[778] Abus 70IB/45 All Weather Padlock Picked

[@davidgalbraith1840]

Abus' low security is still better than MasterLock's best.

[@SupremeRuleroftheWorld]

cant set the bar lower then the floor...

[@SuperAWaC]

not true. the loto cores are excellent. if they put a loto core into a laminated body it would easily be the best padlock for the price and would blow all the other low-mid secure padlocks out of the water

[@davidgalbraith1840]

@@SuperAWaC but they don't and never will because that cuts into profits and wouldn't meet Wally-World's low price demands.

[@theoneandonlyghandi]

I will agree that the LOTO cores are better than their other offerings but they're still over-rated imho. I have 5 of them with 2 different keyways, varying degrees of bitting and to be honest, Abus' LOTO and Lockwood LOTO padlocks offer more pick resistance.

[@Grim_Beard]

"low security"? Going by your videos, *all* locks are low security!

[@ThePurificator69420]

i wait for the video where he says: this is very high security, and the only way to pick this lock, is to FUCKING PUT TNT NEAR IT AND SENT IT TO HIS MAKER!

[@dlevi67]

It's low security because it's physically small and with a thin shackle. The core is actually quite good (at least, if the tolerances on this one are typical).

[@SnabbKassa]

He said "I would buy this" about the Abloy PL341 in video 916

[@MessiAlfrodo]

I wasn't sure about buying this lock until I saw this video. LPL didn't wave rake it, and it took more than 10 seconds to pick. That's good enough for me!!

[@fluke196c]

Not a bad little lock. Wonder how it would hold up on a boat. In any case it’s better than a metal zip tie (aka master lock)

[@two_tier_gary_rumain]

Marine or freshwater?

[@Kakkarot22]

don't insult zip ties, thicker ones can take me almost a minute to remove

[@evanphi]

ABUS lists it as marine/aquasafe

Have you ever tried opening a lock with a paperclip?

[@Hiphop15142]

He could open it with his finger if he really wants to lmao

[@andregon4366]

I'd rather see him opening a paperclip with a lock.

It was longer than expected...pretty good lock for general use.

[@Hiphop15142]

They always put tricky cores in horrible lock bodies. Just like the restricted cylinder. Never understood it

[@StarkRG]

Wow, I was surprised by the pick resistance of that otherwise fairly insecure lock...

[@geniduchesne4613]

I was picking (for practice) the same kind of padlock, this one gave me a challenge, the pins always drop back to their initial position. I will try the counter rotation. Thanks :-) It works!

[@two_tier_gary_rumain]

Looks like it can be shimmed, judging by the cuts on the shackle.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Only if you cut a bunch of plastic away... but that turns it into a much slower destructive attack.

[@curthatt6461]

Cool pick! Pins dropping and spools everywhere. Loved your picking!

[@ashcraig]

After referencing the official LPL SPP performance guide; 60 or more seconds to open = I have no chance of ever successfully picking this lock. lol

[@Rafegaret]

Can you post definitions for some of the terms you use, such as "spool", "false set", etc.?

[@nathan-fh8hp]

Rafe Garet Google

[@amani576]

Watch some other videos where he guts them. Spools look like string spools that you'd use on a sewing machine. False set is where the center section (the reduced radius part of it) has shifted and it the core moves a little bit if I'm not mistaken.

[@mr_mr]

search around for lock pin types. You'll find spool, standard, serrated and others. Many of those that are not standard are considered security pins. A "false set" has to do with a position the spool pin goes into when he picks it. When the pins are all in a "set" position the lock will open. When an inexperienced picker feels (with the pick) a false set pin they will be confused as to why the lock isn't opened.

[@MicroRCFiend]

@Rafe - have a look at Bills free course, it covers all these terms really well. locklab.com/locklab-university/lock-picking-course-2/

[@aviewfromthesaddle4160]

I bought one of these to secure a garden storage box (more to keep the kids out really; the box itself including the lock loops is plastic so I'm sure a determined thief would get in regardless of which lock was fitted). I'm pleasantly surprised just how well that stood up to your picking to be honest, for a lock that cost me around £10 retail. I could have bought a masterlock one for slightly less but I've seen enough of your videos to know I might as well not use a lock at all if I'm going to do that!! Incidentally, I needed a new lock because I lost the key for the previous Yale one I had on there and thanks to your videos I was able to both rake it and single-pin pick it multiple times, both to remove it without damage to the box and for fun. I actually found it harder to rake it than to pick it because the keyway was so small. Thanks for the great content, as always!

[@lockpickingbelfast]

It was fighting you

[@PlebPhurgusson]

Hi there, i just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to get into locksport. I've watched tons of your videos, and after doing puzzles for a while, I decided lock picking would be a fun challenge. I just received my first set of lock picks yesterday and today, picked my first lock thanks to the knowledge I've gotten from your videos. It was just a 3-pin cabinet lock but I'm excited to try more. Do you have recommendations for me to hone my skill?

