(1758) Review: Ultimate Opening Kit (James Bond Stuff!)

[@firepicker5174]

As a firefighter, it would help me a lot, very nice explanation Bill!, like always! You are my teacher

[@brian9731]

I have worked in electronic security all my career and there is always a play-off between keeping unwanted persons out and allowing those inside to get out in the event of an emergency. There always has to be a green emergency release break glass unit on the inside to cut power to fail-unlocked (power to lock) locks unless there is mechanical egress. As it happens we are buying a new door for our own house right now. We are sticking with a mechanical lock (no electrical operation). I have insisted on a double ended key cylinder, not one with a thumb turn on the inside because a burglar could break the toughened glass panel and just reach in and turn the thumb turn otherwise. As this is a safety risk in the event of fire, I have a key for the current door and will get one for the new door in a "break glass to obtain key" box in the cupboard by the front door. You have the additional consideration of being able to get IN in an emergency without doing too much damage and I see where you're coming from that this kit would be useful to you. If I am designing a system I have often specified an override secure keyswitch somewhere hidden on the outside to break power in case of system malfunction and the lock staying locked, especially if the control equipment is behind that door inside the room, which is often the case with server rooms or plant rooms.

[@penfold7800]

Some of these less invasive methods are useful in a situation where sparks and heat need to be avoided. You can probably get a core puller tool and a core snapper tool on their own for less money. Although the door jam/bolt slips are incredibly useful too.

[@TheProfessor936]

There was one ecstatic and extremely lucky person out there that was fortunate to win this amazing box set.

[@MrLachlanmackenzie]

When just putting the screw in defeats the lock.

[@daveh7720]

I liked that little gesture just then. "Well, the lock's already borked, I might as well finish the job."

[@Dortchskii]

Yeah, i was like man...that lock and key both look so awesome shame its being destroyed.

[@joannapanikkou7886]

What a cracking kit.

[@PaulSteMarie]

Isn't there something in the Geneva Conventions about pulling the core our of a lock after it's surrendered and popped open?

[@ImGumbyDangit]

Very cool kit. I have the fire chief looking at a few videos and I think we are settled on the Bell. Still waiting to find out if they work on LFIC or SFIC.

[@dawsy20069]

Nice quality bit of kit by the looks of it.

[@joeemenaker]

The irony, here, is that Bill can pick any of those locks in less time than it takes for him to get the brute-force puller all ready.

[@zeroxavion]

This kit looks great for beginner locksmiths!

[@XxShantilisxX]

That's an amazing giveaway for an up and coming lock smith.

[@PjD-pk1fg]

Bill should send it to the Locksmith who said LPL was full of BS.He needs all the help he can get.

[@maxgarascia]

No doubt... I'll be the newbie with all the nice new tools If for once in my life I should get lucky in a contest .

[@pev_]

That "Mindy" lock at the end was too beautifully engraved to be brutalized! :)

[@Rawkus105]

Wow...What a set. Well put together, thought out and full of things you usually wouldnt pick up one by one

[@angryh0bb1t78]

It's nice to see the Kurtzy came in handy for something.

[@JoeHamelin]

Too cool. That's a hella give away, Bill.

[@KJohansson]

Just love the last one, Mindy that pop open with the screw alone. Sort of the reverse of the ASSA one.

[@rileyfenley522]

It seems like the company watched your channel and put the best from the last 6-12 months of Saturday reviews into it.

[@hyperfluff_folf]

Yup but thats actually a standard kit here in europe lol

[@scottyTy]

Very cool kit from Wendt!.

[@bradw0535]

Very generous giveaway Bill, thanks for the video as always!

[@John-lx8iu]

The Mindy cracked me up 🤣 Who knew a screw was the perfect key?

[@johndododoe1411]

Some euro cylinders have a cut to break in half with that tool, remaining locked. That's now a minimum in England where James Bond resides.

[@penfold7800]

If there aren't any steel pins in the core and they're all brass, the core puller will still defeat those locks.

[@JBNL1972]

"The toolkit that makes every lock an offer it can't refuse"

[@Aliyah_666]

Its like a lock destroying kit lol...

[@ddawg7567]

You know it's good quality from the packaging, looks awesome!

[@christopherstephens6317]

What an amazing kit and giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to win it....

[@kevinlu6596]

That's a pretty awesome set there. Didn't know tools like these existed.

[@hyperfluff_folf]

Standard for firefighters and such stuff, because they dont screw around with picks But on some newer doors, forced entry is not really an option so you gotta go for those locks

[@bla8881]

Great box!

[@maxy3868]

Ultimate indeed

[@ick5353]

That’s a great kit! I’ve never wanted to win a giveaway more than this one!!!

