Is the Universal Automotive Lockout Tool Kit still effective in 2020?

I address the thoughts and issues of the Universal Automotive Lockout Tool Kit in the year 2020.

And I address a few other issues and speak bluntly about them.

As you implied, this kit was designed for 1980s to mid 2000s vehicles, however many of the tools will work on later models.For instance, the slim jims can be used on cars that have exposed vertical linkages(Such as the 2008-2011 Ford Escape and Focus)provided that you place a slight bend in them so that they can reach behind the window and grab the rod, the plastic strip tool can work on all vehicles that have pop-up buttons(As long as enough of the button protrudes from the top of the door panel when locked), and the under the window tool(The one with the triangle shaped tip)can be very effective on newer cars which have cable linkages(Although you should always consult a car opening manual to be sure it is a valid opening method for the make, model, and year of the car your working on(As it can become stuck in the door, or break the window if used incorrectly). P.S. I would recommend that you remove the ring securing the ends of the strip tool, join the two ends together, make a sharp crease in the loop on the other end, and instead of gluing a piece of sandpaper, place 2 1/2”x1” strips of duct tape on both sides of the inside creased end for grip(I’ve found that over time and through repeated use, the glue loses it’s adhesive quality, and the piece of sandpaper comes off, whereas the duct tape strips will stay on forever).As for the air wedge, there’s no need to lube it with Windex.If your having trouble sliding it in, use one of the wedges to gently pry the door frame out to aid in insertion.Also, slice off half of the triangle tip of the under the window tool with a Dremel(Using a cut off wheel)so that only an inward L shape remains, and then place an appropriately sized vinyl screw cover(You can find these at your local hardware store)over it.This will not only prevent you from scratching the interior, but greatly improve it’s gripping abilities.

I owned this set and lost it somewhere. Wish I still had it. The hook bar was great

I have used tool kits like this, without the airwedge. I have used them to open Semi trucks for truck drivers who have locked themselves out. The tools I have used were all on semis that were 2015 and older.

You talk too slowly, yawn inducing. I run your videos at 1.5x speed. Apart from that I am enjoying your content. New Sub here

No one should buy these tools, they are old technology. Using such may cause an airbag catastrophe. Buy simple non destructive modern tools proven to work safely and efficiently.
