(1093) Challenge: Picky Swede Assa

[@genesises]

hilarious intro and some factual information about sweden! as a swede i can confirm

[@Ailasor]

oh please stfu

[@rasmuslundin199]

Synth Ovine sorry but you have got your information from Fox news. so if you want to know how life in Sweden looks like I'll be happy to show you.

[@rasmuslundin199]

Still you are wrong you might have read about Malmö i have lived there.

[@genesises]

+Synth Ovine Now that's some copy paste opinion right there, only thing you show is that you are frustrated and kind of a douche. Would be kind of you to remove your comment as I don't think this kind of "discussion" belongs on this channel, and you can keep it to your circle of friends (who probably don't want to hear it either).

[@mabs503]

Well... hmm... Synth Ovine: So you think you are informed? I'd say you still have some more level information to find. The criminals in Malmö generally target each other, when fighting over "rights" to sell drug. The criminals that get visual are mostly 2nd generation immigrants from former Yugoslavia and Middle East and the other big group is bike gang related criminals like HA and Bandidos. There is no No Go Zone. I have never felt scared in any part of Malmö. There are places where I will not go alone and drunk during the night, but that's to be expected in any larger city. Regarding targeting jews, that's just not true. The crimes are in general not related to religion or ethnicity, much more related to socioeconomic factors like what area you are in and come from. Crime in Malmö has decreased in general the last 3-4 years, but the general perception about the level of crime has not. That will take some time, and that's not something that makes headlines

[@davidkraft158]

As a locksmith in Sweden, who works with assa everyday. I can tell you that most of the top pins aren’t original. The springs are the old type. The lock is called Assa 500. Channel two and four top pins are homemade.

[@send9]

Great video! I've never seen a copper bodied ASSA before and the pins were great. I had some salty licorice while working in Finland; it's definitely intense. We'd give a piece to any new person showing up on site as a welcome to Finland. There's salty licorice alcohol too.

[@thepickyswede6596]

Glad you liked the lock and the candy! And yes, the fourth top pin is home made. Undercuts made without slip? Hold on to the dremel tool :D I have another one even more vicious lock. Maybe it will reach the states also :D

[@bosnianbill]

Can't wait to see the next one. Did you find the address for the person you want me to mail this one to?

[@thepickyswede6596]

bosnianbill sent him a messages to respond to the email you sent me. He didn't send you anything? I will message him again...

[@AlbertLebel]

Very nice work.

[@seanc6128]

I appreciate the humor Bill.

[@MrMartinSchou]

The white stuff on Djungelvrål is ammonium chloride. It's a very distinctive taste and quite popular in Scandinavia, and if you've had it a few times, just the reminder several years later will make your saliva glands go into overdrive.

[@slemsvamp]

social eating AND lockpicking, bill, you're just getting better and better :D also, great intro and your swedish knowledge is on point!

[@AlbertLebel]

Wonderful job Bill. And what a great set-up on that lock.

[@FXGreggan.]

For some reason only nordic people like the ammonium chloride covered liquorice candies... We swedes and finns love them :)

[@micglou]

Nope... very popular candy in The Netherlands, mostly with adults. And also Germans likes them if I'm not mistaken. I'd say liked in Northern Europe than only Nordic.

[@pev_]

It is not "covered" with ammonium chloride, it is mixed with it (and called salmiakki in Finland, look it up in wikipedia). I don't know this particular swedish brand, but the best of salmiakki candies are really nice, they are like a whole new world of taste sensation.

[@FXGreggan.]

Djungelvrål is a sweet liquorice dipped in ammonium chloride

[@pev_]

Are you sure? Because I'm quite sure that if you were to just "dip" a piece of candy in it, the flavour would not last a second! Then it would be just like chewing a mundane liquorice.

[@soerenwizard]

Djungelvrål means something like 'jungle scream'. Salt liquorice. Not favored in the english speaking world.

[@J3n555]

The djungelvrål isnt for everyone, but I love licorice! The Zoo ones are really good and sweet.

[@umetheemu5150]

oh yes the good old days when we fed giraffes from our school bus.nice!

