(1566) Review: Master Lock 8220D Bike Lock (JUNK!)

[@jaynnnewell4722]

For a master lock combination lock this seems relatively hard to decode.

[@joefreer]

Right?? Usually they just stare at it and it opens. This is probably their toughest lock yet!

[@andrijacvjetkovic4662]

How you have 15h ago

[@claudiodiaz9752]

Thought the same

[@rileyfenley522]

Andrija Cvjetkovic channel members & patreons get access the day before on Saturday reviews.

[@doublejaylar]

Any bike lock with a rubber coated cable that I've ever encountered, can easily be cut using a cheap hatchet & a couple of good whacks. Many trespassing hunters have used them to "secure" their stands to trees on our property. Those cables are very weak!

[@JasperJanssen]

They’re not so much weak as not *that* strong. They’re appropriately strong for the purpose, though.

[@ThePSPJesus]

If you have some ass behind you and a strong lever you can twist these till failure but depending on what its locking up you will likely cause damage.

[@JasperJanssen]

James High I mean, look at that locking pin. Breaking that off will not take that much.

[@hatchpack9909]

I remember when I was in 4th grade unlocking bike locks by pulling on them and turning the knobs. Even as kid I thought they where too easy to open.

[@OcRefrig]

me too

[@joefreer]

BB: "maybe I'd consider it for a minute to get a coffee" Master Lock executives: "victory!!! Yesssss!!!!'

[@ganeshh6378]

I love how in every video there is just a new random bandage/wound on bill's hands

[@claudiodiaz9752]

This is called a man's hand.

[@thekiltedkimchi]

This worked great. Wheels were all stiff and initially not a lot of room for the screwdriver, but got it decoded in about 10 minutes with some trial and error. Thanks!

[@RAkers-tu1ey]

Did anyone else predict "RIDER" was the combo after he got the 2 R's ?

[@lightdark00]

Exactly, I was like nooooo, not all Rs, rider!

[@arturraimundo7158]

At 4:05 I read"RIDE_" and went: No! I can't believe it's going to be RIDER!

[@tanalee229]

Yup! I thought he was going to get it, but he was focused on the process. I noticed later that the cardboard says "Word combo".

[@nathangrange8473]

Yup. Inherent problem with letter combos I guess - people will tend to use words...

[@penfold7800]

Yep

[@JasonOlshefsky]

I had an older but similar one whose combination reset itself, presumably when I locked it up. Of course it was in winter at night, so that was fun to come back to. I fiddled with it for 5 minutes trying to tug-pick it to no avail (and of course nobody said anything nor called the cops, so thank you fellow residents for your concern). I resorted to grabbing the lock body with Leatherman tool pliers and twisting the other end hard. The lock body insert was made of cheap metal and it broke so easily, I wondered if I even needed the pliers.

[@davidtorresocana]

May I suggest something? It takes me around 30 seconds to open a similar lock. In this kind of mechanisms, you may find the discs can move sidewise (towards the end that opens or where the biggest gap is) when they are in the true gate. Discs are under spring tension. So: Start with the disc closest to the opening side trying every letter and pulling it towards the opening side until you find it moves. Continue with the rest of the discs and you will find that, on the last disc, the entire stack moves and the lock is open Good channel. Keep up the good work

[@bengroves2502]

This worked perfectly for me on the lock featured in the video. Way easier than the method shown.

[@TheGeezzer]

Just code in the word "TRASH" should open it every time!😀😆😁

[@penfold7800]

Haha. ...or CUTME. lol.x

[@turmat01]

2 minutes for Bill to open a MasterLock? Thats the best lock Master Lock has EVER done for sure!!!

[@perolozac01]

Hmm, bandaid between thumb and index. Looks like you tried the screwdriver method already. :)

[@johnfrancisdoe1563]

Went to a shop for tools. Their rack of locks was 100% Master. Competing chain has wider selection of lock brands and more tools, but it wasn't on my route.

[@penfold7800]

I can decide these with just my hands. It's all a case of holding it in a way to tension it horizontally by pushing away from you instead of towards you. Once you've picked the first binder, the tip of your right thumb fits in the gap and you can feel the movement as you get to each gate.

[@milksheihk]

I was looking at it as a word puzzle, I got Rider just based on 5 letters beginning & ending in R.

[@user-rw3qq2sr1z]

Bill, could it be picked by using a pick knife netween the dials like you always do?

[@bosnianbill]

No, not this model.

[@warmike]

@@bosnianbill so why is this a garbage lock? Because it can be cut easily? That decoding would probably take a skilled thief.

[@legendy.9822]

bill, i’ve got this lock... i’m trying your method, but when i apply tension using the screwdriver, it is entirely impossible to move the wheels... i would love some help!

[@kurtsteiner1704]

Same! My kid changed the combo and doesn't remember so I tried using this method for the past 3 hours and have gotten nowhere.

[@ArtVanAuggie]

Please show the Master Titanium 2050 Combination lock. Not too sure how to decode it.

[@billhenderson731]

Well explained as usual, pointing out the inherent weakness of this type of lock. Only good if you can keep an eye on your bike while buying the coffee.

[@853pipelife]

Hey bill, im an amateur lock picker, as in i started with a set from Amazon two months ago, today i picked up some old cisa locks, one is the size of large pack of smokes. Was wondering if you be interested in picking them.

[@bruth3659]

Hi Bill, can you do a test of heating a hardened shackle red hot and letting it cool slow to see if it softens the steel? Try cutting it to see?

[@chrisjlocke]

Just a noob question, so apologies. Can you only find the combination by going on 'binding order' (as shown), or can you create the tension and just go through dial 1, then dial 2, then dial 3, etc. Is finding the binding order important, or just speeds up the process?

