Split them nuts

Personally, I believe that as punishment, bike thieves should have applied to their genitals, whatever tools they used to steal the bike.

i that that the tool was a nut crakker and sit like what is that for overkill for nuts

b ShadowStorm d What? I hope you’re okay after that seizure.

It crushes the testies of enemies

Since he put that much force on it i exspected a grait amount of energy to be released but that was violent.

Oh no, the Nut Cracker is a Christmas ballet. 😊

Lol, this had me wake my neighbour up with laughter!

Grey Cortez Thanks for the heads up

A cat(a-pult) launching weapon. . . . . Hmmmmm. Trouble is, mine tends to hang around my neck if I am on a computer. (When she has finished e-mailing her friends that is!). I have enough 'stripes' already :-(

Thanks for the warning! I turned my volume down and no kitties were harmed!

Hahaha, I can just see the poor beast taking off like the cat in Tom & Jerry!

I was never in the zone of danger... but I have a few videos planned for which I still am considering the safety protocol. These types of attacks store enormous amounts of potential energy... true bone breaking force!

Uh, I think the first one with the nut splitter took out a safety goggle. Good thing he was wearing it.

i agree lmfao haah that was scared.

A full face shield is very useful around the shop. I wear Jackson shields (any welding supply or online) and they would be ample but you might like one of the more modern style Uvex shields. I even wear one using a Dremel (because Dremel wire brush strands and cutting disk fragments fly off a high velocity!). A heavy coat or jacket (motorcycle jackets work well, I use my old ones for welding outdoors) will slow down fragments. You are correct to be cautious! My friend "shot" himself in the shoulder with a lock shackle fragment when using a cold chisel. Went in about 1/4"! He was wearing a T-shirt.

LockPickingLawyer I have to question the feasibility of doing such an attack in position though, here you have it in a vice and can easily stay out of the line of fire. In the real world how you deploy the lock largely effects how secure it is. For instance on your local bike rack/ streetlight your in a more public space you need to shield what you're doing from prying eyes so you could open the lock in this way but your gambling on the head coming off. I can tell you from industry that we don't use nut splitters to remove nuts and bolts because of this danger if its not backing off with an impact/ impact sockets and penetrating oil we cut the bolts mostly with a torch so that the metal gets to stress relieve as were removing it. What it shows is that these types of locks are vulnerable to this no matter how sturdy but compromising the lock in this way can be incredibly dangerous. If a person is willing to risk life/limb to steal a bike then there's really not a whole lot your gonna be able to do to stop them. I guess the next move if your making this type of lock would be to increase the rivet size by a few mm leave the core how it is and coat the rivets in a ceramic coating that fragments more, then again what you've created there could be classified as a booby trap and would be illegal.

That’s a pretty disgusting thing to say.

@@isabellam1936 Stealing someone else's property is far more disgusting.

I think if you were trying to do this in the wild you'd want to have a C-clamp with you for sure.

No clamp or vise was needed. I (or anyone) could have been done in it about 5 seconds; you'd just use a cordless impact wrench instead. You could use a small handheld hydraulic nut cracker. The bigger issue would be to avoid getting shot by the flying rivet.

In Singapore we have a much better solution. We don't use bike locks. We don't lock our doors. When shops close on our mass transit, they just put black table cloths on top of the goods knowing everything will be there in the morning. Theft is almost unheard of. Why? We have extremely strict and 100% enforced immigration with heavy background checks. We have great public housing and work programs so homeless do not exist. We have mandatory death penalty for drug dealers with a 99% conviction rate, carried out within 1 year of sentencing. We have mandatory jailing, drug program, and supervised work program for addicts to make them productive self-sufficient members of society again. We have public humiliation via stripping and caning that will make it hard to sit for several months for thieves so that they are known in the community and will think twice before ever doing that again and make an example to others. Almost all citizens will report any unlawful behavior immediately to authorities that will investigate, unlike America "snitches get stitches" criminal culture. When we went to the park we would put our phones in our purses on a park bench and when done with our jog we would know the purse would still be there. Lowest crime rate city in the entire world despite 8 million population.

