American 1038 (Plus Bloopers)

Thought I would give my video editing skills a try and make a blooper reel of my previous efforts with this lock. I've gotten to a point where I can regularly open it now, but man was it a journey. Thanks for watching!
Darth Vader clip is not mine, got it from this CZcams video: • Darth Vader NO!

Funny stuff ... glad to see I’m not alone in slipping tension wrenches all over the place 🤪

[@kman1759]

It turned out that I just needed to apply heavier tension, then I was fine!

[@AveragePicker]

lol very typical 1100 bloopers lol ....lol....nicely put together

[@bearsback5099]

Great job my friend, I drop the tension wrench all the time.

[@kman1759]

I'd love to bend one of my TOK tension wrenches 90 degrees, like LPL does, but I'm afraid I'll just snap it haha

[@WilliamMancel]

Great video. I'd try a little super glue on the tension wrench. 😁

[@kman1759]

Haven't considered that haha, maybe I'll have to try! Thanks for watching

Such a great video, glad you stuck at it and got there in the end. We could tell by your voice how chuffed you were to get it open. Top job buddy 👍 🔐

[@kman1759]

Thanks for watching!

[@dazevers]

I absolutely love your video, I’ve thought about doing a similar video, but my use of the spoken language as been so bad that I’ve never been able to do a PG video lol, fantastic work putting the video together my friend. Enjoy your weekend.😎👍

[@kman1759]

Yeah that got edited out lol, thanks! Hope you do as well

[@two_tier_gary_rumain]

Your tensioner needs to be thicker. Or put it in a vise so you can hold it properly.

[@kman1759]

After spending a good amount of time with it, I ended up just needing to use heavier tension. I was trying to use feather light, but it turned out that heavier tension allowed me to hold it better and better tell what's going on in there. LPL's video really helped out

Great Video! just found you and subscribed! Good to see someone who loses Tensioner more than me,you need the dog ear pry bar for that lock(Peterson heavy bar serrated) lol! See my channel it will make you feel much better especially if you can sit through some of the battles I've had!! Try#39 first lol! Thanks for sharing hope to see more!!!
