I had this exact type of lock on my bike when it got stolen. From the pieces I found on the ground by the bike rack, I don't think this is what they used - one of the metal plates on the main body looked like it had been sheared through. Luckily, I caught them selling my bike on craigslist almost a month later, and was able to recover it with the help of the police.
Are there any bike locks you actually recommend? I just don't have time to watch every one of your videos lol. I'd have to quit my job and then I wouldn't be able to afford a lock!
After randomly stumbling on your channel, watching a couple of videos, I finally changed upon a video with a lock that I own. This hamburger lock is used by me in the past to secure my bike for short periods of time. Amazing how fast it can be broken thru.
Would you consider doing some dead locks and 5 lever mortice locks and showing the differences between those and the standard pin tumbler locks we are used to?
I would love to see a comparison between all locks featured so far in an more realistic scenario: locks actually securing a bike, average time for breaking them and noise level.
@@lockpickinglawyer Means u should've done it while connected to a bike in the street. The time and the attention it gathers at the studio is way far than in the streets.
Hm, very sad to see this. Just found this video before making the final purchase of this device. What type of lock to select to protect a bicycle when goin to shop on 10-15 minutes?
Ok so I still think it sucks that you have to destroy all these awesome locks. These videos are still pretty cool to watch. I'm pretty sure can afford it too lol.
Still waiting for the destructive attacks on the TOOOLs PacLock and the Mako 427 that you promised. Thanks for the great videos while I wait for these two.
By any chance are you based in New York. I’m heading there next month from the uk and I have a rather interesting lock I’d be happy to gift you, you haven’t featured it on your channel before. It’s a reobuck cross key lock with 15 pins. It would be interesting to see the time it takes to pick and of corse how it fairs against the ramset! Let me know if you are New York based and interested
I'm not entirely sure of that, however I suspect the question really is cost vs. strength. For example, if all the rivets were solid high-carbon steel hardened and tempered. Or perhaps had a free-spinning sleeve around the rivet. I believe you could ramp it up until it required the nut splitter design to be specifically customized for the task.
Hmm, hadn't considered that. Peening over a hardened rivet would be a challenge indeed. Really though, after watching you and others go through locks like a hot knife through butter, I think I'll stick with the tried and true security systems - provided by 'Very Large Rottie with an Attitude', a locally sourced green and renewable (self-replicating if you're not careful) defense method.
If the links were totally flush with each other and had just huge overbuilt rivets then they'd stand a better chance. Hard to say whether or not it'd make them splitter proof though.
as a motorcycle owner your last few videos have been quite unsettling!.you have easily defeated the locks that the motorcycle press recommend.would a m/cycle chain splitter push the link pins out?.I'm just glad there's 3000 miles and the Atlantic between us!.

A hydraulic hose could protect such lock, so other tools would be needed to cut it. There are also protective sleeves for hydraulic hoses, they alone would slow down some types of attack. Both hoses and sleeves are very affordable. They can be defeated, maybe even fast, but they are exceptional now. It's always better if a thief must use many tools instead of one quick attack.
k1cky scotland - Here's an interesting stat for you. Last year more motorcycles were stolen in the UK than were sold brand-new. I think a lock-picking lawyer should be the last of your worries, even if he lived a couple of miles from you.
Anyone that wants to spend $25 on a nut splitter and rachet to steal a +$100 bike. If they get stopped by the police "I was just working on my car earlier officer."
I'm gonna guess: Start with law school. Study hard. Pick locks. Graduate! Yay! Study hard for the Bar exam. Pick the lock at the bar, drink all the booze. No exam! Yay! (ymmv)
Sad. What a great lock with a flat "chain" design so its tough for bolt cutters and then you have stupid rivets. . Theres ALWAYS a weak link. A 13 mm hardened chain with a shouldered shackle design and "pickless" lock will stop most anything but then you have to have a dolly attached to your bike to carry it!!
Hello, My aunt matilde always carries such an instrument in her bag, in case someone's bicycle can be stolen at any given moment. But I would like you to do a test with explosive Amonal, because it's faster and so my aunt can take less. Thank you.
Hello LockPickingLawyer Im sorry if i ask you this on wrong place and if i spell like an asshole! I liv in a stairwell with more appartments. If i wants to lock or unlock my door very quiet (No hard CLICK that everyone ear) What can i do? I have ALFA 7-pin (LC6? - stamped in) locking cylinder and cant change according to the roules from my landloard. This is in Sweden 90 degres right locks... 90 degres left unlock....

