[@Ben7seven7]

6:14 “don’t stick your tool into any random hole”. That’s good advice.

[@Fixingthingz4u]

OK Bill I wont stick my Tool into any random slot or try and jam it in either 🤣🤣 great video as always keep up the good work

[@smoker318]

I am a maintenance tech at a small facility and today I Picked a cheap master lock on a lady’s locker( she lost her key and asked for help). All I know about picking locks I learned from ur videos. I guess what I did would have been called the rake method( if you can call what I did a method) I have alway enjoyed the way locks work and I feel like I have made a small step closer to learning more about how they work with my insignificant accomplishment. Thank you for the education and please keep the content coming

[@alafgpm]

Bill for a second when you so eloquently said what everyone else mentioned already. I thought I was on another you tubers Chanel. Love it & your channel.

[@rickstreifel4691]

I have seen many wafers that have serrations on the sides. This grabs the edge of the lock body to make it more difficult to pick. It is quite similar to spool pins on the effect that it has. Also, that is probably the factory key with significant pocket wear to remove the logo etc. The code looks factory. Just looked it up, that code does match the cuts of the key. The "machine" marks that you are seeing on the cuts are probably from the disk tumblers with years of use.

[@AlAmantea]

All great advice... and works on locks and girlfriends, too!

[@kevinbacon5142]

As always, sir...great advice presented in a clear, concise manner. Thank you!

[@beriorgar]

i don't suppose you can gut this lock? i'd be curious to see just how gritty and worn-down the wafers are

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

Damn, I don't even need to read the comments to know what's gonna be the ... HOT TOPIC on this one. Such advice Bill.

[@William_Borgeson]

Great advice Bill, words of wisdom for sure!

[@dsimmons6522]

Thanks for the great info Bill.

[@AlbertLebel]

Well done Bill. I actually just mentioned this recently, after watching a gazillion of your videos and LPL's videos I now do my homework before sticking a pick in any lock when possible. It's simply great advice. Thank you

[@Richard.212]

Bonsianbill say, (Never stick your tool in any random hole.) good advice Bill

[@thelockpickinglebowski633]

Sears bought lots of different private label products from Elgin, one of them being these padlocks.

[@lmars5933]

Very cool lock .Great advice Bill.😎

[@robertrobertson7978]

Good morning

[@55ATA3]

I was told not to put my tool in any random hole by my mother years ago. I'm glad she gave me such good advice.....LMAO

[@joshferguson9421]

I live my life by that. "don't stick your tool in any random hole and hope for the best" lol

[@peterbriggs3408]

Ahh - the Lockoicking Lawyer school of innuendo there I see! 😂

[@MISTERB1989]

Don't jam your tool in a random hole

[@infidelcastrato1844]

I wish someone had told me that when I was a young lad.

"Always look at the outside, it might be really aged, bad shape.... residue around the hole"

[@davidcompanion814]

If you gotta scrape residue go home

[@chevylandt.v]

Hey cool lock I got me one from an antique store.

[@daveb6722]

counter rotation on a wafer? I would be wanting to open it up and see whats going on.

[@RAkers-tu1ey]

I had this on an old Yale cast zinc wafer lock. I did open it up, and indeed 2 of the wafers were rounded from using a worn out key... looked like it was "jiggled" and "forced" for a lot of years. 90% of my locks are old, seriously worn, and mostly without keys. Even Master #3's can be tricky picks if they have been abused long enough.

[@bradw0535]

The innuendo runneth over, sound wisdom Bill!

[@peterjames2580]

Fun show! Thanks.

[@thewatchworks1372]

That’s very cool recently I found an antique brass Elgin padlock that does have pin Tumblers and I rekeyed it and works great as it did probably 80 to 90 years ago

[@craigc6626]

Never stick your tool in a gritty hole.

[@LockpickingsGal]

I also use some Houdini and clean it out a bit!!

[@magiclocks9206]

Gates in a wafer lock without a side bar? I believe the wafers are cut narrower in the center and wider at the very top and bottom where they engage the housing. Imaging them to be shaped like the letter X. The slots they fit in in the housing is also beveled. This would add a slight bit of added security by causing counter-rotation which could reset wafers that were already picked and could hold wafers in an over-set position.

