[626] A Pick Proof Master Lock? ALMOST!

The Master Lock No. 18 Picked and Gutted.

*Explains for ten minutes the impressive complexity of a lock*

*Proceeds to pick lock in 30 seconds*

[Hebdomad]

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.

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.

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

[randymc]

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?"

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

[lwilton]

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

[prestonirvin]

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.

[ghostderazgriz]

"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.

[Joshua]

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

[choguy]

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

[mavos]

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!”

[cammyers]

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

[proto]

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.

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

[SireSquish]

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

[RPRosen-kifk]

You just blew my mind. I had no idea that Master lock had anything this interesting. And then ... I experience that moment, when you accidentally walk into a meeting of Lock Nerds Anonymous, and then you realize you ... belong there.

[thenorsestarforge]

"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!

[oracla]

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

[robmaule]

Have almost no idea what he is talking about as he intricately takes apart then proceeds to pick a complex lock... virtually all of the vocab goes completely over my head! It's beautiful.
