[559] Master Lock "Street Cuff" Motorcycle Lock vs. Ramset

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

Wow, your preliminary analysis was spot on. I'm wondering if Ramset, has seen an increase in ... sales, since you started this series.

[@jort93z]

They probably did lol. Not many people drive nails in concrete i think.

[@pyratemage]

I used to use something similar from Hilti a lot. Great for fastening conduit or other fasteners to block or concrete.

[@DjJooze]

I just got one $88 with free shipping on Amazon. 120 with the combo nails and load pellets👍👌

[@snoopdogie187]

I must be one of the few diyer that actually did fasten stuff to concrete. Although I used Tapcon screws because I didn't need to do that many, and it will probably be a long time before I do it again. Also I can see these ramset guns causing problems in NJ, legally I mean.

[@jort93z]

i mean, obviously some people do it. but not many people use those regulary i would assume.

[@I_am_K-aus]

A little disturbing how easily a lock can be defeated by this Ramset, I guess it’s a true skeleton key. Have you tried this against a door lock, like a deadbolt? In No Country for Old Men I remember the guy knocking out a deadbolt tumbler with that cow killer thing.

[@z1522]

That was the same set of images I saw, as well - yikes! A lowly .22 shell no less.

[@kenc2257]

Javier Bardem with that pneumatic bolt gun thing--the stuff of nightmares (and not just for livestock).

[@ClexYoshi]

oh, you mean that pneumatic pithing needle? yeah.

[@filanfyretracker]

That was Hollywood but if that tool really can pop a deadbolt I am sure the Ramset can as id imagine its more powerful. DeadCow-O-Matic is probably less powerful, I mean I doubt it can drive a nail into a basement floor.

[@steven.h0629]

Captive Bolt Gun >>

[@SquireJethro]

LPL, for these Ramset videos, you should partner with TAOFLEDERMAUS or SmarterEveryDay or The Slow Mo Guys or another KZbinr that has a high speed camera. Would be extremely interesting to see the failure of the lock in slow motion.

[@kecoakerok8240]

That's kinda a good idea

[@daewooparts]

Definitely work with Taofledermaus

[@Jo_Blo]

​@@daewooparts minus the crappy public domain jazz music they always use

[@JF32304]

looks like I found a new favorite channel. I like his method of picking locks. No joking around and straight to the point. 👍👍

[@Shipfixer]

Those Ramsets are pretty powerful for only a .22 blank. They will also drive a fastener into steel. Awesome demonstration here. I was a little worried about possible shrapnel. After all, it is basically a gun.

[@AmericanChoirboy]

"I think we can force the lock open" (Lock shatters into 50 pieces) "Ok, as you see, i was right"

[@mikewl19]

It will be interesting to see this on more high security locks. Though a bit too expensive for destructive testing! Considering how quickly this can be deployed effectively it’s great that you are showing this.

[@tsobf242]

He tested one recently and broke the piston in the Ramsey gun. He posted a picture on Twitter but I don't know if that's going to become a video.

[@mikewl19]

tsobf242 oh awesome! I just follow the videos so I didn’t know about it. Thanks for the hint!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+tsobf242 That will not be a video... for Twitter only. A fair bit of the stuff I show on Twitter is prep for videos. The broken piston was from experimenting with alternative approaches to opening the same lock that the Ramset defeated in video 557. 👍

[@chefjasontaylor]

Sort of a dumb design if it doesn't ratchet, yet leaves the end exposed.

[@barryfields2964]

Jason Taylor yeah, anybody out there that has one of these might want to cut some of that off. Probably be susceptible to a good hammer blow

[@pb222221]

They are not ratcheting so that dumb people dont use them as handcuffs. I know you can buy real handcuffs for cheaper but a hospital or police station wont have an easy way to remove these without hurting the wearer.

[@Dogeggz]

If someone is dumb enough to get cuffed by these, they deserve at have them removed by Ramset :)

[@AtlasReburdened]

Right? That thing should have the end removed, that opening closed, and it probably wouldn't kill them to include one more locking point. Simple shit. It's like they're made specifically to make dumb people vulnerable.

[@MartinAston00]

Jason Taylor Yeah.. don’t even really need the Ram..

[@snuckyr]

Returns to amazon Reason: it did not survived my massive explosion test

[@out-landishintheokanagan270]

I just bought that lock this summer for my mountain bike and have watched all your destruction and picking videos on it. Darn it!!!

