I wanted to address a couple recurring comments. Some have suggested that this attack wouldn’t be possible if the lock was attached to a bike because I wouldn’t have been able to use my body weight. I disagree. These are 28” cutters. There’s no logical locking point on the bike that wouldn’t allow the cutter to be braced on the ground. It may be helpful to watch the linked video in the description of the Ironman athlete attacking the lock. At 9:46 in the video his technique is analytically identical to my second cut. In addition, during my video I speculated that LiteLok’s testing may not have employed cable cutters designed to cut steel cables (only softer copper and aluminum). Some eagle-eyed viewers spotted a warning label on LiteLok’s cutters used in the ironman video saying “DO NOT CUT ACSR OR STEEL WIRE.” This seems to support my guess that, at least in that test, the tool used was inappropriate for the task.
I think there are a lot of hateful comments towards the company here (and towards their customers). What people are forgetting: No lock can withstand attacks from specialised tools for very long - the purpose of Sold Secure is to ensure they can withstand attack from concealable hand tools. If your bike is stolen from a Gold rated lock, your insurance company will pay out. If it is not, then they will not. A portable angle grinder will cut through pretty much any lock, including motorcycle locks that weigh 5 kg - bear in mind this lock weights 1.1 kg, that's around 1/10th the weight of my bike instead of 6/10th with my motorcycle lock. A bolt cutter of similar size will do a similar job against chain locks as well (on the order of one minute). To keep your bike safe, keep it out of sight of thieves or leave it in a location where they are unlikely to try anything and, for crying out loud, add it to your home insurance! p.s. can we see you go through hiplok next, as they are the main competitor?
With the bike attachment, perhaps the issue is that being attached to a bike somehow encourages to ribbon to twist in a way that makes cutting difficult? That seems unlikely, though.
@@elliotpollard9083 bit of a disingenuous argument there about specialized tools. i would hardly call steel cable cutters some kind of rare and unforeseen occurrence like you're implying. ima go out on a limb and say most bike locks are steel or steel cable; thus, a competent bike thief will likely have steel cutting tools on hand. this test was nothing but due diligence that the manufacturer should've done themselves.
I get a lot of comments telling me the same thing when I cut open thick shrouded padlocks with 42 inch bolt cutters. I proved this wrong by locking one padlock 6 feet in the air and yet still successfully breached it by bracing one handle of the cutters against my torso, and the other i pulled on with both arms. And I am quite the skinny one lol
It turns out that lockpicking lawyer has no idea how to pick locks this whole and has just been using his super human strength to twist them open with keyway tension alone
"as you can see, the police are powerless as I empty this banks vault. and while I can't recommend the vault safety systems, I can recommend the explosives I used to open it up. I will leave the affiliate link to the dark web below"
"In this case, I will be using a 660 grain copper pick a half inch in diameter that is powder actuated. The pick was developed by the late John Moses Browning for entry into difficult portable security solutions such as armored fortifications and to disassemble aircraft."
As an electrician, I can absolutely assure you that even a good quality “copper” cutter will cut steel (the first few times at least) with consummate ease, before becoming a little blunt. Steel cutters have a higher torsional strength and will cut steel happily all day long. I am not surprised by your finding whatsoever, and they have mirrored my own findings frequently. Excellent video, thank you.
my guess: if their testing was resulting in the tool get mangled, they were probably using *bolt* cutters, not cable cutters. cable cutters have shear blades that move past each other, bolt cutters don't.
And you win the prize. Check out the second Litelok vid in the description, thats exactly what they're doing. When I looked at it I knew something was off, but it didnt click till I read this.
I think I may have found the problem. They say the lock can "withstand sustained attacks from tools like cable cutters". Your attack was just too damn quick and wasn't sustained for any length of time..... :-)
Well, the statement is technically correct since a cable cutter in and on itself can't destroy the lock... They did not claim that "any moron wielding tools like a cable cutter can destroy the lock in X amount of minutes when using the provided tool properly" Except for the possibility of the existence of sentient cable cutters...
LiteLok lost all credibility with that claim. The wrong tool simply won't get through the cable regardless of time. The right tool took less than 17 seconds. They should have stuck with their original marketing message of how it resists "typical" bike theft tools instead of that iron man and 17 minute BS.
I watched about a minute of the 17 minute video. It was either a guy who was absolutely utterly inept. Or he was purposely acting dumb to make the lock look great.
In fairness, nobody else has the right cable cutters either. The market is saturated with sh_t products. Nobody other than LPL is cutting that cable because nobody other than LPL has cable cutters that good.
Slash resistant, not slash proof, not cut resistant - unless you’re dragging a bloody kitchen knife across it, slash resistance has almost nothing to do with locks
@@NolanRempel to be fair, slash resistant and stab resistant are very different things. Typically the concept behind those is that somebody coming across you won't take the time to stab and slowly cut open the bag...you'd notice it. But somebody trying to quickly slash it open and grab what falls out would be thwarted
The warning label is absolutely impossible to miss. I'll dare say they knew exactly what they were doing. What's next? Use a butter knife to prove resistance to angle grinder?
@@pflichtprogramm1 The thing is not really that they used electrical cutters (for copper and aluminum) as almost any good quality electrician shears for higher diameters cables will do the job. But the cutters that they used are pretty much trashed by heavy use. You can see that they yam and that happens because they are missaligned, either the blades are crooked or the nut/pin does not hold anymore. Maybe the nut purposefully loosened so they yam.
I do love when companies reach out to ask what failed or how it failed, it shows an interest in improving their product and I respect the hell out of that
thats pretty normal, he usually spends like 1 to 4 minutes on the packaging and 4 seconds on the lock. just wrap your bike in a ton of tape. tape and marker (non permanent).
That's a great response from the owner, sadly a rare one! I think you are correct re wrong or poorly adjusted cutters. The company is correct in assuming most will have these inferior tools and for steel cable it makes all the difference. That snapping cut sound was incredibly satisfying. I've never actually seen such a clean cut before on cables that size with a hand tool. EDIT: OK on closer inspection stuff em they delete all but the most kiss arse comments on their videos. Can't ever trust a company that does that .
Yeah, seeing a comment section in youtube w/o any negative comments or criticism... Clear as day for anyone using internet. They should just have blocked all the comments instead of this crap.
Its not a great response, its just a cheap way to distract from the fact that they did not show the truth. Of course they know, or if not, they are utterly incompetent - which is an equally bad sign if you want to trust them to make a safe lock.
Maker's Muse Your comment smacks of brown nosing BULLSHIT and nothing else ..... If you make a product you think you would not know what cutters are out there at a whopping 50 bucks that can cut your lock ... Did they not TEST their product... Their fucking lock is made from cables that they cut at their factory to make their locks they know EXACTLY what can slice through cables
"'Our tests proved that the strongest man in the world couldn't cut the cable with his preschool son's plastic safety scissors." They should have stuck with their original marketing message of how it resists "typical" bike theft tools instead of that iron man and 17 minute BS.
Something the lockpickinglawyer did not mention here: he had the lock on the ground and thus was able to use his BODYWEIGHT on top of his physical strength to open this lock. In real life scenarios the lock would be off the ground and that should be the proper way of testing it, or at least he should have conducted both tests to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the product. It is well known that you should keep chains of the ground to make it more difficult for criminals to attack.
“I think this is a great line of inquiry.” I love the way you talk. No superfluous language. You’re a smart guy. Thanks for the no-nonsense high quality videos.
