Onguard bike lock Vs bolt cutters, who is tougher? 

Great video! One thing to consider is how locks can wear over time. Dirt and grime buildup can make it harder for the locking mechanism to engage fully, especially on older locks. This actually happened to me with an OnGuard armored cable lock I had for several years. After a while, it wouldn't fully engage the bolts. I couldn't get it to click shut properly, and it would sometimes slip out of engagement. I'm not sure if something broke internally or what caused it, but luckily, OnGuard was very helpful. This is a good reminder to check your lock regularly for proper engagement, especially if it's a few years old. Here's a tip: Make sure both ends of the U-lock (or shackle on a cable lock) are fully seated in the locking arm. A crooked insertion or misalignment might leave one side unsecured. To check this, try gently pulling on the U-lock after it's locked. If there's any give, double-check the engagement. While pulling won't stop bolt cutters completely, it's a good way to identify a potential weakness. For extra security, some U-locks have a slight resistance when fully engaged. Try giving it a little twist to see if it budges. If you notice your lock isn't engaging properly, register it with the manufacturer (most offer replacements) and consider getting a new one. Remember, a U-lock with a cable lock provides even more security for your bike.

Have just ordered one of these. Will be using my bike to pop into our local town, I see plenty of £300-£400 bikes locked up with £5 cable locks, so I'll park where they all park. My bike will be the last one to get nicked👍

This only demonstrates why the thief used a different tactic to overcome the weakest aspect of the unit, rather than trying to use cutters on the one strong component. They may have used a car jack in the span to wedge the shackle away from the bar where the mechanism itself failed.

Good video showing the strength of the steel 💯

*Nice lock for the price.* The other channel used the hydraulic cutter and failed too ! The lock manufacturer can increase the security by wrapping the lock core into a thick cut-proof fiber tube, so that it can not fit into the cutter without any other work. This will prevent the evil people from trying. We need better bicycle locks on our planet. This one might be a good start.

I was just waiting for it to cut and the off cut shoot into the side of your van!

I bougth one of this on a garage sale, just for 8 dollars, it works fantastic!

I'm saving you time and effort: 14mm of hardened steel can only be cut with the largest bolt cutters, that it, the 42 inchers. It is an extremely difficult job, as you need weight and the right momentum to push that handle down again and again until the link snaps. With those bolt cutters you can cut links up to 15mm, beyond that, (16mm and over), it is impossible

I'm reassured by this, I've just ordered the gold standard one from the same maker

Lockpicking Lawyer has a video on these. He ruined the jaws of his hydraulic bolt cutter on the hardened steel. But he can pick the lock.

He lacks the strength of a opioid addict.

Thanks for this. That's really strong! The only thing that would get through that is a hydraulic cropper. Thanks.

if you dont want your bike nicked, two locks - the onguard Brute is pretty good for one of them ... pretty cheap too

Yeah, put a brand new pair of 42 inch bolt cutters on that. Not some dull pair that's obviously too small.

If a lock resists those huge bolt cutters it is more than enough just because thieves never pick and no one resists an angle grinder, it doesn't matter how expensive, wide or hardened it is.

What differance does it make if it cuts or not, bike still got stolen.

The thing is , nowadays most thieves cary a battery powered grinder with a pack of wheels ..

I think you would cause more damage to the bike using the method you exhibit. Most probably some hydraulic bottle jack was used to pop it out.

Who needs bolt cutters when you could just twist the bike and the locking mechanism will pop open

I have that one. Its a freaking beast.

most ulocks lasts 5 seconds if you use a long tube to twist the ulock against the locking post/pillar/frame/whatever. its u locks fatal desing flaw.

It looks like they don't' need so must trouble :) They open it without bolt cutters.

You can adjust the bulk whoppers, so they’re not so wide apart

what onguard was it?brute?and only got a quick shot of you croppers..the jaws looked a bit shot

He used a bottle jack to force it

Hay q probar el Napoleón con un hombre más grande y fuerte no tan delgado para que sea completa la evidencia

What is security level?..

Nice! thanks

Big clue... IF it is on display blah blah blah. My two theft deterants are, riding a $100 Kmart bike and... It never leaves my side/sight.... Not sure how i would go in the Netherlands. Maybe no one steals bikes cause everyone has them?

I got 2 of my bike stolen with this lock. I don’t know how the fuck people do it. I’m still looking for the person that sole it lacking.

Ese candado es de poco milímetros de espesor por eso lo cortó, ,el candado tiene que ser de 14mm para arriba de buen acero , para ser difícil o imposible cortar con cizalla manual o hidráulica

I got one so hope my bike is secured now :) like

The lock is left from the stolen bike ??? How did the thieves manage to open the lock?

is that a bull dog onguard 13mm?

Use the 42" Irwin Record bolt cutter and if it survives again then we can call it cutter proof.The 30" will not work on this lock.

Bolt cutters. Won’t cut it ! Use a wireless grinder , spinning the frame will break the locking mechanism . Best use 2 dlock stop frame being moved

I haven't had any HUGE issues with this lock yet! ru-vid.comUgkxfyHDlEqk6hqu9acdvK5NGzZsGKSokSbv It seems sturdy and like it will get the job done. I really like that it has a twisting lock feature to keep out dirt and debris. However, the mounting system is much too light for the lock, and continues to get loose/move around. It's mostly made of plastic parts, and I've had to tighten it a few times in the past week or so that I've had it. I'm worried that it's going to break off at some point while I'm riding. I'm considering just scrapping that part, but that would mean having to carry the heavy lock i my backpack and adding more weight. I wish I could have given this more stars, but without the mounting system, it's just another heavy lock that I have to cart around. UPDATE: Increased rating to 5 stars because the seller offered to provide a new lock and mounting system. Really appreciate the attention to customer service!!

Send it to LockPickingLawyer so he can use the hydraulic cutter on it.

It's only a 2 pin lock, most likely bike had its front wheel removed and spun in the air from the back wheel using lever force to distort the lock until one of the 4mm pins gave and then reassembled the bike to ride off, quite common, vids are on youtube. Still pretty good hardening, would poss defeat a hydraulic cutter too.I would guess if she had 2 of these she would still have the bike as the thief was tool-less. Irony this lock resists tool attack well but succumbed to hand attack! Most detemined thieves have angle grinders now , its on the london police channel, 3 of these would be good, maybe 4? Cost £50? Hopefully his battery goes flat before he gets your bike free!

The steel is tempered. just get a blow torch. Heat a spot till it goes red then cut. It will go through like butter

Что это за модель или названия ?

Kryptonite is overated

El ladron pudo forzarlo usando palanca con dos llaves de apretar tuercas o enfriandolo con aire a presiòn

my shackle won't get that hard

How thick of the lock shackle? Please

Best lock in world =)))

Cut the piece of bike its wrapped around fix the break.....done

hammer for a u lock 2 seconds

I want that to be the end of the story, but there are hydraulic bolt cutters.

Tell her to buy a kryptonite u lock can't go wrong

Maybe the thief picked the lock and thats also why you cant put the key in

1:50 of talking jesus christ

Wrong angle

Think it will. Be more difficult. If done It. Like a thief... AND. In public?? , cuz. U R. Asleep. When at. Night? ... Just a waste of. Time. When do. It at. Night. Right?!

Get a bigger bolt cutter

WOWWWW

Se continuasse, romperia kkkkk

What kind of bolt cutters is it
