A friend bought a new truck which came equipped with an unnecessary snowboard rack but it didn't come with the key for same. So I brought over my Covert Companion and got ready to unlock between four and six locks on it. The friend wanted to watch but honestly, I'd consider myself a newb at this and have only watched the videos. Within five minutes I had picked all four of the necessary locks using a raking technique. Thanks.
I got my companion last week and i have to say it was quite satisfying, that i could open several locks in my household without prior experience. But it also put quite a dent into my general trust in lock security. Still, an incredible useful tool
And that my friend is why you install motion sensor cameras no bigger than a silver dollar that will send you a text alert immediately there's no such thing as too much security a guy broke into a TV news reporter house on Sunday night while she was out with dinner and Friends when she got back home she was tired and she locked her door now here's the problem she didn't pay attention her two little dogs would know where to be found and she shook it off as you know whatever Lucy went to sleep somebody was in the bed but it was too late for her to react all she knows is a big black guy was in her bed covering her mouth unzipping his pants because she knew what was going to happen next her being a white woman he been a black man she's going to get f***** she tried to resist but all that did was gotten her beaten severely the guy with ballistic because you put up a fight didn't want to give it up she should have known that he was the aggressor and he was determined to have none consensual sex with her one way or the other it's sad it's very sad he beat her to death had she not resisted I honestly believe that she he would have let her live but he was like a conquering army he wanted his spoils of War he had already done that to a previous woman and he let her live. The moral of the story is don't think that your home is your Castle second of all put a f****** alarm in your apartment or whatever that's the moral of that story that house that she rented it's been torn down now and made it into a memorial Park because there was no way the landlord could rent it out to somebody else because most people are not f***** up about moving to a house and which somebody violently died they need somewhere to stay and they are living there in a minute. I saw a couple moving to a house that was full of cockroaches all over the damn place I went by one day to look at it and saw the roaches crawling around and then when I walked through there again at night time somebody done moved in. So you see my friend most people don't give a f*** her organs were donated I'm pretty sure they kept private how these organs became available in a very violent fashion
Thanks To My Partner Same Here Haha, I'm Also Here To See If It Was Worth Buying As Im Getting It As A Gift For Him This Christmas, To Late Now Also Its Already On The Way But It Sure Does Look Like An Amazing Lock Picking Product {8th Of November 2023} 0:20
seems like an amazing bang for your buck pocket kit. but i have one gripe, the ability to lock the tool(s) in use would be great especially for hooks/combs/decoder
I myself am entirely frustrated. I have a master lock #3 in front of me and can’t open it using any of the tools in this kit. It’s supposed to be one of the easiest locks to pick.
The ordering of the tools is different from LPL's assembly video, and that triggers my OCD a little but it's also reassuring to see that the ordering doesn't really matter. I might play around with the ordering because currently my companion jiggles a bit. It would be nice at the beginning, while you're introducing the tools 1.2.3.4.5, to also have a number edited onto the video showing the corresponding tool.
I don't know that it matters so much for the covert companion based on the typical use case for it but these and the Genesis picks with handles seem to bend and stay bent easily compared to the same thickness sparrows and peterson picks. I'm not sure if the steel isn't as good or if maybe the shaping is tempering it. Laser, EDM and even machining can sometimes heat parts enough to ruin hardening done ahead of time; but, I don't know if that's the issue here. I've had some luck heat treating the Genesis set with the handles using a small butane torch (enough to extend the usaility quite a bit) but it's tricky controlling the temperature of something so small. Even when I manage a nice consistent straw color they still seems to bend and stay bent when other picks don't. It could be more about springiness than hardness which would be more about the type of steel, I think. I should mention that this is my subjective, inexpert assessment. If I had a strain guage or whatever and was flush enough to not sweat sacrificing a few new picks I'd try to quantify the difference. I'd say for the Genesis set with the handles, it's a bit of a problem as the new picker, especially, is going to abuse them pretty badly and sparrows picks would probably stand up to that a lot better for a similar price.
I finally bought one, Ive been watching LPL for years and have been so intrigued with picking lock. I got it all set up and pin picked a rifle cable lock today as my first lock picked, i picked a few times and now i am already down what seems like an addictive habit of trying to pick eveything in my house. My wife’s journal has no secrets now!! I still know nothing at all about picking locks compared to LPL or others on youtube, but i highly recommend buying either this set or another one from covert. I never knew how awesome it was to pick a lock.
hey if you get one of these make sure to check if all the parts are straightened out beforehand. several picks, combs, and jigglers arrived bent and when i went to assemble it the covert companion wouldn't close everything would tangle up and i had to disassemble it to manually straighten everything out.
