(1276) Review: SunLite Defender Bike Lock (JUNK!)

[@bradw0535]

Gotta say, always prefer the picking method, but the inner jerk in me seems to really enjoy seeing the destructive methods also :-) Just something about a quick, forceful defeat of a product like that, speaks volumes to everyone about its quality, not just us pickers. Great demonstration Bill!

[@nukenvy2]

Apparently it’s bicycle lock week for the LockSport KZbin channels.

[@WineScrounger]

Faith based security 😬

[@progandy]

Fake locks and fake security cameras...

[@dannygarden464]

Love when you said the name and say it's not light ( sorry hard to write) You should say the name goes with the quality, 30$ and its junk, that's why I never buy lock on internet, looks good but they cut alot on quality, even the chain, soon you start with the saw I knew it was cheap, thanks for the video, maybe it could help somebody, I think the sleeve for the chain cost more than the lock and chain, remind me the protection sleeve for the climbing rope so it doesn't cut arround a tree or at the top for the rocks :)

[@JasperJanssen]

I’d have liked to see you try to pick this with a tension wrench plus a tumbler style rake. I bet you could rake this one open without having so much as an actual dimple rake.

[@stefflus08]

It sparks like hardenable steel though, but the heat treat was probably way off.

[@rickfrankel]

Great timing

[@uzaiyaro]

Wouldn't be surprised if you could slide hammer the core out. It might've been worth it if the chain wasn't made out of brie, but of course it's too good to be true.

[@ghffrsfygdhfjkjiysdz]

The yellow finish is chromate conversion of zinc galvanized metal. This finish is NOT an indication of heat treatment or quality of the steel. Anything that you can plate or galvanize zinc onto can get this finish.

[@ssu7653]

It may be bad materials, but you still picked it faster than breaking it ;)

[@MindVortex23]

I wonder if that one exploit could be fixed by just extending the locking plate, to go around the bit you put in. In that case even if you break the pin out, you wont be able to take the lock out without unlocking it first

[@DonzLockz]

I just want that Viro!😍 The bike lock... meh, you get what you pay for I guess.😜🍺✌

[@WilliamMancel]

Is there such a thing as a good portable bike lock? Everything seems to be junk, or too easy to defeat. I don't own a bike, just curious .

[@BD90..]

William Mancel Better to have more than one,bike insurance and locking it indoors if possible. Out of sight out of mind.

[@MauritsBuijs]

the-forever-lock.myshopify.com/ Approved by Bill himself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX3We3d7gclnotE This video was version one I believe. He also reviewed version 2 wich was even better.

[@WilliamMancel]

BlackDolphin90 I thought a Sargent & Greenleaf bunker lock, plus some trucker road chain's would stop most of them, but it might be a little bit heavy & overkill 😂

[@BD90..]

William Mancel u would say that would stop them all except the guy with a grinder.

[@wtfiswiththosehandles]

No such thing. Every single bike lock is only good for keeping bike safe from opportunity theft. If someone really wants your bike, they will find a way to open or break the lock. But that is also true for houses and cars... So I use only a simple cheapo cable lock on my $500 bike.

[@zacharylagler242]

What model of Viro shutter lock is that?

[@Fantaman900]

When it comes to weight my oxford hardcore chain motorcycle lock is a pain to carry around. It's so frigging heavy

[@jeremymcadam7400]

hahaha that intro music though, so good

[@nukenvy2]

[@stevecozzola210]

Bill I think if you would have hit the drift pin in instead of out it might have only taken 1 hit since it didn't go all the way through!

[@jimb6017]

Hi new subscriber here. Could you recommend a good lock I can buy that don't cost a crazy amount? I'm in the landscaping business. Most of the locks I use you have picked with ease. I know not many are fool proof but what would you recommend that's a little better than average?

[@WineScrounger]

Jim B most thieves won’t pick locks. People clever enough to do that generally have proper jobs. For padlocks and chains go for size, weight and hardness. A disc detainer core adds another layer of security especially if it tensions at the deep end. Abus Granit padlocks come highly recommended in that respect although they aren’t cheap.

[@tilobidaLP]

A good rule of thumb is that your lock should cost atleast ten percent of the price of your bike.

[@inadequis6132]

The abloy enforcer(?) Is good and only around $70

[@send9]

Do you live in the US? You can go to most hardware stores and buy American-brand locks, which feature serrated pins and generally decent construction. I recommend looking elsewhere (Amazon? eBay?) for a lock from a company like Abus, and look for ones that have a shielded shackle. This will help mitigate a more realistic threat: people cutting the shackle to get in. Oh and don't get combo locks, at least not ones with a dial.

[@ToxicVortex8]

hey bill, how long does it usually take to get sparrows picks in the mail, i ordered mine a week ago

[@bosnianbill]

Usually i get mine within 10 days unless the package gets stalled in US customs, but that rarely happens.

