As far as security and practicality go, I'd call this a "convenience" lock (small and light, easy to store attached to anywhere on the bike frame) good for short stops in well trafficked areas. But even the fact that it's a disk detainer increases security a bit, since the tools for them are less prevalent. This is the first time I seen someone other than the inventors (Bosnian Bill & LPL) use that particular tool. I also noticed a slight difference in the key. This key has rounded edges, where all other DD lock keys I have seen have flat sides and edges that are perfect right angles.

The Amazon page for this lock, posted by the manufacturer, claims that this is a aluminum alloy steel, which would be somewhat magnetic. Would this likely be less resistant to brute force attacks than regular stainless steel?
I bought it and the manual says "Zinc alloy and alloy Steel" (Dont know which is fo the casing and which is for the chain) ... so I won't trust my bike with it alone. I'll just use it for the places where my mini-D-Lock doesn't fit, still with the mini-D-Lock clamping the wheel to the frame. (Don't wanna carry the bulk of a usual D-lock around)

Would love to see a video of disc detainer locks with the graphics you used to do. I have a bit of a hard time visualizing the mechanics. I've opened a few, but it feels more like luck instead of skill.
Brilliant love to Send west biking this! Have you seen the security claims they have against this lock? It would make it the best lock ever oh and suppose to be unpickible ha!
It claimes this £18 lock is anti grinder proof, lock picking proof security rivets it's made out to be the absolute best that diamond grade can't even do! I'd be really interested to see this in a test! It would be the solve of bike locks if their Claims were true one bit!
There’s a new round of Sponsored ads on Facebook selling a re-branded one of these. The video for the ad is absolute comedy; shows someone attempting to hacksaw it, bolt cutter it and angle grind it for 1 second each to imply it’s resistant. 🤦♂️
I avoid that for the most part as I feel it gives the hobby a bit of a bad image. it’s already a hard concept for the general public. No shade on those that do show it, it’s just not my thing.
Hey lock noob, I just finished watching your “pocket smith” tool video and noticed that it isn’t sold in your shop. Is this an idea you are pursuing and might want feedback on? I’d rather not post any ideas publicly, obviously, but I was just curious if this was a tool you were wanting to pursue. Not looking to make a buck or anything just enjoy your videos and figured I might have some ideas that could help. 😁
It looks a bit prone to a destructive attack, but that lock core would stop most people from trying to pick it, and make them go and look for an easier target. And that's the main function of a security device. That 'Tool TBBALPL Built' is very useful, but your picking skills are still awesome! Thanks Ash. 🙂👍 Does it open to a sharp hammer blow to the midriff, as some locks do?
It's only a matter of time before some lock company stumbles onto the marketing strategy of 'make interesting looking locks for locksporters to buy!' They'll make a fortune!
1 step away from the pc 4 like 30 seconds then u upload utube tryna make me never be 1st any more but I proved them wrong so lucky no 1 else commented in the first 30 seconds
You know that's about the stupidest thing I think I've ever heard the lock is designed to lock up a bike and you're saying that it's not made or you shouldn't use it to lock your bike up with make no sense to me
Erm...I believe what the video is saying is that while this lock is *intended* to secure a bicycle, its quality, and the paucity of security it offers, is such that it is not fit for purpose and that there are better options. Hope this helps.
@@MichaelMaynard never in my life have I seen a bike theif pick a lock, not one. its always bolt cutters or more recently some of them will use grinder. This is a pointless video since 95% of bike jackers are meth heads and it takes skills to pick any lock.
I genuinely don't know how physically secure this type of lock is, but its a fun form factor and an interesting pick! 😃👍🔐
Hi "LN" !
Thx for your work and time.
Do you have a video review of this tool ?! I will be very grateful for this.
Have a good luck LN !!!!)
Nicely picked 👍thanks for explaining the tensioning 😊
Ikr he's so sick

what would you recomend as a good bike lock?
Very nicely picked.
You got very good solid clicks as you went through the pack. Clearly no false gates but a great looking lock and a fun pick.
wish you did a durability test i just got mine it feels almost like i could just snap it but i dont want to ruin mine haha
Another cool pick. Good job!
does it fit in tool can?
What kind of tool did you loose i found this lock in my new house and i want to open it
Can this be broken using a bigger tool like bolt cutters? Because that's the most common thing thieves use in some bike parking areas
Great video Ash mate and cool lock👍😎🇬🇧😊👊
Thanks Leon mate!

Great video. The metal is probably Chinesium or pot metal.

Amazing I came because of lpl channel with that chest lock
99.9% of bike thieves are not lock pickers, they want fast action so they brute force locks using clippers or grinder, thats the test I want to see

YAY I think it looks cool to :)
what to do when it is jammed? I can't open mine

what do you think of the silver bullet?🤔
how about some destructive entry... would be cool to see

@@LockNoob im trying to know if i should get the lock though. not see how to steal a bike lol
Your cracked my dude u can pick every lock 🔒 🔓

@@parapicktog7734 yea, check his channel then scroll over to “about” or maybe shopping? I don’t remember. Lol but it’s there on his channel.
i buy a lot of locks like that lol

Possibly!
Right now, the bike thieves are a little bit safer.. So you have all the tools and bits.. And the point of your channel is?
To have fun, demonstrate the hobby and show people some of the security flaws in locks so they are able to make informed security choices.

myy guess is its zinc
No way...zinc is soft and non ferrous.
1st let's go I'm back
The king is back!
