Covert Instruments Decoder Bundle Review

[@HeAD-CRuMBs]

Out of the hundreds upon hundreds of lock picking videos I've watched, this is by far the most indepth video on using a bypass decoder of this type. This video actually gives you a better detailed perspective on how to use both sides of the tool properly. Most of the other videos are really vague and just give a basic idea on using one. Excellent video. Good job Lock Noob.

[@DAdamTrammell]

I'm going to have to watch this video again to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

[@LockNoob]

Lol

Covert instruments do ship to the UK.i have just bought expansion packs for my covert companion tool on sale. Dispatch time is good, delivery has been 7 - 19 days .

[@LockNoob]

Good to know thanks

[@outlaworganics5991]

Very cool Ash, I’m Devin or OUTLAW ORGANICS. Awesome to see different perspectives from different people as not all people learn the same way. Love the videos you put out, would love to see another hand’s only thing with you LPL and maybe bring Bosnian Bill out of retirement. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills and keep up the great work. CHEERS FROM BRATTLEBORO, VT USA

[@fordresurrectionest9556]

Thank you for the demonstration. I just got my new decoders.👍

[@weatherman68]

Ive had a lot of success using steel cable ties, but not so good with the more narrow spaces. The Dangerfield Decoders are very good in my opinion . Cheers mate. Blessings and respect ✌🏽🕊️🍻

[@LockNoob]

Yeah the narrow ones can be a pain

[@Chirael]

Great review Ash, I was wondering how you could do over ten minutes on decoders but you did a great job. Thanks for addressing the question I was thinking the whole time, at the end - what about decoding the flat spots on the wheels? Thanks again 😊🙏

[@LockNoob]

I know that ‘flat spots’ are a little bit of an older technique, but it’s still valid. I’d love to see a triple set

[@chriscapune7873]

Good review! 🐾🐈‍⬛🐈🐾🇬🇧🍻

[@fordsfords]

Hey, I have a question for you about SPP. I've really been enjoying using the monkeys, to the point where I'm not sure why I would use anything else. I haven't encountered a lock that I could not pick with a monkey but I could pick it with something else. So why do you use other picks for SPP? Are others faster? Just want more of a challenge?

[@LockSpaz]

Depends what locks you've been picking. On some locks, especially small ones, and particularly European locks, the chambers are smaller and/or more closely spaced together than locks you might be tackling; on these, greater precision and a smaller hook tip may be necessary.

[@LockNoob]

I’m really glad you like the monkey paws. They are great, but there will be locks where they are just not suited for due to their wider tips

[@KnoxLocks]

Cool review 😎 👍 I grabbed 2 sets of decoders when I got the Echelon set. Already bent one... 😆😁👍

[@LockNoob]

They are veeeery thin!

[@gantry289]

Thanks for the review. I'm sure you've reviewed similar style picks, have you found any that work just as well but perhaps a little less expensive?

[@LockNoob]

These are currently the only notched decoders I know of on sale

[@AnthonyBerardis-r1p]

Yoda, why where there keys attached to the 1st masterlock combination lock?

[@LockNoob]

Ah yes! That’s a master lock 176XDLH and it has a key that can also be used to unlock it from the side too!!

[@hjvveight4074]

Very easy to make just go buy fuel gauges from local halfords or similar place .

[@idkwhatnonamemyself1951]

I think you mean feeler gauges, guessing autocorrect kicked in there?

[@LockNoob]

Yeah I’ve made them that way myself but it’s not always cheaper or better tbh

[@libertarian1637]

I’d third the comparison between the notched and “standard” like the Peterson or Sparrows. Never sure if the notch is more of a gimmick or a useful thing as I’ve always gotten along with Peterson deciders without issue; though 2 of these for the price of one of theirs isn’t bad. I believe the Sparrows is cheaper but it has a much larger handle; always thought their handle would be great on a bypass knife or even pucks though.

[@LockNoob]

The notch is essential for decoding by grabbing the locking bar

[@TsiolkovskySportingLocks]

great review and interesting product.

[@stevegagnon1449]

The Master 175 got me: I warped the thinner tool and wasn't able to open it this way.

[@LockNoob]

You definitely have to go carefully

[@colinbetchley965]

I had the same problem. Warped the tool as it was inserted.

[@Leonslockpad]

very cool Ash mate nice review😊🇬🇧😎👊👍

[@LockNoob]

Thanks Leon!!

[@StupidDumpsterFire]

Can you please make a full review of the Covert Companion

[@LockNoob]

Already have

[@StupidDumpsterFire]

@@LockNoob Ok

[@thelockpickinglebowski633]

Good demo.

[@LockNoob]

Thanks!

[@lmars5933]

Good morning kinda looks like they used a lishi notcher too create the notich,may just 6thousand feller to create the tool 😎

[@ColtonRMagby]

A lock picker in the UK reviews a product LockPickingLawyer knows very well. Cool.👍

[@LockNoob]

Thanks 👍

[@ColtonRMagby]

@@LockNoob You're welcome.

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks, I believe those will be a good investment

[@LockNoob]

They are pretty good!

[@SorobanWorld]

Pretty entertaining...

[@jordanwhite352]

First? (Also, always wanted to compare a notch with untouched, never had an issue with my unoched one)

[@LockNoob]

You can’t pull a locking bar without the notch

[@marcoluisdoradopineda1686]

Not available to ship to Mexico...wtf?

[@MR2Davjohn]

Picking tools are illegal in Mexico.

[@Sovsmedsovs]

Shouldn't 10000 of a inch be thinner than 6000 of a inch? :)

[@Epicentr]

.010 > .006 🧐

[@Sovsmedsovs]

You are right but he is saying 1/10000 and 1/6000 of a inch. So the 1/10000 the smallest number.

[@Sovsmedsovs]

In my native language he if isaying - if you translate directly, that the thicker is 1/10000 of a inch which is very very thin :)

[@Sovsmedsovs]

@@Epicentr the numbers you write here I would call : 1/100 of a inch is larger than 6/1000 of a inch.

[@LockNoob]

Having 10 of 1 thousandths of something will be more than if you only have 6 of 1 thousand
