Which lockpick to choose?

I hear many new pickers asking 'How do I know which tool to reach for when I'm picking a new lock?'. In this video I will unbox and pick a lock and guide you through my thought processes and tool selection.

That was fantastic to watch Dmac. It's good to see your thinking and working through which pick and tension wrench to use. Nice one 😉👍

[@chriscapune7873]

@@johndow3490 thanks mate. I'm not sure I could offer you any education when it comes to locks! 😁👍🏻

[@johndow3490]

@Dmaclocksport you explain things from different point of view and sometimes IT helps a lot to understand whitch are my regular mistakes

[@danstotland6386]

The last person to try to pick your lock used a shotgun blast to open that lock. Careful observation will reveal that very cunning method. Great video with useful information.

That rotational picking is a new one on me, interesting!

[@NickJaggers-yo6sz]

Nice one 👍

[@Feenix102]

Cool. Yeah, I have a couple of Abus locks - a silver rock and a big brass one, can't remember the number. I know what you mean about the spools, theyre evil, lol. I'm quite intuitive myself, so I tend to go by feel rather than keyway design sometimes, which can be...a process, lol. Nice open, man - thanks for sharing. :)

[@Dmaclocksport]

@@Feenix102 thanks, I do like an Abus 😎👌🏼

[@Dotslocks14]

I really enjoyed this type of video.I go through a similar process though I start with a rake just to see if I can get the open.The right pick and tensioner is a process they I enjoy that’s part of the puzzle.Cheers Dmac👍🏻

[@Loose-Shirt6551]

Does that Abus model allow you to gut it? Make a key, nice little padlock.

[@Dmaclocksport]

@@Loose-Shirt6551 I was hoping it would but its not guttable. Maybe I'll impression it one day.

[@1vbAPiYk]

doesn't country of residence play a role too?

[@Dmaclocksport]

@@1vbAPiYk I guess it could do 👍🏻

[@Mr1nferno]

RU46?

[@Dmaclocksport]

@@Mr1nferno no, a few years older than that mate 😆👍🏻 Seriously though, I'm not sure, could be. I don't have any info on it

[@gprider1525]

Really well explained. I think you need a shower now or decontamination maybe 😂 cheers 🍻

[@Dmaclocksport]

@@gprider1525 😆 yeah, it was a crusty mofo
