[471] The Top Ten Biggest and Baddest Padlocks

[lockpickinglawyer]

At 7:30, I misspoke... the shackle is 18mm, not 18 inches!

LPL: "It's above my current skill level"
Me: "That's all I need to know"

[connorb]

LPL is the perfect youtuber. Regular uploading, highly informative, fan interaction, entertaining, no bullshit. His videos waste absolutely no time. Everything you want, nothing you dont.

[mattshicks]

I agree, military musicians should be locked up at all times.

We used those Sargent & Greenleaf locks on a restricted area on an Air Force contract I used to work on; the guy lost the keys. We ended up cutting the door open with a demolition saw and replacing the door. We eventually recovered the keys and the lock was re-used. Those things are amazing.

[besteversaw]

Once locks get this beefy it is easier to just cut what ever they are attached to.

Abus 27RK/80 with Abus Plus core.
LPL "Beyond my current abilities"
me: woah.

[DrLongWang]

I’d like to think these videos aren’t scripted at all and this man has an encyclopedic knowledge of every video he’s ever made

[ThePCguy]

"...for locking up military musicians..."

My dad, a former military musician: "Can confirm. Those fuckers were a pain."

[Tyiriel]

"Certainly above my skill level.."
2.5 years has passed since then, and the bosnianbillanimade tool has been invented.

Wow, the rotalock is really a nice little piece of engineering. They looked at the problem and really tried to solve it. I'm impressed.

[bogosbinted]

Me at 10:00pm: Just one more video and then I’ll go to sleep.

Me at 3:00am: *Top 10 biggest and baddest padlocks*

[Shipwreck]

I was an Aviation Ordnanceman in the Navy, and our Ready Service Lockers (RSL), where we stored all of our explosives, had those Sargent and Greenleaf 833 locks. I swear the keys looked like they were 4” in length and the locks themselves weighed a ton. Nice to see LPL recognize them!

[vcrpnff]

LPL: "this lock is beyond my capabilities--"
Me: *buys 10 of them*

[htomerif]

Here's what you really want to know: prices, plus or minus.

Abus 37RK/80 $125
Abloy 362 $200
Rotalok $350 - from the manufacturer, limited availability
Sargent & Greenleaf 831 $300 used, I personally remember them being about $800 new.
Assa Ruko 4-5 $350 ?? Couldn't find this exact lock, based on similar-ish ones
Kasp 19070X $100 on Amazon, believe it or not
Mul-t-lock C16 $200
Mul-t-lock e18h $220 out of stock...
Hi-Shear LK1200 $225 used (would kind of like an NSN or FSN)
Squire SS80CS $215

(edit Disclaimer: none of these prices reflect swapping out the cores with the wizard magic he put in them or that they can optionally be ordered with)
Not too bad. The only crazy, crazy expensive one is the SGT&Greenleaf if you buy a new, current model (951C), it will set you back about $1500

I'm guessing this list took longer to compile than the video -.-

[PhotonHerald]

Was thinking about getting a modern version of the S&G 831 (951C).

Unfortunately, it's a $2300 lock.

I'd come back to find my bike standing there, sans lock and chain, with a note saying "Thanks for the nice lock!"

[bloodrune]

Good luck breaking into this man’s house. He’d be out there criticizing your form and giving you suggestions. After you broke in, he’d suggest a higher security option to himself.

[LGITME]

I love the eloquence of this man’s speech.

[randomviewer]

the Rotalok is by far my favorite design. Making it twist-proof is something I haven't seen in many padlocks.