It’s just a retail ladder game make cheap crap, then just crap, then nice looking crap, then shiny crap with a bunch of BS advertising built around it, then decent crap, then you make good crap. After the consumer has bought three or four of the Luanne logs and blaming themselves for trying to save money they start looking into the locks that are made to withstand at least the cheap tools used to defeat them. And finally have you purchased almost everything before you spend the big money to get the lock you should’ve bought in the first place the one you thought were ridiculously expensive and you would never spend that much money on Locking device. The goal is to produce a long-term continuous revenue stream. This is not just the lock manufactures it’s across the board for just about everything. If you buy an expensive bike and then go cheap on the lock expect to have neither in the future.
In the video where the Ironman Athlete attacks the lock you can clearly see the sticker on the yellow tool that says not to cut steel wire. It's only at the very end that he uses a tool that has any chance and even then it isn't the right tool for the job.
If you look at the wire cable cutter the LPL used, you can see that the design of the blades forces the cutting surfaces together instead of allowing the blades to splay apart. If the blades were shaped more like a scissor blade, the cutting force would have twisted the blades and allowed the wire rope to tangle.
Good eye!!! I had not noticed that... Best I can see, it says “DO NOT CUT ACSR & STEEL WIRE.” But I’m looking on my tiny phone screen. Can someone confirm?
Short answer: LPL is the sorta man you want involved in your quality control and design team. It is amazing to me to see this guy turn a hobby into a living, truly inspiring.
I mean that doesn't mean much because iron man athletes are endurance athletes not strength athletes. Someone i know has competed in several iron man races, but they cannot even do one push-up.
and im a random 15 year who does not leave the house unless forced and has gotten 0 on there push up test and 3-5 on there pullup tests for mutliple years in a row, so yeah they may be strong, but only in the right scienario
It's canon that lpl was banned from strongman and powerlifting for being "just too damn strong" and it has been put into question if he may in fact be the reincarnation of Hercules.
While I despise wanketing from companies like this, I will say that due to the frame rate of the camera, it can sometimes look like drills are spinning in the wrong direction during filming
@@shurdi3 yep, it's the same effect that makes car wheels look like they are spinning in reverse - the frame rate of the recording captures spokes/blades in a position slightly behind where it last recorded one on the previous frame, this makes it look like it's turning backwards when in reality it's turning forward at some rate just shy of a full multiple of rotation.
@@shurdi3 I know what you mean, but if you slow the video and watch very carefully as he starts/stops the drill motor, you see it start rotating counter clockwise, and every bit I've ever used requires clockwise for the cutting edge. Just look at the screw, he doesn't even scratch the surface
Cable Cutters Man, he's coming round, his cutting powers have no bounds. Cable Cutters all red and shit, he's pretty hot you must admit. His tools will surely make you drool, he's cutting up your cables fool!
"...or maybe I'm just strong as hell, yeah you know what? Let's go with that." Your evenhanded and methodical approach is very appreciated, but when you flex a little bit like that, it's very fun too.
Sadly most consumers don't get to se videos or critical reviews like this. Unless you do some investigation on your own, companies, governments, etc. will fool you.
@@ludvigdreng6315 Absolutely true. The litelok is a sexy product and will lure many with its looks and false advertising. But results from the LPL are starting to find their way onto Amazon from people like you and I.
@@jj04974 It still exists, funny thing though, they deleted every single negative comment. Only 7 comments left, every single one of which are bots (I went through the profiles of all of them subscribed to the same obscure youtubers - kinda fishy when half the commenters are subscribed to the same youtuber with 250 subs total)
Waldo Check the second link, one of the videos was taken down. And yeah, the company tries hard to hide the fact that a light weight lock just isn’t as good as a big bad boy...
@@jj04974 Hmm... Maybe they just restricted it so people from the USA can't see it? Second link is still up for me, in canada My theory - maybe most of LPL's subs are from america and most of the negative comments came from them so they just shut down access to america and a few other countries while leaving it up for everyone else? I've never heard of a company doing that, but they seem pretty sketch so they might figure out weird roundabout ways of hiding negative feedback.
I just watched one of their videos and you can see the guy isn't trying very hard. He never even tried attacking the lock itself. You put hardly any effort into it and distroid it. Always a pleasure to watch.
I love how much he stays right in the middle with all his arguments and speculations, never taking a side, giving benefit of the doubt, etc. This gives an incredible platform to talk about these things with tact
"The only sensible reason is I'm much stronger than all of them". This is harsher than full frontal assault. He shows that even with the best intentions and respect there is no way to save their bullshit.
Even after all this time, you took me by surprise with your dry humor at the end. I think debunking BS is a great public service. I don't believe the people at the lock company didn't know the reality of their product. I think they are just trying to save face, and attempt damage control. I'd like for them to prove me wrong, and I'll be the first to apologize. GOOD JOB LPL, more vids ... like this.
@@ThatOneBlackGuy it's doesn't seem weird to you that a company which specializes in locking mechanisms is seemingly unfamiliar with steel cable cutters versus regular cable cutters. It's bunk with the goal post being moved after being outed. 'oh our steel cable gets cut by steel cable cutters, well we'll just have to improve it on the next version. How did that happen, we had no idea that was possible we must learn from this'. It's hard to learn things you already knew and actively took advantage of. I don't know about you but I'd prefer to get a lock from a company that knows what steel cable cutters are and designs their locks with that in mind.
You are more forgiving of the company than I am. Their promotional videos cannot be anything other than a setup. They have a few comments all made at the same moment (presumably by themselves), and hide/delete all other comments. You may see your comment, but try going there when you're not logged in (private/incognito tab) and it will not be visible.
they have only 6 comments on the iron man video and they are all how legit the video is. i put a link to this video in the comments and am gonna see how long untill its deleted
@@newmarketdispatch4830 That's what I'm trying to say: it will NOT be deleted. They will block you which results in your comment being invisible to anyone but you.
by using cable cutters with the jaw blades too far apart (by extremely shitty manufacture or more likely by slipping a washer between the two and reassembling it) you would probably never get through.
@@TayTayChan Yeah, their video is set to "approved comments only" Nothing will show unless they let it, and they'll only approve positive comments... though, probably nothing at this point. XD
I think you nailed it. There can be no other reason than your immense strength. I had to go check the "iron man" video. Lol What a joke. After attacking the lock with hammers and butter knives, he uses a loosely adjusted cable cutters (they didn't even bother to remove the sticker that clearly says not to use on steel) and then has to struggle to prevent the cutters from cutting it. It was like watching one of those late night commercials where people struggle to use everyday items like toothpaste tubes. Lol
lol Just went back and watched the video. Holy shit you're right! There's literally a sticker on there that says do not use on steel. My god. For anyone else... imgur.com/T6qzDTC
I like those commercials where some guy holds a razor six inches from his face, then suddenly slashes himself. "Introducing the Shave Pro 9000, to prevent accidents by people with gross motor dysfunction."
@@axelblaze566 you might be new here. Or maybe you don't know LPL's full potential. LPL can unlock any lock in the universe just by his glare. Some cheap quality locks even melt with 1 glare. He uses tools so that lock dont melt and make a mess on his table. :)
It was here that LPL first started to notice his latent superpowers, which cause all locks to immediately yield. This was later confirmed in video 980, when LPL opened an Abus by asking nicely.
In fairness, nobody else has the right cable cutters either. The market is saturated with sh_t products. I wouldn't be surprised if LPL is the only person on this continent with cable cutters that capable. :)
@@OfTheiAm Or cable cutters that only cut 1 mm thick cable is more like it. So many consumer products today are sh_t quality and don't work as advertised.
yah welcome to the new world. Where bullshit and self editing is king...most people dont know the difference either. We live in a society of idiots and liars...
....logged out of my computer completely, logged back in, comment is still there. they probably just haven't gotten around to deleting it yet. can you see it?