[@johndododoe1411]

On the school trip to the outdoor zoo where the monkeys would pull off all the chrome trimmings on the bus.

[@larryg7336]

I love the pins,it looks like he made them all, To you Mr.Bill good job on picking this lock.🔓

[@casperleeberg]

As a dane, I can confirm everything you said about Sweden

[@Xfactor7430]

hæhæhæ sådan.!;))

[@nordicresilience]

Watch out for them "Ahlgrens Bilar", they are addictive :-D

[@BurkenProductions]

The regular newer ASSA locks have 7 pins though. That 5 pin one must be like 40-50 years old :)

[@Lockpicker1973]

Bwahahahaha..... love the comic report. I'm sure you've had a lifetime of incredible experiences. The monkey pellets were guarding the lock ...

[@LockpickingNord]

Nice little Assa well picked my friend! i love all the pins!👍👍

[@minmatenx]

Love this man. He's gotta be responsible for our interest in this wonderful hobby. Enjoy retirement bro. Thanks for improving my life.

[@finjones10345]

Those Christmas trees look more like chess queen's to me. Very cool and very nice!

[@peterlandin457]

The "härfågel" is found in southern Sweden, its not as common but its there =) Also, the Swedish candy "bilar", that means Cars, is awesome :D

[@TrikeRoadPoet]

Great lock and love the candy!

[@callease]

Great intro...I just spit my lunch on my computer.

[@BurkenProductions]

The chocolate bar is called mjölkchoklad which is milk chocolate. That's the pretty standard bar (in the smallest package) here in Sweden. Then you have Djungelvrål which meand Jungle Roar.. I think it's licorice and salt...crazy :) And no we do not have monkies nor giraffes here. The Zoo candy though is really nice! The last one is call Bilar (not your name) it means cars. Has been one of the standard candy here for decades too.

[@mr.e.436]

Humor much appreciated!

[@Eddiecurrent2000]

Those "christmas tree" pins remind me of a chocolate fountain! Quite apt for the number of candies you've got there.

[@harrychung433]

No more sweets till you have taken care of that follower, Bill.

[@christopherstigson6377]

That lock was almoat the exact same order as my ASSA NN5 series (they are NN keyway profile and 5 pins). Last pin is 1 on mine too :) like your vids. More ASSA

[@t4stingo]

You lucked out on the candy, but damn those locks.

[@LumocolorARTnr1319]

Djungelvrål

[@DonzLockz]

Candy jokes cracked me up. Very pretty lock n pins!

[@thelockpickinglebowski633]

I name those Christmas tree pins as "wedding cakes".

[@pavphone2616]

Bil seems to be very satisfied with his government.

[@LoppanH]

Bilar = Cars, Bil = Car, Mjölk = Milk and they tried to be a bit funny when they wrote "Sveriges mest köpta bil" on the package which means Sweden's most bought car. Nice picking as usually.

[@MrKaffeGrums]

Hey, those "jungle pellets" are delicious! :D But what I gather from this, is that you should never ever trust what Bill says about a country. On locks, I trust him, but countries... Not so much. xD

[@swedishspymuseum]

Bill, the "Monkey pellets" is to be translated into "Jungle Screech" and your "lucky charms" are called "Cars" and started to sell in 1953 so yes, they are very traditional in Sweden. They have a "big brother" called, "Limousine" too. The Jungle screech is as you discovered very salty and "licorice" (yes we have both sweet and salty licorice) while the "cars" are sweet and chewy. The chocolate is a very Swedish brand and taste sweeter than for example Swiss made chocolate.

[@RealCadde]

Jungle roar, not jungle screech.

[@jesperahman738]

You have to let us know if you enjoy the Djungelvrål. I yet haven't seen any non-Scandinavian who like them.

[@liamilvelius557]

3 years ago... i am and live here Stockholm, Sweden All of that is Candy for humans ;) Faumous Marabou choklad Mm Mm!! Pick locks for 2 or 3 years ago. And our Swedish locks i picked are harder than locks from other countrys!

