I left my keys when I went to a club and so me and a friend had to rip it off with our bear hands and it only took around 3 mins.
would be about 20 secs now I know how.
i wrote to diskloc complaining many times but no reply

So hixton, in the independent magazine tests, why does it take the "specialists" usually some 20 mins or so to get it off?

Do you have some additional skills that you care to mention?

I posted that link as a good point to enquire if they would be interested in a group buy

Hixton
You posted a severe anti-police rant on previous thread and now claim to be able to remove disklock's in record time. Makes ordinary folk wonder?!

The Disklok has a couple of setting, so if you fit it incorrectly (by not putting it on tightly enough) then it will be easy to remove.

Fitted correctly, I don't see an easy way of getting it off.

Got it all wrong. Realise Hixton's not David Banner:
"bear hands" - that's the answer

Alternative view
If left keys at home how did Scoob get to be outside "club"
or why would disklock key be seperate from ignition key

Anyway - who would risk severe damage to Scoob rather than leave outside club, cab home and return sober with key in morning?

or is that all too sensible/ too harsh!

PMSL It was with much debate in the office that he was of Jewish origin.........obviously not

I bow to your superior geekiness

Incidentally, Diskloks have three different sizes of lock, small, medium and large. They dont have varying settings, each one has only one lock position. I have heard of peeps putting a medium size one on a scoob only to find that you can pull it off over the wheel

The small is the correct size for a Scoob

Gilly
I sat and thought about this (blimey - I must be bored)
can completely see the high-security sense in this
but I suspect most mortals struggle to keep track of one large set of keys with their life (i.e. House and Scoob) on it.

The risk of seperating would be too stressful

Off to make calming cup of tea /roll on the weekend!

I have a bunch of around 20, yes 20 keys, car, house, factory, shed ,remotes ETC so having separate key rings would indeed be a complete nightmare, just the thought of arriving at work and not having the keys to unlock the factory is enough, blokes moaning on at me all day ETC. STRESS, STRESS and more stress.

As for ripping a Disclok off in under 3 min's , do you have a pet silverback gorilla maybe????

He failed to mention that he has a snap-off steering wheel too and that wasn't on the car at the time. He'd left the steering wheel in the club.
