When he read out the line "our designers took the opportunity to cement Master Lock's reputation as an industry innovator", I was expecting a lock encased in cement!
As a young and curious kid "about 8 years old" I attempted to replicate what I've seen in movies when they pick locks. My target was a masterlock. I took one of my sisters Bobby pins and just raked it all around the keyway as a complete novice would do. It opened to my surprise. So in a nutshell, even an 8 year old can pick a masterlock.
As a young kid, I got curious about our neighbor's padlock that used those rotating knobs for password. I wasn't trying to rob them or anything, just was bored and started playing with it when no one was around. I was just dialing random numbers for a couple of minutes, when I noticed that some digits felt a bit different when you dial them. I knew absolutely nothing about locks, but just for fun, I set all the knobs to the digits that somehow felt different to me. And the lock opened. I actually got very scared as if I committed a crime, and ran away. I never got in trouble for that, so it's just a fun memory now.
As a kid I had a box for money (what is it called? idk) and it had a really cheap lock on it. I used to open it with the pin of my belt always, because I had lost the key :D
BROOOO after watching you for years i just noticed what a damn genius you are. 1: Make videos showcasing how to open locks, 2: Sell lock picking kits 3: Coustomer gets arrested but already knows a Lawyer... Thats just printing money at this point
LPL: picked a lock LPL: damage the employee morale LPL: Do it again with invisible lock LPL: refuse to elaborate further to not dealing more damage to employee morale LPL: *Fly away*
The fact that LPL had to use a pink piece of tape to not lose the lock definitely proves this is the most advanced of locks from Master Lock, incredible
There was one innovation that slowed LPL down though: the tactic of providing an interesting introductory letter slowed LPL down by 90 seconds. I'm going to up my security game by sticking "Dear LPL" notes on all my locks from now on, I feel safer already... .
@J Boss What are you on about? He clearly explains the lock's flaw in a lot of his vids. There was even a lock company who improved their design based on his suggestions.
@J Boss Except he's not destroying anything here he's dismantling it with finesse and skill. You don't need to be a world class chef to know when food tastes like shit and you don't need to be a lock manufacturer to teach people when they're getting ripped off on security.
can't wait for the sequel where he opens with"this is the lockpickinglawyer and i just received a letter from the president of masterlock issuing me a cease and desist order"
The response is "show cause." It needs to have a reason why the cease and desist is not valid. "I picked your lock in under ten seconds. Show cause that anyone should think this is a security device."
I'm actually surprised a lock was included. I was expecting the joke to be an "invisible lock". The cammo tape was a great visual gag and I'm glad they went that route rather than my lazy gag expectations.
That wasn't camo tape, that was actually painted on the lock and came from the manufacturer that way. I suspect someone saw the camo MasterLock and had a great laugh and wanted to share the ludicrousness with us all.
@@Alskaskan I honestly wasn't paying close attention the first viewing because it was obviously a joke. The way it curves around the edges at a glance looked something like the cheap cammo duct tape I've seen at Walmart, and the bunching of black at the bottom at 1:45 looked like a haphazard taping job. While typing this comment, I looked it up and it is actually a cheap plastic shell that pops off. Amazon has them marked down to $9 from $14. The reviews are not great, referring to the cammo and weatherproofing not holding up well. There aren't any LPL related comments yet but sadly people will probably spam it with those in time.
Opening the lock using the wave rake took him about 2 seconds. Resetting the lock for the second attempt took him 7 seconds. The rest was just the standard finishing sentence "That's all I have for you today..." So, the 3 minute video contained a full 4 seconds of lock picking.
You gotta love how smug the "MasterLock President" was in the letter, only to have the special project with a generous budget get picked in under 3 seconds... Twice. XD
Well, LL was cheating here - the real challenge was finding the lock, which he did off-screen. It's like starting a video on an actual (non-MasterLock) lock with all pins already picked, where all you need to do is turn the lock!
This might be one of Master Lock's greatest creations. LPL had to use real lockpicking tools instead of improvised things made from stuff like ballpoint pens and LEGO pieces.
Based on how the letter was worded I assumed they didn't actually send a lock at all. But he still wanted something to pick for the video (for obvious reasons) so he found a lock that could fit the theme.

