I think the point of these devices is to be psychological; to make a thief consider if it is worth the time and risk of being caught. I don't think they are meant to be unbeatable, just take as much time and added risk as possible to the criminal.
This is something my Dad said all the time growing up. Any lock can be beaten, the purpose of a lock is to make it not worth the effort needed to steal whatever you are protecting.
I think it's also that a lot of these devices are not common anymore, so it's unlikely a car theif will have the tools to beat the locks and will most move on to a different car.
Might have been true in the past, but now this just screams "this car has no immobilizer, the owner has to use anti theft devices".
This is so true. You want a device that thrives know will take too long to open so they will pick another car.
theres alot of risks that come also from these methods. the last thing you want to be doing is making noises so using a drill or in the alarm ones case the noise that produces they will consider that in the is it worth stealing . then all it would take is judging one wrong (like how tylertube though the 1st one on the wheel was going to be a 2 second job) so i think the psychological factor does play a big part
i really think sound factor is important. the one with the alarm one i feel that one also is not being looked at in the right way. its not so much about stopping someone breaking it. but its about alerting and potentially spooking someone whos stealing it which can make them make more mistakes (as you would feel on a time limit) or even abandon the steal. on top of this any attached to the steering wheel may of caused the horn to go off ( in the exsample cars case it has no alarm but if you kept hitting it with a hammer that may of caused the horn to go off again causing noise )
the only time noise may not be much of a factor is if your in the middle of nowhere. if your in a town center or car park or theres houses and such around noise plays a much bigger part
Tyler screaming "IT'S STILL ALIVE!" and beating the steering wheel lock is probably one of the funniest things I've seen on this channel.
I like that part too 😂😂
That and him nearly breaking his wrist from that drill!
I was so looking forward to this part...it didn't disappoint!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
A car with a hidden battery kill switch and hidden fuel pump switch both in separate locations is the best vehicle anti theft. Get a manual transmission car for even more protection here in the US 😂
Just remove the small rotary arm on the distributor,
No Spark No bang
Lol, so every time you park you have to open the hood and remove the distributor arm?
I like to loosen my tie rod nut at night
My car isn’t worth stealing. Can leave it unlocked downtown and it will still be there lol
Better ideas are out there for kill switches. For instance there is a device that requires a certain sequence of button presses to start the vehicle. Even heard of one guy that turned his cigarette lighter into a kill switch on his classic car. Though that would be irrelevant to a vehicle manufactured today since apparently people don’t smoke and drive anymore.
The e-brake/shifter lock could probably be defeated even faster by just unscrewing the shift knob lol. No tools needed.
Yeah that's one reason they were never that good. Some times you could also get the lock cylinder to come off with just a wiggle or maybe one hit with something stout, didn't even need to be a hammer.
@@FireculAnything can be a hammer.
That's why they lost popularity in the uk in the early 90s
I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t work.your better of trying to take the lock off then to get at a screw that’s covered by the lock. Plus that’s if it even has one. Plus that’s more work then what Tyler did
@xaphan8581 most shifters dont have a screw. Most of the are literally just twisted on
The last one was a success. No thief is gonna sit there for 15min drilling and drilling.
Right? 😂😂
Tyler drilling at a downward angle toward his leg is the most Tyler move ever
I know from experience a 1/2 inch drill bit will leave a really nice bullet hole shape in your leg and ruin a good pair of jeans
And yet another reason why we know he is no longer a mechanic
A real thief just cuts a chunk out of the steering wheel to quickly defeat the club type anti theft device. They should be called deterrences. Time matters so usually they just pick a easier way or mark
you can just cut the lock itself super easily with a cordless grinder, one cut and its done
A real thief bypasses the deterrent and moves to the easier target. Not rocket science but also not theft prevention. Just deterrent
You're right. Hard to test on a vehicle you care about. Bolt cutters and a hacksaw are universal keys
on many cars you would need a tool to pull out the lock.
or else you need to apply the force of 3 men to the lock
more quiet and fast
Unless you have a fence, good look selling the stolen car that's obviously stolen...
