    Right. Movie magic.


    The two locks are broken starting at 4:45.

    Metals still need to be smacked pretty good to break them when they are frozen in liquid nitrogen.

    However, it is a simple fact. Locks can be broken with liquid nitrogen and a hammer. All locks. Even those pins and bushings you cooled to shrink them slightly would have cracked if you hit them powerfully.

    You can harden metal with liquid nitrogen also.
    Race car drivers do this to brake rotors and clutches.

    Looks like cheap Chinese locks to me. Not to mention the amount of time and effort required would only be worth it if you knew exactly what you were stealing and didn't just go for the weakest securement available. This would be espionage, high dollar corporate sabotage.

    I carry a ‘fence tool’ i bought at TSC tractor supply co..

    It’ll cut or twist any wire. I was at a place in the “burgh” a month ago. They got a bail wire wrapped around forklift wheel. They couldn’t get it off.

    I retrieved my “fence tool” and snip snipsnipped it off.