[@AMStationEngineer]

Everyone else here, and rightly so, is commenting about locks, so I'll comment about the "Cuckoo". In short, "Cuckoo" primarily refers to one particular bird, the European Cuckoo, and other birds of a similar genome (including the Roadrunner). "Cuckoo" has a second meaning in the avian world, "any breed of bird which has the devious attribute of laying its eggs in the nest of another bird". There are Cuckoo Ducks (Black Ducks, like 'Daffy'), Cuckoo Chickens (the Maran Chicken, for one), and a few other types that I am sure to have missed. I enjoy the heck out of these locksport videos, by the way!

[@douro20]

Salt licorice. Known in Sweden as salmiak (from Finnish 'salmiakki').

[@hertzyscowicz7066]

Which, I might add, is a contraction of "sal ammoniac". That's not a quaint old-timey name for something innocuous, it's actually produced by neutralizing hydrochloric acid with ammonia.

[@johnfrancisdoe1563]

Hertzyscowicz But originally, it was obtained directly from a natural deposit in Egypt, religiously associated with the deity Amun. Hence "Salt of Amun". The relationship to what is now known as Ammonia was discovered centuries later and named after the salt.

[@jamesozment1]

Bill , out of all the channels i subscribe too this one is my favorite! You may not know this but you taught me how to pick serated pins in an american lock. Your channel has been a wealth of knowledge for me. Thank you ! I remember my first time i pucked an assa oval . I felt high and was so excited i got on my girlfriends nerves. Ps: do you have any locks i could borrow? I'm all out of locks to pick.

[@jfilm7466]

There was a lot of bumping that seemed to work here in Sweden. It even made it on the news.

[@asaguda]

Did you try the Djungelvrål? We almost need a reaction video for it! Nothing amuses me more than seeing people choke on something that I can just chow down like it were candy. Because it is for us northern folk!

[@asaguda]

Ah, yes you did! :D Delicious, aren't they?

[@Eyadish90]

Välfärdslås! Swede approves!

[@blayral]

I should make a youtube channel to receive free candies ! I knew I choose the wrong job dammit !

[@mikelakner5622]

A cross between Willy Wonka and Bosnian Bill would make for an interesting channel. Bosnian Willy?

[@blayral]

Billy Wonka?

[@mikelakner5622]

Here is a chocolate padlock, maybe the only thing easier to get into than a Masterlock? www.blogandbuysale.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/original_chocolate-padlock.jpg

[@blayral]

Bill can open it with his teeth!

[@MagicInternetMonkey]

Someone know's how to figure out wich model of assa lock someone owns, because I have two and they look old! Do they come standard with security pins

[@johnfrancisdoe1563]

Martin Thibodeau Assa has a long tradition of using the same outer cylinder bodies for a multitude of models, allowing locksmiths to insert any current core into any body shape when rekeying for customers. So best bet is to look at the warding of the keyhole and match it up to a specific small number of alternatives. Next look inside the keyhole for any sidebars (The 1600 series etc.), which are offered with the same warding as no-sidebar cores to allow mixing high and low security in a system with shared keys. Also look at the body if it's one of the electronic versions where a chip and battery in the key handle talks to a chip in the body, which then decides if it should electrically lift the rearmost pin using power from the key battery.

[@sovietrussia3632]

I'm having trouble with a master lock vline series. can't spp it. Edit: nvm I wasn't using enough tension. Great video bill!

[@brolyrules14]

My friend sent me snus from Sweden and their stamps are really nice.

[@sonomahvac8145]

I’d call the Christmas trees Stanley cups haha

[@tallman11282]

Nice picking job. Pins 1, 3 and 5 in the bible look like lighthouses to me, not Christmas Trees. I personally don't see any resemblance to Christmas Trees in them. Key pin 5, and to a lesser extent 3, looks like a bomb to me.

[@thomassims5635]

lock smiths the one trade were those who take part in it actively want their job to be difficult and strive to make it so

[@johnfrancisdoe1563]

Thomas Sims Same in many sports. Trying to make life harder for the competition.

[@hockeyhacker97]

10:42... What? Not a Stanley Cup pin? Not quit but fairly close in shape.