[@rollin18wheels]

You’ve got me really wondering what it’s going to take to defeat the ramset. So far it seems like that thing is bad news for any lock it comes up against

[@rollin18wheels]

I mean, yeah it’s just a disaster lock, but as violent as that impact is, I don’t know if even a mighty Abus Titalium can withstand it

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+snowman379 Please tell me that the use of the word "mighty" in the same sentence as "Abus Titalium" was a typo. 😋

[@rollin18wheels]

LockPickingLawyer erm.... abus granit? I honestly don’t know my ass from my elbow about euro locks and “titalium” sounds like a badass alloy. The toughest lock I’ve ever put my hands on is a frankenlock I whipped up from cylinders and pins I had laying around

[@ccupit9027]

And he hasn't even put anything higher than the brown loads! It may even be able to defeat some safes.

[@rollin18wheels]

Nate Dogg yeah I suggested using a green or yellow load, but I was informed they would damage the bolt. I’m with you though. I think he might even be able to defeat a safe with that thing since it’s effortlessly defeating everything unlucky enough to find itself on the business end

[@liorzisman2968]

I love your videos. They are explained well, to the point, and fun to watch. Your voice is also calming, even when you shoot this gun at the chain 🤣

[@DuramaxL5P]

I really enjoy these Ramset videos

[@EmanASMR]

That is one cool gun, remember we used similar ones when building homes to shoot big nails into the concrete.

[@richscott2090]

I have spent so much money on lock picks and tools I should probably have spent my money on a small RAMSET....LOVE ALL YOUR RAMSET VIDEOS.

[@brianfalls5894]

Great video LPL. It's scary just how fast that lock can be decimated by that Ramset. I guess it just goes to show that a lock is to keep an honest person honest. A bad guy will figure out how to get your ride no matter how well it is secured.

[@TheWatchMker]

First the twist attack now this. Simply genius. I love it

[@lwfeagan]

I am interested in seeing if the Ramset can blow out the pin of the chain links on this lock. Could you give it a try, please? Thanks! Love your videos.

[@jonny5alive123]

Would be nice to try the pin on the cuff section as well.

[@landroveraddict2457]

Just what I was thinking, please "wack" the chain

[@cup_and_cone]

The chain pins are riveted (folded over edge). I don't think smashing it with a Ramset would do much, unless the pins were so brittle they shattered.

[@chessnut991]

If he used a punch that was slightly smaller that the shaft of the pin in conjunction with the ramset, it would work.

[@lwfeagan]

John Hinds Agreed. Good suggestion.

[@_BangDroid_]

Man I love that firing sound, it would be a great sound effect

[@jamesbaumfeld6126]

I bet after this series on the ramset alot of locksmiths will start to use them. Good vid counselor.

[@wyattknutson]

I like how he chose the brown tip cartridge just to add insult to injury

[@hopsyn]

Great job! Educate thieves to things they might not know yet.

[@z1522]

It' scary how much power comes from a puny little .22 shell, and the high velocity impact likely assists in snapping even hard but more brittle alloys that might defeat saws or bolt cutters. That might drive all sorts of rivets clean through as well.

[@samshillington9130]

ide like to see if the ramset could knock a pin out of the chain

[@lockpickinglawyer]

I highly doubt it.

[@dexagalapagos]

@@lockpickinglawyer I think it might, cause those rivet flanges aren't very strong.

[@kyleculp7520]

I thought the same, if its built like a motorcycle chain, you could just use a chain tool

[@j.d.thompson3505]

How could anyone have a nice day after watching this?

[@RWBHere]

It's irony.

[@Lolvi6]

*video uploaded at 3am* *whispering* "This is the LockPickingLawyer and today we are going to see how an unsuspecting burglar's genitals fare against the power of the Ramset gun. As you can see, I am loading one of the high powered, yellow tip shells in. 3... 2... 1..." *Loud bang, squishy sounds, screaming*

[@gero693]

Ahahahhaah

[@batvette]

Master used to make the streetcuffs SS, was almost twice the size and weight. I used em for about 6mos on a $4k ti MTB in addition to a cobralinks jr. (1/2" version of their big mc locks) Retired it in favor of krypto fahgeddaboutit U. Lighter and didnt rattle in the pack. My philosophy is the best lock is two different ones that take vastly different tools to defeat.

[@trekmaster30]

Really enjoying these ramset videos. They got me thinking though. It's been a long time since I've seen you melt a lock lol.

[@SoopaFlyism]

"Today for Mouse Trap Monday". I swear this is the same guy!