That saying has always been flawed to me. Because a truly honest person wouldn’t take something that’s not theirs regardless of whether it was locked or not. What it really comes down to is making it an inconvenience for your average thief. Sure LPL can open just about every bike lock he’s shown on here in seconds, but your average bike thief can’t pick any locks and will instead cut through chains, so getting a lock that is harder to cut is the best way to go.
@@morningxafter You are missing the true intent of the saying. It isn't really about the locks, it is saying that people are only honest until they are given an easy way to be dishonest.
@@yunofun This is so true, I’ve known a number of people that in general are honest, but if you leave something that’s easily stolen, they will take it, that’s why my grandpa always said “the only thing you need to know to protect yourself and your stuff, is never trust anyone,” I know that going through life with the mentality may not be a pleasant thing to do, but unfortunately it’s the only way to save yourself from getting screwed
This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
@@bannah6400 You know, normally I'd take issue with the claim that all the world leaders have been conspiring to hide the history of the world for longer than most of the accurate recorded history of the world, especially during time periods when long distance communication was deeply impractical, but instead I'm going to ask... Why is this response *here*? Is there some aspect of the wry response to situational humor that proves someone doesn't follow your particular interpretation of, uh, I assume Christianity? And if not, why are you telling someone who could easily be a believe in what you consider a valid sect that they need to repent?
It the worst thing they can do. Most people wouldn't know Lockpicking Lawyer (which is good for Master Lock), the curious one would search for him and found this channel and see how bad Master Lock's pick resistance are.
LMFAO. just to get back at him, a lot of people would think: this is a great affiliation! the lockpicking lawyer! that sounds important! the rest of people would know to avoid
I wish I had access to one, but we used extremely heavy duty and NSA certified locks when I was in the military. I'd love to see you attempt picking one of those as when a key was damaged for one of the locks, the contracted locksmith had to use a plasma cutter to cut the lock off the cage.
Normally, DSS and the military do not like keyed locks. The combo locks cost a lot of money, and require a certified locksmith. Well worth it, because on a safe, the digital locks have a timeout preventing a lock spinner from cranking away for 24 hrs or more to crack the combo. I had a 2-drawer Mosler which we donated to a museum.
@@overeducated1786 Our safe had the typical spinning lock, but the cages we stored equipment were key-based. Of course, this was back in 2000. Still though, they were some pretty hefty locks.
When the letter said "Cement", I quite agree that would be the way to prevent or slow down LPL picking. Pour Cement in to the lock or put the lock in to Cement.
From now on, I'll include a horrendously long cease and desist letter with all my locks. As a lawyer, he would be unable to go past without reading thoroughly, giving me enough time to replace his lock picks with tooth picks.
Im so glad you put the tape there. With the luck being invisibile I couldn't see most of the action, but seeing the tape float around is why i believe you when you talk about managing to pick it
Suffering from extreme eyesight challenges, the obscurity factor of this particular episode left me with only the reading of the letter to entertain me. I have to take everyone's word on it that his fiddling around with the usual LPL Weapons of MasterLock Destruction was an attack on an otherwise invisible securing mechanism.
When the letter had the word "cemented", I was expecting a lock with only the shackle exposed, and the lock with cement poured around it. Great video as always
I thought LPL would show the empty table and say: "OK, here's your picked lock, can't you see it? It's because the camouflage coating is the only thing that works well."
I have fewer than 1 friend in the World. That's right. Everybody disses me for making bad videos. I think they are perfect though. Who is right? My dissers or me? Which side are you on, dear do
Master Lock: "but there was no impersonator.. that was our best lock." LPL: "Ok folks, that was a good joke, kind of like every master lock I come across."
He was sent this cause he doesn’t openly explain master locks flaws and roast each and every one of their locks also he’s just free advertising for them with his mostly little kid fan base
McNally somehow just jiggles 6 different locks, knowingly with the wrong pick and gets them open. He makes just about every single lock look like scrap metal, could yall do some kind of collab? That'd be awesome.
Would have been a solid 10/10 joke if they didn’t include a lock whatsoever, then claimed that it was included and he couldn’t find it because it was so well-camouflaged. Can’t pick a lock to embarrass your company if you don’t include one lol
@@poopconsumer1234 I agree with you. On paper, the idea of an empty box might be funnier but as proven by the comment section, that is pretty much what everybody expected (myself included) so the camo-lock is actually a nice subversion of that. The guy who sent it in was clearly one step ahead of us.
