I'd he sells these on his website I'd buy it for no reason.

LPL has a much smoother voice than that Ryobi😂

you know its difficult feeling that click on 3

Actually LOL’d

that's a good point This is why people should buy quality brand locks like squier, hardened shackles and perhaps at least some pick resistance. At least then it won't be a waste of money

Except that angle grinders make a lot of noise and throw sparks, while bolt cutters are huge and will make quite a noise when they shear the shackle. So it depends on where you are and what you're protecting. If the thing you're locking is well away from civilisation, angle grinder attacks are totally something to worry about. If it's the locker room in your gym, I'd suggest that bumping and picking attacks are *far* more likely.

Yeah but if you can rake it open just as fast as using a key no one will ask questions. If you have a pair of bolt cutters on you they will ask questions.

@@ells5656 If they stole whatever was being locked, I suspect questions will be asked. However, I suppose it will probably take longer to notice if the thief picked and subsequently re-locked the lock.

this channel shows a disproportionate amount of good locks, out in the open, most cheap locks can be raked or shimmed in 1-2 seconds by any novice which is far easier, cheaper and stealthier than using powertools

There's been some back and forth in the comments that a higher AmH battery also can deliver more power. That was frankly news to me, even though I have seen it in my own tools. I think it's a topic you or AvE should tackle, if you already haven't done that video.

I agree would like to see that

That's good to know, though this is a brushed tool (you can see the sparks from the brushes in the little opening closest to the handle).

@@nickbradley8354 shouldn't be any back & forth at all. All else being equal, a higher capacity battery will have a lower internal resistance & higher rated current capacity b/c of the combo of increased surface area of the electrodes & additional electrolyte volume.

@@DiscoR53 Was gonna say. I don't know why anyone would but a battery operated bolt cutter when you could just get a cordless angle grinder.

Back in the mid 80's,,,we would bust off any type of lock,with a girls field hockey stick some with just 1 or 2 whacks on our away wrestling matches....ooops sorry!

We would roll up a towel and put it through the shackle and just yank on it real hard from both ends of the towel. Those locks opened up right away

I would have loved to see everyone cheering!

Low carbon steel=>you can not harden it(but you can put fake claim about it on the shackle)=you can also easly cut it with the cheapest $1 hand saw(and not make any significant noise when doing it)... LPL also could rotate the tool by 90 deg and then that deformed shackle would not have proper diameter in this axis (and by changing the angle back and forward you can cut it even with tool that is theoreticaly too small for the job). That Master lock padlock shackle was too britle but it was hard so cuting it with hand saw is not an easy job.

@@corail53 Just because the same company owns both brands doesn't mean they're always comparable. Milwaukee consistently performs substantially better than Ryobi, but you pay for it

That seems to be their way of doing business - reasonably cheap but surprisingly reliable. I used to retail their fishing reals & don't recall more than a couple of faults in many hundreds sold.

If you can get past the color Ryobi makes some good tools for the home gamer.

I’m surprised, because I found them to be pretty mediocre. Then again, I was using their gasoline-powered tools, which are a much more complex beast.

I will never forget making a service call (I worked for a door company at the time) to open a storage unit where the customer was upset that I was going to cut their lock off with a set of bolt cutters instead of picking it open...that was 2003, it was $80 just for the truck roll and an hour of labor

It damaged the blade, the motor is going to be calibrated to be only a little bit more than enough to chew up the blades.

@@danpowell806 - the 1.5Ah batteries have 1/2 of the number of cells in a 4Ah battery. Because the extra cells are connected in parallel, that means the 4Ah battery can supply a higher current in amps to the tool. These batteries also have a battery management system (BMS) built in that limits the current that can be delivered to the tool, cutting off in case of a higher drain. So this bolt cutter could be trying to draw more current than the smaller battery is capable of delivering, and the battery cuts it off.

Same thing with my Milwaukee tools. The high capacity compact batteries are game changers

@@danpowell806 False bud bud

@@stevebabiak6997 Do they really have BMSs in those small boxes? That is surprising to me. I figured it just be a limiting resistor or something.

Well, not many local burglars choose methods which need grey matter. Opening a lock the destructive way is a faster option and it's good to know how long can a padlock keep them busy.

Honestly, Ryobi is underrated. They make low quality tools yes, but their quality is better than a lot of other cheap brands out there.

My reaction exactly

@@mq5731 I love my Ryobi tools. Great price for stuff that lasts me years. All the specials are an incentive to keep buying them.