[@Emilmarch]

Dauuum you executed that master lock dude 🤣

[@HillbillyRednecking]

Jesus Ralphie, don't shoot your eye out!

[@AlbertLebel]

I really like that chain. Looks cool. Thank you for the video.

[@reclamartsmetalart420]

Hi I'm a bike thief, and thanks to you I have stolen so many bikes! I cannot thank you enough 😀

[@NoahKuzel]

I have seen a couple of the Ramsey versus videos and the problem is the hardened steel. It is not so brittle that you can shatter it with a hammer using human strength, but because it is hardened it will shatter easier than non hardened steel will.

[@SuperVorpalbunny]

I prefer the 3" cordless grinder. Makes sparks, but always works on any lock.

[@admiralfaffy]

yea but it would also be louder and maybe heavier. though before I knew anything about the ramset, a cordless milwaukee grinder of 18 volt capacity or higher would've been my choice.

[@dirkdeboer6569]

works on any lock but at what cost? Bosnian Bill did a grinder attack on one lock and it was sparks and noise all over the place. pretty obvious.

[@comatose1818]

I think a top down attack on the locking mechanism should also provide enough shearing force to defeat the weakened shacke, also thought of attaching the pins on the chain, as those can just fly open bc of heavy use, has hapened to me a few times with bike chains, the other way I see this lock failing is by attacking the hinge on top of the shackle, really the thing most bike locks and motorcycle lock fail to provide is security agains specialized attacks, as you have demonstrated the attacks ussually exploit 1 or 2 key weakneses on the locks, It'd be interesting to see how a locl that adresses these issues would fare, maybe combining a heavy Boron Alloy chain with a padlock like the Titan would be enough to defeat most attacks, theough it could still be succeptible to a simple lockpicking attack, for that I've no idea how to solve that, bc most keyway protection methods aren't really that effective, maybe a 6 wing keyway in wich all the pins have to be set at the same time with verious lockpicking trap pins and anti drill attack pins should suffice, but at that point you're overengineering so much I don't have a clear idea as to how it would even be possible.

[@gregfun9045]

Nice but I hate to see good locks even the marshmallow core Master locks being destroyed. However if you could do a video picking the new LITELOC that would be great don't know if they can be bought in the USA yet. Great job as always. Thanks...

[@PrinceAlberts]

I would have liked to see you do the hinge pin, as well. That seems like a weak point that would be pretty easy to get to no matter how the lock is positioned.

[@bobbykeyz1263]

That was awesome. I've said it before. I love the videos but I hate the fact that your destroying these perfactly good locks. Although if your tossing these locks I would love to have a Ramset lock to put in my collection I'll pay for the shipping. ☺

[@davidwpinkston4226]

now i know how you acquired those wrist abrasions earlier

[@charlesdeens8927]

I guess the only way to protect against the ramset gun is to design the lock with sloping angles so the guns impact deflects off the lock, kinda like how a tanks armor is designed to deflect hits, or wrap the lock in a kevlar jacket thats secured to the lock when its locked.

[@TheBonelesstoast]

Do you select locks that you believe to be vulnerable to ramset attack or is a disturbing number of designs just weak? Anyways, It would make for an interesting video to see a lock stand up to one or more ramset strikes.

[@Rogerabushh]

Every lock in the world has its own individual vulnerabilities

[@revanstarbrow6099]

Watch this channel more. You'll notice most locks are scams by virtual criminals, not serious security devices.

[@DoctorX17]

I bet this is your favorite destructive method of getting into things

[@Leonslockpad]

Very cool this has been fun to watch😎😎😎👍👍😊😊

[@Kevin-19986]

The ramset may be more dangerous then a normal 9mm pistol

[@sst1911]

That's the best laugh I've had all day. Thanks.

[@SuperVorpalbunny]

Cranksters must love your most instructional videos. Thanks

[@robertjeffery3237]

Now that is a truly a Connecticut Connecticut kinetic attack!

[@AlbertStichkaJohn]

These videos make me wonder what it would be like if you were using a .45 blank powered concrete nailer

[@danielroglich3309]

That was great! Ramset did not disappoint

[@dr.g1]

Love these ramset videos,keep it up!

[@allenshepard7992]

Ramset gun is part of my zombie apocalypse bag. I'm also more aware of people carrying the nail guns. Thank you

[@johnzombi2854]

Motorcycle thieves have just evolved from the cordless hand grinder to the Ramset

[@vinnyvidivici]

You know Masterlock watching this and firing the fuck out of their design team, hahaha. "Welp, back to the drawing board, boys."

