He doesn't even mention the most important part in the video:
"Testing in our workshop demonstrates that the 1.25” titanium bow survives a 48” bolt cutter attack and that sawing is extremely difficult and time consuming due to the ‘springy’ nature of the titanium bow at a third the weight of a common U-lock."
- tlear 15y agothis is really important, you can actually buy a u-lock that has parts built to be flexible just for that reason. This thing would be naturally hard to saw through
- jcampbell1 15y agoI bet I can cut through that thing with a sawzall in about 5 seconds or less. Titanium, unlike steel, can't be case hardened, and it cuts like butter. Case hardened steel is hard to cut because the outside is as hard as the saw blade. They know that lock doesn't stand up to a sawzall, so they aren't marketing it based on the security, because it will quicky be proven insecure.