You know, for a second I was still thinking, "well for what it is, that's still a pretty solid option, especially for a cheaper bike". But then I went to Amazon to look at it, and saw it was $150, that was a hard "No" from me. Even at half that cost, I would say it's expensive, but at $150, it's not even on the radar. If you need a lighter easy to use lock that is "Good enough in most cases", this seemed alright, until you realize the Abus Bordo 5700 is half this price, with far better protection, and even the Krytonite "fahgettaboudit" is significantly cheaper then this. This is one of those products that nearly priced itself out of the market.
Not nearly , 'has' priced itself out the market , everyone knows cables aren't great least if it's a 12mm cable if offers a least a tiny change , when this thin a rat can chew its way through , Iitelok must be a bunch of douchies designing this and wanting this much money for it .
4:21 "It may be that I'm just that much stronger than an Ironman athlete and everyone else who tested the lock. Infact now that I think about it, that must be the explanation." 🤣😂🤣 hahahaha!! Loved it great video!
ONE HUNDRED PUSH-UPS, ONE HUNDRED SITUPS, ONE HUNDRED SQUATS, A TEN KILOMETER RUN, and a click out of five, the lock is open. In any case, if you have any questions or comments about this, please put them below, and as always, have a nice day.
Iron man Athletes are endurance athletes and therefore not the best at procuring peak force! Every unfit American who weighs a lot can probably generate more force then almost every iron man athlete could just by leaning onto the cutter like lpl did!
I can't imagine some asian factory work struggling with a pair of bolt cutters but they definitely make a variety of tools and machines that can make short work of several 4 gauge wires in a cable
Negative comments influence negative sales lol a company did the same to me by censoring my review when i bough a bed frame i pointed out a 26 stone weight limit was false advertising and the bed legs sheered off when i was 22 stone after only 2 days. Reinforcedbeds. Co. Uk never published my review, i had picture evidence and video evidence of how much i weighed at the time of purchase, with reciept so i didnt just make it up, to prove they are in the wrong, not me. They did part refund £175 of the £200 as they claimed i used it and they cant re-sell it so that was closure for me, but if they refused refund i could have taken them to court for endangering my health and safety. They obviously mulled over my review and stopped selling that bedframe not long after. I dont think it was coincidence lol Luckily the bed base is decent enough, i still have it, i prop it up on sawhorses. As a result i have the strongest bed frame for £30 as the sawhorses i got from college for extra £5, has lasted me over 5 years no sign of failing again lol Negative comments do have positive impact, sometimes
That is actually *really* cool that the company owner actually reached out not to try to argue with your findings but to ask what went wrong. Props to them!
Forgot to mention the length of the cutters!!! Could easily contribute - try changing a tire with just a 1/2 inch ratchet vs a breaker bar. If they used dinky toy cutters that were shorter would be an explanation
He indeed uses shorter ones. He has enough strength to close them though, so the problem must be in the blades. These CUT. Check how the wrapping is cleanly cut. It means the blades are not even hard, but also sharp and well aligned.
I just watched the first video and I’m pretty sure the cutters they used don’t have the hook that LPL’s have. I’d also bet their’s have a tendency to splay apart like scissors do when cutting something too thick or stiff. The blades were definitely different in shape at a minimum.
@@lockpickinglawyer Not that I disagree with the results of this, BUT how much force could you have applied if you didn't brace one handle against the ground? A little different if it's at knee height and not lying on the ground conveniently positioned to brace your tool handle.
Squire Lock forging ahead with the production of that lock now... ...and the next episode: "This is the Lock Picking Lawyer, and Bosnian Bill and I are at the US Army Aberdeen Proving Ground to test the Squire 61,000 quad core padlock, weighing in at a beefy 965 pounds, against munitions." "Unfortunately, LPL, this lock would probably stop many multiple .50 calibre rounds, but the master tech sergeants here have a plan to test this monster lock." "Right, Bill, we just shot a few belts of .50 calibre into this beast..." (plays previously recorded video, cuts to barely scarred and undamaged Squire 61,000 lock), "and as you can see, nothing doing, so now, the master tech sergeants will pull out a blast from the past, and see how we proceed." "And by "blast from the past", folks, LPL really means it!" "Gentlemen, I'm Master Technical Sergeant Hulka - here's the Davy Crockett that we'll use for this test..." "Um, Sergeant Hulka, what is that truck pulling up for?" "Well, LPL, Bill, this truck contains twenty more Davy Crocketts - and for the Fourth of July fireworks show here, we're going to fire a 21 gun salute at the Squire lock here." "And if that doesn't work?" "We got Plainly Difficult to provide us a UK Ministry of Defence "Project: Blue Peacock" device, complete with chickens and feed, and a remote tampering device so we can activate it when we want to." "Sergeant, if that doesn't work, what then?" "Well, Bill, you can see Plainly Difficult installing that RBMK nuclear reactor over there, right? He's going to be ready in two days to re-enact Chernobyl, with this bad boy right on top of the core!"
Your video was so much appreciated. I'm sure most of us with expensive bike would like to see the best security you have to show us for our bikes. You are so awesome. love your videos❤️
Recently found this channel. I dont have a lot of interest in lock picking and most of the UA-cam content I watch is much longer (20 minutes or more) but I cant stop watching random videos from this channel. Couldn't figure out what it was that kept bringing me back. Then I watched this video, it's the humility of LPL lol
I have just returned from the Cycle Show in Alexandra Palace, London where Litelok had an exhibition stand. I talked to the representative who talked about the Litelok Core Flex. I mentioned that I have seen UA-cam Videos (not this one) of regular U-Locks and Large Cable Locks being broken easily (I did not get to say in 10 seconds). I asked how long does it take to get into LiteLok, he said that regular Locks take 20 seconds and that Litelok takes twice as long. He said during the Show they were offering a £15 off discount on all their locks (I guess 1 second = £1 as per your video) so instead of £110 it would cost £95 for the Litelok Core. I did not purchase and shall stick to my very old Abus U-Lock on my unwashed Bicycle. Thanks for the video.
I mean it seems like a lot of people think things are impossible to do. But once you've done enough things, you've seen a lot of shit and not much is really surprising anymore
I don't buy the "they want to understand and improve their product", but rather " they want to look like they want to understand and improve their product". Aka typical social media damage control.
Another explanation could be how you used the cutter on the lock. They could have had the lock attached to a bike making it harder to get as much leverage out of the cutters because they could not put one end on the ground and use both hands and their body weight to push down the other end. I think this would also allow the cutter to twist more and thus have a harder time cutting the flexible wires. Idk just a thought.
this reminds me of the "in living color" karate sketch with jim carrey, where he plays a karate instructor. he tells a student to attack him with a knife, carrey gets stabbed, and he goes "you're attacking me THE WRONG WAY YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO ATTACK LIKE THIS"
Sadly that is far more true to life than most people think. The anti-grabs taught in self defense classes are only useful in specific holds, and using the wrong one has actually killed the person using it before. For anti-weapon reactions, most are designed to go against someone who is threatening you with a knife or gun, not attacking you with one. For those that do target people attacking you most people freezing in real world scenarios, and when they don't the muscle memory doesn't always match up with the attack preventing the defense from working. Source: taught basic self defense techniques from the military and taught by my cousin who is a former martial arts instructor. No I have never had to use either in real life and would definitely become a statistic if I did.
@@akatoshslayer7599 from what I learned at a self defense course, the opponent who uses the knives is probably untrained, so we expect mostly simple stabbing, rather than slashing
5 Gold Stars. You must be stronger than those other guys. (hihihi) Your explanation of the cutting tool you used, the proper adjustment of the blades and the fact that your cable cutting tool is designed to cut steel cable (rather than Copper and Aluminum) are the explanation (retired engineer with 37 years practice). Well Done Mr LPL (JD)
I've heard rumors that LPL could see in the dark. He only sleeps an hour each night. When the moon was full he would talk in his sleep, speaking a strange language no one could understand.
I'm going to throw in my experience as an engineer and say that technique counts over strength when using most hand tools. I've seen a guy twice my strength struggle with a power drill simply because he wasn't holding it correctly and likewise, I don't think most people would think to use their feet or their body weight with a 'hand' tool as in this video which I think gave a very good advantage.