[@stefflus08]

Yeah I just got one of these to keep kids out of an outhouse. Said 8mm shackle on the package, I supposed there was a thin layer of some finish or polymer on it, but was really disappointed that the actual shackle was closer to 6mm

[@GumbootZone]

[@slinkytreekreeper]

Hello, i'm an internet commenter and today i'll be discussing why having intros and outros that don't change ever and are longer than the actual content is a bad idea if you appreciate people wanting to actually use your playlist. Let's get to it...Watching multiple videos in your playlists, videos spend more time with intro and outro than actual video picking or testing. I'm not exaggerating either, try it. On top of that, it's ALWAYS EXACTLY the same, mind numbingly tedious and i'm only a hundred or so vids in to 800. After 20 or 30 it's like water torture and nothing makes me skip past large chunks of video more than attempting to not endure yet more repetition. It literally makes your playlists unwatchable if just left playing and makes me cringe every time it get's close to happening - worse still we are forced to and entire outro and then in succession, often followed by a 1 minute pick and yet more outro and then intro - double punishment. Jeez even ads would be better, there's no ones vids I jump to skip past the intro as much as yours, especially the damn outro as much as yours.Your actual content is freaking awesome but please stop punishing us with the fake enthusiasm while you force the words yet again from your mouth. It's ok to not like doing it, we get it. You can stop if you like you know? Or mix it up maybe, double dare you!? Make playlists great again! Be creative! PLEASE!In any case, that's all from me. If you have any comments or suggestions, leave them below. And the most fake bit, don't forget to have a nice day!!!! x 100000000

[@adamwest8711]

I have this low security padlock, (picks up a lock with 5 security pins and a narrow paracentric keyway), 🤦🏻‍♂️...

[@dlevi67]

It's got a 6.5 mm shackle... the core is probably the most secure part, but mechanically this is a weak lock.

[@adamwest8711]

dlevi67 - I know but...well every lock gives in to brute force eventually, so having that level of lock with that sort of core/keyway just made me chuckle...

When I saw LPL describe this lock I didn't expect anything from it. But with all that counter rotation it puts up a bit of a fight with a few security pins. I wonder how easy it would be to rake open? As always... nice picking... you make it look so easy.

You can’t shun it unless you cut the plastic away first.

Very similar pick resistance in two different locks , this and Elzett 2048/45. :) But , this one doesn't has wild bitting. :)

[@AnthonyCurreri]

This is the lockpicking lawyer and I've picked this lock even before I finished saying this sentence thank you goodbye.

[@TreyCook21]

That looks like one the may be easier picking backwards, starting at 5. Try it out and see if it pops quicker.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Probably... but it’s not really fair if I figure out how it picks first and modify my approach accordingly. I always use the same approach for this reason.

[@TreyCook21]

And that's why I appreciate your videos. I only meant after the video is done. I imagine that after you shoot a video, you go back and see how fast you can pick it just for fun sake.

[@jamesg1367]

You're not wrong, @Trey Cook. I try forward first then backward if unsuccessful, as a matter of course. It often does the trick.

[@MrGray-dx8sw]

What is a false set

[@Melds]

It's when the core partially turns because it's trapped on the center part of spool pins (or T pins). The core has to be turned back slightly to push the spools up. Pushing on the spool with the pick usually generates a bit of reverse rotation.

[@jameschristiansson3137]

Ask Naomi Wu kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2a5lKakdpKgidk

[@Navy735]

Would you recommend this for a gym locker? I go to a gym where the locker room is next to the pool so a lot of moisture and chlorine get into the area. The biggest lock I can fit is a master number 3/ combo dial lock.

[@dlevi67]

It's meant for marine use, so corrosion should not be an issue. This would be a lot harder to pick than most combination locks, and I guess many destructive methods would not be easy to implement in a locker room/dressing area because of the noise. However you then need to carry a key with you.

[@1776WillCommenceCanada]

crazy (not to me anymore I'm used to it) but I have only 2 options in canada.... mastershit or brinks.... I guess the 3rd option is pay double to triple the price to import an abus..... I see on ebay people selling them for normal price ($15-$20 CAD) but then its $30 shipping..... I really dont get why people do it. Shipping IS NOT THAT MUCH. I saw on amazon and its $10 USD to ship to canada... Im going through amazon becasue its the most "reasonable". Masterlock is as good as putting almost nothing, this abus isnt much better but it will stop 99.9% of people. Its just for a gate to take out the dog but someone is bound to try and pick at it, theres meth heads all over and its better to have one on.

Is that a removable core?

[@jamesg1367]

It doesn't appear so. Based on LPL's comment above, it isn't.

[@seanb3516]

It looks as though when you use the wiper insert you do not insert it fully into the bottom of the keyway. Am I correct in this? If so then why not insert it fully? I use the wiper fully inserted to support the pick however perhaps I am not doing it correctly.

[@Lammergeier350]

It's all a matter of taste. The primary use of any insert or bar is to provide tension to the core - the fringe benefit of having support for your pick in a high keyway is just icing on the cake. Just remember, the correct way of picking a lock is the way that gets the lock open without destroying it. No matter how you're doing it, as long as you're successful you're doing it right.

[@TreyCook21]

His wiper is usually in the lock, but if I had to wager a guess, I'd say he left it out a bit because the keyway was so small.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

[@alext9067]

Um,,, I think you could flesh out some of these videos. Rather lean on the facts.

[@johnathanmcdoe]

Felt like the relevant information was given: It's a lock meant to resist the elements more than a possible brute force attack (weak shackle, looks like you could try to shimm it too) and comes with a above average (for its class) core. Otherwise it's just another padlock.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Shimming would only be possible if you cut the plastic away... but given the time required, there’s are far easier ways in. Shimming is significant because it’s fast, unskilled, and non destructive. That’s not the case here.

[@adamwest8711]

I quite like this style. I think it’s almost the LPL trademark. I’ve seen earlier videos where he seems really depressed by how shitty some locks are but now remains calm and uses explosives on them instead, (still one of my favourites). Personally, wouldn’t change a thing.
