Kryptonite Original Keeper Picked with Sparrows Disc Pick

[@LockNoob]

I just wanted to be one of the first to get a video out of the Sparrows Disc Pick in use 😆😆😆 I chose the Kryptonite Keeper since it is well known, mid-range and relatable. 🔐👍

[@georginaford7052]

This is certainly proving to be a popular disc detainer pick, LPL and Bosnian Bill did a really good job in its design... :-)

[@LockNoob]

I think they did too

[@thegoonch1]

I missed ordering one from the first batch, so now I can just watch with envy while I wait for them to make more. Thanks for the video!

[@roysammons2445]

I don't think you will have to wait long as I get the impression from Sparrows website they will soon have another batch. Then again, look how long it took them to get this first batch out.

[@LockNoob]

Thanks 🙏

[@jdcritchfield]

I was able to order one today.

[@gantry289]

Great job, always nice to see the new pick hard at work (and working).

[@LockNoob]

Thanks 🙏

[@chriscapune7873]

Very well picked! Lots of great information!! 👍👏🐾🐈

[@LockNoob]

Thanks 🙏

[@BD90..]

If I was picking it I would hold the lock in my hands especially with that tool. It would be pretty comfortable using the tool and holding the lock. I have dip bars that can act as the bike frame lol

[@LockNoob]

You can do it in hand, but it’s just easier in the vice, lol

[@michaeljenkins4908]

I owned an original kryptonite lock for my bike and you are correct, it was a tubular lock. I was probably about 12 and I thought the key was so cool.

[@LockNoob]

Cool, 😃👍

Not bad. Do not force the pick. GOOD advice.

very cool Ash my friend and great job😊🇬🇧😎👊👍

Thanks Leon! 😃👍

[@nitailevi8001]

Hi, I don't know much about locks, but every door lock or padlock I can remember opened (with the key) only in the anti clockwise direction, basically like regular right hand threads. This and quite a few other videos show locks tensioned to open in the clockwise direction when picked. I'm probably missing something...?

[@LockNoob]

yes, most locks open clockwise

[@chaz2785]

Great pick and tips for the new tool. I'm wondering if Sparrows is going to come up with ax expansion set of pick tips and tension tips for this tool. I think it would be wise to do so to make it more versatile. 🤔💭💡

[@LockNoob]

An expansion would be very cool!

[@chaz2785]

@@LockNoob it must be something they are going to be looking into now that they are seeing different reviews from the community. Most of the complaints I have seen are based on the very limited number of cores it's able to pick. This tool is capable of so much more if it only had more components like the bullet pick you reviewed today

[@MrCreepjo]

Everthing is very much modular so i don't see an issue on having alternate parts.

[@roysammons2445]

Funny enough I ordered a Kryptinite original keeper a while ago. It's probably stuck in some sorting office waiting for Covid to go away so they can deliver to my place of employment. I anticipated getting it knowing the Sparrows DD was just around the corner. Maybe more videos with this pick along with more tips? Good locks, cheap locks and tips as to how they feel when you pick and what to do to overcome the difficulties? Thanks for the video 👍🏻

[@LockNoob]

Thanks! Yes, people have been asking for more details and tips - I might make a whole video on the subject...

[@roysammons2445]

If I run into back tension disc lock what do I do ?if I am using this sparrow disc pick In the first place HOW DO I KNOW OR TELL IF THE DISC LOCK HAS BACK OR FRONT TENSION?THANKS FOR ANY INFO PROVIDED

[@MrDLRu]

The cheap Chinesium disc detainer set of 2 picks you see on ebay, has a rear tensioner in the set. Without knowing how the lock operates, if it's rear tensioning and you front tension, you'll get zero resistance on the discs. I'm new at this, but have a StarSR padlock I got to practice on. It has 2 thicker discs in front that I tension off of, but get zero inner disc tension, so I have to assume it's a rear tensioning lock. To be clear, the 2 thicker discs will spin and stop about 1/4 turn from where the key stops turning to open the lock. While I'm waiting for the Chinesium picks, I will be getting a Reese receiver disc lock to practice with, as that is front tensioning.

