(1471) Review: Mini-Electric Pick (UT-PL-1)

[@petro45acp69]

Might be able to swap the pick gun end for end, shave the foam so the tip can fit into the space next to the handle. Good video as always sir.

[@ReneRodriguez-uh3ew]

Spend a little extra and get the Multipick Kronos. I’ve been using it for a few months and is worth the extra money

[@MisterGank]

Thank you for taking the time to review this product! It was exactly the video I was searching for! Great details and great info! Keep up the great work!

[@madpom2]

You saved my morning I’m in New Zealand and could not find anything to watch but there you are well done and thank you sir

[@OneIroNauT_1]

Thanks for the review Bill

[@tariklock6048]

$169.00 for a chinese multipick mhp 2 clone is way too much!! i wouldn't have spent more than 50 bucks for it. well, this time you really fell into it, to let brockhage pinch your wallet :-)

[@CaptainHookNumber1]

Absolutely! Especially with the Kronos at about the same price XD

[@uklockpickers]

Depends we’re you shop we can find it at $90 ish dollars Still doesn’t make it any better tho

[@jmr]

I recognize the charger. They work but the bean counters got you there too!

[@tonyholt90]

Cool demo !

[@zachhendershot8565]

I'm interested in buying one of these electric lock picks, but I'm having problems finding a video that properly demonstrates their effectiveness over a larger variety of less to more secure cores. From the m1 keyway, through the m27, and the m25, into Kwikset, titans, schlage 5 pin, and 6 pin. into the American AM1/AM2 blanks in variety of different bittings. I'm also interested in a combination picking techniques with these, say a C123 keyway, using the electric pick to pick the top pins, hitting the bottom detent, and going back up to the top pins. Love your Videos and production quality. keep up the good work

[@LogicBob]

Bill, can you recommend a padlock to go on my Pelican case when flying with my firearms? It can take a 5/16" shackle. Thanks in advance!

[@bird718]

master lock #3 or any cheapo lock and bring a few, the TSA will cut your lock and replace it with zip ties or TSA junk. bring your picks and a knife in a seperate bag so you can open the replacement TSA lock,

[@LogicBob]

@@bird718 Thank you! Good advice. I know all that. I have been using the Abus Titalium 64Ti/40 for years, but I would love something that is harder for them to cut, if possible. I should have been more specific.

[@bird718]

@@LogicBob you want to use Shrouded american locks, abus etc...from any respectable company. the biggest one you can find that fits your pelican case. not sure what size case your using but i do know the smaller ones only accept padlocks of specific dimensions. if you can use two Shrouded american locks they will be cursing you while using the grinder on your locks.

[@bird718]

@@LogicBob btw finding a Shrouded padlock that works might only be possible for the very large pelican cases. the Master Lock 6321 has the 5/16th shackle. but depending on your case size it might be unacceptable. discus might work for you, abus with the plus core. if you dont mind the way they look and stick out.

[@jmr]

Have you watched "Packing the friendly skies"? Good talk about flying with firearms.

[@RoeLunatic4ever]

YES!!!! Start-of-weekend-clip...Nice!

[@Mex_the_Fox]

Please Bill test the genuine Multipick MHP II Plus! 😋

[@bosnianbill]

I would LOVE to do a review on it and get a LOT of requests to do so. Unfortunately, I don't have $600 or $700 sitting around to spend on one. I have tried one briefly while visiting family in Germany and they work really well, but I only played with it for a few minutes, which isn't enough time to do a full review. And no, the owner would NOT loan it to me...😀

[@Mex_the_Fox]

Bosnianbill I wanna see it in comparison with the chronos! If it's better or more powerful... Can't imagine that someone wouldn't loan you something! 😊

[@bz9363]

whats the purpose of the rubber bands on your tension wrenches?

[@WilliamMancel]

Just the tip. That's all I'm putting in. Sorry my mind is in the gutter. Great technique.

[@mgoncpr1]

Nothin bad ever happened from just the tip... Right... ;~{

[@chrisflynn372]

And only for a minute...

[@lockpickingbelfast]

I'll just leave this here, AV

[@kovuk9]

Question sir, instead of a flat blade for picking with a EPG, how do you think a "City Rake" type of blade would work? I mean wouldn't it be doing the same thing as by hand only a lot faster with the gun?

