#lockpicktools700
This is 90% of my collection. I have more stuff in bags that I didn't want to pull out while holding the camera with 2 hands. I lost count after 30 pick sets, but its between 30 and 40 unique sets.
This is also my submission into "The Lock Picker 1969"s #lockpicktools700 giveaway. If I win, I will donate my winnings to @thatlockpickguy777 since he is just getting started and he could benefit from this giveaway.
Thanks for watching and keep collecting!

Dude! YOU. ARE. OUT. OF. CONTROL!! This is doomsday zombie apocalypse hoarding. I now visualize your “lock lab” as being more of a “lock bunker” made out of a buried storage container out in the middle of the woods. If China ever drops the big one on our heads, you’ll starve to death, but locks won’t stand a damn chance. I love it! I love how organized your things are. I love your knowledge locks, lock picks as well as the lock picking industry. I love your channel. I love you. I can’t wait to see what you’ll do in the future. Seek help.
Ha! I think I will now devise a lock bat cave underground now. You have given me inspiration. That will be my next goal! Thanks for the compliments and thanks for watching!
Amazing!! True dedication!!!😊
I just started and am sitting here with 10 white belt locks and a genesis and echelon set. Watching this video is like watching a lock pick company run through its inventory. Amazing.
The amount of tools you have is absolutely insane, that is crazy. I thought I had a huge set, this dwarfs mine like crazy
ha! thanks. give it time, youll have too much eventually.
Beautiful locks, my brother.
thanks brother!
Awesome!! So very organized and such an immense collection. You are certain ly able to make judgements on what is good , bad and the ugly...Great video my friend.
Thanks for stopping by to watch!
Amazing collection, excellent organization and cool space. I think the white wire shelf and workbench with drawers are a great idea.
Thanks for watching! I was hesitant to make this video because I plan on putting shelving on one of my walls in another area but I forgot to add that to the video. Maybe next time
I just came across this video , and watched all the way through . There is so much I want to say here . I'm new to locksport and have been following your channel for about three months now . I listen not only to WHAT you are saying , but HOW you are saying it . I can hear it in your voice . I'm 66 years old , semi-retired , and live a very quiet life . Locksport has nicely filled a gap for me . As you have said , " Only get what you really need " . I'm fortunate enough to afford an " essentials " cross-section of tier 1 picks thanks to your guidance . Thanks for this peek into the world of Sandman .
That's awesome. what is your favorite brand so far?
I picked my first " real" lock ( Abus 55/30 ) with the 0.018 " JimyLong's Basic Set v4 . I have a question for you : The karate belt system gives three locks per belt - was the idea to pick all picks from each color , or choose one , then move to the next ? Thanks , sir .
@@stanwray7223 the karate belt system has dozens of locks per belt. Some of the belts have close to maybe 100 like green belt. Also, I think you joined my Facebook group, but you don’t have an actual Facebook profile so I had to remove you from the group. I’m sorry, I’m just trying to make sure we only have legit profiles in the group.
I'm sorry you had to remove me from the group . I will add something like a cover photo and profile pic to my FB page and re-apply to the group . Hopefully that will help . Keep an eye out for my application to the group again ...
All I can say is "OMG"... from Downunder!
I was hoping you’d be back! Drop me an email whenever your free. I would like to pick your brain about locks and tools. sandmanryu@protonmail.com
Thank you for sharing not only your tools, but your lab and collection! Quite awesome. You appear to be extremely organized like I consider myself. Love using the colored tape to indicate belt level. Awesome assortment of locks as well! Using the tool chest with drawers was a great touch! Would love to see a video on the covert instruments bag. Quite an extensive assortment of tools! Very impressive! Looks like we have quite a few complete sets in common. As much as I love LLT and liked the Renegade set, I had problems with the handles and the slots in them eating into the skin on my fingers on prolonged picking sessions. I have more Peterson's than I would care to admit to (multiple complete sets in different kits and variations). Enjoyed seeing the variety you have very much! Agree with you on using the HUK 8 piece set as a modification base for HS dimple locks. The piano wire tensioner you showed, you can also make similar tensioners using bicycle spokes. Have made a few that way and always have extra spokes on hand to make more when needed. Totally agree with you on the Multipick handles being too small, I had the same problem with them. Anyhow, thank you for sharing all of that and good luck in the giveaway!
Thank you very much for watching and thank you for the reply. Thank you for the advice on using bicycle spokes for piano wire turning tools, I’m definitely going to do that! Someone recently sent me true piano wire, but it just wasn’t big enough. I think bicycle spokes would be perfect.