I wanted to address a couple recurring comments.
Some have suggested that this attack wouldn’t be possible if the lock was attached to a bike because I wouldn’t have been able to use my body weight. I disagree. These are 28” cutters. There’s no logical locking point on the bike that wouldn’t allow the cutter to be braced on the ground. It may be helpful to watch the linked video in the description of the Ironman athlete attacking the lock. At 9:46 in the video his technique is analytically identical to my second cut.
In addition, during my video I speculated that LiteLok’s testing may not have employed cable cutters designed to cut steel cables (only softer copper and aluminum). Some eagle-eyed viewers spotted a warning label on LiteLok’s cutters used in the ironman video saying “DO NOT CUT ACSR OR STEEL WIRE.” This seems to support my guess that, at least in that test, the tool used was inappropriate for the task.
I think there are a lot of hateful comments towards the company here (and towards their customers). What people are forgetting: No lock can withstand attacks from specialised tools for very long - the purpose of Sold Secure is to ensure they can withstand attack from concealable hand tools. If your bike is stolen from a Gold rated lock, your insurance company will pay out. If it is not, then they will not.
A portable angle grinder will cut through pretty much any lock, including motorcycle locks that weigh 5 kg - bear in mind this lock weights 1.1 kg, that's around 1/10th the weight of my bike instead of 6/10th with my motorcycle lock. A bolt cutter of similar size will do a similar job against chain locks as well (on the order of one minute).
To keep your bike safe, keep it out of sight of thieves or leave it in a location where they are unlikely to try anything and, for crying out loud, add it to your home insurance!
p.s. can we see you go through hiplok next, as they are the main competitor?
With the bike attachment, perhaps the issue is that being attached to a bike somehow encourages to ribbon to twist in a way that makes cutting difficult? That seems unlikely, though.
@@elliotpollard9083 bit of a disingenuous argument there about specialized tools. i would hardly call steel cable cutters some kind of rare and unforeseen occurrence like you're implying. ima go out on a limb and say most bike locks are steel or steel cable; thus, a competent bike thief will likely have steel cutting tools on hand. this test was nothing but due diligence that the manufacturer should've done themselves.
I get a lot of comments telling me the same thing when I cut open thick shrouded padlocks with 42 inch bolt cutters. I proved this wrong by locking one padlock 6 feet in the air and yet still successfully breached it by bracing one handle of the cutters against my torso, and the other i pulled on with both arms. And I am quite the skinny one lol