It's a lot better to have your nuts split apart than wound together.

satanclaw this warning was issued since splitting the male genitalia will bring pain, and death from blood loss and possible sterilization of the victim's penis

Your nuts, consists of 2 parts. The Right, and the Left nut. If they are twisted together, the pain is beyond unbelievable as this will cut off bloodflow.

4 nuts are better than two

I wear a cup whenever I take it out. 👍

Working on such a thing you always should wear safety glasses.

@@xXMarvBoyXx I would use full face shild AND safety glasses. And then stand in a location there I think parts will be flying.

Yeah he most likely had his eyes/face/head covered up during this one

I'm surprised he didn't have the bike lock covered with some plexiglass or something to deal with flying debris.

tbh every other video i watch i'm in a half-asleep mode lol

I disagree. The thief can work undisturbed with the nut splitter because it makes basically no sound until the lock is broken. Once broken, it doesn't matter how loud the single bang is. While you (may) scramble to get up to check what this was, the thief is already enjoying his new ride.

yeah like every thief carrie's around a vise to secure the lock for work. try to do this without removing protective covering and holding it with just your hands. good luck. this is not an easy exploit ; video maker fails to meet realistic environment.

@@ryen7335 That's my thinking. No one carries a vice around, and amateur thieves are likely to not carry a nut splitter. Under most situations, this is a decent lock.

@@billigerfusel until someone confuses the sound with a gunshot and you got armed cops pursuing you for stealing a bike

@@WetaMantis dumbledore?

@Outlaw JEDI 'There are no problems, only solutions!' 😁

Brilliant.

How would that help against this tool forcing the two plates apart until the rivet breaks?

​@@johndododoe1411if one plate is larger than the other, the apex of the wedge will be difficult to center on the seam. It will be awkwardly positioned and has a further chance of sliding off instead of finding the groove, altho you might be able to modify the nut splitter by grinding the wedge into the size of the rivet itself and try to crack the rivet out of the hole. At that point, just cut the damn lock with an angle grinder or steal the whole bike rack.

If the object is to destroy the bike and not steal the bike

apfsds is a better option.

Yes, it took a lot of winding and makes a suspicious clicking sound too.

Or you could save time by moving to Japan. Even expensive bikes here are locked with something a mouse could chew through.

Samuel Sudhof considering how much japan doesn’t like people immigrating into their country.... what are you at now, 1%? Or have you finally gotten to 2% of residents are foreign? Easy to be safe in a nice xenophobic homogenous country.

It is a Japanese cultural peculiarity. They don't put much value in used goods. That's why most used cars there are sold to exporters at auctions. I spent some time there and frequently left my moped unlocked in the passageway to my apartment building. And btw, I had no issue getting a work visa for Japan, I just had to prove I could perform a useful task.

j p on one hand you're saying it's safe, on the other you're angry at them for not being diverse? Do you not want to live in a safe country?

Jan Michael Vincent im saying it’s safe BECAUSE they aren’t diverse

You know apart from the hiplok g1000 I'm having a hard time finding any bike law that's going to be at least somewhat of a deterrent to keep people from stealing your bike. Sure wish there was a lock out there that works it doesn't take less than 20 seconds to freaking break!😢

Lock not law😂

I wonder how many people here actually get that reference.... There was no schmoo spilled in the making of this video.

I did... and kept my stick on the ice. 👍

keep your pick in a vice..

Lock is not skookum.

we all have our vices

I did. Scary stuff!

When he started clamping down on it I put my coffee mug out of jolt range... which proved to be a good idea, as I leaped a foot off the chair when it finally gave :D

I was expecting it, forcing a wedge between two bits of metal with a rivit holding it together, that rivit is going to fail in a sudden way.