Thank you for adding the pink tape, it was the only way I managed to spot where the lock was in the video! Very clever of them to make the lock invisible though
The Master Lock President when he sees this video: "Yes, just a joke from an impersonator...Hahaha! Um, that's right. We would never be foolish enough to believe that would've worked.... hehe.... :("
I was 90% expecting LPL to set the letter aside (with the lock laying on the table underneath it) and then say something like “Well, I’m not sure if they simply forgot to include the lock, but the only thing I found in the package was this letter.”
Then that would mean MasterLock was successful when they said "good luck finding it" which means they beat LPL at the game. It is much funnier how LPL presented it.
Thank you for putting the pink tape on the lock. Without it, I would have not seen the lock at all. Again, thank you so much for placing that tape so us viewers can see what we were looking at
Can't believe all of you fall for this. There's no denying his skill but he has already researched and picked the lock ahead of time. When he's on video it all looks so quick.
@@moondog3056 he's literally picking this lock the same way he's picked hundreds of locks before. what would picking it beforehand do him? decrease his masterlock lockpick speedrun time by 20 milliseconds?
In summation: “This is a joke letter sent by a fan and isn’t actually from Masterlock, but allow me to continue just a bit longer and further humiliate and embarrass them in front of millions of viewers for the millionth time anyway.” 😂
“Our finest engineers” - dead giveaway it’s a viewer’s letter. 👍 I’m waiting for the Masterlock that opens just by inserting the turning lever in .025.
Yet here you are commenting on multiple posts. If you don't enjoy the content then why return? I of course understand that by replying to you I've in fact given you the attention you seek but I just could not help myself. Weakness of will equal to your weakness of thought I suppose.
Jim Browning & LPL would be the most dangerous duo in the world. JB: "That's a nice shirt. I'm outside your house." LPL: "Now let's see if we can't get past this lock."
@@prashil3k594 Jim Browning makes content exposing scammers and such. He pulls a switcheroo on them and tells them he can see them in their call centers, and works with law enforcement to stop such scammers
"He'll break into your house with the flick of his hands -- He'll hack your computers and expose your deepest secrets... together they're an unstoppable duo! You can't run and you can't hide from the Lock Picking Lawyer and Jim Browning Show!"
LOL - That opening sentence alone proves this was a joke... and a bloody good one at that! I would have put "and we have consulted the finest NASA cosmologists" in there somewhere.
At this point, I’m convinced that the LPL could open all the Masterlocks within his vicinity just by putting out a thought signal like Aquaman used to summon fish in those 1970s cartoons.
LPL is highly skilled, but that's not why he gets Master Locks open so easily. They're just that bad. My brother could text me and tell me his 5 year old daughter picked one and I'd believe it.
I love how he jokingly went along that he's blind by saying he had to "have his seeing eye dog find it and then put on hot pink tape so he wouldn't lose it again"
I would've expected "no" lock, as in, the lock is completely invisible. But then LPL saying it isn't an issue and as you can "not" see, the lock has already been opened. Then demonstrates the empty table.
Heck, my front door is invisible. I have come home to many unconscious burglars who have hit their heads on my door thinking they could just waltz right in.

Masterlock actually has supreme-tier engineers working on those locks. They implemented a weather cover to slow down the picker.
Honestly hiding the lock was the smartest design ft. Of this one
Now they nead to put a threading on it and slow a picker even more!
The cover slowed down the time to get into the lock by 80%!!!
Going without a cover and letting the internals rust into an unmovable lump would actually be their most secure lock design yet.
If that thing was stuck, it would have taken longer to open than picking the lock 😂

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
@@bannah6400 You know, normally I'd take issue with the claim that all the world leaders have been conspiring to hide the history of the world for longer than most of the accurate recorded history of the world, especially during time periods when long distance communication was deeply impractical, but instead I'm going to ask... Why is this response *here*? Is there some aspect of the wry response to situational humor that proves someone doesn't follow your particular interpretation of, uh, I assume Christianity? And if not, why are you telling someone who could easily be a believe in what you consider a valid sect that they need to repent?
