[133] Commando Lock IC3 Tactical (w/ Shackle Guard) Picked

[@imnew2nm324]

"This is a lock that I would use...", the highest known praise for any lock, anywhere

[@PapaGleb]

Told you these locks are worth checking out. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Papa Gleb Yup... your comment was why I picked this one up. I like it. Thanks.

[@forteandblues]

I love commando locks.

[@johncashwell1024]

Reaching out to the Locksport community to make a better lock, instead of leaving it to the engineers, results in a lock that Lockpickinglawyer would purchase to use. And it is made right here in Michigan, USA! I will be replacing my MasterGarbage padlocks with Commando products. I have been watching & waiting for LPL to review a basic padlock and be happy enough with it to stamp it with the LPL Great Seal of Approval!

[@commandolockcompany]

Great pick and I love the spinner! Thanks for sharing.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+commandolockcompany Thanks, and nice job putting this lock together. From a pick resistance perspective, this lock distinguishes itself above it's competitors, and not just with the security pins (which are nice), but also in making people pick the lock twice!

[@yzhang8629]

When I’m watching video 1051, the advertisement of Commando Locks showed up before the video began. I searched “lockpickinglawyer commando” immediately to see how well the lock performs so that it dares to advertise before lockpickinglawyer videos.

[@Turnabout]

Thanks to this video, I purchased this lock for my small storage space and I couldn't be happier.

[@mwilson14]

I really didn't expect this lick to be very good at all. I might need to take a look again at that link I sent you. Thanks for letting me know about this video.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

No problem. I'll admit that the name is cheesy as heck. I was not expecting much, but the lock is not bad, and the company is earning a good reputation for quality and pick resistance.

[@scowlistic]

Thanks, I'm getting one for my bike chain now. Saying you would use one sold me on it.

[@scowlistic]

Paired with a 7mm Laclede lockdown chain, I had to file a bit off the inside of the shackle guard but so far so good. (knocks on wood)

[@blade00000009Windows]

How has it held up so far

[@scowlistic]

@@blade00000009Windows still use it everyday, still have my bike in a college town. I even bought another one, great lock and only 35 bucks.

[@brianhignett8954]

Hi Harry, Great little padlock, so well designed and thought out. Great picking too, of course. You always make it look easy - which in most cases it's not! Regards, Brian.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Brian Hignett Thanks. Definitely a nice design. I particularly like the fact that you have to pick it twice (or use the plug spinner). You make a good point that the difficulty of a lock doesn't always make it across in the video. I don't have a good solution for that.

[@SailorYue]

I'm glad I just got this lock for our storage unit, both sides of the locker have been tampered with several times and I was at my wits end with the amount of times they've been cut off

[@spdcrzy]

I know the owner of this company! He's a pretty cool guy ^_^

[@mynock250]

Fantastic lock I just picked up, look forward to trying to pick, great video.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks. These locks are pretty nice.

[@IthBombgard]

Awesome video as always man. I have the CLC Blackout and CLC Peacemaker. 44CZ. I really like the locks a lot. I was curious about the IC3 locks and now that I have seen such a nice demo of them I will be adding one to my list for sure (once I save up lock funds again - just blew it all on an Abus 83/80 - haha!) Take care man, and thanks!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Ith Bombgard Thanks. And nice little collection. These locks are nice.

[@madogllewellyn]

Love this lock works great on our fuel tanks and tool boxes around the farm....and when I deploy on military trips lol

[@orlyb7497]

A very impressive video. I've been looking for a not so big of a padlock to secure my bike. I think I may have found it. I"ll be using it w/ BBB Bl14 power chain w/ mini u lock. Thank you and more power to you.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks. These locks are pretty impressive for their size. If the chain blocks all access to the shackle, its pretty secure from all but the most severe brute force attacks. I can't imagine a bike thief with the skills to open this guy up... at least not in a reasonable amount of time.

[@orlyb7497]

I just bought one from ebay.ca. I'm so impressed by it and your added info/comment regarding the built of this padlock. Again, many thanks.

[@rufusbass]

Great videos-so..Question-for a storage unit with a small aperture /loop to insert a padlock shackle through..What padlocks do you recommend?

[@MultiVde]

Very interesting lock indeed :) Thank you showing

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+vde Thanks.