Bare Bones makes handle for all the LLT picks. They are light and don't interfere with feedback, I can now use all five handle profiles with comfort, cheers
Wow , thanks , I'm 70 yr. Old , only 5 months into sport , you make me feel better , because I feel so guilt buying a pick for $ 9.00 , & hiding that I bought it . Very versatile impressive collection , I wish I knew someone in Tampa area that picks , no one understands this , my family thinks , I'm losing my mind , thank you
Haha! Peterson will make any lockpicket feel guilty lol. Welcome to the hobby. Check out the link in my recent videos to Discord, creat an account and drop into the “lounge” and ask any questions you have. Someone will be there to help you 24/7
Super sick set up. 👍
Thanks brother! I’m just trying to be as cool as you! 😎
Kudos for showing this, you could be opening yourself up for either abuse or celebration and thats a brave thing to do. Sat open mouthed for the last 10 minutes at least. Its obviously a massive part of your life (apologies i only know you through these videos and only been picking a year and a bit so you maybe someone should be more aware of) fantastical collection. Thanks
You’re fine, lol. Very few people actually know of me right now. Because there’s not a whole lot of Lockpickers that stick around longer than three years. The challenge lock community is not the same group of people that it was five years ago, or 10 years ago, or 15 years ago. Also, over the last 15 years I have changed my nickname for various reasons, but Sandman was my original moniker for the first five years in this hobby. There are probably only 15 people that are still around from 15 years ago. That’s why I decided to make this CZcams channel. I’m a nobody at the end of the day, but I have enough experience to give a proper opinion where its needed. I have been here this entire time for these 15 years, but I don’t participate in online forums or Facebook groups very much. I never stopped collecting, so I only stuck around in group settings for the purposes of purchasing or buying or collecting. Thanks for watching!
@@sandman_locksport thanks for an in depth answer. Shame you don't participate in forums, I spend a lot of time on the UK Locksport forum and the support from there has been fantastic, I maybe would have given up without it. Interesting about the three year turnover of people, I have already seen people come and go in my time, takes a specific type to stick around I guess. Looking forward to more of your content
@@NIGBEE-lock-bothering The UK forums are amazing. everyone is very supportive over there. I just dont like groups in general. Take advantage of reading old "write-ups" that members have posted. Some of the good ones should be "stickied" and pinned to the top of the topic section. Thats how I learned for the first 5 years, just reading someone elses write-ups. Long gone are those days of technical writings of delicate geniuses lol.
Very cool video. And a very impressive addiction you have. I hope to be so far in the hole as you one day. Lol
But you got some really awesome stuff in your collection. I'm admittedly envious.
Let me know if you ever wanna part with those Violator picks. The black and blues specifically. Is the brass pick and the red handle micarta in the same case Violator picks too maybe??? very similar design and style ...
I honestly have no idea who made them, i bought them maybe 11 years ago. could be though!
2:30 This is a cool idea. I'd like to see more details on how you set this up.
My goal is to sell them on my website so I won’t be showing them anymore than what you saw here until I’m ready to sell.
W o w. I'm way out of my league with my handmade stuff. Lol I'd be happy to take any of you "crap" tools. They would be upgrades to me
Thank you for watching
1. When my wife thinks I have a problem I'm showing her this video.
2. In fairness this is kinda what i'm going for!
He who has the most tools when he dies wins!
@@sandman_locksport 🤣 bury them with us and we'll lockpick open the pearly gates themselves 😅
lol M8
that's a collection dude!, maybe more then lockpickinglawyer :p
cool stuff!!!
LPL has over 10,000 locks in his collection so not quite there
was more about your picks :p@@sandman_locksport
That must cost a fortune!!! Especially all the locks and the Peterson picks! My question is how much do all those locks cost?
it will never matter the cost because it was accumulated over 15 years. you dont measure your love for your wife in one word, you show it over 10 years of marriage, and it becomes unmeasurable. hobbies are no different. thank you for watching!
I just learned about the “belt” grading system with locksport….LOVE the way you configured the locks especially the row of locks ranked from easy to hardest….
Yes, PLEASE do a video with the covert entry tools and the automotive lockout tools, I am currently studying covert entry. Found it to be quite challenging and fascinating! Welcome any helpful tips tricks you can offer by way of best items to purchase, where to purchase them, etc.
No problem, will do! Thanks for watching!
Amazing collection! Thanks for sharing!
I remember bezza, nice fella.
I still have your picks! No idea when I bought them.
Loose-Shirt here! That was excellent! Thank you for sharing. 😁
Thanks for watching!
Very nice collection and setup! I do the exact same thing with electrical tape, but my collection isn't NEARLY as comprehensive a yours.
I've found Craftsman bin storage organizers (or the like) to be extremely useful for storing small parts (extra picks, and essentially my entire lock collection). I have two for my lockpicking stuff, and recently added a new one for my new hobby of watch repair & maintenance.