"Cement Master Lock's reputation"
Really thought this was gonna be a Master Lock with the core replaced with cement, lol.
You and me both XD
@@Vilq88 Same to be honest.
Me three :D
big brain time
Yep, I wanted to see a one use lock that was a cement brick lol
LPL: "we're gonna be using the wave rake"
Me: Ok so this lock is shit then.
I'm not even all that experienced with lockpicking and I said the exact same thing when the wave rake came out lmao
I always laugh when we pulls out the wave rake because you know it will take less than 5 seconds to pick it.
"I won't even have to use half my power to destroy you"
Plot twist: the lock he found was a decoy. The real lock is still camouflaged at the bottom of the envelope
Such a bold move to lock pick thin air and pretend he "found it".
Almost fooled us, but a great sense of humour, LPL.
This video still cracks me up every time
I think, at this point, the best thing Master Lock can do is print "As Featured on the Lockpicking Lawyer" on all their packaging.
It the worst thing they can do. Most people wouldn't know Lockpicking Lawyer (which is good for Master Lock), the curious one would search for him and found this channel and see how bad Master Lock's pick resistance are.
They wouldn't be wrong...
So they can see the videos on youttube and get their shit stolen, great idea Sherlock
I think it's funny you guys are so amazed by this🤣🤣🤣
LMFAO. just to get back at him, a lot of people would think: this is a great affiliation! the lockpicking lawyer! that sounds important! the rest of people would know to avoid
Consider the possibility that if LPL didn’t have a seeing-eye dog, he wouldn’t have been able to find the lock and therefore pick it.
Good thing he is always prepared
Bigbrain wow i just got mind blown
put peanut butter away from the lock as a distraction.
I consider it another piece of equipment "First I'll need to grab my seeing eye dog that Bosnian Bill and I adopted"
Maybe it has already happened before. That's why ge got the seeing-eye dog in the first place.
I wish I had access to one, but we used extremely heavy duty and NSA certified locks when I was in the military. I'd love to see you attempt picking one of those as when a key was damaged for one of the locks, the contracted locksmith had to use a plasma cutter to cut the lock off the cage.
Normally, DSS and the military do not like keyed locks. The combo locks cost a lot of money, and require a certified locksmith. Well worth it, because on a safe, the digital locks have a timeout preventing a lock spinner from cranking away for 24 hrs or more to crack the combo. I had a 2-drawer Mosler which we donated to a museum.
@@overeducated1786 Our safe had the typical spinning lock, but the cages we stored equipment were key-based. Of course, this was back in 2000. Still though, they were some pretty hefty locks.
LPL would ask them to allow him to try it again - just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.
This channel never gets old 😂
I almost died laughing when he attempted to pick the air with a rake
honestly it almost felt like there was a lock there for a second 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know convincing rhight
LMAO
I almost didn’t understand that joke lmao 😂🤦🏽♂️😂
@@McFly_Productions ya it took me a min
The lock is John Cena
When the letter said "Cement", I quite agree that would be the way to prevent or slow down LPL picking.
Pour Cement in to the lock or put the lock in to Cement.
Put LPL in cement for extra safety.
I thought it'd be encased in cement and just the loop be sticking out.
When I saw Cement, I immediately thought of 5 Minute Crafts and their propensity to use cement for ANYTHING.
@@tretretre1111 Literally lol.
@@codyoliver9624, I thought cement would be on the inside.
I want this guy in my heist crew.
Wow LPL really is the greatest picker on earth. He was able to pick a floating pink strap! What a genius.
When you realize he's gonna read the whole letter and only leave half a minute to disarm the lock 😂😂😂
Twice.
TWICE!!
FREAKING TWICE
and then he pulls out the wave rake and basically says "you don't even deserve a proper picking!" Brutal.
it only took about 4 seconds to actually pick the lock (or 3)
From now on, I'll include a horrendously long cease and desist letter with all my locks. As a lawyer, he would be unable to go past without reading thoroughly, giving me enough time to replace his lock picks with tooth picks.
Nothing on one, a slight click out of two, three and four, back to one and we’ve got this open……….
You know, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he has a video of opening a Master lock with toothpicks.
@@KeithHearnPlus would floss picks count?
He'd just use a soda can
He can pick a lock, but what I want to know, can he pick a nose?