I'm surprised Tyler has not hit 1 million yet. His Consumer Reports are amazing.
If Tyler can break the lock, then the Lockpicking Lawyer can do it in a second.
LOVE that channel. I actually miss hearing "I'll be using the pick that Bosnian Bill and I made..." That tool is just COOL!
McNallyoffical would like a word
@@joshmusicmix9459No posts in a year? Must not want MUCH of one. Hehe. Not picking a fight, just funnin with ya.
@@mackmcmillan9905 lol he does alot of shorts
I'm actually fairly certain I've watched him pick all of these devices.
They advise putting the Club steering wheel lock on backwards. This would make it harder to drill out the key tumbler. I think the easiest way to disengage these lock mechanism is through drilling out the key tumbler.
I always put mine on backwards. No way they are going to drill it out.
That, and my seat belt clipper and by the time you saw/ cut the steering wheel for those two items, I got another 4 barriers to you owning my vehicle.
Hope you packed a lunch/ some beer/ and have medical coverage.
If you wanted to be like a real criminal you would have a battery powered angle grinder 🤷♂️
portable jigsaw with metal blade is much quieter :P
@@wolfenpixelsAn angle grinder would be faster it won't matter if it makes noise you would already be driving off anyways.
Oh yeah let me just take my loud ass power tools into a quiet neighborhood and use em to steal stuff smart
angle grinder its a joke right
remind me i will never do any crime with you 🤣
in this case one of those things that pulls out locks are better and more quiet.
you wont start many cars from that age with a angle grinder (and good luck turning the lock on a mercedes with a screwdriver for example)
Professional thieves use a slide hammer to yank the ignition core and the core out of those locking devices in seconds. The deterrent is to make it take more time to steal the car so they'll go steal something easier.
on a expensive car those things are no deterrent..
starting the is the real job, those thing are out in seconds
And then you've got new cars where there is no ignition to yank out and it just won't do anything if the key is missing (yes, I'm aware of the fancy relay attacks and stuff you can do if you have the hardware) @@Hansen710
The going somewhere else is the whole point of the operation.
Your car will do just fine thank you very much.
In my area, 14-year-old kids do the stealing and get paid $1,000 bucks per car.
If caught the big guys are 'not involved ' nor are the 14-year-old kids doing any jail time or have a record.
You hurt one of them, and YOU ARE GOING TO JAIL!
See. That is how things are today in North America, and Europe I assume. England at least.
The Lock Picking Lawyer would probably have that boot off the tire in about 10 seconds. 😂
You breaking that one steering wheel lock bar with your bare hands followed immediately by you absolutely pummeling the life out of the alarmed one with a hammer had me in tears. I honestly needed this video after a long day at work 😂😂
Honestly I love all your reviews, they never fail to make me smile. Thanks for all your hard work, Tyler!!!
having a manual transmission in america is all you need now days for it to be anti theft lol
True lol
Lol I drive manual car and a manual semi I came out of truck stop one night after fueling to some crackhead trying to get my truck to move. He couldn't figure out how to get it in gear😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. He found out what asphalt that hasn't been cleaned of fuel oil and god knows what else in years tasted like when I ripped him out of my rig
ah yes, because it takes so much skill to push down an extra petal and flip a lever when you want to change gears
may your halogen headlight bulbs be oily, and your wiring loom chewed by rats
@@Hankbob_Hillpants not from the states are ya? lol outside of truckers and a handful of people literally nobody learns to drive manual here
Barely anyone under 30 in Canada can drive a stick. Sad, but true.
New video idea, put the locking bar on the steering wheel directly over the airbag and see if you can blow it apart by deploying the airbag
Yes! Do this
Great idea
There are smarter ways of attacking these sorts of things that we have seen on other channels but Tyler does a good job of replicating the "caveman way" of attacking these devices. At the end of the day a few hidden kill switches are your best bet to keep the car even at the cost of a likely wrecked interior.