[@lockpremium9826]

@@MrDLRu well I am not getting any resistance on this disc padlocks I am using and this sparrow disc pick is turning into a headache to make it work.i will try on U-disc bike lock and see what I get if not I will just have to sell this sparrow disc thanks anyways 😀

[@MrDLRu]

@@lockpremium9826 It's definitely not the pick, it's awesome for the price. Because the blade it narrow, which allows it to be used on precision locks with more discs, you have to use the technique of using a finger against the pick barrel and lined shaft to help keep the blade in line with the disc while turning the blade barrel. None of them explain that in their videos, but watch and see them doing that. LPL/Lock Noob picked a Reese receiver lock with the Sparrow and they are much cheaper than the U bike locks they've picked. Have fun pickin' and you won't have a problem selling that.

[@s0men00bb]

Great lock. I was hoping to be the one with random tension disks , but this is cool too. :)

[@LockNoob]

I do have one with random tensioning discs - just need to learn to pick it!

[@s0men00bb]

I hope it doesn't contain false gates too , as it would be nightmarish to pick. :)

[@lmars5933]

Well done my friend 😎

[@LockNoob]

Thanks 🙏

[@pieknylolo-s8i]

It's impressive. I'm just starting lockpicking, but I hope that one day I will open such locks like this :D

[@LockNoob]

You’ll get there, keep going!

@@LockNoob Thanks :)

[@maureenswallow3054]

It still looks a tricky pick with a 1st class bit of kit,(for me that is)I have no doubt it's going to be some time before can at my hands on one.there is a second tool that I believe L P L starts with to turn all the disc to the right before proceeding with the picking,maybe another name I have missed.well done for the vid and good picking at a high standard,billbo.

[@LockNoob]

Thanks friend 😃👍

[@jameslucarelli7172]

I'm really twisted on this pick because on one hand it will give criminals more easy access to these locks but on the other hand most criminals don't pick locks and this will most certainly will push the industry forward with new surcrity innovations to combat this but I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't feel as safe with my bike lock anymore. but that will just happen with time weather this pick came out or not. And I will still be picking one up myself and I'm very grateful for LPL and bill for giving away their design for free truly wonderful people.

[@LockNoob]

I wouldn’t worry. There are destructive bypasses criminals have been using on these locks for YEARS which take seconds and don’t need specific equipment and training. This may look easy on video, but it took me hours to get used to the tool and I’m still learning. A tool like this won’t appeal to criminals.

[@jameslucarelli7172]

@@LockNoob you are right I forgot about that now I feel like a dummy

[@LockNoob]

Don’t feel like that, it’s a perfectly logical response and also is picker always put more stock into picking than it deserves even though criminals just don’t bother since they don’t need to

[@yom73]

Just received mine today, now I need to wait for a Kryptonite New York to be delivered next week. So far I only picked a cheap padlock and it was a bit more difficult than with the $5 Chinese pick as the tip is more difficult to place correctly on the thin disks. Also maybe because I tried to not force on the tip while I generally have heavy hands with the basic tool.

[@LockNoob]

Yes, you do have to hold the tip into the lock to make sure you don’t torque out of the keyway

[@yom73]

Lock Noob Finally the Krytonite New York has been delivered this morning ! 😃 5 minutes, 5 minutes, 2 minutes ! 😎 It is very important to keep the pick 100% aligned with the core, otherwise you grab very easily the spacers.

[@yom73]

Next step the massive Abus Granit currently securing my bike. 😬

[@yom73]

Abus Granit Plus 37/80 picked... twice ! 😎

[@Jason_Music]

First thing we're going to do is rota.... hold my beer please

[@LockNoob]

👍👍👍👍

[@Vinlaell]

Looks like you barely got it in there if that lock was any longer with this shell you wouldn't have been able to hit it with the tensioner what happens when the lock makers notice this perhaps we could add an adapter to it to make it longer with the rod a little extra longer to compensate as well?

[@LockNoob]

I’d like to see upgrades bought out for this, but I could always use the Silver bullet

[@jackfoxlock]

I am totally confused on which way you turn the pick tip. Is it clockwise or counter clockwise? I see you doing both and getting clicks in both directions. 😳

[@LockNoob]

I start turning clockwise to find a gate, but if I’m unsure I will turn backwards too. You get clicks from going in and out of gates plus when the tip slips off a disc 👍

[@donwon9135]

Very nice noob .