Ha Ha Ha I so enjoy you and your subs! Keep up the good work! Thanks for what you do!
Im so glad you put the tape there. With the luck being invisibile I couldn't see most of the action, but seeing the tape float around is why i believe you when you talk about managing to pick it
Taking "security through obscurity" to new levels.
if they wanted it to be on that level, they would have hidden the key way on the back or side. the exposed key way on the bottom would be the decoy
Not as new as you might think, hidden, (both covered and disguised), and fake keyholes are historical things.
Suffering from extreme eyesight challenges, the obscurity factor of this particular episode left me with only the reading of the letter to entertain me. I have to take everyone's word on it that his fiddling around with the usual LPL Weapons of MasterLock Destruction was an attack on an otherwise invisible securing mechanism.
When the letter had the word "cemented", I was expecting a lock with only the shackle exposed, and the lock with cement poured around it.
Great video as always
Same here. Then when they said it was disguised, I expected a lock the exact same color as his table.
Dont give them ideas.
@@coreyh3994 I was hoping for a Vanta black lock.
I expected no lock to have been included.
i was expecting the key way to be cemented so not even the key would work
I'm glad you pointed out the words as you spoke otherwise I don't think I could have kept up
After he pulled out the lock pick I looked at the time remaining in the video and verbally cried "Nooo!"
I thought LPL would show the empty table and say: "OK, here's your picked lock, can't you see it? It's because the camouflage coating is the only thing that works well."
Burn baby burn! Great comment!
I have fewer than 1 friend in the World. That's right. Everybody disses me for making bad videos. I think they are perfect though. Who is right? My dissers or me? Which side are you on, dear do
@@AxxLAfriku your videos are terrible
I thought that it was an invisible lock.
To bad even the camo didn't work well :< It was almost as bad as the lock itself! almost...
I was actually expecting keys with no lock. As the camo was so good it rendered it invisible.
Just a bunch of bubble wrap...with nothing inside.
well I mean this is Master Lock we are talking about. How good can their camouflage be anyway?
I was expecting the joke to be, that there was no lock actually included with the letter xP. So well camouflaged, it was nowhere to be seen, lol.

Master Lock: "but there was no impersonator.. that was our best lock."
LPL: "Ok folks, that was a good joke, kind of like every master lock I come across."
He was sent this cause he doesn’t openly explain master locks flaws and roast each and every one of their locks also he’s just free advertising for them with his mostly little kid fan base
@@NOTTIBOPPINtwitch trolling failed
@@NOTTIBOPPINtwitch ratio
@@NOTTIBOPPINtwitch He actually explains the problem with masterlocks rather often.
Well he's steered me away from master lock
McNally somehow just jiggles 6 different locks, knowingly with the wrong pick and gets them open. He makes just about every single lock look like scrap metal, could yall do some kind of collab? That'd be awesome.
All that in a less than 3 minute video. And more entertaining in under 3 minutes than a 120 minute Disney movie. Great job.
When you fail an exam and LPL turns up and hands you a second one
"let's do it again to prove it wasn't a fluke"
Ouch
Good man
More like a flunk
Sadly, it wasn't a fluke
Then you pass the exam at a 90
Would have been a solid 10/10 joke if they didn’t include a lock whatsoever, then claimed that it was included and he couldn’t find it because it was so well-camouflaged. Can’t pick a lock to embarrass your company if you don’t include one lol
I genuinely expected that to be the case when he started reading the letter
Wait there was a lock?
Pretty sure that was the joke, but LPL had an extra camo lock that he picked for the sake of the video.
super predictable though, i wouldn’t say it’s as funny as sending a camouflaged lock
@@poopconsumer1234 I agree with you. On paper, the idea of an empty box might be funnier but as proven by the comment section, that is pretty much what everybody expected (myself included) so the camo-lock is actually a nice subversion of that. The guy who sent it in was clearly one step ahead of us.
Thank you for adding the pink tape, it was the only way I managed to spot where the lock was in the video! Very clever of them to make the lock invisible though
Can you imagine the lock was just a solid chunk of metal.