In my opinion, if you get the picks in 21 thousands of an inch thickness (instead of the standard 25) it will fit European keyways an even pick Yale style locks if the bidding isn't to difficult. I have yet to purchase it as it is not in stock, but you can definitely use it for raking, SPP and bypass on a lot of locks
It would be nice if you had a video on how to assemble. It doesn't seem hard, but I'd rather not have to reassemble multiple times is it turns out there are quirks or best practices that are not immediately obvious.
My covert companion just arrived, I do like the small form factor, but maybe starting out the hobby I would have been best to go for a full size set, using the picks can be difficult as naturally they want to fold over on your fingers so the companion it’s self dose not act like a handle you can push up on, locking mechanism would be great.
Almost every lock I have to pick is behind a box meant to make cutting the lock difficult without also cutting through the steel protecting the lock. This means I have to kneel down and look up at the lock and work with my hands in a tight approximately 5” x 7” area so there isn’t much freedom to work. I don’t know if I’ll be able to single pin pick with this tool in those specific scenarios but I would bet one of the wave rakes or comb picks or the knife tool would open most of the locks I encounter.
I suggest the Riv-Pick in that case. Longer, better feedback and it just has two hooks and two rakes. The knife tool can usually be subbed for a shallow hook anyway.
Hey LPL, i have the covert companion and i absolutely love it! Been able to use most of the different types of picks to open some locks. There is one im having trouble with. I have a new Master lock 175 and i absolutely cannot get the shim or decoder past any of the dials. Tried turning each one to find a bigger gap, tried pushing the dials over to make space, nothing has worked. The dials are all super tight against the lock body. Any tips?
Wafer locks are complete trash... I've had to open the wafer locked cash register at my work multiple times when someone has lost the key. simply inserting a similar pad lock key with low bidding and jiggling the shit out of it while applying a little tension will reliably open the cash register within a few seconds.
Someone commented somewhere that the picks end up flopping around a bit. I wonder what the warranty is on it?? I wouldn't like it if the "keys" didn't stay stowed inside until you want them to come out.
When properly assembled there should be enough internal friction between the SSF tools and spacers such that the tools should not be able to come out of position unless intentionally done so by the user.
Okay. That checks out. I guess there was a problem not using the right screws that come with the "expansion pack." I think I would buy it for sure if it had a couple tension wrenches somehow included. Impressive set.. Do you foresee the ability to store wrenches??n@@CovertInstrumentsOfficial
@@stephenwhite5421 How do you mean by the right screws? I set mine up exactly as LPL and there's not enough internal friction to keep the tools as tight as all of the videos show. I don't mind taking it apart and rebuilding it if there's a detail or something I missed about the screws.
Those little coil spring thingies should do the trick. I have some on certain Allen wrenches so I can hang them up. The coil slides over the object and "finger traps" it, has a loop at the end.
Peter, just so I don't leave you hanging, we are working on developing turning tools to integrate with the Covert Companion directly, we will hopefully have them around Q3 of this year.
@@CovertInstrumentsOfficial My Companion just arrived - any update on the integrated turning tool? I'd be first in line for that! Thanks for a great product (and for LPL's amazing content and soothing voice!) :-D
@@alexanderrichards6403 You would need to add an expansion screw to accommodate the extra tool, mount it on one side with a stack of spacers taking up the other side. large tools such as the multi tool cannot 'nest' as the SSF tools can so the opposing side must be free of tools
@@CovertInstrumentsOfficial ok thank you that is what i assumed but i wasnt sure if that was the case, also do you know the size it would be to have every tool on the one handle at once? also also how does the magnetic connector connect to the tool? thanks
I have no idea how you were able to insert the utility flat into the master lock 175 just so easily like that I have three in front of me that are probably about 10 years old and there’s no way it can fit between the number rollers no way at all very confusing
@@jjgarcia156 The expansion adds a slot for the tension tools, and you pull them out and use them separately. It just allows you to store the included tensioners along with your picks. Very handy
@@chompythebeast oooh I didn't know you could pull them out with the expansion slot. I thought they were attached unless you disassembled the entire Companion again. My mistake! Thank you
Just pointing out the LPL actually picks some stuff left-handed in this video. He's not left-handed. [EDIT] Okay, maybe this guy just looks and sounds a lot like LPL and is left-handed.
Beginning to think this is a waste of $90. The thin metal tool at 1:39 does not work. Tried it on a 175 setup the exact same way as seen in the video. The thin metal tool will not go into the lock more than an 1/8th of an inch. If I angle upward, the tool goes in, but does not open the lock. Additional attempts are bending the metal tool. Also, the comb used on the ML 140 at 4:12 doesn't work.
