Bolt Cutters VS. ABUS 83/80 Padlock Review Re-key Rekeying VS Angle Grinder

[@atfsgeoff]

The Squire SS80CS is larger in every dimension, weighs 4.85lbs by itself, and has a heavily shrouded 16mm shackle. It is designed to allow only one link of chain through it though, so it will only work with chains that have long end links to fit through each other. THANK YOU for your tests of these high security, very expensive padlocks! You're like the Consumer Reports of locks!

[@waynewinton]

Thanks!

[@Phen0mable]

well with that lock I would cut the chain not padlock

[@waynewinton]

My Chain it tougher than the lock 😀 look up bolt cutter proof chain here on KZbin

[@LKN4WAR]

atfsgeoff multilock used to sell an 18mm shackle. Stout.

[@Supraterrestrial]

i don't know how i ended up here, but this is oddly one of the most satisfying channels on KZbin

[@pauledwards9493]

Keep them coming please, even smaller models of locks like the 65 series Abus etc....

[@waynewinton]

I'm working on it.

[@vosaaudits]

THANK YOU for posting another great video, showing what we all need to know about which locks are the best for security. Thanks Wayne

[@videosuperhighway7655]

The Abus Granit insurance rated lock has the shrouds etc..

[@tedpark6814]

Hi Wayne, There's actually a larger, handy dandy window access to the pins if you turn the key counter clockwise after pushing the rekey pin in. It doesn't make much of a difference, but it's a bit easier to dump the original 0 bitting pins out that way. Also, if you want to use the original core and have 6 pins, there's a teeny bag with a top spool, spring, and a specially cut brass square piece so you can install 6 pins easily. I really appreciate you testing this lock by the way - it gives people like me a good idea how resistant that lock is to forced entry. You make a good point about how important shrouding is to making a lock resistant to bolt cutter attacks.

[@nedt]

absolutely brilliant! thank you for doing these tests.

Hi I like your videos, honest , thats what we want and get every time , keep them coming. ant suggestions on grinder proof or grinder resistant padlocks/ u locks for a bike or anything else for that matter?

[@Steel-Pinnings]

Very nice review, I sometimes wish all lock manufacturers watch the real review videos of there products... And here is the key... make the changes in there products to make them better.

[@waynewinton]

Me too

[@mohitmorris]

I'm sure companies do their research. Only, it makes business sense that most locks are manufactured with volume sales in mind. They would rather have a not-so-strong, cheaper lock, that they can sell 10 million units of, instead of having a super strong lock of which they can sell only 10 thousand units.

[@CamilaLopez-qy1dp]

thank you so much for all your videos i took my best decison buying a lock for my car hauler trailer good job

[@christopherlawler3033]

That ABUS 83/80 Padlock retails for about $120.00. From what the price book states, other keying options or adapters for high security cylinders such as Medeco, ASSA or Schlage Primus is also available for use with this padlock... in addition to a longer shackle diameter to accommodate larger chain (such as 14mm). The Abus 83/80 padlock sports a 5/8" diameter shackle. Whereas American & Master Lock only offers a maximum shackle diameter of 7/16" on their largest of padlocks.

[@TheGeezzer]

The angle grinder was literally like a very hot knife through very warm butter, 10 seconds and it was through! 🤠💨😎. The Abus 83/80 is about $115.00 depending on where you shop around.😑

[@TheGeezzer]

Abloy PL362 meets Abus 83/80 whilst strollin....Abus awestruck for sure n steps aside fast as ain't dissin this bad-ass...Abloy nods but no change in gait or style, saunters past breezing chill-easy, no sweat bro just passin thru! 🤖💨😎

[@slinkytreekreeper]

S and G are available on ebay and always have been. Only the military ones are restricted until sold 2nd hand. They are stupid expensive though so the Abus still takes the cake.

[@retroe3076]

well, at first nice Video. I think that this lock is really strong. an normal thief can't make such a big cut to this lock. and i might buy this lock.

[@mikemiller8661]

Love the videos Wayne! Thanks for providing much needed detail and info. I have a custom mountain bike coming my way soon, and the thought of losing it is terrifying. Question - would you prefer this lock to to your custom ASSA built lock?

[@waynewinton]

The ASSA is much more secure.

[@lifeisgood070]

What kind of lock would you recommend for a pelican toolcase? hole is like 8.5mm in diameter and requires 13/16" or 1" of shackle length

[@shockingguy]

lifeisgood070 Check this video out, this is what TSA does to a Locks when they’re assholes. You might also enjoy this guys channel he’s a major speaker at hacker cons, knowledgeable in very many areas. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nne4ppyebteiqLM

[@doddgarger6806]

Guarded shackle and placement up high where croppers can't be pushed against anything makes things much more difficult

[@ZX-ly9yz]

So no matter which lock you can always get the grinder to cut it?

[@leviw1947]

What size pewag chain did u use for this lock demo. Im looking for this type of setup in a hi theft area. Thank you very very much for the video.

[@alexng4]

He uses a 12mm Pewag.

[@christopherlawler3033]

The angle grinder attack is scary. However, there isn't any security devices that are commercially available to adequately resist this sort of an attack... Another scary attack method is the use of a plasma torch or a thermal lance. Both are equally as effective and destructive.

[@ButterBallTheOpossum]

I mean if you wanna Putin that much effort you might as well steal the bike at gunpoint lol

[@DonzLockz]

Glad to see you testing these locks to extremes but also sad and difficulty seeing you beat it up with a hammer! Yeah, super hard shackles like anything similar will eventually crack but no normal human even with the largest bolt cutters in the field will open that lock like you said.. (without a grinder). The Squire is not available in Australia so I'll be getting the Abus and probably upgrade the core and still come out with change. They now make a CS so that'll be in the cart soon! Thanks for doing these tests and reviews Wayne! ;)

[@surg23]

Why don't they just use the same grade steel as the Pewag chain for the lock shackle ?

