Historical context: This video records the advice, products and attack methods relevant when it was published. Current recommendations may have changed as vehicles, products and criminal methods evolved.
It's a lighthearted strength demonstration of Sussex Installations' internal side load door shield for the Ford Custom, showing just how solid and heavy-duty the shield material is by using it to "knock out" a mannequin head nicknamed Robin T. Leaf, tea leaf being Cockney rhyming slang for thief.
No. Jeff Scott is explicit in the video that the demonstration is just to illustrate how tough the shield material is, not a suggestion to use a shield to hurt anyone. The shields are meant to be bolted inside the van to protect the latch, not used outside it.
It's fitted inside the side load door of a Ford Custom, bolted over the factory latch mechanism to reinforce it against drilling and forced-entry attacks, the same internal stealth shield referenced across Sussex Installations' other Ford Custom repair videos.
Yes. Jeff Scott has referred back to this attack test in later videos when describing the internal shield as "an absolute weapon," pointing to this demonstration as evidence of how solid the shield is.