[@Leif_YT]

Looks like a great kit for fire departments or similar organisations

[@NothingPicksLocks]

13:00 new exploit for the Mindy LOL

[@tjthrash0143]

That last lock demo was funny. No need to pull the core... You looked like you had lots of fun doing that.

[@Codebreaker4981]

Great video Bill, thank you 👍

[@fox111qc]

Your music soundtrack went crazy at 8:30. Sound like 2 overlapping similar tracks.

[@Epicentr]

Just noticed your "safety" sign, @bosnianbill, hahaha!

[@Uniquettt]

My name is Bond ..For any locksmith a nice kitt ..but for this happy sport picker I'll save my money for a custom pick offset diamond pick but brilliant revue 💡👍👍👍👍🥃🍺🥂🌎 and demonstration of them all in action...🔐🔒🔓🔑

[@GrimElegance]

13:00 Oh, it popped open....I’m still pulling it...

[@DiustheZ]

I might have to get myself one of these as a birthday present.

[@dawolf7784]

After watching that video I was drooling , that box is truly the Master Key! You could open any lock with that box! Very cool Bill! I was really hoping you would of used one of those tools on that Abus Granite lock I left ! That would of been cool!

[@Vanta_Blue]

A Master Key befitting a Master Lock, right? Oh.. wait...

[@hyperfluff_folf]

@@Vanta_Blue yup i almost forgot that houskeeping has to get in somehow

[@amateurshooter6054]

Thanks Bill

[@LockpickingsGal]

Awesome review!!

[@yveslegh]

Nice to see all these things, so that means we can leave our doors open because it takes only a minute to take the lock out of the door!

[@Dostradamas]

Zowie! What a comprehensive kit. Droooooooooooolllllll.

[@khiggins7231]

Great video however the newer High Security Euro cylinders we have in Europe cannot be opened by the bell puller. Avocet ABS / Yale Dimple 3 star/ Avocet ATK etc

[@sebastiant9306]

Awesome kit

[@markgriggs2843]

Anyway we could see some of those door jam/latch/bolt tools in action?

[@spankysmp]

Wonder if you can use the self tapping screws again?

[@EdSileo]

From his recent review, that answer is, "Yes!".

[@danielbaugh3676]

That’s some serious kit

[@nicholasviney5975]

Wow what a giveaway, some lucky person is going to be very happy

[@bjornf.193]

What a kit!

[@Aceoffroad4x4]

That's a beautiful kit!

[@jamiehawthorne1]

Awesome review

[@ChurchOfThought]

That mindy padlock with the tiger was cute. Little sad to see it screwed 😂

[@OnTheRiver66]

Beautiful set of tools! What I expect from German engineering and workmanship.

[@MADMAX353]

Very cool stuff

[@saschaschneider6355]

Really nice set. I've seen that they sell a "pro" version of this which is roughly double the price. If you need to get into somewhere you can be sure to find a tool for it in these kits. Pretty impressive stuff

[@alexsomeing8192]

Does trademark mark ® was actually needed on a hand written piece? 05:20

[@bosnianbill]

No idea, Wendt sent that note in the kit. My guess would be no.

[@whatabouttheearth]

You forgot the shot gun and lock buster rounds 😄 theres a technique, we used to just blow the hinges off in the Marines for rapid surprise entry and do a blitz clear.

[@christopherstigson6377]

Best tool: homeostatic forcep. Great reach inside things. Can lovk it to hold things in place. Amazing tool even for locksmiths. Use it all the time. Also to test for example key card system N.O relays etc. Just short circuit with it. Recommend

[@RuneInternational]

in the pulling demo at the end, why didn't you use the magic bit holder provided in the kit. it locks the screw and bit perfectly together to make it easy to drive it in.

[@bosnianbill]

Because I'm lazy and stupid? Yeah, that's it.😀

[@novo1178]

Awesome giveaway, wow, Great review as well!! Please keep them coming!!!

[@roysammons2445]

Wendt really came up trump's with this one. A cracking kit but as always expensive. The positive side of that is it deters thrives from spending so much. The winner of this prize will be getting a bargain and a half. Great Review Bill 😁👍🏻

[@dverygrateful1]

A profession thief is not deterred by cost of tools. Seriously,think about it. Just like any professional you need what you need to get the job done.

[@neomeo1045]

hahaha, the mindy at the end

[@penfold7800]

So, what are the other four compartments in the case for?

[@huntsman0865]

Great review!

[@jinksonyou]

Wow bro, that was/is VERY impressive! I'm not only talking about the tools (love'm) but seeing you break those locks looked so easy lol! I've always been kinda obsessed with locks and how (in the movies) they all make it look so simply to pick! I just liked n subscribed, will do a binge of your vid's! After what I just seen here I KNOW I'm gunna enjoy most if not all and can't wait hahaha, cheers from Canada eh

[@drheaddamage]

I wonder how well those screws work if there's a spinner plate on top of the core...

