REVEIW: AM5 2in1 Lishi pick

[@LockPickingLegend]

Nice video... That is an authentic Lishi pick. That is a silhouette of Mr Li - meaning it's an 'Original Lishi'. The other logo (the word LISHI in a square) are known as 'Genuine Lishi' but are actually a licensing deal UAP Tradelocks made with LISHI years ago.

Cheers. Unfortunately it was after making the video that I watched deviant ollam's informative video explaining just that 🤦🏼 KZbin no longer allows annotations so I can't correct it. How helpful! 😆🍺

[@LockPickingLegend]

@@Dmaclocksport Yes, KZbin is staggeringly useless for the largest video hosting platform. I saw afterwards that someone else mentioned it. No biggy though, still a cracking video.

I thought the Allen wrench was so you could reverse the tension bar for lefties.

Hi, I just got introduced to the Lishi picks and absolutely love them. I ordered my Am5 and waiting for it. I've watched ur videos and need to know will the am5 work on master locks or do I need the M1/MS2 LISHI?

[@Dmaclocksport]

@@senyokosuda9417 all lishi are keyway specific. The M1/MS2 works with many 4 pin masterlocks, but not all.

[@senyokosuda9417]

@Dmaclocksport thank you, I should've ordered a m1/Ms2

[@rinolockkeylocksport5812]

Nice to know it works in other locks. Never ran across those 2, but good to know!

Perfect timing for this review as I have the AM5 Lishi on my wish list. 🤞

[@Dmaclocksport]

A nice toy to play with for sure 😁👍🏻

Update: I did get the Lishi AM5 from my understanding wife and I can't say enough about it. I've been really struggling with the 1100's and have recently gone to progressive pinning on all of them. Taking out pinstacks 4 and 5 on one, 1 and 2 on another etc... started having some success but it still felt random. Then I got the Lishi and it was a real eye opener. Tension, pick pressure, being able to feel what was set vs overset and binding order. I have to say I believe it's a great training aid and hopefully it gets me thru to the next level. Thanks again and Happy New Year Dmac! 🍻

I have one of the Yale ones only because of how common the Y1 keyway is. As a locksporter as well I don't really have much need for one, but if I did buy another it would be one if those, just because of the number of locks I own it would work with. They are quite fun, thanks for sharing.

[@Dmaclocksport]

Same here mate. Those lovely, positive AL pins make using this pick fun 👍🏻

Great review!! I do think that is a genuine Lishi 😃 I think that company asked if I would do some reviews. I really forgot to get back to them with some more questions. Well done!!! 🐈‍⬛🐾🐈🐾⛄️🍻

[@Dmaclocksport]

Yes, I remember your video. I wasn't keen to review the product they asked me to review initially but this certainly seems to be a great bit of kit 😎👌🏼

[@chriscapune7873]

@@Dmaclocksport 👍yes fun Lishi 😃🐈‍⬛🐾⛄️

That “Chinese looking fellow” is Mr. Li

[@Dmaclocksport]

Thanks, yes indeed. In my ignorance, I'd assumed it wasn't the real deal in the absence of an English worded Lishi logo. Have since done a bit more research including Deviant's excellent lishi video and realised it is a proper lishi and that Mr Li is there staring me in the face 😁👍🏻

[@SadisticPicker]

Sweet!!! I need one of these. For as many as I pick. And for the ones that are terrible 😂. Luckily haven’t come across one I couldn’t open……… yet😜. Good stuff Dmac!

[@Dmaclocksport]

Need or want? 😆 Thanks for watching dude

[@SadisticPicker]

@@Dmaclocksport 😂. Mostly wants, rarely needs!

[@martintickleholland5571]

Does this also fit uk padlocks?

[@Dmaclocksport]

@@martintickleholland5571 it only fits AM5 keyways. They're on some UK padlocks 👍🏻

[@LockFumbler]

Nice review 👌 I am still sceptical, where these lishis fit into locksport, but they definetly look fun 🤔 Especially if they are presented like this 🤗 At some point i will go and buy one myself, just for fun 🙃 Cheers 🍻

[@Dmaclocksport]

I was of the same mind. They are by no means an essential tool for locksport but, if you have the budget, they are a fun toy to play with 😄👍🏻
