Challenge, Can I Pick a Tubular Lock with the Covert Companion?

[@Downfal1]

Well done, great idea. I have always found tubular locks tedious.

[@gprider1525]

Very impressive picking, now I need to find a beginner guide for a basic tubular lock 😮

[@paulg413]

thank you, variable tension is the trick 👌 👍

[@terrybpickin9941]

Great work and well explained mate 🙂👌 The covert companion seems so awkward to use to me,but I've not actually held one. Are they worth the money?

[@paulg413]

Personally I really like it, for sure it's a compromise and single pin picking is quite awkward so I see why they introduced the rivpick upgrade, the tag line is the best tool is the one in your pocket and from this perspective its the best solution. I think at the end of the day if you wanted an edc solution then its ideal, if you care less about having a pick in your pocket as you go about your daily business then not so much

Mr Lock Picking Paul - where did you buy this picking tool ? Could you give a link ? I woułd be very appreciate :)

[@paulg413]

HI, you can get it here, you can buy the base tool and customise it with extras covertinstruments.com/collections/ssf-bypass-bible

[@szunpl]

@@paulg413 thanks :) every product is sold out ? is it something wrong with this website ?

[@southernflatland]

I can usually do these in about 10 to 15 seconds with an appropriate sized plastic tube, from the end of an ink pen or marker.

You ain't the lawyer.

[@petertracanna6679]

Fantastic, Thank You for showing how to use whatever tools you may have on hand. Quick question…is that a trainer cam lock or do they make some with PIN numbers on the face? Thanks for your time and this video!

[@paulg413]

HI, it's a production lock, I think this one came off of a pub fruit machine, the numbers seem to be a thing with 8 pin versions of this lock, I have other different ones and only the 8 pin versions have numbers

[@stevemartin9997]

It’s actually an 8 change lock….you can change the key with a change key, there is also an 12 change version

[@PickingPrincipals]

Man - that seemed tedious. I am quite impressed that you could tension and turn it with those standard turning tools though. You know how much I hate the mantis!

[@paulg413]

Yeah that was tedious and I made life more difficult by picking the lock I did but I wanted to see if it was possible, now I've done it I don't have to do it again 🤣

[@vladinica6003]

nice lock !!!

[@TequilaDave]

Another great hack 👍

[@paulg413]

Cheers TD 👍

[@BeercanBushcraft]

Nice one Paul. Did the lock come with the numbers on? Well done 👍🍻🍻🍻

[@paulg413]

Hi, yes, it came with the numbers on, I've got a couple of different ones with numbers and they are all 8 pin locks rather than the usual 7 so perhaps they are trying to big that up a bit

[@BeercanBushcraft]

@@paulg413 well that was excellent then - obviously I'm very slightly less impressed because I thought you had done it 😂 Enjoyed that video 👍❤️
