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.
@BType13X25 жыл бұрын
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.

realistically, most bike thiefs aren't going to be able to clamp this tightly in a garage, and I don't know if they'll have the torque needed to do this. Even in a controlled envionment the chain lasted 3 minutes. In addition, this required a rivet AND a nut splitter. I think that this product is strong enough to deter most bike thiefs, who will probably chose a different bike to steal at this point.

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.

Use pitlock for the parts (they TRIED to take my brooks, as some marks showed, but gave up^^) and take it inside at home (not the garage or shed) and you should be able to enjoy your bike until you want a new one.

I'm an automotive technician, and I can simply explain what happened here. The nut splitter cut the rivet in a compression or slip split. What happens is, while you apply force to cut the nut, the tool stops moving in. While you apply even more force eventually cut piece (in this case the rivet) gives way sleightly, and causes the tools cutter to "jump", this sudden decompression hammers the nut just enough to cause a violent separation of the component you want cut. Hope this helps your "autopsy". Cheers Z

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.

As I was listening (decent DAC and headphones) there's a point (starts at about 4:30) where the microphone picks up a sound that I recognize as critical material-stress from back when we did material theory in school (decades ago). From the tests where we pulled metal bars until they stretched and cracked. You also see the material of the rivet start to flake a little. I am curious, did you feel a shift in tension too? You shifted the grip just after the first little crack. Thanks for the jump-scare though, the headphones really helped.

As much as I find the design of some of the locks fascinating and find myself trying to think of ways to redesign them to resist a particular type of picking I must admit that I do enjoy the brute force attacks on them. It does seems ironic though that a high end bicycle with carbon fibre components would need a very heavly lock to afford reasonable protection... love these videos, great work.

Still took about 2 minutes and very visible work on the bike, also, if you also have an alarm on your bike (or the lock) that would also go off. So, it's still good enough for going into the supermarket. This is more of a danger if you leave an expensive bike outside over a long period of time which is never a good idea - there are crews with MiniVans and battery charged angle grinders which will just do a short driveby and the bike is gone within minutes even with the beefiest U-locks available.

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

ABUS doesn't claim the rivets have been improved, but you there are "changes to the design and locking mechanism". Seatylock's promotional video shows a snippet of their lock surviving with the very same nut splitter but clearly the splitter was applied off the axis of the rivet.

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.

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.