Lol, go have a cigarette. Trust me, the drama factor was high when shooting this!

soundspark Are you being sarcastic?

That might be so.... if u are addicted already.

+Leo Curious Have you ever tried to quit caffeine yourself? It's bloody hart. Never made it longer than 2 weeks! Also I'm in the "transform caffeine into code business", that makes quitting caffeine even harder.

It scared the fu** out of me I jumped out my chair..

A vice anchored to a workbench, no less.

I'd say yes, just have to hold the nut splitter with another simple tool. I even wonder why he didn't do it in the first place.

​@@claudej8805 Could you name the "simple tool" you have in mind? It should: 1. Be able to be held and operated with one hand while the other hand tightens the nut splitter. 2. Provide leverage and stability equivalent to a vice mounted on a work bench.

@@SourceOfWill I'm no native speaker, that's why I wasn't precise. I was thinking of a wrench on that square shape, probably one fits or make it fit (using 2 wrenches against each other). This seems doable, with the screw the leverage is high and the torque seems manageable. Before you bash me, know I'm a service technician on CNC machines. I've seen and done things. Also remember that his setup on that workbench isn't very stable and still holds easy. But now I'm wondering if my answer is stupid either way, you might just be a dumb thief.

The twisting torque of the screw mechanism is easier to apply than the enormous pressure being applied to the wedge. A pair of locking pliers on the nut splitter would be more than enough. The vice is only being used here to make the whole thing easy to see on camera, not as a necessary part of the operation.

sad but true, that's why ppl need to pay more attention of what's going on around them instead just ignoring things

Until the owner comes outside and clocks you in the side of the head

@@jeffbrownstain Luckily you have a hard hat on. Jokes on you silly owner.

Watching a LPL vid and seeing some comments will teach you how to rob anything😅

Michael McLaughlin first remove the hard hat

Still best "folding" lock is chain + padlock .

I suspect Abus will eventually improve the rivet protection. It’s not hard.

LockPickingLawyer Then what would you recommend? As I see it the rivet is vounerable as long as you can jam something in between the plates. That hardend collar did make it a bit harder but not prevent it. What construction would do the job better?

vulnerable

@@lockpickinglawyer I'm not hard either, after hear the words 'nut splitter'. You sure know how to spoil the fun 😂 Just kidding!

littlegoobie + the plastic was off. I think, it would have made the task even more difficult. Other than that, it was a nice test :)

I assume getting the plastic off wasn't that much work and though it was held in a vice the nuts splitter has a square on the body to take a spanned so this is fairly easy to do in the field. Of course these aren't normal tools bike thieves carry so unless they know they are specially going after this lock they may still fail. I'm not sure the washer is actually there for any protection of the joint though, u thing that is there for spacing as the bars are too thick to press an offset in them. Th only way I can see to protect against this attach is to open up the gap so the wedge has no effect. I wounder if list of lower grade locks are better than one of this grade. Or maybe a specific lock designed for that bike which puts the week point in a hard to reach place.

swap the ratchet out for a impact.

The angle grinder is loud

I re watched the video and don’t believe that it would make a difference. The weak point is the rivet and the gap allowing the nut splitter to be positioned at the right angle

Hold the nut splitter with a large adjustable wrench, drop hoody over all of it to muffle sound and hide your hands. The rivet came off with lots of force and speed but it has very little mass so it wouldn't take much to contain it. If you had your hand over it you wouldn't get more than a red mark.

@@terravarious same mass as a small calibre bullet i'd say .....

This. I suppose I could estimate the torque and friction, then calculate the force involved. I bet the number would be shocking.

at a guess, 15-20 tonnes

That's what built the pyramids

@@lockpickinglawyer they built the pyramids with same ideas

@@lockpickinglawyer how long big was the lever on lock breaker or there wasn't one

Yes indeed.

It would take longer for the thief. Take the plastic shielding off and it would be very fiddly as it wouldn't be in a vice like here and it might be awkward.