[@medwardl]

Is it bad that the first thing I think when I see master lock in the title of the video it's "this should be good for a laugh"

[@bradw0535]

Seems like more of the same old same from masterlock, thanks Bill!

[@michaelking3327]

i used to work at a bicycle shop until the owner died, he was very old and wise. but we had to remove many locks like these and i usually had them open in about 15 seconds

[@willclayton9909]

what brand of screwdrivers do you use

[@kingbela88]

They’re made by Wera. Pretty good quality tools from 🇩🇪

[@jukka-pekkatuominen4540]

I have that exact lock on my bike (not the only lock fortunately). It's a different brank, but at least I think it is the exact same. I can recognise the lockwork.

[@idkidk4334]

"MASTERSUX" -Paclock

[@dextrodemon]

wow thanks, i've had a lock like this on my bike for like a decade (not made by masterlock) which i could never find out a way to tension, openned it up in 30 seconds after watching video. not a word lock though just 4 digits

good vid. those locks have not changed in 40 years. same style. same pull to bind & open. 🤦‍♂️

[@johnmorgan1629]

04:50 If you hadn't spun the wheels, you probably would have had it in a second or two at that point.

[@TheUniquePlumberman]

Hey Bill, slightly unrelated to this video. It says I'm a member but I never got a early notice of this video. Shows my perks & all. But my payment info changed and I can't correct it here nor PM you this quandary. Great video though. 😓

[@Kraken1000]

[@annando]

Since you don't give away this lock, can you perform some destructive tests against it?

[@VacFink]

I wonder what the instance count of Master Lock + Junk is on KZbin? I'm betting its in line with the instance count of videos that start with 'Hey Guys' or "Let's Get Started"

[@chriscurwick]

I use a kryptonite kryptolok series 2 chain lock for my bike

[@realname3538]

2 chains

[@penfold7800]

...it's not just Master lock. ...Kryptonite make these too. Probably from the same factory. tbh, the only Masterlock security device I have that I consider pretty good is Thier Hardened steel square link security chain. Surprisingly, it actually is what it says.

[@SpamMouse]

Depending on if you get lucky with first or last letters that bind just guess the word - RIDER would have been an easy guess, but probably factory in your case.

[@derekdaggy3704]

Seems like it would be a bit faster to to cut the damn thing. But good job on it. Always love learning something new from you.

[@tanalee229]

What did you do to your hands, Bill? : (

[@lmars5933]

I NEAVER miss a video 😎

[@_BangDroid_]

The whole point of word locks like this is that random numbers are hard to remember, and words are a bit easier. Really, you could determine what words are possible on this lock (like RIDER) and try them all and you'll probably find it opens. If someone uses a random string of letters, they may as well buy the numeric version

[@MrSonny6155]

Using such a large screwdriver is rather cumbersome and much less inconspicuous than you could be. I suggest a smaller, shorter screwdriver. You can easily get shorter screwdrivers at the same thickness, would also make it easier to control and less likely to slip and stab yourself. Actually, the ideal case might be a simple "jacking" tool. Something like a reverse binder clip...

[@YoutubeAdministrator]

The box says "tough under fire" so i guess the problem is that you decoded it while not having it set on fire.

[@tisim_sys]

Do you ship to new zealand

[@ljt47exploring64]

Why do people think putting letters on them are going to make a difference to the shit security

Its always good to see cheap crap locks being demonstrated on channels like this because people will see it (particularly if they google for the lock they are thinking of buying and the video pops up) and hopefully people who see it will then decide not to buy the cheap crap lock.

Entering for sure

[@Brett_S_420]

Shoot, Bill! I'll take the Master word-combo to put something on my mower!

[@thedudeprime4677]

Just before he moved all of the letters to R he almost solved the entire thing on accident, at 4:18 if he didn't move the E he would've had it lmao

[@arifhossain9751]

I mean... It's a Master lock... what else should we expect at this point?

[@greenm37]

i did not realize how easy master locks can be picked

Probably their most time consuming lock to pick or decode honestly... not saying much, but this is surprisingly less garbage than most of their stuff.

Thumbs up and subscribed!

[@bbotelhoHI]

I can attest to the crap quality of this lock. Used it when I was at MCAS Yuma and there was so much slip in the locking bar.

[@soulzzplaysgames]

Naaah, I hoped it would open on 'RILEY'...

[@xoniq-vr]

I Feld it should be 'RIDER" already since it had 'RIDE' for a moment and it started with a R and ended with a R.

[@donm575]

Wow, what a junk lock...thanks for the heads up!

[@BD90..]

Still quicker to snip the cable. Avoid cable locks

[@kinyutaka]

I figured it was RIDER when the second R was found.

[@cravenmoorehead5636]

I knew with the 2 rs it was gonna be rider. Dam I'm good

[@gtbarsi1103]

2 minutes to pick, probably 3 seconds to cut with the correct tool.

[@macnutz4206]

Realistically that takes too long for a thief to ever use that method. It lacks discretion, as well. While the lock is junk, I think it is only as strong as that cable. I will never buy a bicycle lock without first looking for your review of said lock.

[@htmagic]

BosnianBill, this is a very nice giveaway! I hope I win this!

[@MikeKing001]

I'm going to offer some of what I feel is constructive criticism. While this lock probably does deserve a (junk) in the title Bill did a poor job of explaining why in the video. These types of reviewesce videos should probably assume that the person watching isn't knowledgeable about the product. Bill should probably explain that the chain is easily cut and that it is a known waypoint in this style of lock to those who may be unfamiliar with lock products.

[@MerkDolf]
