(556) Cool ‘ABUS keyway’ 72/40 Pick and Gut

I love keyways that spell something: Abus, Cisa...EVVA (maybe!) do you know of any more? Let me know :-)

Remember: only pick locks that are yours and that are not in use! Keep locksport legal!

I have one in gold. Long shackle also. I asked for challenging bitting and boy did I get it!
Abus spelled and highs and lows. Beautiful lock.
Great picking! Tiny little pins.

Always interesting to see locks taken apart. So I'm not the only one to save old wipers!! Bob

That's a great description, lifting rather than levering.
I got hung up, for months, on Master that had extreme bitting. I SPP all pins with a regular hook, except for pin 4. Pin 5 had to go up just a hair, pin 4 all the way with a deep hook, pin 3 couldn't be touched !
You're very informative. Thanks, man !

Love that music with the gutting very professional sounding not to mention that was a cool pic

Great lock and a great job on picking and gutting

[madhatters]

Very informative. Haven't tried the one you were showing but master locks and the bull keys training locks I can do with my eyes most of the time. I'm using a GOSO set right now.

Nice 888 abus 72/40. I've seen them on eBay pretty cheap too. Ive got a few with standard yale style keyway. Brady loto locks come standard with the 888 keyway.

Some great locks and a great pick for you!

Very interesting!! Do you have a video of you picking the other 72/40? I have that kind with the silver disc above and can't get any where with it. I'd like to live vicariously through you picking it 😃

Nicely explained. a great looking padlock
thanks for the video

[crowley]

I've liked the ideia of using a "drum-like" base to amplify the sound of the pins...

[chriscapune]

They are great locks!!!
Like them a lot!!!
👍👍👍

Nicely done...that keyway always gives me trouble.

[Chlorate]

Ha! All that extra warding and you can pick it with a 0.6mm Sparrows Lunatic.

Sounded like that lock was doing a lot of talking to you. Nice loud clicks. Might have been a bit more difficult a pick if those spools had been thinner.
I know what you mean about sometimes having to keep recording over and over again yet off camera you get a good pick. Happened to me just last night after two 15 minute failed picks. I switched off the camera and picked it in less than 5 minutes. Still trying to get that good pick on camera.
Think I am going to Google that lock of yours and try to get one 👍🏻

Nicely picked👍 I have a ton of these r888 keyway Abus locks. It is harder to use the key, but a very fun pick

[themadhatter]

Hi lock Noob I use the same locks at work believe what you have is Loto padlock (lock out tag out) I use the same padlocks when I lock off a switch to a motor or a electrical panel and with the different colours identifying different trades ie red electrical green plumber