The thieves use box cutters to take that pieces off and go right to work. Some do it with under a minute without fear of getting hurt from the flying rivet.

I don't think an angle grinder resistant lock is even possible, unless its made out of pure diamond or something.

A layered security is better than a single one off approach. This lock (or two) along with a New York fugetaboutit lock with an alarm will more than be enough. It all depends on how much time/money you want to spend.

@@denisl2760 exactly. even that huge kryptonite u-lock can be cut off in about 1 minute and that's about the best security you're going to get to brute force.

😂😂😂

Well thanks to this vid if my bike got stolen and there is a pool of blood next to where it was, i'll probably chuckle

Assuming a bike thief has that specific tool and the time to break it

@@mickys8065 very true. So far my bike remains unstolen. I had a few close shaves but learnt from those mistakes. Thankfully the one time they tried to steal my baby these security guards beat the shit out of the prick. God bless them. You need to know the bad areas where your bike is at risk and always lock it properly. I have my Giant bike for a year now and it's been great. I don't leave it outside for stupid amount of time.

@@mickys8065 and the leverage to crank it that far

Cops would probably find the guy easily, people getting shot by flying rivets don't overcrowd hospitals lmao, unless if the thief somehow didnt got hit by it.

👍

I hope to see some bolt cutter, hacksaw, and maybe even drilling tests all against the rivet as well. Would the hardened collar do much to inconvenience the bolt cutters and hacksaw? Only one way to find out!

i can tell you right now, yes hardened steel is quite hard to cut. a hacksaw would take maybe twice as long as without the ring. and you would need a full size pair of bolt cutters

Hahaha what the fuck?

Don’t worry. I didn’t forget.

I'd think about something bigger than just glasses.

Nah, just engage the safety squint!

I think he uses a face Shield and hood

i may be late, but honestly, yeah. even though LPL broke the lock, he had it stuck in place where it couldn't move around. if you lock your bike up correctly, the weak point in the lock would be very loose, which would mean that if someone tries to break it, they would put their strength into simply moving the joint side to side, instead of prying it open

Well, the danger is artificial. If I wasn’t videoing, there would be a towel wrapped around this. 👍

It definitely would have been a bit harder to find the gap, but now that I know where it is, I could do it.

Could you try this again, however just try to do it like a normal thief would do in a hurry, straight between the plastic and crank it down fast, im curious as to if the protective ring itself is strong enough to defeat the attack provided it ends up being what gets "squashed". Basically re-do this as if you were not aware of the protective ring, and were in a hurry to "get in and get out fast" like a thief would be in action.

I second this ^. Please retest on a link with the plastic shrouding intact. It looked to me like the splitter might not even fit, though.

I just wonder is the plastic being in the way would make the splitter slip around rather than get into the gap.

Could you attack the rivet directly with the nut splitter by doing it vertically? Rather than going horizontally and indirectly? I suspect the nut splitter could cut the rivet. You could probably nibble around it until enough of one end is removed that the rivet would pop out.

Bring two pretty girls along. Everyone will think you are the hero who helps them get the bike unlocked

@@4philipp this is genius, u my friend have a criminal mind

wrap a jacket/sweater around the rivet that will pop and crank faster. Should take about 10 seconds.

Lol. Thanks.

Why?

LOL you should check out how much the americans are paying for their healthcare. This is small change compared to that.

Yeah, american health care sucks. I just got a 2 week supply of antibacterial pills, strong dose, but the price is what killed me. $1,600. Luckily good health insurance so I didn't have to pay anywhere near that.

I'm paying around 50 % taxes, should be enough + around 11-19 % for goods (like electronics and food). So i have around 30 % for life

It's much worse for us Canadians... I've seen it listed for over $250

snoopdogie187 Wow. We don’t pay anything for prescription meds here in Germany and even the health insurance companies only pay around 40€ for an antiobiotic.