That’s awesome, thank you for the advice. I’ll check it out.
Need more cowbell😂.
I got a feevah!
Awesome seeing your set up. Really like the idea of colour coding locks, I have to keep looking them up if i want to know the level they are. I also like how you a doing your practice before meet ups. Really great collection of locksport gear you have. I like seeing the early stuff of locksport history before my time. I would be interested in seeing your covert entry gear and automotive stuff. I would also be interested in knowing your opinion on bypass tools, not so much the stuff from CI that you have already gone through but the stuff you would take to a lockout, what's useful to have and what is crap that wastes money getting. Thanks for sharing Good luck in the draw, cheers
Thank you for watching! Just for you, I will definitely make a Covert entry tool bag video and an automotive video.
@@sandman_locksport cheers mate, appreciate you doing that
Hell yeah man, awesome setup. I also collected keys from a young age
Great minds think alike! Thanks for watching!
God help me I love this stuff !
Me too! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for showing your collection. I am definitely not a serious picker and have a fraction of the tools you have. What is the case that you have the Jimy Longs and Lishi in? That is what I need for mine.
It’s the Peterson “The Bible” for $100. I love mine. I did a review on it.
My Southord picks are shedding the chrome and I thought at first they were rusting. It urns out to be the copper underneath. I am debating either rechroming or stripping and then nickel plating. What are your thoughts?
no idea, i had no idea they were copper underneath. that would be cool to have plain copper too though, you could dimple or stipple them maybe and leave them copper. would be cool to see what you do. also, i tried to respond to your comment about you getting hit by a car, and having put on and lost weight, but the comment seems to be gone. Dont think I'm ignoring you. It wont let me reply to that comment in the story. yeah I'm in the same boat. I used to be an Amateur MMA Fighter and a Marine, fought at 204lb light heavy weight. Then i ballooned up to 312 at my biggest. I lost 90 lbs last year from keto. been keto for 18 months now. I love it. best thing to ever happen to me. I'm now at 230. I feel better but still want to lose another 20 if i can. keep working hard!
@@sandman_locksport I don't know what the heck CZcams does sometimes. Thanks brother. I lost 57 pounds so far and the last 40 or so is really going slowly. I am so excited!!! I found someone who had the Lock pick design manual from Palladin and it is in brand new shape. It must have been on his shelf since the 90's. So now it is mine and it only cost me a small fortune. I definitely want to start making my own picks. Yes absolutely I would love to strip the chrome off and just have the copper but they have stainless handles riveted onto the actual pick material. I was EOD but that was a lifetime ago and I am lucky to still be alive. I was in Homeland security for two years and did some really covert stuff here and elsewhere. One day a man walked through my locked door to my office/lab and said leave. take whatever you can carry but don't look back and I did what I was told.
@@johnkoury1116 that’s a crazy story! And thank you for your service. My sister, I worked for Homeland security as a dispatcher for a while. I always wanted to work for them, but I knew it was just a pipe dream. Don’t forget any of the skills that you learned, and feel free to share them with me! 😆
@@sandman_locksport Absolutely my friend. We should plan on attending DefCon if they are still having it. They have a whole village devoted to locks and everything associated with them. I am sure you know about Def Con..Right. I will try and email you and I will give yo Amy number.
@@sandman_locksport I started out EOD and I was quickly placed into TSCM and wow do I have stories. I was telling a story at a party one night and after I was done some guy near the bar said I saw that on a show Called Burn Notice. One of my close friends said well I heard that story before there was even a show called burn notice.
A legendary Lock Lab indeed. With so much history in it, I'm surprised you can keep track of it all! I'm very excited to see more of your stuff, and regarding the stuff you're putting together, is there any way to sponsor you? I'd not mind giving you some money towards these giveaways you're talking about, especially considering how influential you've already become in the tight-knit locksport community since your return.
Thank you for your support brother! No, I won’t be excepting any donations anytime soon. But I am currently working with two people. You know in the community on some upcoming projects. I have to be careful that I’m not offering something to the community that would be a conflict of interest with my reviews. I will offer something very unique and limited instead. You will be the first to know about it I promise!
If they don't get they're blue belt I'm actually working to get mine right now 😂😂😂 I'll probably leave another comment after I finish watching the video 🤘😎🤘
Bro...! I just want to visit for a month....other than some pizza deliveries you wo t even know i was there.... that is some Bosnian Bill-level shit right there 👍
Awesome setup and collection! What workbench is that? I eventually want to get a workbench for picking
It’s a husky from Home Depot. It is adjustable height and has 2 drawers.
