 Okay, well while I have the camera set up, I'm going to unbox this L-Max Just a tanner lock. It was one of the last locks I haven't fiddled with in the Bosnian bill traveling lock Box, so I'll just take it out and do a superficial examination of it and then see if I can figure out how to open it Just looking at this I've had it sitting on my table for a couple days now, and so I've sort of stared at the at the packaging and one thing I noticed is That Right there in the corner it says Abloy key or leave a tipo alloy. I can't read Spanish or Italian or whatever that is I think it's I think it's Spanish But I thought that was kind of interesting Because they're using a trade name for a lock that is clearly not made by ASA Abloy And which is Made in China, and I'm pretty sure Abloy doesn't make their locks in China That's interesting. This is already this is something itself. I'm just gonna Hopefully use this cool Tool To open this up if I can I Supposed to make this safer Safe for me may not be as safe for the tool anyhow as usual the case Harder to open now. I don't know about you, but that doesn't look like an Abloy key to me I've got a number of Abloy locks and one of them has a key that looks like that quite on Bidding is zoom zoom focus Okay, bidding is Moderate has actually more bits than a lot of these Chinese locks do and there's the There's the keyway, okay Now this has all of the hallmarks of one of the locks that of the locks that bill was eviscerating on his series of Bill brutalizes the Chinese discotainer locks and I assume that if I were to take a my screwdriver and Or a different screwdriver and stick it in there that I could Very likely get that out, but I'm not going to do that because it's not my lock and Someone else might like to do that so but what I will do is just see if I can operate it and I Don't know if you can hear that, but that's pretty crunchy in there You can Pretty crunchy, and I would say pretty lousy tolerances And it opens Okay, and See but Does have a Focus Focus No, maybe you can see it's hard to tell on the lcd screen But there is a ball there and we have to assume that there's another ball on the other side Cutouts are not too bad Does appear to be A stainless steel Body some time now that's steel that's steel. So not stainless. It's just regular steel And we can do a quick test somewhere out of the way Now that's a pair of tweezers This is not even particularly hard metal and that is scratching the living bejesus out of that body You can see my Handy work there. I'm like a few more marks just so you can see Okay, these are just tweezers So I may be ruining but I'm making some decent gouges in there So if tweezers can do it a hacksaw is gonna eviscerate that and just the body of the lock in moments Let's test the shackle Again with the tweezers It doesn't look like much, but I think the chrome is coming off and I'm gouging the metal a little bit but not too badly My handy-dandy carbide should cut this a little better But I'd say that's that's a decently hardened shackle. That's not too bad So that that might be legit I'm not gonna bust out a hacksaw and mess it up further Anyway, so there's that a Hermax or our max if your French I don't know how the hell you pronounce in Spanish, but it's a Charlie Hotel Romeo dash six zero alpha block just a tainer I can tell by Just the feel I mean it sometimes doesn't even want to You take it out and it doesn't even want to open but So that is steel there. Let's just test that this is the thing that's protecting the lock core and that You can Hopefully see my hand to work again and see the scratch that the tweezers made in there So that's not hardened steel so well, I'm blabbling on about this lock you've got a Very nice looking, you know nicely machined smooth and everything lock With a what I would say is probably a pretty decent shackle for this grade of lock But you've got a body that is soft steel and you've got the thing that is protecting Your core is made out of a soft steel And I think I can even see the circlip There were the little retaining spring that holds this thing in so I'm certain it's one of those ones like they'll had and I'll give someone else the pleasure of destroying it So Looks can be deceiving Kind of a neat lock, but I wouldn't say it's very high security so and it's definitely not an Abloy Despite what they say so There you go Hermax lock opened unboxed. I'm gonna go fiddle with it and see if I can open it with my very poor Just to tame her opening skills. We'll see Thanks for watching Pardon the horrible camera work look at the beautiful San Jose, California sunshine and Have fun And keep it legal Cheers. Thanks for watching