And powered by the power of friendship.

As an electrician, I can absolutely assure you that even a good quality “copper” cutter will cut steel (the first few times at least) with consummate ease, before becoming a little blunt. Steel cutters have a higher torsional strength and will cut steel happily all day long. I am not surprised by your finding whatsoever, and they have mirrored my own findings frequently. Excellent video, thank you.
Aye, been through steel armoured cable with the wrong tools many a time, no surprise that good quality shears made short work of this.

my guess: if their testing was resulting in the tool get mangled, they were probably using *bolt* cutters, not cable cutters. cable cutters have shear blades that move past each other, bolt cutters don't.
Probably.
Why woučd they say they are using cable cutters then? Idk man
And you win the prize. Check out the second Litelok vid in the description, thats exactly what they're doing. When I looked at it I knew something was off, but it didnt click till I read this.
If that's what happened, then that test had no evaluation value at all. If you're testing a product, you must at least use the proper tool.
@@EvilXtianity well a good bolt cutter will cut those cables without a problem.
I think I may have found the problem. They say the lock can "withstand sustained attacks from tools like cable cutters". Your attack was just too damn quick and wasn't sustained for any length of time..... :-)
I'm impressed by your sneaky loop-hole talk.
Haha! Note they say the lock stands up to tools that are LIKE cable cutters. But if they actually ARE cable cutters...
@@jamesg1367 good point.
Well, the statement is technically correct since a cable cutter in and on itself can't destroy the lock... They did not claim that "any moron wielding tools like a cable cutter can destroy the lock in X amount of minutes when using the provided tool properly"
Except for the possibility of the existence of sentient cable cutters...
@@eulemitbeule5426 Another good point.
"There is no bike lock in the world that can withstand a seventeen-minite attack... *from someone who knows what they're doing*." Shots fired.
A thermal lance gets through huge pieces of steel in a few minutes. Your move bike lock companies.
LiteLok lost all credibility with that claim. The wrong tool simply won't get through the cable regardless of time. The right tool took less than 17 seconds. They should have stuck with their original marketing message of how it resists "typical" bike theft tools instead of that iron man and 17 minute BS.