And a tow truck will defeat any amount of kill switches.
@@Justme-jt1ef Agreed it is indeed the "nuclear option" for car theft but at the same time how many guys are running around with tow trucks stealing cars?
@@Hybris51129 you’d be surprised.
Tyler…beating the steering wheel stick with a hammer was the best thing I’ve even on CZcams all week👌
Yeah tbh if they have power tools your car is getting jacked no matter what. You lose. If they’re caveman Tyler you might have a chance lol
Is it just me or did we want to see Tyler try to crawl forward with the car to see it the cars weight would break the boot?!😮😊
I’ve watched so many of these videos where they test antitheft devices and I have come to notice that anybody with a industrial strength grinder can get through anything
I dunno about you guys, but I watch Tyler's videos just like a asmr, something to chill to, I have never bought any of those things he tested. Thanks for making such long and casual videos!
I do the same thing
I have two tire locks and two steering wheel locking devices and 3 electrical issues they won't fix before I go out and say 'hi' with my tree limb-cutting device.
That is my protection.
Should be a party ...
I've learned when Tyler says "it'll probably take me 2 seconds" it will definitely take way longer than 2 seconds lol
I was so anxious with the steering wheel lock. I just kept thinking he was gonna somehow trip the airbag 😂
Same
I feel like I had to scroll wayyyy to far to see this comment
Yep. Especially when he started banging the screwdriver on it. I was like, "We are about to see this airbag pop and that screwdriver is about to become a projectile..."
Car is beat to hell.
“I don’t wanna pop my tire.”
😂😂
Aaaa. I wasn't planning on stealing his vehicle.
The Interior looks nasty too. lol
Back when I used to repo cars, we had tools to bend the club and remove them faster than drilling. They also suggest that you use the club with the lock towards the gouges to make it harder to access the lock. But our bending tool still snaps them in two.
Just remember, a good lock is never gonna be pick proof. It just has to be a good deterrant.
Till I have at least phoned the police ( if they show up that is) and go out and see if I can help out.
For the paperwork, the ambulance drivers all need before going up to emerg.
They say you can have a normal life with no gonads, but that will be up to 'HIM' & how fast he can run ...
The club steering wheel lock is easily defeated by cutting the steering wheel too. Usually they just make a slice in the wheel and pull it off on about a minute.
And the car wouldn’t be beeping it’s head off while they do it
Ya, a simple hacksaw cut, you can bend the wheel and slip the thing right off. Making those things completely worthless these days. It’s a quiet hack also.
Cutting the steering wheel on late model cars does create complications for the thief if he wants to fence the entire vehicle intact. Nowadays, many steering wheels house the horn, airbag, heating element, and wires leading to dashboard audio controls. Some cars even have paddle shifters mounted to the steering wheel. Note that cutting the steering wheel will disable some of the car's functions, and the wheel would be expensive to replace.
Strong guns the way he broke the wheel lock in half bare handed lol
This has to be the funniest video yet....that alarm was GOLD🤣 This could easily be an infomercial for the boot...if it can survive Tyler in his garage, a thief doesn't have a chance in heII.
Cannot explain the perfect timing of this video. My friend just got his car stolen last night. They found it (luckily unscathed) and he got it back but I wanted to buy him something so that this wouldn't happen again. The problem being, I was concerned about the durability of some of the products I was finding and my first thought was, "I'm going to see if TylerTube has done a video on some anti-theft lock devices..." Haha.
Hello kitty stickers all over the dash should do it.
@@christienelson1437as someone who had cutesy stickers on it (including plushies), I can tell you that that was not a deterrent for a thief lol
What did you end up getting him? :)
@@lillykatediaz The standard steering wheel lock with the red on it in this video. Mainly because it wasn't unbreakable but the amount of time it would take to remove it should stop someone from wanting to take the car. It seemed to be one of the hardest/took the longest to get off from the video aside from the actual tire lock, which seemed inconvenient for the car owner as well. Haha.
