(1685) Using ThePickThatLPL&IMade

[@RowToney]

Happy retirement, Bill. The knowledge you shared through your channel is immeasurable.

[@snowblood82]

Hearing you explain it and visualizing what's happening inside, there's no small amount of skill involved. And then making a tool that gets picked up for commercial use, well done indeed sir!

You're absolutely right, this has to be a different pick.

It's a Sasquatch tool I heard a lot about it , seen a couple videos but I don't think it's real.

Bill, it's been a while since I picked a lock. Well... long story short here I am again and just realized that you have retired. Thank you sir, for the years of experience and education you have provided via KZbin.

[@DonzLockz]

Great they are finally released. Now everyone can say, "I'm gonna pick this lock with the pick that Bosnian Bill & LPL made". Lol. I will try to get one on the next batch.👍👍👍

[@mrdarn]

you would think so, but they are sold out, and pre-order is $1,000,000.00

[@KeylessEntry]

Don'z Lockz Yeah it's been a long time coming. Imagine every video using this tool actually says that though😂 They did sell out pretty quick but I think I might wait for some more review vids as I have the Black Flags😬

[@GreyHazRoot]

@@KeylessEntry same here. Sparrows made me nervous of their new stuff after the Black Flags

[@KeylessEntry]

Grey HazRoot I'd have to agree

[@DonzLockz]

@@KeylessEntry yup, the black flag set should be removed from sale. I think the DD pick has the quality as it needs to be very precise and BB & LPL were overseeing it with progress input. The black flag set looks the part but the steel is worse than chinesium. We see ppl hocking off the black flags in giveaways. Lol

[@chamberashes3128]

I got my pick this week. I am over the moon! So excited Sadly, there is a colossal failure I've noticed. Quick spoiler, at the end of the day I still absolutely love this tool and would have bought more of it wasn't a limit one per customer. The failure I ran into is the tensioning prongs are too short for some locks with an anti drill collar. They chew up the edges of the first disk because they dont sit propper center on the first disk. It is possible I am doing something wrong and an open to any advice from other users. Any lock without that anti drill collar obviously does not have any issue. The trickiest part of picking is keeping tention torque perfectly aligned so the tip spins true. Lastly the tip may be tight in the key way. that's not really a problem. Just an observation. I plan to modify my tool to address the short prongs. Probably a terrible idea but I plan to buy a second one when they come back in stock and the tool now, with its short prongs, is useless on locks with fat anti drill collars. The good news. This tool is absolutely incredible! Being able to adjust the tool during set up makes picking easier is a huge plus. The lines on the handle takes some of the guess work out with some practice. I have a few personal tricks I want to try with some outside accessories in hopes to make picking easier. Thank you LpL and BB for this great tool, oh ya, and sparrows for manufacturing.

[@mikeyfloden2266]

I have practiced so many pin and tumbler locks and have 1 "training" lock that's a disc detainer core that I have been waiting months to try and pick. I have waited since I saw the first prototype you guys made and decided not to buy a cheap knock off. I can not wait to get my hands on one and try. So happy Sparrows picked it up and started producing them! I hope they are back on stock soon.

Hi Bill, got mine through this week, but both tips were spinning before I even got it into a lock :( just from very light finger pressure. On close inspection I i could only see a hairs-width of weld between the tip and the rod at 2-points, and it just seemed to be mostly friction-fit.... I'll silver-solder them back on, but assuming I just got bad couple from a friday-evening batch.... It is otherwise a beautifully made (and designed) piece of kit!!, and I certainly wouldn't want to put anyone off it!!

[@The_Doc_Rocks]

@Bosnianbill - I have a general question, relevant to this video but mainly relevant for newish lock pickers everywhere. Without having to search the Internet every time, how does one know what type of lock we're faced with if confronted with an unknown lock? Pin tumbler, dimple, disc detainer, etc etc - with so many makes and model numbers out there, do we have to just learn them, or is there a way to tell? This happened to me when we lost the key to the padlock on an old garden shed, and I said "Oh, no problem, I'll just pick it". It took an hour of stuffing around, using every pick in the bag, and I still had no idea what type of lock it was. Then my wife came out and said "Is this the key?" It was on an old key ring of spare keys and it worked...!! So how do we know? How can we tell? Are there any clues to look for? By the way, the garden shed padlock was an unnamed brand that was some weird pin tumbler/dimple hybrid I think - the key had bitting on the top edge but also dimples on both sides.

[@bosnianbill]

Pete, as you gain a little experience and familiarity with locks you will find it easy to determine what kind of lock you are facing. Pin tumblers and disc detainers are quite different in appearance, as are dimple locks. Soon, with a short glance, you will know what kind of lock it is and that will determine which pick to use.

[@The_Doc_Rocks]

@@bosnianbill Thanks for the reply. I thought as much :) So I'll just keep watching your and LPL's videos :)

[@Lakoda26]

Great advise Bill, thanks!!!

[@twjohnson1203]

I noticed at the Lock Picking Lawyer's channel this notable pick is known as The Pick that Bosnian Bill and I Made. I’ve been thinking, when these picks become more numerous what if they decide to split up and choose sides? It could be disastrous! Can you imagine thousands of these picks fighting to see which one gets to pick the next lock? What if they decided they wanted independence? Or, heaven forbid they just don’t like each other? Other picks could start joining one side or the other it could mean all out war! No wonder that company wants a million dollars!

[@thumperlockpicking9269]

Very, very helpful

[@KeylessEntry]

Great video on showing the pick in action and explaining it's features👌 I would of liked the tip been made from a single piece for more strength and durability. I wonder if Sparrows are going to sell extra tips as there are various keyways. Now get to work on a non front disk tensioning version lol.

[@jamesfair9751]

They designed this one to fit 99% of locks

[@KeylessEntry]

Janes Fair But 99% of DD locks don't tension from the front, only 99% of the cheap low security locks. I have quite a few locks that tension from the rear disk or a random mid disk like the Abus 88/50 plus and countless others. I had to heavily modify a cheap Chinese DD pick, the one with the blue handle, to pick them. The Sparrows DD pick will only pick front disc tensioning DD locks.

[@jamesfair9751]

Keyless Entry I know and you can tension from other disc with this tool it’s not just for front tension

[@KeylessEntry]

Janes Fair This tool's design is based on front tensioning and agree it can be used to tension from other discs but it's quite difficult especially with locks that have multiple false gates. That's why I have 2 very different DD picks. I would like to see BB or LPL open an Abloy Protec2 core with this tool without having a lot of trouble. All I'm saying in my original comment is it would be great to see a quality non front tensioning pick from Sparrows.

[@KeylessEntry]

Janes Fair How exactly would you go about tensioning and picking an Abus 88/50, maybe I've been doing it wrong this whole time.

[@AE31011]

How long is the font of the pick that you tension the lock wit? 5 mm or so? That is maybe a bit short for a lot of locks with a spinner in front of it. Or am i wrong?

[@OGSontar]

You and LPL should consider starting your own lock pick business.

[@Xabeno]

One other thing to understand with dd locks is that the first disc can sometimes need to be turned counterclockwise while tensioning from a zero cut disc to achieve an open.

[@joshuajohnson9237]

I was curious, when originally making this pick, did the inspiration come from the handle of an old school safety razor? I'm assuming you are familiar with those and I hope this question doesn't come off as stupid or anything.

Totally looks reminiscent of the old Gillette safety razor knurling.
