      he knew he wasnt really going to be able to do any lock picking with his knife so he needed something to stretch the video out to try to convince the algorithm to show his videos to more people. thats dedication to the algorithm

    This is the best explanation of how a lock works that I have ever seen. Sure, I never cared to search for one before, but the point still stands.

    Despite having watched many lockpicking videos, yours was the first that actually explained why the pins bind as they do. I also really liked your wooden demonstration version, and how you were able to visually demonstrate it without having to look through a tiny camera or lots of clear plastic.

      Everyone should check out the “Lock Picking Lawyer”, he is the master. he can typically pick any lock and I really mean any lock under 2 minute and then take out all the pins and springs, to show the audience. His videos rarely takes more than 5 minutes. He also never shows his face , only his hands.

    If your SAK has the pliers & a file, you can use bobby pins like girls put in their hair to make all kinds of funky little picks & tensioners.
    And you don't even really need those.
    You can snap the bobby pin in half, use the lock itself for any bends that need to be made and grind any sharp corners down on the pavement

  • @garywood702
    @garywood702 Před rokem

    In my youth I used to pick locks just for fun to understand how they worked. NEVER to enter into a place or access something I had no right to enter or access something that wasn't mine. Back then I used to use flat hair pins with two legs, one flat and one wavy (bobby pins?) as tensioning and raking tools. Given how clever you are I'm guessing you could easily turn a pair of those hairpins into a pick set that you could stow somewhere in your SAK. ;-) That would save wear and tear on your toothpick and your tweezers and keep them in good working order for their intended purposes? It is a good skill to know and could come in handy in an emergency. I did put those skills to good use a few months back when entry needed to be made into a home in an emergency, but we did not want to damage the homeowners property. I was able to pick a door lock and make entry to take care of what needed attention as the homeowner was thousands of miles away in hospital. It was the first and probably the last time that skill came in handy for a legitimate purpose in my case, but there you have it.