[@mifferellis5578]

Awsome kit !!!

[@Sflboater100]

Great video

[@billhenderson731]

Excellent all round kit for the professional . And a kit that we mere mortals, would love to have; just for bragging rights. I want to break locks now 👍🤣

[@sportsfan205]

Nice set .

[@HOTA_CHATON]

Something that the average locksmith will never need.

[@mrfrenzy.]

Most locksmiths in Europe never pick a door lock, they always use tools like this. We don't have crappy locks on the doors :)

[@christopherstigson6377]

I've not even attempted to pick locks. ASSA, KABA, EVVA only in Sweden.

[@mrfrenzy.]

With the newest ASSA locks not even this pulling tool works, the core retainer is conical and jams in the cylinder. Drilling is your only option.

[@frozendude707]

I have got to say I love the dedication to destroy several locks to give the kit a proper test. 😎

[@micksbiggestfan4006]

It's worth noting the pliers are knipex. High end stuff

[@markgriggs2843]

I would like to see those tools versus some anti-snap and drill resistant locks. Would be interesting.

[@MrJools70]

Pricey but a great kit when other options are off the table :)

[@Genthar]

So, I'm sure I've just been oblivious, but, doesn't that core puller kind of destroy the whole "steel anti-drill pins" thing? I just realized that when he demonstrated this before, and on a couple of the cores he just pulled, there were anti-drill pins and steel pins visible, and yet those self-tapping screws just blew right through them...

[@Genthar]

Yes. I guess I wasn't clear. A lot of locks have steel "anti-drill" pins in various locations, yet your kit destroys them with equal ease. I was wondering if the anti-drill pins were really effective given how easily those screws went through them.

[@MichaelGilmet]

Is there a similar kit focused on US locks?

[@yourralf]

And then there are those videos you would love to like twice, but you can't

[@digger105337]

That " Mindy" lock is kinda pretty, in a yale/ towne kinda way.😜🔑

[@MrV1NC3N7V3G4]

Aren't members automatically entered in the giveaways? Seems like I read that somewhere. This is one I would really enjoy!

[@dverygrateful1]

I read that yesterday

[@LegoTux]

Impatiently waiting for the MacGyver Kit

[@rrrussell1009]

Website has that kit listed as “standard”. If this is standard, what would be deluxe?

[@robomoto5550]

Oh man i want that set.

[@joeynrg]

Awesome set, awesome review. I've entered the competition in a hope to win one. Cheers

[@Westhelockpicker]

One hell of a giveaway!!!!

[@gregk-muth8566]

Very cool

[@safe1968man]

What was missing from the bottom section upper left corner?

[@twjohnson1203]

As he leaves for work, the cat burglar's good wife waits by the door with his hat, coat and "briefcase".

[@OldieBugger]

How will that kit work on modern ABLOY locks?

[@bosnianbill]

Send me a couple and we'll find out!😀

[@zwz.zdenek]

I like how the Mindy lock gave up almost immediately.

[@bunyipdan]

Think I would have had a 5" cordless angle grinder and maybe some of LPL's favorite tools....ramset gun, exhaust separator clamp, and maybe a comprehensive pick set, if youre gonna call it the 'ultimate opening kit'

[@mrfluffytailthethird]

Also missing is C4 and battering ram 😸

[@NormanTheDormantDoormat]

And don't forget a quantum detonator 9000, for when you need to open the door to another dimension.

[@beardedmike9835]

What's missing from the top left corner of the bottom half of the case??

[@beardedmike9835]

@@Zieh-Fix why take the time to cut out the spot and not include the tool?

[@xXDeltaXxwhotookit]

So, this is what you do with some of those spare locks...

[@chilledoutpaul]

I Hope This Kit or even the separately sold parts/ tools are on restricted sale!

[@keith68]

Is their a us supplier?

[@mattwilliams4215]

Can we see you have a go with the NDE tools too Bill?

[@grumpygus81]

What a kit! 😲. I'm actually surprised that it's not a bit more $, that's a ton of really quality tools. I'd give my left ___ for it!

[@adammorris8112]

You can buy an upgraded version with some extra bits for just a few hundred more.

[@adamgill8580]

Awesome

[@reapercarl5047]

Lmao that mindey looked like such a nice lock put a screw in it an bam didnt even need to pull the core XD

[@Photoloss]

Just a heads up, "Zieh" is pronounced "tsee" not "dseye". The name basically means "to pull quickly" which is a little ironic when comparing the slow-but-steady "bell" to a slam hammer.

[@gslavik]

I am no expert, but for $500 it sounds like an excellent starter kit for a locksmith.

[@bryanlatimer-davies1222]

A good kit in terms of the lock specific tools but having pliers and other common hand tools bumps up the price and you have them already