[@adrianleon9487]

bonito candado. parece bastante resistente. buen trabajo como siempre. SALUDOS

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+adrian leon Gracias

[@j-sonS]

I just got this lock yesterday. Comes with two size shackles and a cable too.

[@Potti314]

Interesting lock, well picked.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Potti314 Thanks.

[@jeffmoss26]

nicely done, I have one in my collection! Patrick is a great guy.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Jeff Moss Thanks. Patrick?

[@jeffmoss26]

Patrick Smith, the owner of Commando.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

***** Oh. Thanks.

[@tonyholt90]

well done as usual. that's a good plug spinner , where did you get ?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks. It's from Peterson... Not as powerful as some other brands, but it fits in my pick case, so better the one you have...

[@rjrobertjames9804]

Nice lock. Well done

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+RJ Robert James Thanks.

[@ZombieLock]

cool little lock.. good picking

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Zombie Lock THanks.

[@richscott2090]

Nice work

[@hugomartel8552]

Great picking buddy!!!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Hugo Martel Thanks.

[@Johnyrocket70]

can't wait to get my hands on commando security pins, have you seen them? they make American pins look like kids play. whenever that company grows and starts making IC cores & locks then the pins will be available on the market. they are straight lock porn.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+JB I've only seen the pins in the old BosnianBill video, when he ground one apart. Have they changed since then?

[@Johnyrocket70]

+LockPickingLawyer I recently seen one & it's security pins make American pins look like a wimpy starting point. deep wide serrations ect

[@mechanicandskills7215]

nice padlock great video

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thank you.

[@g.j.b.1772]

I would like to know in your opinion, what is the Best Lock, and most resistant to picking; for a lock that will be used on an Outside Storage Unit?

[@CristiNeagu]

How are you picking them so fast? Most everyone else takes at least twice as long as you.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Three things: (1) practice, (2) practice, and (3) practice.

[@CristiNeagu]

LockPickingLawyer Well.. i don't know what else i was expecting, really...

[@Charliemmafan]

How can you really recommend a lock when you picked it open so easily?

[@OnThe23rd]

Because the majority of people are not skilled enough to pick these and he knows it.

[@seraphikimercury4921]

May I ask where I can get a plug spinner like that one? Hpc's plug spinners suck.

[@MrMarcelpare]

Not the kind of lock you want to get in the safe house in the zombie apocalypse! Nice pick!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Marcel Pare LOL. A little bit of a PITA getting into, and even more to lock up, but not too bad and I like it anyway.

[@BboyFlimsy]

Can anyone recommend a good latch a good latch for this lock. I have a shed I keep my bikes and various tools and things that are valuable to me. I'm trying to make it as secure as possible for my budget. This is the lock I plan on getting, but the janky old latch I'd be keeping the lock in would be no problem to saw thru. I am on a tight budget, but would love any recommendations. My current latch is kept on with torx bolts and locking nuts, and the pins for the hinges are on the inside. I think everything is fairly secure except the latch its self.

[@warrmalaski8570]

The keyway is so thin my normal picks cant fit.

[@KingDerp93]

Revisit?

[@64akon]

why they dont just make them removable shackle it would be easier to unlock

[@lockpickinglawyer]

A good question for the lock maker. I suspect the answer is that the base lock is intended for use as an interchangeable shackle lock, but without the shackle guard. There's no doubt that the shackle guard creates some usability issues, but having to pick it twice makes for a particularly nasty lock.

[@peytonnorris7244]

Cool... Bro my commando is serial number 0140 and yours is 0137 small world ...or small community lol

[@markg6914]

These are easy to rake

[@tinfoilushanka3652]

There's a *major* problem with this & other Commando locks that isn't mentioned here: they have soft brass keyways & no anti-drill protection. These could easily be defeated with cordless drill. I emailed Patrick Smith just asking if they have these basic security features and he essentially said: "no, not at this time". So much for soliciting input from the picking community. Id stay away from this for now. Better off with an Abus for the same amt of money.

[@omniryx1]

Yeah, if you see a shady looking individual headed for your storage shed whilst carrying a cordless drill, you'd better worry.

[@justinross1927]

Easy pick

[@djjllbc]

Weak lock! You picked it so easily

[@StephenCole1916]

If it's good enough for @LockPickingLawyer, it's good enough for me!