I was really disappointed by how worthless all the tools in this set seem to be! I have a Brinks just like the one in the video but the knife doesn't do anything with it. I tried the combs on a lot of locks but none of them worked and the teeth seem to be too short to push the pins up far enough to clear the cylinder. Also the rakes can't even open a simple Master lock that opens easily with one from a cheap Chinese set!
if you watch closely he not even using the tools to open the locks. pay close attention the locks are already unlocked when he starts. This hole video is FAKE!!!!!!
i look at that tool by 'Covert Instruments', and think; that's gotta be some very thin sheet-metal, that bends, and ruins very quickly. i've seen it in poorly made lock-picking tools. you can't have that many tools on a single item, and expect the sheet metal not to be thin. therefore, i would conclude, that tool isn't worth owning at all. you can't dispel the logic here. you can obfuscate and deny, but that doesn't solve the issue of quality.
It must be rough, feeling the need to posture like this 😆 Keep practising and hopefully you'll develop the finesse required to use delicate tools. The tools are robust where they should be (e.g. the comb picks) and flexible where they shouldn't (e.g. the utility shim) and it's a very satisfying bit of kit in my experience so far, especially with the expansion kit to add tensioners.
I look at your post and shake my head, have you looked at a Swiss Army Knife, your logic dictates you cannot have that many tools on a single item. Ergo the Swiss Army Knife is made of flimsy sheet metal. As the saying goes, looks can be deceiving. All you are doing is looking. Do you know the length, thickness, or width of the item? Have you actually seen the construction Have you actually seen the item? Have you read any of the reviews about this item? Have you watched the video of the LASER cutting out the individual tools in this item, if not go to czcams.com/video/j4ZpXCTSsCg/video.html at the end of the cutting part of the video you can see the material has the letters AMS printed on it, AMS is a materials Standard specified by the SAE. Which precludes it from being thin sheet metal. So you have no factual proof or evidence that 1. you cannot have that many tools on a single item. 2. The tools are made of flimsy sheet metal. You have only your opinion based on what you have seen in poorly made lockpicking tools. I do not know how long you have been following the lockpickinglawyer, and in all honesty, do you think for even a second he would produce an inferior product. Therefore I conclude that your knowledge of the item in question is considered insufficient to pronounce judgement on this item. In conclusion, I will quote you, "you can't dispel the logic here. you can obfuscate and deny, but that doesn't solve the issue of quality." In this instance, quality refers to your unsubstantiated statement.
Travis, This is due to the USPS shutting off all forms of shipping to Australia aside from Priority Mail Express International due to COVID-19. We are working on getting separate carriers set up for better international service and rates.
They are not responsible for the high shipping rates, buy locally but don't trash these sellers because of the shipping charges. I just passed on an item that would have been shipped to me in the US from Australia because of the shipping rates and the time it would have taken to get it, not the sellers fault.

The tools are robust where they should be (e.g. the comb picks) and flexible where they shouldn't (e.g. the utility shim) and it's a very satisfying bit of kit in my experience so far, especially with the expansion kit to add tensioners.
I look at your post and shake my head, have you looked at a Swiss Army Knife, your logic dictates you cannot have that many tools on a single item. Ergo the Swiss Army Knife is made of flimsy sheet metal. As the saying goes, looks can be deceiving. All you are doing is looking. Do you know the length, thickness, or width of the item? Have you actually seen the construction Have you actually seen the item? Have you read any of the reviews about this item? Have you watched the video of the LASER cutting out the individual tools in this item, if not go to czcams.com/video/j4ZpXCTSsCg/video.html at the end of the cutting part of the video you can see the material has the letters AMS printed on it, AMS is a materials Standard specified by the SAE. Which precludes it from being thin sheet metal. So you have no factual proof or evidence that
1. you cannot have that many tools on a single item. 2. The tools are made of flimsy sheet metal.
You have only your opinion based on what you have seen in poorly made lockpicking tools. I do not know how long you have been following the lockpickinglawyer, and in all honesty, do you think for even a second he would produce an inferior product. Therefore I conclude that your knowledge of the item in question is considered insufficient to pronounce judgement on this item. In conclusion, I will quote you, "you can't dispel the logic here. you can obfuscate and deny, but that doesn't solve the issue of quality." In this instance, quality refers to your unsubstantiated statement.
$68 to have this tiny piece shipped to Australia. Get stuffed. One star. Wouldn't buy.
Travis,
This is due to the USPS shutting off all forms of shipping to Australia aside from Priority Mail Express International due to COVID-19. We are working on getting separate carriers set up for better international service and rates.
They are not responsible for the high shipping rates, buy locally but don't trash these sellers because of the shipping charges. I just passed on an item that would have been shipped to me in the US from Australia because of the shipping rates and the time it would have taken to get it, not the sellers fault.
How is this the seller's fault? Should be telling the USPS to "get stuffed," and apply the blame to the correct organization.
Hard assembly for me with Ms....but I love it...😍🥰😍🥰😍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇨🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇹🇻🇹🇻🇹🇻
Does the base covert companion model come with tensioners/turning tools?
No