[@user-rw3qq2sr1z]

Basically most electric lockpicking guns do the same thing. Sooo a much cheaper one that has the basic principles would also do the job . . ....$169 Whoa 😲😳😵

[@bloggs692413]

Nice idea on changin angle

[@NothingPicksLocks]

Bill what if you were to change up the foam a bit and store the pick with the tip facing the handle you may be able to fit it besides the handle

[@user-rw3qq2sr1z]

Nice review, Bill !!

[@johncuzzourt2118]

$169 is insane for that! The Ultrafire battery and crap charger that it ships with is clue #1. I'd love to see a teardown of it. The internal mechanical construction is undoubtedly low-quality disposable electric-toothbrush tech. I just suspect that if you are a professional and use this often, there's a good chance it will wear out or break within 6 months. I won't be surprised to see similar gadgets selling for much less. It there were as much demand for them as for, say, flashlights, they'd be under $20 from China on Banggood. (Thanks for the review and demo, as always though!)

[@Micko350]

In my experience with those Ultrafire Batteries, if you ignore the first digit the remainder is closer to the actual rating. I have those exact batteries I use in torches & they last around half of my 1500mah Samsung (so around the 800mah)

[@iggymac3473]

great video. thanks bill

[@darkapocalyptica]

We need a lock race with you and LPL like 5 locks and who ever finishes first wins.

[@darkapocalyptica]

I just want more content with both of you together

[@OLLE3770]

So compared to the Kronos from Multipick? (For European customers? ) I'm not a professional really and I like to pick for the fun of it and these gadgets sort of forfeits my purpose. Nevertheless, this whole comment is stupidly useless but Multipick has released an "Electric Tensioner" - any comment on that gadget. Really expensive but is it useful? Think not for the Lock Sport community, but does it work?

[@bosnianbill]

I've had a few requests to test that electric tensioner but the price they're asking is astronomical. Also, it appears to only work on Euro locks in certain situations (no obstructions from door frames or knobs). If I hit the lottery maybe I'll splurge for one. Until then.... we'll just have to remain in the dark. Sorry.

[@derekbroestler7687]

I don't know about the electric tensioner either, even working as a locksmith it's too much money IMO... and I DID shell out the cash for the Kronos and I'm happy with it.... TYPICALLY, whenever I use any sort of pick gun (snap or electric) I use a ring tensioner with the longest straight needle available for that pick gun... If I'm using a pick gun, I'm either looking for the best chance for a fast unlock, (like when I'm doing an unlock for the police for an eviction or welfare check in) or when I've tried and failed to pick a lock that's not so paracentric to eliminate the use of a pick gun, but that doesn't like to be bumped, and I just want to be done with it so I can move on (such as a newer Sargent LA keyway where the tolerances are still really tight, especially if I suspect a lot of highs and lows) Multipick makes a ring style tensioner and I have no doubt it's excellent but I got mine from Sparrows for less than half the price and it works just fine, I'm sure there are others that are cheaper than Multipick that work just as well.

[@OLLE3770]

​@@derekbroestler7687 Good info. Really. I don't do this to earn a living. I just want to separate bad locks from not so bad locks and for the fun of it. Like a Puzzle. If I can open it - it's a bad lock, If I can't open it - don't really know. Probably a bad lock anyway and I don't have the skills or the imagination to attack it.

[@jcprov9481]

@Herbert Wingfield ...stay safe. And, stay legal. 😎

[@wanmarwany4117]

Where you buy

[@ridhoalvendri9881]

How i can buy this sir?

[@nrowlett]

This is my complaint in general for pick guns, or electric picks. They don't accommodate storage WITH the tips attached. WHY?! It could have been so easy... Some are easier than others to put in. Sign me up for an electro pick! I'd like to have a chuckle with one some day. 😅 🚫 Never trust any lithium ion rechargeable battery with the word "fire" on it. Buy from very reputable sources, make sure they're real, and the mAh matches the battery. In about 6 years of buying these, I've only had ONE fake that made it though. The vendor I bought it from became aware of some really good fakes, coming from just one box they had in. They replaced it no questions asked. Always... ALWAYS store your lithium ion batteries in a battery box. Any nicks in the wrap will cause hellfire. 📋 -That's always been my rules, never failed me yet. I think I own more and more devices with flat top 18650 & 26650 batteries now. Rather than always eating up AA, or C, or D batteries. Thanks for the review. Stay awesome! 👍

[@BD90..]

My klom pick gun can fit in it's case with the needle on.

