Absolutely.

Guessing most "novices" don't opt for a lishi if trying to quickly bypass a lock. Most novices with an angle grinder or bolt cutters could've opened this twice in the amount of time LPL did picking it.

[@TheJohnDorn]

[@bigdrako4499]

right. some of these videos the intro of the lock is longer then picking it

[@coredumperror]

Yeah, a 1-minute pick from one of the best pickers in the world, *with* a specialized tool, is the mark of a *good* lock. Not amazing, but certainly worth using.

[@TheMongooseOfDoom]

ABUS enthusiastically supports locksport, so they are good in my book.

[@ailivac]

The 83 series is more about rekeying capability and compatibility with door locks and other industry standard cylinders, not more exotic high-security cores. But the cores they make for them are much nicer than normal door locks or generic KiK cylinders (which they can also accept for using keyways Abus doesn't make. Oh and they have SFIC versions of several models too)

[@SuperAnatolli]

Looked demanding. No easy entry with that tool. It will not be easier with a traditional pick and turner. Especially not in the wild where can not chose the position. I would say this is more than enough pick-resistance for a real application. If someone realy want to pass, they will cut it.

[@Leslaron]

LPL said it himself at some point. Locks don't prevent entry. They delay it.

[@nervaaugustus7089]

@@Leslaron Which *can* be enough - assuming your picker isn't persistent and won't look for easier targets, or your security apparatus limits the amount of time a picker has before they're discovered and apprehended. This lock lasted a solid minute against an extremely-skilled lockpicker using exactly the correct tool for this lock under ideal conditions and no pressure - that's actually pretty damn good pick resistance.

[@no-jb5vu]

Nobody in the world would open a lock with a lockpick on the street, this is a hobby​@@nervaaugustus7089

Yes, cutting is the easy way in but also easily detectable. I suppose that is why the name “Covert Instruments” for the web site.

[@djbeste]

@@LeslaronWe had the police over at our house to see how secure it is and what we could improve. They said the same thing: If they want to get in, they find a way. The more you delay them, the higher their risk to be detected. Most let go after little time already.

[@mhfuzzball]

It was rated by Master Lock at security level 9, which means he'll probably need the comb pick rather than the wave rake.

[@3rdpig]

"Enough to stop novice pickers" seems to be pretty high praise.

[@UltraSuperDuperFreak]

Doesn matter if its a total beginner, aslong they seen this video and bought one of hes tools. He litterly sells and shows the means to do it fast and easy :P Not that i blame him. Others do the same , and before he did. But locks would be atleast safer if NONE sold tools like that for any to buy on the internet easily. But yes thief would still just make there own tools.

[@kabuto3907]

It‘s not sufficient to have that tool. It makes picking easier but it doesn’t turn a novice into an expert. A novice wouldn’t feel that pin dropping, especially if not at home in a quiet setting, get frustrated and give up.

[@madtabby66]

@@UltraSuperDuperFreak That’s not how real life works. You need physical skills.

[@generalyoda8325]

@@UltraSuperDuperFreak That is not exactly true, you would first need to actually learn how the tools and locks work. You would also need to be able to do it quickly and discretely because obviously anyone trying to pick a lock is suspicious. Not to mention that you would be in an environment that is likely busy so noise+distractions will make picking in the first place difficult. Unless the lock is Master lock in which case just punch it open ngl.

I doubt you find any recent Abus locks that would fall to a wave rake. They are not incompetent. Some of their stuff is for low security applications to be slightly cheaper, but in general they know how to make locks.

[@futeague]

I think its safe to say if the LPL has trouble getting a lock open, its probably a good lock

[@DakotaZ162]

Thats a huge compliment coming from LPL

[@thomashanby9844]

I love all the humble brags. "With loads of experience and this special tool I invented for this same kind of lock it wasn't all that difficult to pick." You're an expert, and a salesman (who does sell good products, to be fair.)

[@floopyboo]

1 minute with a specialised tool. Congratulations, Abus, y'all done well.

[@DAdamTrammell]

That lock deserved a proper picking. Those Lishi tools make it much easier. That said, the lock put up a good fight. Had to play whack-a-mole with 4 and 5.

[@SeventhSwell]

Yeah, I'm always a little bit disappointed when the Lishis come out. I mean, I know it still takes a lot of skill, I know I couldn't pick it even with a Lishi tool, but I just enjoy videos more when he gets in there with a pick, you know?

[@timothyquinn4919]

The lishi helps the viewer see what is going on inside the pin stack. Like shaggy lpl only used like two percent of his power.

[@robertfarr9186]
