Because it's in their best interest not to show someone breaking their lock they are selling. Also, for that same reason, they do not show their lock on the same one that they were testing all the other ones on.

Thank you for your input. The coupler used for the testing of the Coupler Vault Pro was different than the previous coupler because the previous video was filmed several years ago. We no longer had that same trailer to test on. We modified the original video by shortening it as that model of Coupler Vault was no longer available.

All the other locks were defeated on a static trailers. In the final test the trailer tongue had a wheel on the bottom decreasing the applied torque from the pry bar. One of the other locks was defeated after 8 minutes. On the Vault the camera stopped after less than a minute when only one tool was used. Theres no saying how much longer it would last and if other tools might work better. If there's more exhaustive testing I might change my mind, but for now, thumbs down, no sale.

So why did you only use one method trying to remove the Megahitch Lock and why did you not put it on the same coupler you did your test for the other locks? I suspect the reason why is the Megahitch can be defeated as easily as the other ones in the video. This is not an apples to apples comparison and you loose all credibility because you did not use multiple tools and attache it to the same trailer coupler.