[@jokerswild8489]

@bosnianbill I'm new to lockpicking thanks to you I fell inlove with the art because of your videos! Unfortunately I have to make picks out of zip ties and been popping @MasterLock open left and right. Please could you help me with a good basic pick? Again love your videos

[@andersjjensen]

If you are still in the sport i can recommend the Praxis kit by UKBumpkeys (link to UK and US warehouse in the description). It has all the standard hooks, rakes and tension tools. And the picks come in both .015" and .023" which is a god damn blessing!

[@NickiLasse]

bil means car in Danish/swedish it actually says:(directly translated) cars (bilar) Sweden's​ most bought car (Sveriges mest køpta bil)

[@RoeLunatic4ever]

Nice candy-info!

[@BurkenProductions]

Why you call them xmas tree? And also how do you see if it's a homemade pin??

[@Insainity33]

I laughed out a little too loud at: "These are monkey pellets" xD

[@jzburda]

Alot of those bottom pins remind me of warheads.

[@andersjjensen]

The ASSA "torpedo" key pins are infamous for being hard to get back down if you over set them. You pretty much have to recock the lock and start over... They also come in a version where the top edge is tapered so it gives you counter rotation trying to lure you into an over set... ASSA really likes us pickers so they give us all the love their engineers can come up with :P Grab hold of an ASSA SCD 700 if you wan't a field day of picking: 7 pins, factory countermilled core, christmas trees and tapered pins for drivers, torpedo key pins and super super tight tolerances... only "good" thing is that you can get a straight shot at the pins from the bottom with a .015" pick.

[@theavidpicker2721]

Nice picking Mr. Johnson! Lol

[@teg828]

Did anyone read the names of the donators? Mr. Grant Access: You have my respect for that name!

[@jfilm7466]

Shame you didn't get Turkish Pepper 😂

[@dustysparks]

Honest question, Bill, with that type of core where there are no (visible) plugs or holes in the bible, how the hell are those chambers machined in the first place? Are the chambers plugged and polished after the fact?

[@thepickyswede6596]

Dustin Sparks they are machined from the bottom and then plugged. If you look closely in real life, you can see them.

[@bosnianbill]

You nailed it exactly. They drill from either the top or the bottom, then refill the holes.

[@screwdajuice]

Pretty common bird in Swedenstan, yes

[@2lefThumbs]

and they (welll many of my fellow Britons) say Americans have no irony! Very entertaining monologue to fill in the gaps -do you share a script team with This Old Tony Bill?

[@primeusante7224]

The Candy was Djungel Vrål! that is translated something like djungel scream, then there was Ahlgrens bilar (Ahlgren is the name of the factory making those, and BIL is the same as CAR, manufactured since 1953) And last was a chocolate bar made by Marabo! (Standard milk chocolate)

[@joshcampos6031]

Are they actually just kids candy with animals on the packaging?

[@-Devy-]

Josh Campos Yes they are.

[@NatashasTemuFinds]

Heja Sverige!

[@VicariousReality7]

Bara fyrtifem spänn för å skicka allt det där till amerika???

[@bosnianbill]

Apparently so.

[@czystokrwistypureblood]

Excellent sence of sarcasm BosnianBill. 😁😁😁

[@rasmuslundin199]

no no we only have polarbears in Sweden

[@tyler-nh5so]

happy times

[@tsfcancerman]

those bird you can find very far north in norway

[@AB-gz9yb]

Did he say 600dollars worth of stamps

[@genesises]

the stamps are 40 and 5 SEK, the stamps themselves might have more value though due to rarity, not sure. 45 sek is about $8

[@DonzLockz]

Mugshot Marley. Umm...a joke!

[@kefiorran]

45 SEK is $5.20

[@3DMegadoodoo]

Augh I read them as 5 kr 40 öre and was already outraged at how cheap postage is in Sweden.

More like $5.2

[@lukebentley1341]

finally the pliers bill hurrah!! i cringe most videos wating for an injury removing those clips

[@Dalkarl]

It's actually 45SEK worth of stamps. About 6dollars or something.

[@dsloop3907]

I had some licorce from Sweden. nasty nasty nasty.

