Tears of joy my friends! Thank God the patent is in process...Thanks for the positive feedback Bill. Gents, I'll get some to you asap. You know who you are. Oldfast911, we agree. Every lock does have a hybrid serrated along with the spools but we can definitely play with the dimensions. And you're right--I'm watching and reading every bit of advice y'all have to offer. Thanks for your validation Bill. Stay tuned...

The advice here from locksport enthusiasts to manufacturers to increase tension and deaden feedback is great. I think that last challenge lock you picked for us (the one that exploded and failed) was an attempt at that sort of design. Thanks again for the videos.

Great informative video again Bill, and very good of CLC to send you the padlocks.

[NSSTrigz]

Cheers bill, this vid gave me a lot more info to work with. I've just picked it and placed a vid up. The tension Is so light I could hardly believe it. It was nice of Jim to pass it down to me from you :-)

[AlexBlate]

I'm all about the tension! Bring it on, baby!

Nice vid, Bill.

Outstanding review Bill, always a pleasure.

They are supposed to be the same keyway as a masterlock. The main concern was having a common enough keyway that people could easily get spare keys cut. There was quite a bit of discussion on the forums with other suitable ones that would provide more of a challenge and be common enough people could still go down to "Ye Olde Hardware" and get a spare key :D

I enjoyed picking the Commando that was in the pass around. I would love to get my hands on one of those. Good picking.

[bosnianbill]

No problem. I did a video called "How to detect and beat spool pins (for beginners)". I would put a link but YouTube won't allow them in the comments section.

The video will explain the false set, what it is, and how to overcome it.

I think it would also take a toll on the picker..can be quite tough trying to keep consistent heavy balanced pressure on the core.. and if you were trying to do it under pressure (even without a banana lol) as you would be if you were trying to break into somewhere.. it would be even harder..

[XMSTARSHIP]

good for CLC for trying to fix the weakness insted of hiding it behinde a good name like Master

[sivartniknar]

sweet lock, i have never had a run at one, but would love to, great vid buddy, wish i could test locks fore week spots .

Actually says, "For your picking pleasure" Mr. Bill Nye the PickLock Guy (;

[AdrianWeber]

Nice improvement I haven't thought about that yet. I am still working on my review with recommendations here. Making progress though.

[Riyame]

Awesome. Good to hear that they reintroduced that feature. Do they still have the M1 keyway? I would love to get a few of the new ones to spread around but I still have quite a few of the original ones left from my last order to pass out.

They will be quite horrible when the other keyways, security keypins and other features are introduced. 0_0 Maybe then people would recommend them as a training lock for the high security Euro locks like Trioving, ASSA etc ;)

[Jayskater]

Maybe it would also be harder if they put a shield such as what some cars have on their outward facing locks.

Hi Bill
I'm enjoying your videos.Your comentary while picking is very informative.
Could you explain what a false set is and how you deal with them.

[mr.a.]

Hey Bill! Could you not overset everything with a comb or pick, then try to reverse pick it with the springs to the shearline? The lock would provide the tension, a pry bar to push against the 'detent?', maybe a hook in the keyway to catch mistakes. I'm a 2 month noob, so no chops with the locks, or picks, but I'm a pretty solid tinkerer. Love the videos, Thanks Bill!

[hardbodybyrick]

Hi Bill,
I'm looking at a Commando Peacemaker 44CZ on amazon. Do you know if this is
the design with the high tension cylinder?
Thank,
Rick

How many lock pickers are there in the real world trying to steal bicycles? Especially during the day?
