I once saw a man slowly doing it on an expensive bmw bike unlock in front of the cafe we were having a drink in, using the rigid band of a hand metal saw but without the holder around it (might have a name in English?)
We told the waiter, who called the police, and we had a (safe) happy ending about 10 minutes later
Take that!!!! Milwaukee M18 cut off wheel!!!! 😂
I still think the Milwaukee M18 Porta Band saw would still make quick work of this lock.
Not to mention just cut the stand in 2 places to get the lock free and deal with the lock when you are in a secure place.
>just cut the stand in 2 places to get the lock free
Hello $40 [pipe cutter](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Apollo-1-2-in-to-2-in-Pro-Fit-Tubing-Cutter-PROTC2/311710190). Compact, silent, and quick.
~~LOL, good luck with that. A) It's way too small to fit around the SAF. B) Pipe cutters only work on soft materials like copper, and can only cut a few mm into the surface. They're designed to cut PIPE, not bar stock. C) At the core is a hardened steel shackle. The only thing that will cut through that is an angle grinder.~~
Nevermind! I'm an idiot with zero reading comprehension! XD
Yeah but nobody in their right mind is gonna cut the lock, they'll just cut whatever it's locked to. It's too big to be portable, and too small to lock around anything big enough to not be cut.
And as for picking it, yeah, LPL can pick it but he is quite literally one of the world's best lock pickers. There are probably only a few hundred people on the entire planet that can pick it in any reasonable amount of time to steal whatever it's protecting.
Saw one of those on the way to pick up my scooter in Brooklyn

Can you count how many locks?
Yep. Walk the thing around the store, bust ADA Rights if some doofus employee gives me shit about walking my $3kUS scooter in the store. Fuck locking it.
Weighs less than some of the ridiculous 15-20lb chain locks some people carry around. Still weighs 13.2lbs though, fuck that. And i bet a litelok x3 or hiplock d1000 still holds off angle grinders better.
That'll be $28.93 please mate, Need a bag ? The mini oxy cutter,powered bolt cutters and thermite are on special too if your interested. Australia Post has changed.
Yep, two cuts at the bottom where it all meets up take the whole rack with you. Or if you want to be a professional just grind off the 4 bolts holding it into the concrete and take the rack. So many ways to steal this in little to no time.
At the end of the day if someone really wants it they are going to get it. You can thank Dewalt, Milwaukee, Rigid and all the power tool companies for making such great tools with a 20V to 60V battery.
This is why I don't bother with super expensive locks. The local council aren't installing super expensive post's to lock them to.
I got a new york mini and figure anything above and they'll just cut the post's
If I ever see someone using an angle grinder on a u lock in the city, I’ll gladly purchase a coffee and throw/pour it on them.

Still would’ve asked the cafe to heat up a coffee 5x its normal temp and “oops, sorry I spilled my insanely hot coffee on you… bitch!”
Can I get a link to that for US? lmfao
I've heard it said that every bike weighs the same the expensive light weight bikes use heavy locks and the cheap heavy bikes use light locks ... :(
So now the theives have to carry a 3 ah battery for their Dewalt angle grinder instead of the 2 ah...
That’s a W lock ( see what I did there? 😂)
And its still completely useless when the thief cuts the bike rack pole its locked onto.
That’s what she said
Doesn't matter how big to the lock picking lawyer
If they want your bike they will cut through the frame to take it. Just don’t lock your bike outside.
Watch me buy one for my huffy
40 pounder?
Just cut the bike stand at that point
Front wheel still gone tho lol
You gotta live in the gulag for this to be practical 😭
Maybe 5 minutes.... A case for the lock.picking lawyer.
nobody is taking that out
Must be very heavy
Take that!!!! Milwaukee M18 cut off wheel!!!! 😂 I still think the Milwaukee M18 Porta Band saw would still make quick work of this lock. Not to mention just cut the stand in 2 places to get the lock free and deal with the lock when you are in a secure place.

>cut the stand
Wow I totally derped on that one. XD
Here I am making all kinds of noise with Milwaukee tools and this man is a “Ninja” and gets the bike without drawing attention to himself 😂😂
Just toss on that hi-viz and hard hat and no one will suspect a thing. Could even toss a couple of cones down for good measure.
They usually pour high strength concrete in there before they mount them.
Old news. In fact, it's such old news, that the lock has been discontinued as of February 2023.
Agreed. Seen this all those years ago. See people cut it and pick it. Cutting takes a fuckton of a while to do. Picking? LPL lol

Yeh, these type of locks are probs when you are locking it behind your backyard or another place you frequent at. Semi-permanent essentially.
It would be easier to just cut the metal bar intead of the lock
That is a fuck off big lock
Saw one of those on the way to pick up my scooter in Brooklyn https://preview.redd.it/qm8gqg2yns8d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d9023347d61ae21bcafb40af57e114977b731f0 Can you count how many locks?
I spot 4
Where is the 4th lock? I spot the one in the back, 2 in front (the chain and gigantic u-lock).
Front and back has the same setup. If you zoom in, you’ll see parts of the chain lock.
You got quite the eye
someone hurt this man
Agreed lmao. I am too almost this close to bringing 3 locks. Currently have 2 kryptonite chain locks.
You in a big city?
Just take it inside with you!! Just fold it, lift it, and set it in your shopping basket. Don't be a pud!
Yep. Walk the thing around the store, bust ADA Rights if some doofus employee gives me shit about walking my $3kUS scooter in the store. Fuck locking it.
Looks like i weighs more than the bike does
Weighs less than some of the ridiculous 15-20lb chain locks some people carry around. Still weighs 13.2lbs though, fuck that. And i bet a litelok x3 or hiplock d1000 still holds off angle grinders better.
1 lb can of r12 and a 2 lb sledge makes that go away in 10 seconds All those that lack criminal minds eventually become victims to criminals

God dam that is a large lock Would be easier to just saw through the pole it’s attacked to at this point.
Yep, two cuts at the bottom where it all meets up take the whole rack with you. Or if you want to be a professional just grind off the 4 bolts holding it into the concrete and take the rack.