The cable cutters in the linked "Ironman" video say "DO NOT CUT ACSR & STEEL WIRE" right on the frickin handle. What a con.

@@pflichtprogramm1 The thing is not really that they used electrical cutters (for copper and aluminum) as almost any good quality electrician shears for higher diameters cables will do the job. But the cutters that they used are pretty much trashed by heavy use. You can see that they yam and that happens because they are missaligned, either the blades are crooked or the nut/pin does not hold anymore. Maybe the nut purposefully loosened so they yam.

That awkward moment where LPL seems to spend more time lining up the second cut than he took making both cuts XD
thats pretty normal, he usually spends like 1 to 4 minutes on the packaging and 4 seconds on the lock.
just wrap your bike in a ton of tape. tape and marker (non permanent).
He could also have used a lot less effort by cutting one cable at a time instead of three...but that would have taken too many extra seconds.
The setup for a job is the most important part of a job.
It'd probably take a bit longer if the lock was locking a bike to something, but not much.
That's a great response from the owner, sadly a rare one! I think you are correct re wrong or poorly adjusted cutters. The company is correct in assuming most will have these inferior tools and for steel cable it makes all the difference. That snapping cut sound was incredibly satisfying. I've never actually seen such a clean cut before on cables that size with a hand tool. EDIT: OK on closer inspection stuff em they delete all but the most kiss arse comments on their videos. Can't ever trust a company that does that .
Maker's Muse Hi Angus it's nice to see you in the comments
Yeah, seeing a comment section in youtube w/o any negative comments or criticism... Clear as day for anyone using internet. They should just have blocked all the comments instead of this crap.
Its not a great response, its just a cheap way to distract from the fact that they did not show the truth. Of course they know, or if not, they are utterly incompetent - which is an equally bad sign if you want to trust them to make a safe lock.
their comment absolutely reeks of damage control
Maker's Muse Your comment smacks of brown nosing BULLSHIT and nothing else ..... If you make a product you think you would not know what cutters are out there at a whopping 50 bucks that can cut your lock ... Did they not TEST their product... Their fucking lock is made from cables that they cut at their factory to make their locks they know EXACTLY what can slice through cables
"How did you achieve this? Our tests with scissors showed it was indestructible."
"Have you tried better scissors?"
"'Our tests proved that the strongest man in the world couldn't cut the cable with his preschool son's plastic safety scissors." They should have stuck with their original marketing message of how it resists "typical" bike theft tools instead of that iron man and 17 minute BS.
Something the lockpickinglawyer did not mention here: he had the lock on the ground and thus was able to use his BODYWEIGHT on top of his physical strength to open this lock. In real life scenarios the lock would be off the ground and that should be the proper way of testing it, or at least he should have conducted both tests to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the product. It is well known that you should keep chains of the ground to make it more difficult for criminals to attack.

“I think this is a great line of inquiry.”
I love the way you talk. No superfluous language. You’re a smart guy. Thanks for the no-nonsense high quality videos.
There are two types of thieves: those who steal bikes and those who misrepresent the locks they sell to bike owners.
That's harsh but certainly not wrong.
I guess many people selling locks in bike shops just don't know much better.
It’s just a retail ladder game make cheap crap, then just crap, then nice looking crap, then shiny crap with a bunch of BS advertising built around it, then decent crap, then you make good crap. After the consumer has bought three or four of the Luanne logs and blaming themselves for trying to save money they start looking into the locks that are made to withstand at least the cheap tools used to defeat them. And finally have you purchased almost everything before you spend the big money to get the lock you should’ve bought in the first place the one you thought were ridiculously expensive and you would never spend that much money on Locking device. The goal is to produce a long-term continuous revenue stream. This is not just the lock manufactures it’s across the board for just about everything. If you buy an expensive bike and then go cheap on the lock expect to have neither in the future.
In the video where the Ironman Athlete attacks the lock you can clearly see the sticker on the yellow tool that says not to cut steel wire. It's only at the very end that he uses a tool that has any chance and even then it isn't the right tool for the job.
You can also see daylight through the closed jaws of that tool. They ground the fucking blades off.
If you look at the wire cable cutter the LPL used, you can see that the design of the blades forces the cutting surfaces together instead of allowing the blades to splay apart. If the blades were shaped more like a scissor blade, the cutting force would have twisted the blades and allowed the wire rope to tangle.
Yup, wrong tools and wrong bloke. I feel like an 8 year old would have done better with a rock.
It's 8:20 in the 'Pritch' Ironman Athlete video.
Good eye!!! I had not noticed that... Best I can see, it says “DO NOT CUT ACSR & STEEL WIRE.” But I’m looking on my tiny phone screen. Can someone confirm?
Short answer: LPL is the sorta man you want involved in your quality control and design team. It is amazing to me to see this guy turn a hobby into a living, truly inspiring.
He is a lawyer as well...
I think it's because you weren't paid off like the "other" people.
LOL. But, to be fair, I think he's the kind of person who doesn't accept bribes.
He says in the video there were independent tests of the lock and in them the cutting shears didn't cut the lock, so...