[@juanbaclavab]

that's a square link chain, it's much more difficult to get thru using bolt cutters.

[@toddsmithselbow1732]

@@juanbaclavab Begs the question, then why not use a square shackle on the padlock? Some of the Abus u lock use the squared shackle.

[@juanbaclavab]

@@toddsmithselbow1732 I have no idea why there are no squared shackle padlocks but a bolt cutter attack would still defeat them in the perfect circumstances anyways. Anything below 16mm can be cropped no matter the hardness or type of alloy as Irwin 42 inch croppers have a maximum tensile force of 16 tonnes. If it can't be cut it can be broken, it's physics, it has to do with the angle of the handles of the cutters. 16mm and above of hardened steel is completely impossible to crop manually

[@toddsmithselbow1732]

@@juanbaclavab Well it seems like certain instances even 12.7mm is almost bolt cutter proof. I'm not sure if by being square it's more material than a 12.7mm round chain counterpart or what. But it seems like if this Abus's 15mm round shackle was even 14mm squared and hardened like that Pewag chain, it would have stood up to it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5vInXuciZaipKM

[@mikemullenix6956]

That pewag chain withstood the big daddy bolt cutter

[@heyb6268]

Hey Wayne! Love the channel man. Been watching your videos everyday before work it's starting to become part of the daily routine haha. I have a Honda Ruckus scooter that I am trying to protect as best as I can and so far you have inspired me to order some Pewag. I'm just having trouble deciding on a pad lock. Do you know of some of the better padlocks that are shackle shrouded and can hold the 7/16 / 12mm pewag chain? Keep it up man this channel is great

[@waynewinton]

ThX!

[@MrSupertings]

Hi Wayne what size pewag chain are you using there a 12mm?

[@Hear2Help]

have you done a video on the Abus 37/80 padlock?

[@LKN4WAR]

Bob Long Yeah good luck trying to bolt cut that lock esp with a chain loop through it. Lol 37/80 is excellent lock imo.

[@JCoelhofficial]

Well, nice channel Wayne! I just bought a new motorcycle and I am looking for a way to prevent someone from stealing it, I am thinking of buying this ABUS 83/80 + a Pewag chain 1/2 inch (who uses inches? mm ftw xD) with grade 120. What do you think of it? Is it completely anti bolt cutters? I live in Portugal so they usually don't steal bikes with grinders here. Keep up the good work, new bikers and people interested in securing something have a lot to search the web for the real, and genuine tests, your channel saved me some precious time. Thanks ;)

[@waynewinton]

Yes that would work!

[@yankeeroad626]

Great video showing how good the Abus series are but may want to ever look into a better camera or better editing SW. that floating zoom and panning is a bit annoying on the eyes.

[@AlexRocks24-7]

great review as always. many thanks

[@Hear2Help]

just sent a pic to your email with two pics of how I prevent the jaws from getting a good hold on to the shackle, let me know what you think please

[@Hear2Help]

I got 5 of these off amazon.com (chepaer there) and I also have a fagettabout it lock (18mm) plus two peweg 3012 chains and one 14mm abus chain to secure my zero turn lawn mower, two chains are wrapped around the axel

Would shackle guards on this lock allow for two 1/2" chain links?

[@DC-sn6mt]

Can anyone do a titalium padlock vs an angle grinder test please?

[@bitTorrenter]

The shackle is not 9/16", but rather 19/32"

[@64akon]

they do shrouded version the Abus Rock 83CS/80

[@waynewinton]

couldent find it in the US.

[@64akon]

you should try the shackle stamped "special alloy" instead of the "nano protect" they aren't the same shackle

Good infromation

[@HighSpeedNoDrag]

Just curious, what does the Tat on your left hand, below knuckle signify/mean? FYI, I came across you website in my own personal effort to increase and or become more secure in my home/condo.There are those who do in life and those who Do Not. Your in the Do category and then some.

[@waynewinton]

I hate wearing jewelry. it my wedding ring. Wifey has the lock in same spot 😉

[@jeffgreene6042]

You didn't have have time to take off your helmet or Bluetooth ear piece?

[@2815Juan]

No one is dumb enough to attempt to cut that shackle with any bolt cutter in the field. These days I don’t even carry bolt cutters. My cordless grinder is all I use. Note: I don’t think there’s a strongman alive today that can use the bolt cutters you used to cut that shackle open with just their muscle

[@Docgy]

Helpful awesome !! Thank !!!

[@FawadTariq2014]

Wayne you are offering a great service to the public, have you thought about doing a croud funding page though, at leaset if successful you wouldn't need to spend your own money, just a thought

[@jreviews5924]

I would bet any amount of money that no one is walking into your garage and cutting that lock with bolt cutters. That’s why my atvs are secured with it.

[@avazekhon]

thanks for the video man

[@JollyPeanut]

Great video "subbed"

[@JohnHoranzy]

Battery angle grinders are a universal keys. There are videos of thiefs cutting locks in public view. I will stay with my Harbor Freight monster lock.

[@MrSupertings]

bit disappointing on the angle grinder test though, he cut through it like its butter

[@weedylock]

thats why you need close shackle lock

[@billadmond9450]

This method of using the blot cutter is outdated as now bike thieves use cordless grinders. They do this in UK during day light with plenty of people around and they just don't care.
