given that you can't use picks to open it.

$400 seems like a lot for a reverse bolt in a cup.

Yeah, it really does

This makes me kind of sad for them. I think they really believed that it was impossible to open. Much less, extremely easy to open with a low skill method. This might be okay for home use. But anything important should be secured with something better. Which is exactly the opposite of what the website says. Very sad.

@@Kahless_the_Unforgettable they had the hubris to call it unpickable. That's where they went wrong. At $400 and with the inconvenient key and opening method, this is terrible for home use.

LPL provides a damn valuable service to the companies developing new lock designs. You basically get thousands of hours of expertise to show you how to re-engineer your products weak points and all it costs you is a mildly embarrassing video tear down of your prototype.

its easy to be fixed, the mechanism that take the key has to be inverted inside the locks body, so there is no point where u can grab that. the key would need a hull though, for carrying around, cause the pins would be elevated

But... he DOES know better, and so do we all now, haha. It's not difficult at all. A simple universal socket would defeat it. Or a screw tap bit (for stripped screws).

The vast majority of B&Es are done using "objects of opportunity" to violate a weak point in security, such as a window or soft door. To have any value, this lock would need to be mounted to something equally durable, or else you could probably just break it off. Most hasps would break long before this lock would.

It's still a valid semantic argument. There is no lock therefore nothing to pick. Can it be opened without the custom wrench? Yeah, but they didn't say it was un-openable :) It's absolutely a semantic argument of course.

Make an entire container purely out of a bunch of these locks locked to each other so that whatever you're locking is exactly as strong as the lock itself

@@AlcoholicBoredom i imagine the manufacturers/sellers might specify it's use, but i imagine it's probably more for larger storage containers? Ultimately, it needs something the pin can slide into, so either 2 latches that can't be pulled apart, or a singular latch with a hole for the lock to block it from opening (like a side gate you'd find on a house).

If you watch a conference he animated (somewhere on youtube, it was recommended to me a few weeks ago), you'll see he actually strongly condemns the "security by obscurity" mindset that a lot of security companies have.

@@unter9982 My comment in no way says that security by obscurity is good. In fact, if anything, it would imply the opposite. The observation is that your security is only as good as it is against someone who's aware of what they're up against. Something being secure against an untrained individual is okay and even adequate in certain scenarios, but it means nothing at the end of the day if someone who knows what they're attacking can just walk right in, because there's an easy exploit to be had, even if the average person wouldn't have even tried to enter in the first place. Therefore, securing something in a manner that leaves you more vulnerable to skilled individuals by just appearing impenetrable to a layman is not a particularly good idea.

Knowledge is power

@@nickwilliams2415 I completely agree, encountering this lock in the field and not knowing how it works and not having specific tools makes this a very secure lock

@@unter9982 Yet passwords or safe combinations or keys are exactly that when you boil it down to its essence, security by obscurity. There's many different 'authentication factors', but in the end they boil down to really only a few things, ranked in order of how often they're used are: - Knowledge factors (keys, pins, passwords, patterns, codes programmed into RFID/NFC chips, etc) - Posession factors (the actual entry password is auto-generated and sent by request to a phone or other identification device the authorized person holds in possession) - Location factors (niche, but can be very effective) - Time factors (niche, but can be very effective) The reason a key is a Knowledge factor and not a Posession factor in my opinion is because you can fabricate keys so long as you know the cuts... there's a reason LPL doesn't show the keys on camera for locks in active use. Whether fingerprints or retinal scans should be considered Knowledge or Posession factors is up for debate.. although given how easily they're recreated/spoofed I'd personally be inclined to call them Knowledge factors as well. So yeah, most of all applied factors are, in actuality, a form of security by obscurity.. unfortunate as that may be.

If a lock is good enough to bar someone from entry so long as they don't have a substantial period of time alone with the lock is secure enough.

@@clorkmagnus plus the reverse threads would probably make most people think that they're just not using enough torque.

It's agonizing!

What are we like 5 months in on the SME lock?

I wonder how much is tease and how much is him studying non-traditional picking methods

Lol it might have him beat?

@@StadiumLandings He mentioned quite recently (maybe 2 weeks ago?) that it hasn't come in the mail yet

Debut album title: "Pliers and sandpaper"

@@chrisrnz first released single: "A less elegant solution"

i like mine, Charles Manson Dance Academy

@@shreknskrubgaming7248 that actual sounds like a really good song

@@bskcj1149 I don't know your music tastes, but I was imagining some sort of melodic yet heavy metalcore song similar to something by Parkway Drive, or a really technical progressive instrumental by a band like Dream Theater. Not to stroke my own ego too much, but I also think it's a dope song title. I could also see it being a song for a "Ghosts" album by Nine Inch Nails. I'm curious to hear what you had in mind, if anything particular.

Verified but no comments…

Lock? Really dude?

@@hochigaming14yearsago90 lol

@Raphael's Epic Stuff Clearly there's 7

And my axe

And my magnum

I mean I doubt your average thief carries around 2 pairs of pliers but yeah a pair of pliers is the appropriate 'lockpick' for a bolt. you don't have a ''key' wrench for.

@@bloodred255 I don't pick locks but I always have at least two pairs of pliers. Your average office worker or unemployed person might not though.

yeah man 400 dollar per lock is omegastonks

@@BackToBackWWChamps I think I could do it with one pair of pliers, might damage the bolt or take more than 40 seconds though. also the option of drilling the bolt exists.