How did you prove it was yours?
@@Nickesponja what do you think
Damn, this thing is the real deal master key of all of these sorts of locks.
It’s starting to look that way.
@@lockpickinglawyer so you’re a fan of it’s nut splitting action?
I'm starting to fear the nut splitter.
As well you should be.
Starting? You should have already been afraid
Awesome. Thank you LPL. I believe that splitter would pop most, if not all rivets.
I agree, but we will keep testing them until we’re proven wrong. 👍
Are there any bike locks you actually recommend? I just don't have time to watch every one of your videos lol. I'd have to quit my job and then I wouldn't be able to afford a lock!
The only guy on youtube who can say nut splitter without laughing at the innuendo.
damn you to hell, you made me laugh
This is journalism. Thanks LPL.

Nut splitter is new ramset!
Would you consider doing some dead locks and 5 lever mortice locks and showing the differences between those and the standard pin tumbler locks we are used to?
This feels like a training video for thieves.
The power of a nut splitter...ouch!
These segmented locks are just awful piece of trash. I'm frustrated and disappointed. Thank you for saving me money.
You could run the nut splitter with a cordless impact driver
Perhaps, but they are crazy loud.
Wedges on both sides, slightly concave to prevent sliding off. A silent, accu-powered drivetrain. Frees the thief of eye-catching movements.
... BTW, I have used these a lot in my previous life as a mechanic.
A little moly lube on the threads may make life easier for you.
Already done... first thing I did. 👍 It’s expensive stuff, but worth every penny... just stay away from anything white.
true dat

It hurts me a little inside when I destroy ones. 😢
Nut Splitter 3 Bike locks 0 ! Great video brother. Loving this series!
LockPickingLawyer, what do you think about Rockbros WD795 resistance to picking?
What if it was hanging off a bike though and not in a vice like youd see in the wild?
Still waiting for the destructive attacks on the TOOOLs PacLock and the Mako 427 that you promised. Thanks for the great videos while I wait for these two.
All hail the mighty nut splitter! The Ramset has fallen.😜🍺😎✌
Not fallen... they both have their uses.

