[135] Potti314's Abus Challenge Lock Picked and Gutted

[@Potti314]

Great picking. Haha, that was one of my first locks that I made - great to see it traveling. Would you be so kind to turn the one spool; I guess it was put in upside down accidentally? Thank you.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Potti314 Thanks… and I’ll definitely turn the spool over before passing it on. I wasn’t sure if that was intentional or not, just to mix things up. Nice job on the lock.

Very nice work, that number 3 is very fine work. Thanks for making this lock it was cool seeing how your work on the pins effected the picking.

[@TallanPick]

Great parcel from Adrian, and great picking and gutting. Beautiful Michaels pins there. Thanks for sharing ;-)))

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Tallan Pick Yup, this was a very nice package!

I'm amazed that the current followers of LPL don't go back to many of his older videos, they're still a delight to watch and listen to. Even back in 2016, LPL made short work of some lovely pins and varied springs.

i started picking 3 days ago and today i unlocked the same lock. I was so Amazongly proud of myself, that i got in in 40 minutes. Than i searched for a unlock video of this Lock, found yours and now i can just say i am a bit slow :D

[@asdfkoas]

Very nice package. I recognise some of those locks. Good luck with the DOM, but you'll probably pick it open with a toothpick ;) The Mul-T-Lock is a bit tricky, originally sent to me from Bill, now all the way back on the east coast.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+asdfkoas Thanks. I’ll have to give the MTL a close look soon. That’s funny that it came from Bill. I was actually wondering about that, because KIK cylinders don’t seem to be that common on your side of the Atlantic. So it seems that after a little European vacation, the lock has come home. And not just to the east coast… to the same city! Bill and I are both right outside of Washington DC.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+asdfkoas I was planning on saving it for later, but after this comment, I had to check out the MTL last night. The serrated drivers aren't too bad. If you crank up the tension, the sound of the outer pins setting is so different from the sound of a serration, that your "sound feedback" serves as a very helpful guide. I'll post the video from last night later today.

What is the purpose for the threading in the slots of the spool

[@k9black]

Can't believe you don't have more subs! You remind me a lot of BosnianBill. Maybe look into doing a series of vids concerning the use/practicailty of various picks along with examples. I see you often use Peterson picks, do you use any others?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+k9black Thanks... I take that as a high complement because he's pretty much the MAN when it comes to YT pickers. I've been considering a video of what picks I use, but have struggling to find a way to make it more than a "look what I have" sort of video. I'll give your suggestion some consideration. As for other picks I use... my pick case has Peterson, Sparrows, Mad Bob, USALockPick, Goso, Spooxe, and others.

[@joefield6380]

I have an ABUS $35.00 heavy bad boy, is there any lock that is un-pickable?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+JOE FIELD "Unpickable"? Probably not. But there are many locks that haven't been picked yet! Take a look at the Abloy Protec2. Thanks for watching.

[@lukeb6394]

what's the dead mail center?? potti sent me a package almost two months ago and I still haven't gotten it so I'm wondering if it might be there?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Lukes Locks If it's there, you have little way of knowing. That's where mail goes when both the sender and recipient information is so damaged/incomplete that the USPS has no idea what to do with it. At the center, they open the mail, and see if they can figure out where it should go based on the contents. If not, it goes to the same warehouse that houses the Ark of the Covenant, as seen in Indiana Jones. :-) The only reason I know mine is there is because the tracking number was intact (but the addresses were not). I have a claim in for the package, but the package was mailed 5 months ago... there is little hope.

[@lukeb6394]

+LockPickingLawyer damn well good luck with the claim I hope you get it back!! :)

[@mupisaid6910]

How do I convince someone to send me a care package of locks ?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Mup I said You reap what you sow... Sow: kzbin.info/www/bejne/on6pq4x5ZryrmqM Reap: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGfMlGylbtOGfcU

[@mupisaid6910]

+LockPickingLawyer I have some to trade but I don't think they would be up to your skill level 😂😂

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Mup I said I’m always up for challenge locks, if you are up for making them! Also, I like to feature unusual locks (in addition to the tricky ones), so I’m always open to them. PM me if you want to send some locks to me, and I’ll send some back your way. That’s usually easier than figuring out a formal trade, and I’ve never had anyone complain about my packages.
