[765] How Tough are Master Lock’s Boron Carbide Shackles?

"Let's head out to the garage"

The death knell of any lock.

I love how you deliver on what you promise in a video. Show lock, explain lock, open lock. No unnecessary filler. It feels like you value my time. Thanks.

Against most locks: let’s exploit this lock’s weakness.

Against Master Lock: let’s target this lock’s strength.

When Master Lock execs have nightmares, they hear that calm voice telling them to Have a Nice Day.

Master Lock: "we made our newest locks out of adamantium, noone ist gonna..."
LPL:"lets head into the Garage"
Master Lock *Starts sweating*

[ChinaLake]

This guy literally ruins my hope in every lock

[ScreamerProductionss]

What I've learned from this channel is that if someone really wants your shit, they're gonna get it no matter how you try to protect it.

One advantage of the hex shackles is that it takes 2 cuts, whereas round shackles would only require one, and then it could be spun out of the way..

Anyone else feel like they needed safety glasses while watching this?

"So here we have Master Lock's new M-9000 armored model, let's see how it resists to an anti-tank shaped charge"
_shoots rocket_ "OK so we did get in relatively quickly..."

Some interesting factoids I thought might be interesting to share here:
Boron Carbide is the material used in trauma plates, which are the armour inserts used in modern body armour. Its Vicker's hardness is 38 gigapascals. It's the third hardest known substance.
Something interesting to know about "hard" objects. The harder something is, the less it can deform before it will fracture or shatter. Its yield strength and tensile strength are very close together. Glass is very hard, but it will shatter before it can deform very much.
This is partially why body armour isn't just plates of boron carbide. Aramids(like kevlar) are not hard. They have a high tensile strength, but they will deform easily(you can deform kevlar with your hand, by folding it). Thus, when a rifle hits an armoured vest, the plate will absorb most of the shock and shatter, and the fabric vest will catch the fragments. In theory.

4:30 Did LPL just pick a masterlock with a pair of boltcutters?

Hope you get a kickback, you just sold me a hydraulic bolt cutter, lol.

[MichaelMa]

I don't know why I keep watching his videos. I haven't used a lock or a traditional key in years. My car is remote keyless. And almost all homes in South Korea use RFID/keypad combinations. Yes, I'm sure he could just walk right in with a big magnet.

There's no defence now that the battery angle grinder has been invented.

This test highlighted some shortcomings of the hydraulic cutter more than the locks. Those blades need proper guides so they can't go skew.

[WELLINGTON]

Those cutters put out 12 tons (24, 000lbs) of force.
I was apart of the marketing team that designed and first sold these cutters.
They are actually hydraulic rebar cutters.
We made these cutters, aswell as a smaller design the YQK-70 with its chassis used for wire crimping. The small version can put out 12, 000lbs (6 tons) of force about half as much as the rebar cutter. You can get a mini one to put in your pocket, and change out the crimping end tool with the rebar cutter end and get a small concealable hydraulic mini bolt cutters.
We eventually after several prototypes, sold the patents for the rebar cutter and wire crimps to the Chinese.

Take-away from this video:
1 - Put a pair of these bolt-cutters in your "Zombie-Apocalypse-Backpack"
2 - Wear eye-protection