[@jaydubs6836]

I have absolutely no need for a Ramsey gun, but I feel like need one now

[@zcrib3]

Nice teaser with having the Master logo backwards.

[@naturalphotographer453]

Me with my ramset at airsoft game after someone shoots me in the balls *"FERB, I KNIW WHAT WERE GOING TO DO TODAY"*

[@chloehennessey6813]

OhMiGosh! I have one of those for my bike!!! It’s a little Yamaha 125. I also have one of your Reese trailer hitcher lock things! I got it at WalMart for my dads truck. P.S Ramsets and Hiltis version go through 3/8s inch mild steel ship hull as well as these locks. I think my Grandpa has the green tipped little brass bang caps in his garage. But he said I wasn’t to touch them because it’s dangerous

[@carlbelcherEDC]

Love this series! Does Ramset recommend not firing without a nail in the gun? Just curious if there is a chance of damaging the tool if you don't get a solid hit on the lock.

[@Taolan8472]

Dont know about ramset as a brand, but these types of nailguns typically have overtravel safeties to prevent the piston from sticking inside the mechanism.

[@keithbyrne8070]

Ooo but I don't think that lock was designed to be hit by the Ramset ha great job

[@Ms2mark]

LPL has been taking Assassin lessons it looks like.

[@AwfulErik]

So satisfying. If it wasn't for the fairly loud attention grabbing sound I would say this would be the number one exploit for a theif

[@amightysailingman]

I look at all these "ramset vs. bike lock" videos and wonder what kind of damage the shock force on the lock would do to a bike frame it's resting on, particularly a carbon fiber frame.

[@chessnut991]

Great job LPL! I haven't seen anything stand up to the Ramset yet... I wonder if anyone has an Abus 83/80 to sacrifice? That would be awesome! Thanks for the videos!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Been Pickin 83/80... hmm. 🤔

[@eddyl3748]

Wow that ramset gun looks good, the ones I have experience with use caps and look much cheaper/lower quality.

[@andygrant3468]

Not so tough under fire

[@ceasarsantiago847]

Thanks for the video would love to see the Ramset gun vs the pro auto lock for cars.

[@TomburiohTalun]

Now I'm considering locking my bike with the Ramset gun.

[@davidstowe5652]

Great job and good luck

[@SporkmanBW]

Seems like the Ramset is a sure-fire way into ANY lock, simply because they can't be built tough enough - you'll ALWAYS have a weakpoint to attack somewhere, and if it doesn't yield to the low-power cartridges a high-power one is always an option.

[@jeffwolf8018]

You didn't even go to nail into that thing did you that's pretty impressive I imagine what a red or yellow round would do to that thing and I believe the reds are the strongest ones I've been disabled and out of the construction business for some time now but I used to use those guns at it relatively normal basis for repair work on bottom plates of a house destroyed by dry rot or termite which was a pretty big ordeal and generally we will result in damage to the drywall or plaster on the inside the house when you're doing the work so you will have Wall repairs due to all the pounding and raising of the structure above the bottom Sill

[@MrN8007]

You should try a door breech with the ramset.

[@paulchaulk5305]

man you must have some fun doing this ! lol to hell with traditional picking I am getting a ramset(not)

[@JeffLMisc]

i wonder how the master cuffs stand up to the ol pipe wrench :)

[@codymoncrief2128]

Ramsets are basically captive bolt guns, but with much more power.

[@NIOC630]

Hi! Maybe you can try it on a normal front door lock, anton chigurh style. That could be fun !

[@jerrysberrys3415]

Ideas.I know you shot the side of a padlock but shoot the face of a padlock core it may not open but I just like seeing what sort of damage it would do to the core. And this may be a bit dangerous but put a nail in it and shoot in into the keyway and see what happens

[@ZRTMWA]

Did you think about punch out or through one of the pins on the chain connecting the cuffs? Would like to see if that works too. Cant wait to see more ramset videos!!!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Chris C Yes. See my twitter for pics.

[@KevinBReynolds]

Another great video. Thanks!

