[626] A Pick Proof Master Lock? ALMOST!

Master Lock isn't absolute trash because it makes bad locks. It's trash because it's fully capable of making amazing locks but doesn't.

Explains for ten minutes the impressive complexity of a lock Proceeds to pick lock in 30 seconds

The "Master Lock Re-Keying Tool" looks suspiciously like a paperclip.

When he said “out in the wild” I just imagined a herd of padlocks in a field

"Hard to do if found in the wild" A wild masterlock appeared

Wow, Master made something that you can't just shake to open! Wow!

I was a toolmaker for 25 years and never knew there was a "c-clip remover" tool. But we used to call them "Jesus clips" because when you popped them off with a small screwdriver, you'd always say "Jesus, where'd that go?"

I have been watching so many of these and a few things have just dawned on me: 1. I have no fucking idea what he is talking about. 2. His calming voice has lead me to believe that words like 'binding' are terms that i understand. In reality i have no idea what that means. 3. I have no idea why i cant stop watching them despite having no clue what it all means. 4. For some reason i really enjoy hearing him talk on and on about things i will probably never understand.

I actually really enjoyed the "lock nerd" lock history lesson. Really interesting

I have watched this guy over the last year for no reason. Dude is a damn wizard!

I was watching “worlds toughest prisons” in the U.K. and a prison in Mexico was using individual master padlocks on the cell doors and I thought to myself “I bet the lock picking lawyer would be outta there in seconds!”

Please design your lock! Show us what you think would be the hardest to pick, don't worry about manufacturing, just design it. One of us will make it.

When I saw the title, I had to look at the calendar. Nope, it's not April first yet.

Unpickable... picked in less then a minute. Damn lawyers :D

"We're gonna ignore the normal master lock vulnerabilities, things like shimmying and rapping. Rest assured those are still present with this lock" Oh thank god. I was worried the universe was broken for a second. Don't scare me like that.

I used to repossess cars in the early 1980's, and the owner of the small firm I worked for used to say that those side bar GM ignition locks were un-pickable... for the reasons you state here. I know I never did. I would use all sorts of techniques, whatever was appropriate, for different vehicles and gates and so on: Picking, cutting keys (when the code was still find-able... as you know many cars would have it on a label in the glove box, or stamped on the passenger door cylinder), slide hammer as puller, and the hardened "socket" with breaker bar (would simply shear all the pins and turn the cylinder. "CRUNCH"). But the GM locks, we didn't even try picking. Since then, because of that, I often wondered why side bar mechanisms like that were not used in padlocks and so on. But there you go! Now I know they do in some. Love your videos... very interesting and informative. And you keep the lock companies on their toes, I'm sure... and only help improve the state of the art by revealing the weaknesses.

I had no idea this shit is so fascinating, high browsing youtube and 3 hrs later im at lockpicking central😂

"I'm going full lock nerd so I'm probably losing some of you" Why do you think we watch your videos LPL? The lock nerd bit is what has drawn me in for sure, it's so cool hearing you talk about different locks and designs and the history behind them!

9 minutes explaining in excellent detail just how this lock prevents picking, then smashes it open in less than a minute. Phenomenal skills mate.

I love how he says "out in the wild" rather than something like "in real use". 3:13