This man has the holy grail of tools 😂 pretty awesome to see man. I'm just catching up on some of your videos right now. Definitely didn't expect to see all of this 😂🤘😎🤘 Love the videos man keep them coming
Thanks for watching
@@sandman_locksport always a pleasure
Subbed. Beautiful setup man. I'm envious. I'm just in the beginner stage of locksport but making good progress.
You’ll get there. Just buy what you need at first and the rest is just for fun. Thanks for watching!
@sandman_locksport what is name of the vice you're using? Ive got a cheapy I'm looking to upgrade.
@@prairiestatepatriots its the PANAVISE 350 Multi-Purpose Work Center made famous by bosnian bill. its the best and last vice youll ever need for this hobby. cost is under $100 on amazon. worth it!
@@sandman_locksport I'll ve picking one up soon. Thanks man!
The truth is that I would be happy if you made a video about the black flags of sparrows. I bought them because I wanted to invest in quality tools at a lower price than multipick and I was quite disappointed. Would be nice with someone with a channel to be able to bring the feelings and thoughts of the buyers.
Well, the good news is, you don’t need me to make a video of it because you already found out for yourself that they are garbage. Lol. It’s unfortunate I know. But that’s just the way tools are. I’ll be putting out a view on them shortly. Thank you for your support and thank you for watching!
@@sandman_locksport Thanks. It feels to me that today's content creators are too afraid to go head to head with big companies, in order not to get hurt. For example what Peterson did to lockpickinlawyer and bosnianbill.
And true, I don't need the video, but future buyers do, and maybe it will make the sparrows change the design.
@@hgec I agree. there needs to be a conversation to force some change and quality control.
Very impressive! How standardized are the belt levels? Never heard of that system before
The system has been in place since 2014 and grows every year with few changes. It’s worth a dive into it. Gives the hobby purposes thanks for watching!
Can you either do a video on how to put together a practice lock system in ranking order like you described? I would like to set my locks up like that. Would help me figure out where I actually am. I figure I am still at the bottom or close to it. Can consistently pick a couple of brinks high security locks, but still can’t pick a Masterlock 930 series or an American Lock 1100 series.
Google LPUbeltsdotcom. That will give you an idea of where you are at.
@@sandman_locksport do you have to pick all of the locks under each listing? How does that work? And I noticed that the Masterlock no. 19 isn't listed, even though for many years o n ly a handful of people ever successfully picked one.
@@robertl.grayjr.nremt-p994 I have a link to the discord group in the description, go there and all your questions will be answered!
Is there any way to purchase those Pad Locks that are in the color scheme of the LPU belt system? Or could you make a video on which locks you bought to make those and swapped out with which cylinders? I'm sure those would sell really well if LPU made those and sold for their ranking system.
Thanks - love all your videos! Keep it up
I made a video. Look for it
What a fantastic setup. Where did you get the color coded bodies?
I special ordered them from pacific lock, I plan to sell them someday soon on my website so keep an eye out for them.
How do you like the lishi tools? I know they are good everyone loves them but are they worth the money? Haven't caved and bought one yet. Just got my riv-pick btw. Know it's off topic but so sick
I love my leash tools. But I bought up mine while they were on sale. I would say 50% I purchased from covert instruments when they were on sale. And the other 50% I bought from lockpics.com. Covert Instruments when they are on sale will beat everybody else’s prices by five dollars. They’re worth buying, but only on sale. I don’t think they’re worth more than 50 bucks each.
Great collection man! Do u have any of the limited run "dick picks" before it was discontinued?
Yes! Would you like me to send you some dick picks? I have some I want to show you. I have a whole bag of dick picks I can send you! Jk lol no not yet. The shipping on those is as much as the pick! lol 😂
What was the huge padlock hanging on the rack?
Sargent & Greenleaf model 951 w/medeco core
Thought so..I have a 831 B new in the box ..I've tried to pick it,not going to happen! David Storm got me into this year's ago..thanks for the reply!
@@tomwheeler9244 Who is David Storm, is he the brit that made Storm Lockpicks in the UK 10 years ago?
@@sandman_locksport Yes..not brit though..he used to set up at "shows" here in ohio,very good with locks..and VERY good at wilderness survival..I like your approach to this hobby..thanks for the channel
Forgot..he did design and pick set that I believe Bosnian bill liked a lot..dont remember details
Was that one cutaway a dangerfield or multipick?
dont know which your talking about but i dont have dangerfield or multipick cutaways. i have UKLP cutaways though. they are really great quality.
@sandman_locksport gocha, yeah ive been using a dangerfield infinitus for about 2 weeks now going back to basics to really hone in my feel and such before i tackle this AL1100 for my green belt lol
@@jonholistik You can do it, you will always get better if you just keep up the practice. even on the easier locks.
if you need to work on your organization skills then my house is a tornado
Ha! But I bet you have some cool stuff to show for it!
