Has any 1 had a attempt on this? Does this really stand up to, say, 36" bolt cutters? The low cost makes me worry a thief will get right by it.

The shrouded/protected shackle with limited access and the beefy diameter of 7/16" make this a tough one to cut.

I have not tried or seen if they hold up to bolt cutters, but I can tell you they can jam up; I'm not sure if it was due to the rainy conditions or not but the lock mechanism tumblers either rusted or someone had damaged them previously trying to get it open without the key...I eventlually got it open but it would not lock again.

It comes with a bolt (that bolts the rack to your trailer hitch), so unless the person trying to steal it has two large wrenches you should be fine. I guess a better answer is, it does not come with a lock anywhere on the hitch.

Hi, sorry to be so slow, I was out of town. The bolt is 1'' long and goes into a metal box that comes with it. The metal box is bolted to the stud in the wall and makes for a real strong lock.

I wish that I had a bigger lock to try for you but all I can do is eyeball it. I have the lock that they suggested. The hole that you have to place it in is large enough...but I am afraid the larger shank might make it awkward to use. Also note on the suggested lock that the shank is a bit longer in proportion to the lock on a standard lock and I believe that is part of it. Think I would buy their lock.

I've not tried to pick the lock, but it looks fairly sturdy. I think if someone wanted to brute force the thing open THAT badly, they probably could, but they'd destroy the thing in the process.

Anything is removable with bolt cutters! As for a slightly more helpful answer, there's a screw on the bottom that looks like it probably allows the stand to be removed, but I haven't tried unscrewing it

I would try contacting the company. However, I just looked at mine, and it's just a heavy hollow metal bar, 23" long, and 3/4" wide. It feels like a curtain rod, only heavier. It does have a little prong on each side, but this is not really necessary as it drops quite a ways down into the slot. Personally, I would just duct tape it on if it seemed to come loose. I'd almost bet you could find something that would be that size at Home Depot, or a hardware store, and they maybe could cut it down if necessary. It doesn't have to be hollow either, although the original is. Hope this helps.

The cable is a PVC coated wire cable and would not be immune to bolt cutters. If someone were that serious they would cut it.

Thank for reply , actually I bought that ladder Hook and I did my job with and it was right on. Happy with it. I bought from amazon. It said asked by Terry Kennedy, but I'm not Terry Kennedy! May be Terry didn't received your answer.

I have used it and a dremel tool to shorten /cut small diameter bolts. It closes very precisely. 3/8" rod should be no sweat

Any hardware store should care a similar plastic piece that has a nail in it...it is kind of like an oversize tack. You should be able to get a whole pack for a pretty cheap. Hope that helps. :) Or call the company and see if they can send you one.

Try a "bolt & screw" store that specializes in fasteners. They can measure the thread size, length, and the type of tool it takes, and they might be able to special order it.

Haven't measured it, sorry. You're unlikely to break it unless using it as a pry bar on something you shouldn't. Even so, this thing is heavy duty enough.

1/16th + - it's braided steel cable - I think regular side cutters would cut it if they tried for a while, but the point is that the alarm would go off. I always place it so that it can easily be seen and it has a blinking red diode - a potential thief would go for one without the hassle . . . at least that's my presumption

I have had this vise for so long that I do not remember. I currently have nothing in writing. I do know that the bolt tops are showing in the counterbored holes in the top of my workbench. I don't like that, but, I have nothing to cover the holes and it seems to be a small price to pay for this great vise. I suppose that I would have the same problem installing any woodworking vise.I have checked the Wilton website for you. They offer nothing in the way of instructions. I believe that they think that installation is intuitive.

No but I think you could use a bolt cutter. It would be more appropriate for something like that. these are handy to use for everything else when you need though.

Kat:I have the golden oldie unisaw with a 52" unifence.The mobile base was nice to have when I was building my shop and had to move the saw around and out of the way.My feet from the table are close to the front edge of the fence holding portion of the base. To not worry about it falling off, I cut a piece of luan and put it under the feet. No worries of it ever falling off.Jay