if you slow down the drill part in the 17 minute video, he has the drill turning backwards ,which is why the bit doesnt even scratch it
While I despise wanketing from companies like this, I will say that due to the frame rate of the camera, it can sometimes look like drills are spinning in the wrong direction during filming
@@shurdi3 yep, it's the same effect that makes car wheels look like they are spinning in reverse - the frame rate of the recording captures spokes/blades in a position slightly behind where it last recorded one on the previous frame, this makes it look like it's turning backwards when in reality it's turning forward at some rate just shy of a full multiple of rotation.
@@shurdi3 I know what you mean, but if you slow the video and watch very carefully as he starts/stops the drill motor, you see it start rotating counter clockwise, and every bit I've ever used requires clockwise for the cutting edge. Just look at the screw, he doesn't even scratch the surface

You know, for a second I was still thinking, "well for what it is, that's still a pretty solid option, especially for a cheaper bike". But then I went to Amazon to look at it, and saw it was $150, that was a hard "No" from me. Even at half that cost, I would say it's expensive, but at $150, it's not even on the radar. If you need a lighter easy to use lock that is "Good enough in most cases", this seemed alright, until you realize the Abus Bordo 5700 is half this price, with far better protection, and even the Krytonite "fahgettaboudit" is significantly cheaper then this. This is one of those products that nearly priced itself out of the market.
Not nearly , 'has' priced itself out the market , everyone knows cables aren't great least if it's a 12mm cable if offers a least a tiny change , when this thin a rat can chew its way through , Iitelok must be a bunch of douchies designing this and wanting this much money for it .

Reinforcedbeds. Co. Uk never published my review, i had picture evidence and video evidence of how much i weighed at the time of purchase, with reciept so i didnt just make it up, to prove they are in the wrong, not me. They did part refund £175 of the £200 as they claimed i used it and they cant re-sell it so that was closure for me, but if they refused refund i could have taken them to court for endangering my health and safety.
They obviously mulled over my review and stopped selling that bedframe not long after. I dont think it was coincidence lol
Luckily the bed base is decent enough, i still have it, i prop it up on sawhorses. As a result i have the strongest bed frame for £30 as the sawhorses i got from college for extra £5, has lasted me over 5 years no sign of failing again lol
Negative comments do have positive impact, sometimes

Forgot to mention the length of the cutters!!! Could easily contribute - try changing a tire with just a 1/2 inch ratchet vs a breaker bar. If they used dinky toy cutters that were shorter would be an explanation
He indeed uses shorter ones. He has enough strength to close them though, so the problem must be in the blades. These CUT. Check how the wrapping is cleanly cut. It means the blades are not even hard, but also sharp and well aligned.
I just watched the first video and I’m pretty sure the cutters they used don’t have the hook that LPL’s have. I’d also bet their’s have a tendency to splay apart like scissors do when cutting something too thick or stiff. The blades were definitely different in shape at a minimum.
I don’t think length played a significant role. I’m informed that the Sold Secure tool list specifies 600mm cutters... roughly 24”. My tool was 28”.
@@lockpickinglawyer Not that I disagree with the results of this, BUT how much force could you have applied if you didn't brace one handle against the ground? A little different if it's at knee height and not lying on the ground conveniently positioned to brace your tool handle.
@@lockpickinglawyer that's what she said
Id suggest that the Ironman redo the test but this time in moccasins, that was clearly an unfair advantage on your part.

LiteLok: nooo, you can’t just cut our high end bike lock open with simple hand tools
LPL: hahaha, cable cutter go crunch
That was a very satisfying crunch too.

Squire Lock forging ahead with the production of that lock now...
...and the next episode:
"This is the Lock Picking Lawyer, and Bosnian Bill and I are at the US Army Aberdeen Proving Ground to test the Squire 61,000 quad core padlock, weighing in at a beefy 965 pounds, against munitions."
"Unfortunately, LPL, this lock would probably stop many multiple .50 calibre rounds, but the master tech sergeants here have a plan to test this monster lock."
"Right, Bill, we just shot a few belts of .50 calibre into this beast..." (plays previously recorded video, cuts to barely scarred and undamaged Squire 61,000 lock), "and as you can see, nothing doing, so now, the master tech sergeants will pull out a blast from the past, and see how we proceed."
"And by "blast from the past", folks, LPL really means it!"
"Gentlemen, I'm Master Technical Sergeant Hulka - here's the Davy Crockett that we'll use for this test..."
"Um, Sergeant Hulka, what is that truck pulling up for?"
"Well, LPL, Bill, this truck contains twenty more Davy Crocketts - and for the Fourth of July fireworks show here, we're going to fire a 21 gun salute at the Squire lock here."
"And if that doesn't work?"
"We got Plainly Difficult to provide us a UK Ministry of Defence "Project: Blue Peacock" device, complete with chickens and feed, and a remote tampering device so we can activate it when we want to."
"Sergeant, if that doesn't work, what then?"
"Well, Bill, you can see Plainly Difficult installing that RBMK nuclear reactor over there, right? He's going to be ready in two days to re-enact Chernobyl, with this bad boy right on top of the core!"
Carefully circling around the potentially libelous "because your tests were bullshit lies" answer.

