Very well presented!!
Will help beginners to progress a lot faster because you have identified the states of the pins in a very understandable manor.
Great video!!!

[datdeerdude]

thank you so much! I’ve been watching beginner videos for hours but you’re the first to explain what I’m supposed to be feeling for and listening for. I’m still struggling to open a clear practice padlock, but now i at least know where i am in the lock! Thank you!

The best guide on the very basics of single pin picking in my opinion

[HammockerSam]

This is the most helpful video about the pin-states, and lockpicking in general, that I've seen. Thank you, you've made things much clearer

[WilliamMancel]

Great video. The cut away lock is much easier to view pin states in than the acrylic ones which get light glare when filming.

[JoeysGarage]

Thanks for another awesome tutorial. I love the concept of you teaching and explaining, instead of just a video of a successful pick

[ianmoone]

The single most helpful video I've seen yet in terms of description and visual detail. Thank you.

[hiker]

This is the best and most-clear explanation I've seen and helps immensely- Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It really helps to be able to see what's going on inside the lock.

[randomutubr]

This is probably the clearest explanation I've seen yet on the basics of how to pick a lock

[davytyler]

Thank you for teaching/demonstrating this! I needed a "feel breakdown" badly.

[xxXthekevXxx]

I’m a beginner and this is one of the best-presented videos I’ve stumbled across!

[RedVsWhite]

Thanks for this video!
I started picking 3 days ago and already been doing it for hours.
This video made me pick a lock which I didn't before, and understanding the 'feeling' of the feedback like you explained really helps so much!

[williamaguilar]

I would like to personally thank you. I was trying to pick my lock to my bathroom, which I don’t remember locking, and after 6 tries I kept getting it to only go a qtr of the way. Once I got all the pins down and kept track of them, I realized that I was indeed picking the lock but simply turning it the wrong way! I only knew that because I knew what each pin was and how it felt to have them set!

[crusty]

I have to say this is probably the most concise and informative beginner video on youtube. Excellent advice, simple and straight forward. Well done!

[heyb]

helpful. Have a cutaway from sparrow but I’m still waiting on my first set of picks so I’m really glad I saw this before I begin thank you HLP!

[stewsmith]

This is super great detail and exactly what I have been needing to see as I embark on this new hobby. Thanks so much

[isabellam]

Thank you so so so much for the visual. It extremely difficult for me to learn and I think a lot of people when almost all of the videos tell you what to do without seeing what to do visually so you can apply that in your mind. I love how you teach us the details. People like lock picking lawyer say do this and this and this but when you go to do it you run into all these problems. It might be nice for views and content and get people interested in locksport but they’re horrible for teaching. His videos are like TikTok in preschool and yours are like going to collage.

[AdamsWorlds]

Just want to say thanks for this video i was walking a friend through it but you do a much better job here than i could have with a clear lock.

[GlorificusInferi]

this is the first video i've found that explains the difference between springy, binding and set pins. good job!