@@yunofun Yeah, the caulking gun has turned out to be the least impressive Ryobi tool I own.

@@bikeny Manual ones either use really big levers (a couple feet long) or hydraulics to give your arms mechanical advantage. LPL had a series a while ago demonstrating a hydraulic cutter. This one uses a battery, and you just pull the trigger.

@@bikeny just speed.... I have a cutter that would go though those locks in about 10 seconds. But big security locks are almost uncutable. It would be just interesting to see the race.

Because expectations were that it would barely work or the blade would get easily destroyed. It doesn't work well but better than expected, the blade took a lot of damage, but better than expected. A manual pair would have zero blade damage after cutting all of those and it would easily go through all of those (as long as you buy the 18" handles for torque). Plus, manual is much cheaper. At least half the cost I imagine.

I did have a Ryobi cordless drill driver (40 buck special) that worked for a year then started intermittently cutting out. So cheap I just replaced it and it’s been fine since.

And we got this broken.

said some guy in someone ELSE's shed!

It's not quite as portable though as a good set of picks or a Lishi tool, and you tend to look a bit suspicious getting out of a van with one and walking towards a bike rack..

It does a lot. The cut is way cleaner and it is not just pressing the parts apart. But then maybe only noticeable when cutting a car^^

Unless your using a drill press and are drilling something harder than mild steel the hardening process will have no noticeable effect on their lifetime. The most likely culprit is user error or a dull grind.

My favorite product by them is the Ryobi One+, which is a portable misting fan. We've taken it to the beach, camping, and even birthday parties and everyone loves it. It is designed to sit on top of a 5 gallon bucket but it can even operate from a water bottle. Blows air and mist about 20' away which is perfect for staying cool in the hot summer

The only issue I've had with their drill bits is that the ones I've used have been smooth shank making it impossible to use on any hard materials as the chucks don't hold hard enough. If they made hex shanks then it would probably work just as well as any other cheapish brand of bits. I'm currently working with a set of husky bits with hex shanks and while not the best, they do the job.

Their stuff is okay, but their table saws really tick me off (one wobbly miter slot? How much money did that save, maybe a dollar?)

@@theguru143 One+ is their common branding for a series of tools that might share the same battery.

shame none of you figured out the "hit it with a hammer on the dial and it pops open" trick for master combo locks

I reckon the shackle would've just slipped to the blunt part of the blade. Only option would've been to swap to new blades. Probably not worth it for him to do that.

@@sibbert1 Unfortunately, we can only speculate at this point.

Agreed. I don't need construction professional quality tools as a network installation tech but do need something capable and Ryobi makes capable tools. They aren't the best in show but they do work hard enough and the price point hits just right for my needs vs. cost. I have noticed a LOT more neon green on job sites the past 6 months - their quality has greatly improved on their top of line items and people are noticing.

And don’t forget that it’s thanks to Ryobi we have the same battery for all our tools. Before they came along all major brands had different battery’s for different tools.

Yep. Ryobi is just fine for the vast majority of home use. They really upped their game with the One+ stuff. It's still not for use in professional construction work (some exceptions) but compared to the absolute garbage they USED to put out? The difference is night and day. Their old, discontinued (I hope) blue series stuff was beyond useless and the batteries, oh GOD the batteries. Hold a charge for about a month and then would just stop working and charging.

@@shakes5847 Those were NiCad batteries. The new lithium batteries work fine in the old blue tools.

@@FiOSFellow I'm well aware.

Strangely enough, they make the best 8" flex extension for 1/4" drive. At my old work we tested every flex extension we could find and the Ryobi won, hands down. Their other stuff... eh...

Which is pretty much everyone who doesn't work in construction or wood working. That's why it is so popular.

I work in construction and use Ryobi tools. Will survive a little shorter than a Dewalt and cost half the price plus usually comes with 2 batteries. Ryobi is hands down the best value but sacrifices some performance.

@@innercityprepper note the spelling of armature as in motor windings

Likely they work in the heat-treat department. That's what counts when it comes to steel is the tempering.