[@habibg2138]

Ramset Vs the forever lock V.2 And can you talk about using a hydraulic rebar cutter to attack a lock and is there a way to protect your lock from the hydraulic rebar cutter.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+habib g Send me the lock, and I'll give it a try. As for the rebar cutter... quality shackles and chains in excess of 12mm can often resist them because the chains/shackles are harder than the jaws. Thus, the jaws usually break and the shackles do not. 👍

[@mikaluostarinen4858]

habib g If you can put some steel tube or hydraulic hose to cover the shackle, it can be difficult to get cutter jaws into right position. Even though some hose couldn't withstand the power of cutter, it just isn't possible to open the jaws very wide in most cases.

[@smuckerst8355]

I bet this would work on the Masterlock 911 DPF which is their best lock. Can you put a nail in the gun, I want to see what would happen.

[@elementalist1984]

I was hoping for you to test a few more weak points. Like the lock core or the chain

[@RAkers-tu1ey]

... a good shot at the street cuff... , and minimal shrapnel in the off hand... (been there, done that fastening steel brackets to square steel columns)

[@shawngoodell772]

I think too many people today don't understand that hard does not mean better. Harder thinks break or shatter unlike softer things flex, deflect and bend long before they fail.

[@WineScrounger]

These are very short videos nowadays, there is probably a very small number of locks that will bear up under this sort of ferocious impact. Years ago I saw a Russian invention which was a piston driven shear powered by a rifle blank. It was for emergency rescue and demolition and would chop nearly anything but I can’t find anything about it. It’s like I dreamed it. Anyone else seen one of these things? I’d love to see one in action vs some “security” chains.

[@masterdiverm5237]

WineScrounger High voltage cables are cut by "explosive" shears, for obvious safety reasons.

[@WineScrounger]

MasterDiver M this was a hand held job so I don’t think it was for cables. It was really an adapted rifle with the action used as a gas generator, if that makes sense.

[@NateKK7]

Your videos rock most of the ramset vs lock videos could be used but I wouldn’t try this but still a cool video

[@MartinAston00]

A lot of people are so impressed by the Ram... I guess it’s cause it’s one quick shot... That doesn’t mean it’s a thieves best friend though(as many have suggested)...they are pretty loud and that’s a huge problem for someone trying not to be seen or heard. So I guess they’re ok for the blatant smash and grab guys, but other than that, all the locks we’ve seen it beat, can also be beaten with many other simple, quieter methods LPL has shown.

[@CrazySC833]

I think you mean "that harnesses the power of the sun"

[@lockpickinglawyer]

😂😂😂

[@paulandrada6674]

Do you have a video breaking the locks on the bikes? that way we can easily check and see how thieves would do it and determine how long it will take for a ramset to break it? I think that would be useful

[@gtbarsi1103]

I'd like to see if any other aspect of the Street Cuff can be defeated by the Ramset. Links, Lock, cuff hinge pin, etc...

[@andreaparcana]

You need a slow motion camera man your videos are nice and it would be nicer showing the slowmo

[@amightysailingman]

I wonder if this technique could be defeated or at least mitigated by locking the cuff the other way, so that the exposed tip is pointing down.

[@Subgunman]

Nice use for the Ramset nailer but I am a bit worried that the piston when fired actually protrudes out past the nose piece. I personally use a Hilti DX series nailer and instructions and experience say the front of the piston must remain within the nailer. I don't think this would pass OSHA regulations for use on a construction site but as an emergency lockout tool it should work great. Anyone want to try it on an MB door lock? Not to practical for any one to try and steal a bike, these tools make too much noise.

[@MetalGearSalad]

I keep coming back to see it fail and it works everytime. What will defeat the Ramset?!

[@jakobwheelhand9907]

Okay I think we've established that ram set destroys everything! To No surprise that is a hell of a piece of equipment! I also think one of the videos are going to end with you screaming and bleeding when either a piece of lock lodges horribly deep somewhere in your body or a ricochet from a concrete nail does the same! I hope this doesn't happen but if it does no i'll be one of the ones that said I told you so be careful bro what can happen. Will happen on a long enough timeline!!!!

[@sandorszabolcsi]

I almost bought this lock to protect my scooter what else do you recommend? great video

[@AtlasReburdened]

I'm just waiting for you to do a mini thermal lance series.

[@Goblingimp]

Always has crazy videos who even thinks of using a Ramsey gun to steal bikes I might to that that’s such a good idea lol 😂

[@syrenet]

I may not be the brightest student but one thing i learned from LockPickingLawyer is that i can "pick" pretty much any lock with Ramset. Ooorr if you just want to punch hole in steel for... Various reasons~

[@barryfields2964]

I wonder what would happen if you put the ramset on one of the rivets of the chain? And also you need a high speed camera
