Supersize me: The supposedly unbreakable giant padlock

Unbreakable and fully theft-proof: this is what US manufacturer Altor promises for its latest product, a U-lock that resists all attacks. Weighing over six kilograms, the U-lock not only sets a completely new benchmark in terms of security, but also weight. The device is so massive that it probably looks a little unintentionally funny.

At 6.15 kilograms, this lock is heavier than a lightweight road bike. And the Saf Lock from Altor Locks promises to withstand all attacks. The makers of Altor Locks have put the motto "a lot helps a lot" into practice and used a lot of material on the shackle to create a product that should still not be cracked even after half an hour of grinding with cordless cutting discs. According to Altor Locks, competitor products usually give up the ghost within 45 seconds. The uncrackable lock has such generous and unusual dimensions that it probably looks rather unintentionally funny.

Altor Locks also believes that thieves are in the wrong place when it comes to the lock mechanism, and the manufacturer is transparent about its intended use: Due to its radically high weight of over 6 kilos, the Saf Lock is definitely not a portable lock. It is perfect for locking your bike securely outside your office or home.

If you are now shouting "must have", you can join the crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. This way, the Saf Lock currently costs 177 euros each and should be available around March 2020.