Sorry... Washington DC.
I wonder if the only fixes might be a 👐 redesign of the shackle, or use of much harder materials, both meaning a more expensive product.
Can you use this nut splitter to break through a u lock shackle?
Can you open that sort of lock core with just a paperclip/hair clip?
Where did you buy the nut splitter ?
eBay or Amazon most likely.
without holding the lock in a vice, it would be much more difficult to screw in the bolt cutter. The test should be repeated without a vice.
Would a heavy duty nut splitter break a hardened shackle or split a lock body?
I just don’t see how this design of lock can ever be strong enough to withstand a nut splitter.
I'm not entirely sure of that, however I suspect the question really is cost vs. strength. For example, if all the rivets were solid high-carbon steel hardened and tempered. Or perhaps had a free-spinning sleeve around the rivet. I believe you could ramp it up until it required the nut splitter design to be specifically customized for the task.
Sontar, you would have to garden and temper the rivet after installation, which would be difficult.
Hmm, hadn't considered that. Peening over a hardened rivet would be a challenge indeed. Really though, after watching you and others go through locks like a hot knife through butter, I think I'll stick with the tried and true security systems - provided by 'Very Large Rottie with an Attitude', a locally sourced green and renewable (self-replicating if you're not careful) defense method.
The rivets on this one aren't even solid. In fact, with the holes through the middle of them, you could probably drill them out.
If the links were totally flush with each other and had just huge overbuilt rivets then they'd stand a better chance. Hard to say whether or not it'd make them splitter proof though.
What a brilliant idea for a channel
please try to cut the hamburger lock using bolt cutter
How easy are these types of locks to open without one of those?
Have you ever tried the "axi home 3d" (french brand VACHETTE)? I cannot find a video of yours about this door lock.
Nope.
Wow you wouldn’t hear anything compared to a grinder. Scary!!
Oh, can this splitter bite a usual padlock or chain with 8 mm thick?
Depends on hardness.
why dont you place the nut splitter tool in the vice? would be easier and a bit more on the safe side
Because that’s not a plausible real world exploit.
A standard battery powered drill and a drill bit to drill out the rivet might be quicker
Might... particularly on this one.
Could you please - just maybe - try nut splitter attack on locking chains that have not welded links? Thank you!
Why bother? Two screw drivers will do the trick. I think I posted this on my twitter a while ago.
Did you practice speaking so clearly as part of law practice? Or is it something you’ve always done?
It helps that I think for a few minutes about what I want to say before.
law practice ?
Never lock your expensive bike near a bench vice :-)
lol!

I call it the Nut Buster it'll break a half inch steel Cluster
You should try to anchor one of those riveted bike lock and twist it with your pipewrench
It would work if the lever was long enough. But I may damage the bike.
There's NO chance for this kind of lock against nutsplitter. Especially in controlled enviroment and rockbros stable locked in an anvil
I would be more impressed if you did this free hand most thieves don't carry a bench vise around
No, not the nut splitter again! I am still cringing when I hear that!
😳
You should try it with a drill/driver, see how quickly you can get it open
Might be faster... but those things are seriously louder than the ramset!
Try using the nut splitter on a normal padlock!!
you said "the plastic", but I thought these were made out of steel all around.
There is a plastic coating on each link. If you watch closely you can see how it got mashed and exposed the steel underneath.
who in there right mind is going to carry a nut splitter and rachett in there poket
David Blakely a theif...
Anyone that wants to spend $25 on a nut splitter and rachet to steal a +$100 bike. If they get stopped by the police "I was just working on my car earlier officer."
Patrick: Anyone willing to steal $25 worth of nut splitter and rachet to steal a +$100 bike :P
Most women do... well, just the nut splitter. its standard equipment. 😋
I think putting Nut Splitter in the title would have got the video demonetised
Wonder what the nutsplitter would do to a padlock body in let's say brass.
I only watch for LPL pronunciation of garage. Not true it's great content.
Nut splitter 😎😏
How will I ever secure my bike for grocery store visits? 😭
Why not use a lighter and burn plastic?
There’s no need, apparently.
Can you text out the box lock that works on WiFi and scans barcodes on packages I want to see if it’s worthwhile
It's looks flimsy anyway. I think i could split that by bending with my hand.
Manas Das you're not far wrong. The links are zinc alloy... This lock is all style and no substance!
Those pop open if you just hit them with a hammer
How can I get a cool lawyer job like you? 😎
I'm gonna guess: Start with law school. Study hard. Pick locks. Graduate! Yay! Study hard for the Bar exam. Pick the lock at the bar, drink all the booze. No exam! Yay! (ymmv)
Are you a lawyer??
Bub Dog's What do you think? Yes he is but he doesn't say what type of lawyer.
Of course... people always think I was trying to be clever with my name. Nope. It’s quite literal.
Sad. What a great lock with a flat "chain" design so its tough for bolt cutters and then you have stupid rivets. . Theres ALWAYS a weak link.

Nice sweater. :)
As always, thank you LPL. :)
The best nut splitter is an ex wife lol
wonder if the male locks fear the nut splitter more than the female locks
Can we use the nut splitter on politicians?
It’s frowned upon.
