Hey Bruce. A security system is only as strong as it's weakest link. I wouldn't waste valuable thieving time tackling the anchor, go for the chain instead:)

@onskyk 2 года назад

Layer your bike. So true. I have two disk locks (one alarmed), a front chain lock and a Doberman back wheel chain lock. It takes me 5 minutes to put it on in the evening after putting my bike cover on. It will be a right pain in the butt for anyone wanting to steal it.

@justinday7600 2 года назад

Love a bit of security and totally agree with the layering idea. Slow em down Shed barrier. whilst visually a deterrent. The shed is made of wood and a new doorway could be made in seconds. Ground anchor is only as good as it's fixings and material it's fixed too. Maybe look into testing a Milwaukee handheld cordless metal cutting circular saw. As these also are the weapon of choice along with cordless grinders, 12" disc cutters. At the end of the day if they want it they'll take it. If its too hard to take from home they'll do it on the move. When least expected.

@10secondsrule 2 года назад

That's what I had. A motorcycle stored withing a locked garage in a locked bicycle store, 19mm chain to a main pipe, 2 X disclocks, tracker, alarm, datataged. You can't imagine how much fun was to get the bike in and out each day. It wasn't. Sold it. Life is too short to waste it this way.

@colinhoward5696 2 года назад

The ground anchor looks impressive. If the grinder doesn’t reach the bolt heads then this is a great product.

@teapotone 2 года назад

It’s impossible for the grind to reach all the bolt heads due to the ingenious design of the anchor - very clever bit of kit. But as has been pointed out, they’d then just attack the chain - hence the need for multiple layers of security 👍

@sleepindragon179 2 года назад

You made the most Important point of "layers" as you & Dave termed it. It's all about making the thieves job pure hassle. You want to put that seed of doubt in their thick heads. So they go for an easier target. Again like you said nothing is 100% bullet proof. A petrol grinder with a bigger blade would make light work of all that. But if you've got several different layers of security they're going to go elsewhere. Unless the prize is so good they'll do anything. But if that's the case your gonna have your limited edition 50grand Ducati in a underground vault!

Some good products that will deter average thief but determined thieves cannot be stopped only slowed down. The design of the Apex allows an easy place to hook a length of chain to and rip it out. it'll stop a thief on foot but not mobile ones.

You’re totally correct in that nothing is 100% against a determined and prepared thief who’s given the sufficient time to attack your security - but good security gives you more time to hopefully react and ‘deter’ any would-be thief who’s in the process of nicking your pride and joy 🤷‍♂️

Not a fan of security product tests usually because they are often crap products or like many have said not tested the weakest link, pun intended. It is very difficult to remain positive as a viewer with so much crap being peddled, that is only a deterrent to the dumbest of tea leaf. There are some obvious floors in some of their products, the shed barrier in particular on works if the the remainder of the shed is made equally secure. But hats off to them for being Uk based design and manufacturer and in the Black Country. Unlike many in this field, they also seem to have a genuine desire to improve and develope their security devices. I wish them success and will watch with interest when the bring other products to market in the future. Sorry for length of ramble🤣👍

@teapotone 2 года назад

No dramas bud - and I absolutely agree with all that. The chain is 100% the weakest link, but the vid is about the ground anchor challenge they set, and promoting the idea of layered security.

@vironpayne3405 2 года назад

Two Comments: Are there not thieves using cutting torches? A small set about the size used by plumbers should be sufficient and quicker than grinders. If your ground anchor has a heavy small angle iron U-shaped frame inside reinforcing the plate it should be effective against most grinder attacts. If they are using a large cutting wheel, such as used in chop saws then perhaps not, but those wheels on a grinder tend to be dangerous. A cutting torch attack might be effect when cutting from inside and outside. Probably one of the best deterents to all manner of criminals would be dragging by their feet at 5mph through town behind a car until there is nothing discernable left to drag. The first mile or so televised would be the best deterence for other would be criminals. Of course if all the pick pockets and petty theives were done away with, where would find any politicians?

@teapotone 2 года назад

Aye the Image4Security lads have tested it - got through it quickly. Theirs is 48mm I believe, and can still be cut through in around 45 seconds I think.

wouldn't it be easier to unbolt that then cut it though?

You can’t get to the bolts

Could have done with something like that the other day, some fuckers nicked my scooter off the drive. Cut thru my chain to get it off the anchor . Only had it a month

Surprised to see them selling the grip lock, has to be the worst lock on the market for securing your precious bike, literally undo the bleed nipple and the brakes are released

@Tolandur 2 года назад

what is the rating for the bolts they use on that ground anchor ?? TiNi coated drillbit a fraction larger than the stem of the bolt and drill straight down through the boltheads...... once you get the hole as deep as the height of the bolthead it will come straight off.... just lift the anchor straight up and off you go 😄 basic mecanics skill when dealing with rounded off/busted boltheads

@engineeredbyzicam 2 года назад

As well as using two shield anchors with countersunk bolts with ball bearings in the Allen key heads we also have a centre spike with we resin in the floor. No way of getting to this once installed.

Well-made stuff, but won't they will cut through the chain?

@kristopher9023 2 года назад

Why didn't he take the gaurd off the grinder& on the ground take a sledge to the cement of course it would make to much noise but I'm just saying but I have to say good products because thieves are obviously lazy or they would get a job and buy it

@TheRtHonJimStiffOG 2 года назад

Wouldn't you just attack the bolts?

@teapotone 2 года назад

You would if you could get to them all 😉

@urgigrull4013 2 года назад

Bruce, there is one error in thinking here. A thief would never try to attack a ground anker if he spots it. they would always attack the weakest point, the fastest point which would be the chain or wire in between the anker and the bike. So there is absolutely no use in challening the solid ground based anker, built for the purpose to withstand the violence.. well here might be some idiot thief feeling challenged. So the ground anker has to be solid, no question but it just has to be harder to crack than the chain or lock, which are the real weak points. Still I love their garage locking bar, that is the absoluteley cracking idea ! No need to protect my bikes in my area though, if there were, I would absolutely take the bar blocking everthing, brilliant idea, brilliant work they did ! Best to you !