[@AdMan-The-LabRat]

Consider: Quickly 86 the Ultrafiar's Non-*UL Battery Charger (Alleged Fire Hazard), just saying. We own eight UltraFire 18650 Batteries and four of those "Handy" portable battery charger and all four from distinct vendors, something kluge about them Craptastically-Creepy, Cheap, Chinese Chargers (*Underwriters Laboratory). Great Review Thanks!

[@demonknight7965]

have you tried the electric toothbrush idea?

[@lockpickingbelfast]

Leaves me wondering if it has reverse battery protection or is it scrap if I accidentally put the battery in upside down? Also I noticed the cheap Chinese battery was a button nose ( making it a little longer maybe) had it any problems with Panasonic battery moving about inside, or was it also a button nosed battery. Them lithium batterys can be nasty lol battery safety is a must. Good looking tool tho, looks a little weaker than the South Ord mini Jmmurdy showed last night.

[@davidworsley7969]

It would be interesting to see Big Clive's verdict on the battery (don't expect to get it back whole though!)

[@bosnianbill]

I learned all I need to know about that crappy battery.... I can't believe they actually included it in the kit as it degrades the perfromance of their product. I'm guessing they didn't even try it out before buying them. It was like: "cheap 18650 battery?...Check!"

[@jmr]

I don't need Big Clive either. I recognize that terrible battery. I have a few and I only use Panasonic or JBL when I need good lithium ion batteries.

[@davidworsley7969]

@@jmr You're missing the point-obviously the battery is crap but I would like to know exactly how exaggerated it's claimed power is.

[@jmr]

@@davidworsley7969 I get it. Big Clive does some good testing and I'm a little curious about the actual number myself. I was just commenting on it's craptastitude and the fact it's not that unusual. I have a charger / tester I use for that. It runs the battery through a cycle to determine capacity. I then mark each battery with the mah. Amazingly I've had batteries with those type of claims that actually were just under 500mah.

[@VintageGamer70]

Great video

[@gordonwiessner6327]

Rechargeable 9 volt to cut down on length and width. A spring collet design to hold pick. Pick carrying pouch on handle.

[@CheZfrmdaWestWisc]

If bean counters going to short change something we want it to be the removable battery not something more important.

[@g.h.190]

It do looks like they understand those 9900 mAh batteries are fake, but still went for a very cheap battery+charger combo (with an almost realistic rating) from ebay to add to the pick.

[@taylorchapman7015]

I like the color combo on this black and red. But i think i still would go for the multipick electric pick IMO.

[@aliasfakename8076]

Are there any master locks that arent crap?

[@fl106c]

Nice review.

[@satan3090]

I would love to use this it would come in handy as a fire fighter all the times ive needed to get into something on the truck or at a scene and instead of cutting the lock this seems easier but I can't afford one.

When I press the pick in the lock do I do it right above the mother fucking tensioner or at the very fucking tip of the lock somebody please?

[@Ghost_Os]

Never used pick guns, never much liked the idea... Seems like feedback would be nil... But I guess that's the point, very little skill required, just fluctuate between light and moderate tension? Or do you somehow still get decent feedback?

Buy only Sony, LG or Panasonic(eneloop) batteries. Those are the only 18650 manufacturers. You can try Efest but they are hit or miss.

169 dollars for a 20 pick on Alibaba lol they can keep that I'll go straight to the supplier

Best and cheapest 18650 are available in your local vape shop. Most all vape mods use those batteries and there always in stock and cheap.

Now the criminals will have more desire to use this instead of a drill since they want to use the fastest method to get in.

[@turn-a-keylocksmith4411]

Seems cheaply made to me, snap guns seem more efficient and effective. Also I hate how you can’t store it in the case with the needle already attached. As a locksmith I don’t want to keep setting up my tools for each use multiple time a day

Yes, its a copy of the MHP 2, that's one of the reason Multipick came out with the Kronos which is in my opinion superior and made in Germany.

[@harrickvharrick3957]

Charger is rubbish too, got nothing inside it but the most rudimentary of parts. Can't regulate and curb the voltage, let alone that it'd stop its charging (process) when your battery is full. It will immediately start reducing the power of your battery and will destroy it in no time. Also its inner workings get so hot it will stop functioning altogether after max a few dozen times (though that might suffice for a lifetime with this tool) and the parts that must go in the wall socket are unsafe, untested and I guess illegal. Don't use it, but replace it at the same time as you start using a better battery, it would make no sense to get that better part only to destroy it with that rambling little ehrm, thing