Just imagine he loses all the keys after putting all the devices in and then has to explain why he wants him to remove twenty anti theft devices
For a car looking like that
@@vcknol2538🤣
I don't think they're meant to be impenetrable. They're just meant to be too much hassle and time to bother with. The longer a theft takes to do, the easier the thief can get caught.
All crooks are lazy. That is why they steal things and like going to jail for periods of their miserable lives.
Tyler these theft classes are really insightful man. Your wisdom is always needed in how to steal car/bike professionally Lmao.😂
“IT’S STILL ALIVE”
proceeds to beat the living hell out of it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He gave me a much needed laugh with that 😂
Most lock cylinders can be drilled out in a few seconds with an ordinary drill bit.
A towing company did that to my truck, had to replace the steering column
At least we know your not a criminal. Lol your videos are always entertaing.
You are a cool guy!
I have the best anti-theft device in America...A manual transmission. I had someone try to steal it and they made it to the end of the street and that's where they left it 🤣
My neighbor asked to borrow my car for work one day when hers wasn't working, I handed her the keys. Couple minutes of silence went by and then she came back and asked if I could drive her 😂
Don't even really need a key if you have a hill and can pop the clutch
I was always told that locks are for honest people, to keep honest people honest.
locks only stop a honest thief is how I've always heard it
I hope your hand isn't hurt too bad. I think with an angle grinder you can probably get them all out...
Had fun watching this video. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
21:25 - Brother, you just found the BEST protection in 2023 for anti theft... The dreaded THIRD PEDAL.
Just owning a vehicle with a manual transmission would prevent many would-be thieves from taking your vehicle these days.
Or change all the controls to cursive writing
I really hope he has the airbags disconnected in that car I've heard too many horror stories about airbags going off when someone is near it with a screwdriver
I wish they'd make more "interesting" antitheft devices, or more along the lines of defeating the thieves after its stolen. I've always thought inventing/putting a throttle control device that simply wouldn't let the throttle/car decelerate once pressed... basically the pedal stays down as far as its pushed and won't come back up. Baitcams would be way more amusing.
My man has the greatest anti theft device right in front of his face, a manual car. Lol
Ironically, the cable through the steering wheel method is what the military uses 😂
I was kind of curious about the seat belt wheel lock. Some of the others were pretty interesting to see, especially the shift to parking brake lock.
Best antitheft ive ever seen..my uncle had a k5 blazer, he put a coil and buzz box in the bottom of console, wired to a foil strip under seat cover..if you powered on the ignition without flipping his hidden switch, you got about 2000 jolts a minute of hei spark voltage to the genitals.. i own the truck now..without the antitheft..because i know me..i would have forgotten to flip the switch at some point..
That second device, i bet you can just unscrew shift knob and take it of without any tools.
Thanks for this helpful video! I'm gonna use the steering wheel bar until I get time to properly install a fuel pump switch on my 1984 Toyota Pickup truck.
Best anti-theft today is a stick shift!
Lol
It takes like 5 minutes to learn 🤣It ain't that deep bro.
@@Michael-hn8bo 🧢
@Michael-hn8bo ever seen a manual semi there's more than 6 gears one I drive is 10 I've seen 8 10 13 and 18 speeds lol. But also in a semi you don't need to use the clutch cept for starting then you can float the gears by getting rpms up
@@Michael-hn8bo And who's gonna teach them on the fly while they're trying to steal a car? Their "bruh?" He can't drive it either!
lol someone needs a yard sale
My new chat up line...
"Are you aluminum? Because you look like the perfect candidate to get drilled out."
I still use a club. The longer part you have on the left so there’s no room to move at all because it’s wedged between the windshield and door. And I flip it upside down so the keyhole is face downward.
Tyler, you are so fun to watch. You have an uncanny level of mechanical knowledge mixed with a charisma that is compelling and entertaining with an icing on this cake made of "I'm very uncertain if this man is dumb as all hell or just a really good actor." And all this means at the end of the day you may have been born specifically for this job. Not fate, but instead, manifesting a fate into existence so that you yourself could fulfill it. Keep up the good work. I love this channel.
