Using An Exhaust Manifold Spreader to Defeat Locks

I recently posted a link to a video showing how easy it is to cut through bicycle cable locks using a ratcheting cable cutter.  Today I would like to highlight two more YouTube videos from Lock Picking Lawyer that demonstrate how to quickly and quietly defeat locks using an Exhaust Manifold Spreader (Screw Spreader).

The technique of using an exhaust manifold spreader to destroy locks and gain access to whatever they are protecting works well, and is something I have demonstrated in my own lock classes. If you need to break into something, consider this option... and if you need to protect something, remember how quickly and quietly this technique can be used to break your lock.