Your video was so much appreciated. I'm sure most of us with expensive bike would like to see the best security you have to show us for our bikes. You are so awesome. love your videos❤️
"Let's head down to the garage." Yeah, that lock's screwed.
You can hear the lock start to whimper and say, "Mr. Stark, I don't want to go..."
Recently found this channel. I dont have a lot of interest in lock picking and most of the UA-cam content I watch is much longer (20 minutes or more) but I cant stop watching random videos from this channel. Couldn't figure out what it was that kept bringing me back. Then I watched this video, it's the humility of LPL lol
The ironman athlete attacks it with a butter knife for the first minute... YEAH DEFINITELY A SOLID TEST
I have just returned from the Cycle Show in Alexandra Palace, London where Litelok had an exhibition stand.
I talked to the representative who talked about the Litelok Core Flex.
I mentioned that I have seen UA-cam Videos (not this one) of regular U-Locks and Large Cable Locks being broken easily (I did not get to say in 10 seconds).
I asked how long does it take to get into LiteLok, he said that regular Locks take 20 seconds and that Litelok takes twice as long.
He said during the Show they were offering a £15 off discount on all their locks (I guess 1 second = £1 as per your video) so instead of £110 it would cost £95 for the Litelok Core.
I did not purchase and shall stick to my very old Abus U-Lock on my unwashed Bicycle.
Thanks for the video.
I like how he never gets surprised when shit just goes down in no time. Literally makes the first cut in seconds and says nothing 😂
I mean it seems like a lot of people think things are impossible to do. But once you've done enough things, you've seen a lot of shit and not much is really surprising anymore
Ngl the cable looks flimsy as hell. I wouldn't be surprised either. I'd probably laugh though.

@Russell White I was trying to be sarcastic AF
Another explanation could be how you used the cutter on the lock. They could have had the lock attached to a bike making it harder to get as much leverage out of the cutters because they could not put one end on the ground and use both hands and their body weight to push down the other end. I think this would also allow the cutter to twist more and thus have a harder time cutting the flexible wires. Idk just a thought.
this reminds me of the "in living color" karate sketch with jim carrey, where he plays a karate instructor. he tells a student to attack him with a knife, carrey gets stabbed, and he goes "you're attacking me THE WRONG WAY YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO ATTACK LIKE THIS"
Jim Carrey as Cable Cutter Guy
Sadly that is far more true to life than most people think. The anti-grabs taught in self defense classes are only useful in specific holds, and using the wrong one has actually killed the person using it before. For anti-weapon reactions, most are designed to go against someone who is threatening you with a knife or gun, not attacking you with one. For those that do target people attacking you most people freezing in real world scenarios, and when they don't the muscle memory doesn't always match up with the attack preventing the defense from working.
Source: taught basic self defense techniques from the military and taught by my cousin who is a former martial arts instructor. No I have never had to use either in real life and would definitely become a statistic if I did.
@@akatoshslayer7599 from what I learned at a self defense course, the opponent who uses the knives is probably untrained, so we expect mostly simple stabbing, rather than slashing
On their yellow cutter was clearly written:
DO NOT
CUT ACSR & STEEL WIRE
"Iron Man Athlete"
Ah yes, the famously burly and beefy distance runner
5 Gold Stars. You must be stronger than those other guys. (hihihi) Your explanation of the cutting tool you used, the proper adjustment of the blades and the fact that your cable cutting tool is designed to cut steel cable (rather than Copper and Aluminum) are the explanation (retired engineer with 37 years practice). Well Done Mr LPL (JD)

Since when do we use “Ironman athlete” as a standard for strength; they’re great athletes but they’re not strength athletes.
Mm that’s what we use mr Olympus gor
Marketing I guess. "Ironman" sounds "tough". 😂
Yeah, I would think they have more stamina than strength.
There is IronMan level strength an there is LPL level strength. That lock never stood a chance.
Exactly! The IronMan is an endurance sport.... ironically.
So he's stronger than an iron man athlete and he's got an 18" Johnson...lol
an 18 inch Johnson is impressive but pales to his Fathers full 24 inch Johnson
LOCK COMPANIES HATE HIM; use this one simple trick to become 60x stronger than an ironman athlete
When you broke that lock it sounded like someone was crunching on potato chips!😆 No lock is a match for Cable Cut Man!
They made the ad *PRIVATE*! The ad to the product, private! 😂

I've heard rumors that LPL could see in the dark. He only sleeps an hour each night. When the moon was full he would talk in his sleep, speaking a strange language no one could understand.
I'm going to throw in my experience as an engineer and say that technique counts over strength when using most hand tools. I've seen a guy twice my strength struggle with a power drill simply because he wasn't holding it correctly and likewise, I don't think most people would think to use their feet or their body weight with a 'hand' tool as in this video which I think gave a very good advantage.