[@lockpickingbelfast]

Few beers any holes a goal, make sure to clean your tool after that Bill.

[@hillbillylocksport5547]

Love this video!!!! Thanks man

[@ZedWrench]

Great video and good advice for both picking and life ;p

[@plywoodcarjohnson5412]

So the counterrotation is a good sign. I'll remember that. One thing I finf really difficult is to distinguish the differen pins. But I can still pick. So to me as a beginner there are pin "areas" the 1-2 area. 3-4 area and 5-6. But if I am on five or six? Or if a click is a click or the pick slided off the pin? Who cares? Just keep picking! The last pin opens the lock so I just notice what area I'm in when it opens. Then I relock it and find a way. Like abstract art. Ha ha ha. Bcoz raking. Bcoz jiggling. Bcoz not giving up.

[@tehgyb]

Got a buddy that used to go around sticking his tool in random holes. Didn't turn out too well for him.

[@jacktheripper6716]

always make sure the holes i stick my tool into are well greased ;)

[@spacejaga]

06:14 That's what she said! That's what she said!!!!

[@Pyrolock]

To bad that padlock was ruined by sandblasting. FYI -- ELGIN mostly offered pin tumbler locks as I have several, which I believe were actually made by Independent Lock Company (now ILCO) for ELGIN. Also ELGIN used to be sold by SEARS many, many years ago.

[@samueljames9342]

Forensic lock picking, lol. Great video

[@petekropf5335]

Would love to see you take that lock and show how you would fix it up? Would be interesting, well for me anyways.

[@ronpalmer1371]

So even a cheap old worn out wafer lock puts up a better fight than a Master lock !

[@WHNorthcote]

The last part sounds like a sex education video.

[@jacmccauley7581]

Been a long time since I’ve seen a Elgin lock

[@rickbooker]

"Don't just stick your tool into any random hole" NOW you tell me.

[@PsiChaos2701]

I dunno, if there's residue around the hole that I'd have to scrape away, I don't think I wanna stick my tool in there to begin with...

[@raziel3726]

Craftsman!!

[@roysammons2445]

Not sure how rounded wafers can cause counter rotation but hey, one way or another there's counter rotation.

[@robertlamb7134]

You’re ridiculous. Thanks for the great video Bill.

[@johnnysox5813]

Haha , Don't stick your tool in any random hole!!!! Where's the fun in that! Hahahaha

[@michaeljenkins4908]

I always use protection before putting my tools in random holes.

[@0sergey1]

So... where do you find these random holes?

[@shiestys4284]

Damn i love your vids lol

[@Louie359]

Had hoped to see you gut that thing. Curious how that core is held in there.

[@danielhildebrand6892]

Would an ultra Sonic cleaner help remedy the grit??

[@vizaromax]

Hello Bill , I have a question : can you tell me why a lot of pinlocks are placed upside down ? Is that effects the pin , by Gravity perhaps? I"ve learned that such a change is always for a reason. Tanx for all your explanetions? Dirk Reinhardt Netherlands

[@rickstreifel4691]

North American standard it to the have pins on the top. European standard is to have them on the bottom.

[@vizaromax]

@@rickstreifel4691 tanx you , good luck , Dirk Reinhardt Netherlands

[@caseylocke4474]

6:14 - My doctor told me this.

[@Polite_Cat]

why dont manufacturers make "spool" wafers, then? if all they needed to do was round off the wafer? seems like a decent idea. although i guess if you're making a wafer lock it's probably not meant for high security.

[@AThreeDogNight]

2 Views, 8 likes...really you tube? LOL!!!!!!! Nice idea Bill & was well done.

[@theukuleleist]

people can like a video before their view is counted that's usually why this happens

[@AThreeDogNight]

@@theukuleleist , Okay I thought that was pretty weird, thanks.

Are you an billschannel the same person?

[@dsloop3907]

Counter rotation on a wafer lock is weird. :/

[@JimFortune]

Toward the end, I wasn't sure if you were evaluating a lock or a potential girlfriend!