[@FusionDeveloper]

*REMINDER* File plug follower edge. :-)

[@dakoitwuther7181]

he's a good person it's official

[@hralmunk2016]

Sweden #represent! I have no idea why we have that bird on the stamp because they do not exist in Sweden :)

[@3DMegadoodoo]

Catering to (bird) stamp collectors is the likely answer.

[@tallabomba]

We do have them in Sweden. In the south. They are called Härfågel in Swedish.

[@3DMegadoodoo]

Really? According to Wikipedia, Scandinavia is just about the only place where you won't find them. (Of course more the fool me for trusting Wikipedia on anything.)

[@Diabolus1978]

Lauri3000 Google translated this for ya. sry for any error blame Google lol During the 19th century, the peacock was a fairly common hedgehog in southeast Sweden. However, at the beginning of the 20th century it had disappeared. For a decade, 1986 - 1996, it returned and hatched regularly in southeast Sweden on Öland and Gotland. As a rule, 28 sites were found with pairs or single birds. Since 2000, the peat bird is once again lost as a hedgehog in the country. Changes in the landscape are considered to be the main reason for the decline of the species. Probably the peat bird is difficult to find food as pastures are becoming increasingly rare in modern agriculture. The increased poison use in nature's winter areas also helps to reduce the number of species.

[@3DMegadoodoo]

Errors? Looks legit.

[@gregoryfilin8040]

Coming soon: locklab comedy hour.

[@chainsaw2046]

Gregory Filin it's already been here in chunks

[@Heckatomba]

I'm kinda disappointed he didn't say anything about a marabou stork.

[@tsfcancerman]

no its 45svkr thats aprox 4 pounds in stamps, 5 dollar/4,5 euro.

[@hafkensite]

why only 360p? seems I was too fast, full hd is now available as an option. great picking

[@anderssrensen7533]

mine was 1080

[@hafkensite]

anders sørensen maybe I was to fast, KZbin might need some more time for the higher resolution

[@Dumbfakk]

hafkensite why dont u just change the quality?

[@UltraSuperDuperFreak]

I dont know anything about locks. (i jsut started watchign these after a random suggestion haha) So could any kind soul be so nice to explane why the pins just dont fall down again after he moves to next pin. ? i am purely guessing thats what hes doing, pushing em into place one by one. What i dont get is why they stay there until he get em all ... seems to me that would be a smarter design to make locks safer if pins fell down again. the springs doesn seem to do that well enough. Because a key would clearly be able to hold all up , but that tool doesn seems cable of holding more then one up of the time.

[@andersjjensen]

I guess by now you have figured out that this is exactly why we put tension on the lock.. to force things to bind up, to overcome the spring tension behind the driver pins (and to separate key pins and driver pins at the shear line).

[@geebsterswats]

man. I been watching for quite a while (since episode 700 something). where, oh where, do you get these awesome graphic intros!? the lock lab tribe? or are you a computer genius as well as lock picker, plus your day job!?

[@matthewbeddow3278]

I'm pretty sure that the Monkey Pellets are salty licorice which sounds weird !

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

Is there any other kind that edible? Sweet licorice is just wrong... So very wrong... :) What's really funny though is that the salty taste comes from ammonium chloride, which is created when you neutralize hydrochloric acid with ammonia (thank you Hertzyscowicz for saving me a trip to Google). That really sounds tasty, right?

[@matthewbeddow3278]

I've never tried it that way , but i'd give it a shot

[@richetherapperinductionsol9155]

there are no school busses in Sweden. And when You said that you were going to eat a handful or whatever of the 'jungle scream' candy I was shocked. You obviously don't know the force of swedish candy

[@95spades]

45 swedish kronor hardly breaks five bucks. Just fyi Was what I was gonna say. Then came the alternative candy facts. 11/10, would be fooled again.

[@jack002tuber]

I saw a pin in there that looks like the Holy Grail

[@BalubishTech]

Bil = Car in Swedish :) And no its all candy for humans hehe

[@kose2ik]

surströmming is best ;) Sweden

[@tsfcancerman]

no they are jungle screams
