    This shows why most consumer locks locks don't bother too much with pick resistance. As long as bolt cutters and angle grinders exist, few criminals are going to bother feeling for a click on three.

    • @sumdud2129
      @sumdud2129 2 ปีที่แล้ว +278

      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.

    It's worth mentioning that the fancy new Ryobi batteries for brushless tools seem a bit over sensitive to tripping on high current than the older style lithium batteries. A beefy 4 or 5Ah battery might cut out less.

      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.

      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.

    I occasionally helped a good friend of mine who was a locksmith, He showed me a far cheaper way to get through brass bodied padlocks, as you demonstrated a hardened shackle will damage the blades on your bolt cutter so we used his biggest bolt cutter, probably the biggest one you could buy, and we actually just cut the brass body of the lock from the bottom (key way) up. Brass being a softer metal tended to do less damage to the bolt cutter blades and was usually just as fast with less effort than cutting a shackle.
    Could you demonstrate that method and see how it goes for you. FYI we never used it of steel bodied locks.

      @@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.

    The material on the Squire lock shackle is amazing. When the material you're trying to cut is harder than the material of the blade you're cutting with, it will fail regardless how sharp the blade is, where target is placed on the blade, how much juice in the battery, or pressure you you put on it. The softer material will either bend, crack, or break off instead of biting through the harder material. Thank you for another informative and enjoyable video. Have a great day.

Even on it's slowest position it shoots out the caulk at too fast of speed for doing simple caulking and I use a regular caulking gun instead. Where it would come in handy, however, is using a Liquid Nails kind of glue to glue plywood to joists and that kind of thing.

    I work for a scrap metal company, when you said “I suspect this will be soft” about the “security” padlock, I could hear that it’s pretty solid. The main way we can tell if a metal is soft is by scraping it with a blade made of a metal whose hardness is widely known, eg copper plumbing or roofing iron, the less common but just as effective method is what the metal sounds like under pressure, a basic rule is the higher the pitch, the harder the metal. Of course there are exceptions, but between these two rules, a decent perception of colour and a strong magnet, you can determine the approximate makeup of any metal

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.

    I really love the change of pace with this video. And while I've had a lot of Ryobi tools, electric ones obviously, I'm fascinated they would even make a product like this but as a person who once had a part-time job at a storage unit facility, we had to cut off quite a few locks as part of the Prelude to auction on units that have not been paid for. Forgetting all the other stuff that had to go on, it would have been a cool toy but a pair of good bolt cutters will do the job real quick anyway. I was the guy who used to cut off the lock so I know including the really cool ones. 18 to 24 inch bolt cutter for pretty much go through anything. Just got to know where to place them. I'm surprised they don't offer a premium set of Jaws for that thing that are made out of God only knows what alloy that could really do some incredible damage

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.

    Also, a trick which can be picked up from the use of secateurs to cut seasoned one inch branches or those in excess of an inch in diameter, it's always rotating the blades around the object you are cutting as you cut. This progressively reduced circumference and diameter of the material as you go and removes obstruction.

      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.

      We've got at least four of these Ryobi bolt cutters for just that purpose in our yard. Only ONE of the cutters blades are close enough to actually cut all the way through anything. The rest of the "cutters" basically just mangle them apart. You get about 80% of the way through the bolt and then have to twist and pry them the rest of the way apart. We used to use bolt cutters by Greenlee which were significantly better, but stupidly expensive and our drivers are always dropping them and breaking them. The Ryobi make more sense, but you have to make sure the blades touch when the jaws are closed, the LPL's were pretty close but still could have been a couple hairs closer.

      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.

      @@ChristopherHallett I've found that for most of the common tools, there's more value with Ryobi. They seem to last about 75% al long and cost half as much as the bigger name Pro-sumer brands. You can afford to keep a spare drill or three, and having three of them really speeds things up doing tedious work where you otherwise would be constantly changing bits. Also nice that they have used interchangeable batteries for 20 years.