@@Bialy_1 Yes, I was assuming the steel would be hardenable to begin with. I figured since it said "hardened" that it likely has sufficient carbon etc. Carbon is cheap, no need for special steel. Maybe 0.5%+ carbon and you're good.

squire from my own experience puts customers first and the quality of their products are top notch. I've had nothing but great praise for the company and how they treat their customers. Some of their products on the lower end are quite crappy though but only in the cylinder core. The product itself isn't really bad but they keep using their 4 pin core that they have used for 60 or so years and they don't have any anti pick features which is a disappointment. I've only had one lock fail in the field, I wrote to them about it and they sent me a new one free of charge. It's been fine ever since so it could have just been a bad batch which is expected on a large scale production run. I can't wait to try out their Inigma padlocks when they release them.

@@brett4264 "When all you have is a bolt cutter, all the world looks like a bolt!" ;-Þ

"Up to a quarter inch thick". That's 6.35mm. Even the worst U-lock or chain is likely to be thicker than that.

@@wbfaulk Plenty of chain locks are 6mm, everything under 1.5kg is like. Usually square shackles though, so would be interesting to see this tool try. Decent locks are at least 8mm and up though, but they do get heavy.

@@ZesPak I'm surprised to find that you're right. Kryptonite, even, sells 5.5mm and even 4mm(!) chains.

Any bolt cutter is inappropriate for that type, although some can chew through a thinner lock body and skip the shackle. From someone who cuts through chain regularly, the first 3 minutes of this video made me wince because the first rule is: get whatever you're cutting as deep into the jaws as possible. The leverage that the cutters had on the first ones was a fraction of what their power is when the lock shackles were pushed in farther. However, since there's always going to be a hasp in the way, this was very realistic. The first shackle was about 5mm, the next ones were definitely a shade over 6, and the last one looks just shy of 8. Anyone who runs a storage facility (that uses exposed-shackle locks) would consider this tool a gift from above, because a 36" conventional cutter weighs a good 20lbs or more, and they need a second person to steer the cutters onto the shackle to be effective. This cutter is very impressive.

this thing's "bulk" vs fullsize 24" bolt cutters

It's a Squire; LPL has praised them in the past.

@@nonyadamnbusiness9887 Doing metal fabrication at work, theres hililti, dewalt, milwalkee, and makita drivers. Only the makitia ones are any good.

The Ryobi of today is the Milwaukee of 2-4 years ago. It is the same tool just made with slightly cheaper parts.

Not going to be able to use any of them all that well on disc locks. Unless you just cut the hasp instead.

​@@greendryerlint I worked at a storage company. I had bolt cutters four foot long. I would brace the handle against the wall and lean on the other. I would cut straight the disc lock body and shackle. Once I learned where to put the bolt cutters I could cut a notch in a disc lock and remove it in under ten seconds.

I had a disagreement with a storage locker company once. I had two lockers, one with low-value stuff in it, with a Master lock, and one with the things I actually cared about, with a quality lock. They went to cut them off. The Master lock gave them no trouble, but they were surprised and annoyed when the good lock damaged their bolt cutters. I still have that lock, complete with a little notch in the shackle where they tried to cut it.

And the reason they need to put that graphic on is the field indicated by the 2nd "L" in LPL's name. :-)

It's called covering their ass. Against a lawsuit.

Yeah, this tool makes a great toe -nail- clipper ;)

I found this useful too at some small post offices, and they went through securicor vans like butter !

Perhaps we'll get to see that in the Sequel... :-)

It would make a big difference. Even setting the bolt at the end of the blades would likely have been enough to do the job.

A larger capacity Ryobi battery might also have helped, since that would allow the tool to draw more current before the battery management system (BMS) in the battery cuts off power to the tool.

Yes , I thought he was a bit quick with Squire . I replayed it a few times looking for a nick . Honestly , I even looked to see if Squire were sold on a LPL link .

There is a small dent in the side of the shackle if you look carefully, but its not deep enough to get to the full width of the shackle, only about half I think. And it did not seem like the blades moved the last times he pressed so I think the tool had stopped moving and the sound was just from internal tolerances. Forcing it would probably just damage the cutters mechanism, not only the blade.

Not well would be my guess. Those blades are probably cast then machined down to good blade geometries, or forged and machined. Forged being better of course. They are almost certainly then quenched and tempered giving the blade a homogeneous material without any internal stress risers. A dissimilar material welding process and a manual sharpening, even if the weld was perfect and without any discontinuities, would probably give you a nice linear stress riser at the heat affected zone Your blade alignment and geometry would be slightly out of line with the direction of force, or be pushed out line. This would transfer some degree of force directly to your HAZ in a twisting motion. Your hard material would just snap right off when put under that kind of strain.
