[@joshipokemongiveaways5084]

Quick question; why do you bother carrying your keys

[@howdenking]

because his locks are pickproof or would require an hour of picking to get in.

[@iamzollokb]

The locks his locks literally break if you try to pick them

[@RealUnimportant]

It's one of the two cardinal rules: never pick a lock which you rely on.

[@mr.j1013]

But how do you know its the key to his house and not to a neighbor house? Or even a key for a supermax prison? For all we know, he could be breaking out of prison as a hobby. Much like the movie Prison break.

[@MrFrostburner]

You can accidentally permanently screw up a lock if you pick it. It's best to not use a pick on something you intend to actually use.

I just want to say that I have never had an interest in locks or locksmithing until I came across your KZbin page a month or two ago. At this point I've watched at least a hundred plus videos of yours and I prefer to watch you pick locks than many other subjects on KZbin that I actually have a direct interest in. You are a phenomenal narrator and truly passionate about what you do which attracts many people to your channel that may not even have an interest in locks. As a result of watching so many of your videos I have a Bowley 543 in stainless steel sitting on my desk as a paperweight. $250 (shipped) spent on a lock that I have no real use for but I had to have it considering I think it's the only lock I did not see you or anybody else online pick. You've created a weird fascination for me and I appreciate it because watching your videos is extremely entertaining. Thank you!

[@kptnkaoz2203]

I also improvised a few keys from blanks that were much too long, or had the same channels but were too broad. I always had full access to the key to be duplicated, though.

question one: why do you need to carry lock pick equipment everyday? question 2: if you don't smoke, why does a lighter come handy often?

[@kingrpriddick]

1: I imagine all of his friends and family who don't pick locks know he does and those who do also enjoy picking probably have interesting things to pick. 2: Lighters are the smallest, most convenient way to make cold things hot, so yeah, that's kinda handy. I also don't smoke and always carry a lighter, I don't use it everyday but I do use it often. I'm also into hobbies like camping and electronics so starting fires and warming heat shrink mostly.

If you've got a skill that can be useful in real life situations, you should be as reasonably prepared to use that skill as often as you can in case the situation comes up that you need it. imagine someone loosing a key to a file cabinet with an important file in it, or the key to a padlock for a tool shed, or hell, even dropping the keys to something down a storm drain. those are situations that can pop up at any time, and where his tools will come in handy. and for that second one, lighters are just useful to apply localized heat to things, and are useful in a bunch of situations, from everything to helping to dethaw a car door lock, to emergency repair on shoestrings.