I'm convinced a box of bananas could outsmart this guy
Definitely
Atleast now we know how to lock Tyler out of our cars.
That may be so but he’d outsmart you 😂
Not even a whole box.
Hes smart. Making money. I always love his reviews.
Just cut a key wire under the hood that even mechanics couldn't find that prevents your car from starting, free anti-theft save for toe truck drivers.
When i would remove the club in the 90s it was going to a chop shop anyway. Cut the wheel once and you can bend it open enough to remove the club.
You should send the ones with locks to lock picking lawyer!
Best antitheft car device is simple reed switch.
Claymores work well, but only in a secluded farm area.
Still got the shovel.
Easy ways to bypass these security measures:
1. remove the whole wheel and replace with the car's spare;
2. unscrew the shifter knob and lift the whole assembly off, then replace the knob;
3. Cut the steering wheel, remove the lock;
4. Undo the seatbelt clip and the whole thing comes off
5. Cut the steering wheel (again)
6. Cut the steering wheel
7. You probably actually found the quickest way.
8. Cut the steering wheel
What about my Doberman that lives in its kennel next to where I park my vehicle?
His name is Butch.
Say hello to Butch. I always keep him just a little bit hungry. Very quiet dog. Never barks.
@@luckyguy600 I always carry around a nice juicy beef bone to treat good boys like Butch
the first one was hilarious and typical Tyler "this is going to come off so easy" then he proceeds to struggle with it for a half an hour LOL, nobody is going to spend that amount of time trying to steal a car lol
Just take the starter and fuel pump relay with you
I used to do this when I had to park in shady parts of downtown. Just the fuel pump relay though. The thief would have to be very dedicated to diagnose and fix it while the alarm is going off.
The distributors rotary Arm is a good one too.
I always appreciate your content, thanks Tyler and cheers from France)
Tres bon, mon amie,
😘 😊 😘
The one for steeling wheel breaks super easily with a small
Prybar or yank on it super hard. Also luky the air bag didn’t go off lol
19:04 why am i getting Jeremy Clarkson vibes from him smashing that diesel fuel alarm thing? 😂
Any sort of a steering wheel lock needs to be made so that you can't simply cut it off by cutting through the steering wheel
Not really. A thief is just going to move along to a car that he doesn't need to cut the wheel to steal.
I lived and worked in the bronx when the club came out. That's exactly what thieves did hck through the wheel.
@@briangereau788 That's your only hope is that they don't have a $5 hand saw and decide to move. Otherwise, you're missing a car if you think one of those steering wheel locks is going to be any sort of security.
@@Arahknid that's why they're theft-deterrents and don't claim to be theft-proof. Any smart thief is going to look for the path of least resistance instead of trying to take an extra step.
Unless they really want YOUR car for some reason, they'll usually move on.
@@briangereau788 Right, we are saying the same thing.
The weirdest alarm i saw filled the cabin full of smoke along with an alarm and kill switch.
And a voicebox that says "you are now being neutralized."
@@ksavage681 youre now being nuetered 😆 and a drill sound
Aaaa You have an EV, Super. Power door locks that lock are a little bit of a 'nice touch' to a cremation.
I'm glad the air bag didn't go off when you were hammering
The hillbilly rigged 12Volts on the side of center dashboard is what got me 😂
Btw use 5th gear, almost will guarantee it to stall
Pure comedy well done tyler
I absolutely love how the heavy duty steering wheel protector was getting beaten up and it didn't do anything, but the moment Tyler sat back and stopped beating it up and didn't even touch it was when its alarm went off. Funniest thing ever. 😂😂
Was funny. That lock has a time delay tho. So 10 seconds after movement, it’ll go off unless unlocked (to give you time to unlock it). It’s just a deterrent to make some car thieves run when it goes off.