[@ToxicVortex8]

alright thank you

[@ToxicVortex8]

i just got them in the mail and started messing with the cutaway lock, i need a longer pick because i cant reach the 5th pin without oversetting the 4th

[@metamorphicorder]

28$ is way too much for that. The blackburn attica is a much better option for that price range. At least the chain. The lock is probably better too. For 3 times the price you can get five times the security in the kryptonite 1415 lock and chain.

[@jeremiahkennedy1683]

Might as well not even screw with the lock, just wrap the chain around and hide the ends or put a u bolt thru it. If they are gonna steal your bike there gonna do it regardless of how much you spend on a lock. Great review Bill p.s. your gonna need a bigger hammer

[@jakedunn8584]

Hey Bill you said you wanted to see a level 10 master lock well I found one it’s the Magnum M930xkadlh

[@bosnianbill]

We'll see... I just ordered one. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

[@jakedunn8584]

bosnianbill My pleasure

[@aprado17]

What’s the best bike lock in the $50 to $100 range?

[@binnsbrian]

A security guard for an hour.

[@FlyfishermanMike]

A thick rope with many knots.

[@aprado17]

Oh snap - I forgot to add "morons please abstain from answering"

[@woduk]

Kryptonite New York lock?

[@billbacardi3262]

Thanks Bill nice video sir

[@MerkDolf]

Didn't check the actual times just seems to me that the picking was the quickest method to defeat that one.

[@hardcodedsoftware4212]

Is the video sped up?

[@SageBrush-BladeWorks]

I know this is old... but just have to say; That chain was pure stupidity! The steel was easily heat treatable (the sparkling in the grinder sparks is carbon burning out of the hot flakes of steel). They just cut the corner off of actually doing the heat treatment.

[@michaelsebourn3425]

steal it for the chain

[@poisonouslead85]

Looks like 1 good whack with a slide hammer would shear that pin.

[@kinstar]

"HELLLOOOOOOO" nah I'm just watching some bosnianbill

[@skygh]

I would never have guessed a lock and fake hardened chain that costs 27 bucks wouldn't be any good. What next?

[@C...G...]

skills!

[@james201027]

why do you change the intro every video?

[@bosnianbill]

It feels good.🙃

[@james201027]

oh.

[@bosnianbill]

Also, I don't like getting into a rut, doing the same old thing every time.

[@choochoochooseyou]

Disgraceful. There genuinely seems to be no industry standard for these companies that churn out this junk.

[@_BangDroid_]

Welcome to consumerism

[@jtveg]

*_"Let's just say I've found this around a bicycle I just have to own"_* I thought one of your mottos was *"stay legal".* Freudian slip ay? 🤔 Love your videos btw.

[@kiltedthistle]

Please do a kryptonite series 2 ulock Bill

[@MorellioBenoir]

It's almost as if a ramset gun could have taken care of it toot sweet.

[@MorellioBenoir]

Thanks for picking it Bill. :)

[@rileyfenley522]

If i remember correctly this one was defeated with the screw spreader. The locking “paw” sheered off.

[@JimFortune]

Bigger hammer

[@thephantom1492]

wow, a lock that succeded to suck more than master lock!

[@d1namis]

tutututUtUtUtUtUtU TUTUTUTUTUTUTU tutu

[@BD90..]

You were robbed bill. That lock is no good.

[@MrMannakin]

Looks more like a cheap motorcycle chain than a pushbike lock

[@T3A0000]

You are killing i need i Secure lock for the love Of planet earth

[@candyquahogmarshmallow8257]

The americans and the imperial measurements be like "its not 300 dollars its 3 10ths of a thousand dollars. Accept the metric, most of the world does including Nasa

[@suicidemessiah89]

Would be nice to win something

[@AlphaDragonification]

Legit this lock is fine for normal bikes. If you’re seriously concerned with criminals bringing an arsenal of tools to steal your bike then i guess you’re the minority, because nobody is gonna steal a normal bike that is secured with a lock properly.

[@nasukaren]

Paul C you don’t live in New York or San Francisco, obviously....

[@Matwalsh1]

Bill I think their is something wrong with your microphone it's making a rattle noise while you talk it's super annoying 😟 it's not just this video quite a few of your past videos have this noise

[@bosnianbill]

Matt, check your headphones or speakers. Based on your previous comments I swapped out my old blue yeti for a brand new one for this video. I also installed a foam cover and “spit shield”. Oh yeah, last week i replaced my florescent lights with completely silent LED lights.

[@Matwalsh1]

ok will do I watch you videos on youtube mobile ill try watching on my computer to see if i hear a difference! Thanks for the reply i love your content you inspired me to start picking!