The Master Lock President when he sees this video: "Yes, just a joke from an impersonator...Hahaha! Um, that's right. We would never be foolish enough to believe that would've worked.... hehe.... :("
I was 90% expecting LPL to set the letter aside (with the lock laying on the table underneath it) and then say something like “Well, I’m not sure if they simply forgot to include the lock, but the only thing I found in the package was this letter.”
Would have been rolling on the floor for that one.
AND then I would have setting my self up for even more of a mythic April Fools video.
Hahahaa.. same sentiments.
Then that would mean MasterLock was successful when they said "good luck finding it" which means they beat LPL at the game. It is much funnier how LPL presented it.
@@riseabove3082 What if it was already open when he uncovered it....? No further comment given but the above
@@JescoLincke that would be the best
I can't believe you found it so quickly!!
Thank you for putting the pink tape on the lock. Without it, I would have not seen the lock at all. Again, thank you so much for placing that tape so us viewers can see what we were looking at
5 seconds with a wave rake - definitely an authentic Masterlock
Can't believe all of you fall for this. There's no denying his skill but he has already researched and picked the lock ahead of time. When he's on video it all looks so quick.
@@moondog3056 he's literally picking this lock the same way he's picked hundreds of locks before. what would picking it beforehand do him? decrease his masterlock lockpick speedrun time by 20 milliseconds?

In summation: “This is a joke letter sent by a fan and isn’t actually from Masterlock, but allow me to continue just a bit longer and further humiliate and embarrass them in front of millions of viewers for the millionth time anyway.” 😂
I mean, someone put in some good effort on that joke, it was good to showcase it
I don't think the person who sent that lock is embarrassed at all. It's clearly a joke and it was a nice shake up for the 3 minute videos :)
@@shawncola123 I was talking about embarrassing Masterlock, not the sender of the letter.

Theres a technique where you turn it and just jab it with a half diamond(I think it's called) lockpick
I had one the you could literally open with anything that would fit in key hole.
@J Boss Pretty sure the point of the channel is to help consumers actually buy something worth the asking price for the protection it offers.
@J Boss I think it took you longer to write this comment than it took LPL to open the lock. You are operating a negativity defecit buddy.
Yet here you are commenting on multiple posts. If you don't enjoy the content then why return? I of course understand that by replying to you I've in fact given you the attention you seek but I just could not help myself. Weakness of will equal to your weakness of thought I suppose.
The pink tape is a great idea, glad you didn't lose it after!
They really have a sense of humor we have to give that. :)
A missed opportunity for a truly impossible lock for him to pick: one that's entirely covered in mirrored surfaces
Someone already had that idea and he put a mask on to pick it lmao
😎
Doubt that'd even be impossible.
just hold it at an angle, or put your hand over it
@@josumds1896 Not just a mask, but a witch doctor's mask!

I'm glad you put the pink tape on it. The camouflage really got me.
Great to see a company with a respectful sense of humour.
At this point, I’m convinced that the LPL could open all the Masterlocks within his vicinity just by putting out a thought signal like Aquaman used to summon fish in those 1970s cartoons.
LPL doesn't even need to do anything and any lock of the MasterLock brand will just pop open
LPL is highly skilled, but that's not why he gets Master Locks open so easily. They're just that bad. My brother could text me and tell me his 5 year old daughter picked one and I'd believe it.
I love how he jokingly went along that he's blind by saying he had to "have his seeing eye dog find it and then put on hot pink tape so he wouldn't lose it again"
IMO this is the latest addition to the LPL cannon.
Joke? That lock was fuckin invisible.
@@jutton11 The shackle was easy enough to spot so i just assumed the body of the lock was somewhere under it

I like how the camo is a woodland pattern; as though the most common place to secure something is amidst a thicket.
Lol at the thought of door camo
The only thicket a master lock belongs in is a thicket of scorn.
a wasteheap pattern might be more apropriate.
@@ulrichkalber9039 yes! Scrapyard camo.
Looked like a British woodland camo pattern.
When the note said "cement masterlock's reputation" I thought it would be a lock with a keyway filled with cement
This is a good advertisement for their competitors.
I would've expected "no" lock, as in, the lock is completely invisible.
But then LPL saying it isn't an issue and as you can "not" see, the lock has already been opened. Then demonstrates the empty table.
Heck, my front door is invisible. I have come home to many unconscious burglars who have hit their heads on my door thinking they could just waltz right in.
