[1295] Unbreakable, Unpickable, & Bulletproof? (TED Tooling’s Unusual Lock)

[hoilst]

"In my attempt to avoid the work, I came up with a less elegant solution." Words of wisdom.

[ghostderazgriz]

"And I'll just grab these pliers with another set of pliers"

Quality assurance team: This was a power we'd never seen before...

[alexs]

"This is the Lock Picking Lawyer, and today we're at Fort Knox, an utterly impenetrable vault... Unless you have a q-tip and a lemon wedge."

[michaeln.]

This is the most quintessential "Security by Obscurity" lock I have ever seen.

At this point, we can just send LPL a solid block of aluminum and expect him to somehow pick it in under a minute.

[vest]

In their defense, they don't say "un-plier-able."

[ldesconocido]

"It would take an act of extraordinary violence to break."

So put it on Mrs. LPL's ice cream and let her do her thing.

[Hwangchung]

Gotta respect the balls it takes for a company to send their locks to LPL. I imagine most lock company's PR departments sweating buckets when the see their name in the title/thumbnail.

[samueldevore]

They received an "I probably wouldn't get in". AKA the highest praise giveable by such a gifted tradesman. Wow. I'm still in shock at this compliment from him.

[DerdOnner]

Yeah, they weren’t lying, when they said: unpickable lock. Because this is just a fancy screw

[dickdastardly]

"It's unpickable"
"I'm going to use these pliers."

Oh, no.

[BrooklynRedneck]

Dude that sandpaper trick is really smart. As a mechanic I’ve never thought about that. I’m definitely stealing that trick next time I’m picking something up covered in oil with needle nose

[KazeMemaryu]

"This is the GlockFlickingLawyer, and this lock claims to be bulletproof."

[adg_games]

I love the phrase "It would take an act of extraordinary violence to break" something about it just makes me smile

[lv.mastermind]

"Today at the range, we're going to be using this extraordinary violence Bosnian Bill and I made to open this lock"

[georgeslehner]

To make it impossible to use pliers, simply modify the design (c'bore vs c'sink) so the bolt head come flush with the top. Also Cade Ridley came with a great idea (fake key hole)

[blarghchan]

"Unpickable!"
*isn't actually a lock, but a shrouded security bolt*

Technically correct. The best kind of correct.

[marquesread]

"I'm just gonna do this with a regular old magnet" pulls out fckin neodymium lightsaber

[caderidley]

It would be funny if something like this had an external keyhole that did literally nothing just to keep someone occupied

[MrBNCLE]

Company: "This lock is unpickable"

Me: "No shit, Sherlock. It's a screw."