@@martinjamesdaley Ohhh ok that makes sense lol.
2013 Ford fiesta, my e-brake and shifter are in the correct position for the lock but I park in gear because the brake sticks, I can't use it, so that's a no go for my use - also part of the no horn club but I bought an air horn made for boating 😅 ...FUN VIDEO!!
Soooo,did you give any thought to how you were going to get these off if you destroyed the lock mechanism without getting it off?
next video you can use an angle grinder too!!
My favorite thing about this Chanel is watching Tyler tackle problems his own ways
I just discovered a new gem... put playback speed to 2x and watch the parts where Tyler speeds up his video. It's so funny, especially the hammering 🤣
First device is actually quite good, given the fact that the main goal is to make life harder for the thiefs. Especially that they won't spend too much time trying to steal one car in particular.
Except maybe in Europe where a certain kind of scum in particular steal in broad daylight because they face no consequences.
The first device when a burglar comes and sees it on the Wheel he’s just gonna tear it off by getting your car started and try to break it off by moving the car forward and tearing up your car at the same time.
Watching him smash that alram with the hammer brought me more joy than it should have.
Tyler is overlooking the fact that he has the best anti theft device out there called a manual transmission
“ITS STILL ALIVE”
* proceeds to beat it to death*
The LockPickingLawyer enters chat: All these locks open themselves.
I love this channel so much it's has interesting experiments with items
There is nothing more fun than watching a professional underestimate a device that they originally didn't think it was going to go the distance, but really out performs expectations.
When I was watching him work on the 1st one, I honestly thought he almost had it off a couple times, but it was just sliding around making it harder to take off. I cannot believe after he bashed the key hole with a hammer and wedge it still worked! Very Impressive!
A cyber security expert that part-time teaches at my college and full-time manages a cyber security research team for the EPA put it best, "No security mechanism is perfect, but it only needs to be better than the guy next door's."
Also, if you have more than one device, then no matter how enticing, the second they beat one and find out there's another, they'll bounce.
And that 5-speed transmission is the most effective anti-theft device of them all 😂
you could also just screw the shifter knob off and then slip it over the shaft and remove it. LOL
A theif definitely would not stand around making all that noise beating that first anti theft device off. 😂😂
Perfect timing! Just bought a new car and was considering a number of these to assisst with the alarm and stuff.
"I bet by beating this part down, I can probably then bea-uh... bend it off." A lifetime of thinking happened in that instance of pause.
🎉🎉🎉🎉! I would think that the combo of all those would very much slow down the thief! Cause he would have to break through all those devices!!! 😂😂😂🎉
If you revisit the subject, a disklock would be interesting. Covers whole steering wheel.
The tire clamp is the most effective safety for thief.... Specially if you put more than one clamp... And your car window is also safe caause if thief saw that your tire cant move then they would not effort to broke your car window.. Also theres a big tire clamp that almost imposbile to bypass unless you use power tools.. it like a giant vise grip on your tire
omg, I didn't know I needed it, but I needed to see tyler just going crazy on that alarm lock with a hammer.
6:20 bruh his face when the gears made that clunk😂
Most of these are meant to deter a thief from wanting to steal your car, since they have to defeat the anti-theft device, rather than simply stealing a car that doesn't have one.
But that first one isn't one anyone would want to use as an owner. Far to much futzing around putting it on and off.
it would take you about 3 days to work out how to slap it on with no effort
@@jayperkins2100 IKR?!?
I really wish the horn worked for these tests lol
20:41 when Tyler loses his shit on the steering wheel alarm 😂😂😂😂😂
It’s a prime candidate to get drilled it’s the best out of context line from this channel
A few of those installed properly would have been much harder to drill out. Installed with the key holes under the steering wheel, for two bars across the steering wheel. Also, the two that had long arms that he installed above the dash should have been installed under the steering column with arm facing the pedal area would have made it more time consuming and difficult to break or drill out b
Who else was waiting for the airbag to go off?
