It takes seconds to cut my favorite bike lock


Any bike lock, cable or chain can be cut off using power tools in a matter of seconds.


Buy Bike Lock Cables on Amazon (paid link): 
 


And it makes little to nor difference what top shelf brand one picks - all get cracked in seconds. 

I am still curious to check how my lock would hold against the regular hand saw... 

Here, take a closer look at the lock. 

I've been using this lock daily for a couple years already. 
This lock serves its purpose very well - no complaints. 

Let's turn on a stopwatch on my phone to time the process. 

I am going to use my old well used hand saw - it works great for cutting plexiglass and metal.


 Let's start the stop watch first and... let's cut off this lock. 

I have to be careful not to break my phone accidently :) 

Done! 

Now let's stop the watch. 

21 seconds total time. 

Let's remove the lock. 
It's kind of funny that tools for cutting locks are often cheaper than we pay for the locks :) 
And I am talking about regular tools - nothing special, or electrical powered tools. 

So, it takes seconds to cut this master lock using a regular manual saw. 
Nevertheless, I like this bike lock. And it is my favorite bike lock for that matter. 


It comes in a set of three locks. 

Each lock of the set has one key. 
And each key of the set opens all three locks of the set. 

That particular feature makes it very convenient in times when I bike with my family. 
Anyone in my family can lock and unlock everyone's bike.

 Also, I replace my bike locks every couple years. 
Using the same lock for more than a couple years increases the chance of getting stock with a broken lock on the go. 

And no matter what lock you use - don't leave your bike outside for too long!
 Have fun and happy biking :)
