@@xaemosxone “Most locks are Pick Resistant now”. How so? Agree that not all these locks are being opened fast. Some have security pins and I only added the opening. That will be obvious to most I believe. In my experience it’s much faster to pick a master lock than to shim it. Would love to see others thoughts on this.

@@Wutsahandle-w1g LMAO. Budget in for a new door every Christmas? 🎅

@ elf drilled the cylinder and my safe, stole 1500 in valuables😔

@@Yinyet420 I was tempted to use something else but I couldn’t get away from this song, just way to darn fitting lol.

@@GrouchyLenny Thank you for checking it out. It’s also like a compilation of pure fun lol. Happy Picking! 🔒👍

It’s such a great question. I’m a little torn on the answer. The Reaper hooks are definitely designed differently, both profile and strength, and I believe they are a great addition, and not so much as a ‘solve all’. In so many cases, 20 thousand just it’s needed. Yet, the difference between 20-25 is everything. Personally I can’t get past the strength. I’ve beat the crap out of mine, mangled at least one, but they don’t stop. Still using the mangled one lol. As for the McTickler, it’s the single most versatile pick in my arsenal. I’ve opened probably 95% of my Locks with just that profile. Plus that #1 hook is almost just as versatile as the McTickler. The #4 & #5, have deeper reaches than their other profiles, it appears anyway. Then you have the price, which I think for what you get is unbeatable. Definitely tough call. I like the set so much, I have one for carry, one for home and a back up…. Just saying lol

As a side note: just because I can open a lock with the McTickler, doesn’t always mean it was the best option.

@@Thief-d3c I’d probably call it zipping but raking works too. #1 hook kicks butt. Ever try it? Happy picking 🔒💪🏻

@ sorry, I’m new to picking and didn’t know the correct terminology. It’s my first set and I don’t want to risk damaging my picks this early on. Seems effective tho 👍 I do some zipping with the mctickler tho 😂 works great

@ Welcome to the community my friend. Here if you have any questions. Reaper Set is great. Wouldn’t hurt to have some 25 thousand picks and the different tensioners as a great complement like found in the Genesis Set. Good luck 🍀

@@PETEfromPA thank you!!! 💪

@@ricksanchez3204 Unfortunately I have them but haven’t put much time into them. You might just have inspired me to do so. I have the Multipick ones found in the Christiana Palmers set. Ever since I watched a video from LPL on a half diamond failing to have a high reach I kind of steered clear. Might be why deforest is so popular? Stay tuned lol.

@PETEfromPA yeah man last night I was fumbling around for almost an hour switching between three different diamonds half, sml, and LG. Then finally I thought of this short, pulled out my offset groove, which is an offset diamond with a little notch cut out of it to grab the pins basically, and then about 10 seconds.. Pop!! And it was because the diamonds had them right at the threshold of the sheer line and as you said just can't reach high enough but that offset groove.. SON! It's the real deal I've got another stronger version of the same thing coming in as well as an offset diamond and offset half ball going to give them a try as well. I'm sure you did not need that description but just in case someone else reads it and doesn't know

@@a8232-q2e Reagan was the Best.

@@frankj6631 As far as I know, the door stop is just that, to stop the door. It definitely can prevent a tool from doing this. I have another video showing this. Which I use the other side of the 5-1. Just happen to be an easy door since the gap and ‘tolerance’ was so terrible. I’m sure you noticed….

@@Therealsteamyturd11 Great question. The flipper just happens to have this capability. As for IPhone, don’t know but if it’s possible I’d love to learn how lol.

@ ok thanks

@@ricksanchez3204 Been tempted to get one but worried they get in the way. Maybe one day. Tried one yourself yet?

@PETEfromPA I'm currently waiting on mine from multipick and I will let you know my thoughts for whatever the thoughts of a noob are worth LOL I really like the concept in the idea though and I'll save you some time and research, the multipick tension ring is the only one worth buying. No matter where you get it from they're all relatively the same cost but none of them have the versatility or abilities that the tnt-20-v3 have so am I very humble opinion I would consider that to be the only tension ring on the market. And again I am a newbie but I'm very good at researching and referencing things and I'm speaking on behalf of the opinions of all the professionals out there. Get it made in Germany at worst it's only a $10 higher difference at best you're paying no different than you would for any other brand. Southord who I absolutely love has one but the pegs are fixed in place so there's only a few locks that it would really work on and then the others that are spring loaded you're stuck with the size rods that it comes with and if it doesn't work on something then too bad where is multi picks TR can fit into basically anything. Again I'll be back in probably a month to tell you when I think about it oh and another important thing to note that the real cool black tension ring on the Southord site says it's spring loaded but it's not, I mean yeah it has springs in it for the tension process but spring-loaded generally refers to the tension rods being able to be moved for different size keys they are fixed in place for a fact. Also if you have a discord or some kind of community channel somewhere I'd like to be a part of it you should put it out there more / create one

What’s sad is my front door is just a door knob, no deadbolt. Just a Kwikset lol. Haven’t changed it yet because the latch will need to be like a foot long. Old door…

​@@PETEfromPA old doors are strong doors tho fr

@ yes, I love my front door. Solid wood….

@@newhouselockandkey Wait what… bypass? Please please tell me lol. Love trying new things…

@@newhouselockandkey Just subscribed to your channel. Thanks.

@PETEfromPA I have a video on it but all you need is a med hook or a offset diamond hell even a safety pen and some pliers

@PETEfromPA thank you

I’m going to definitely check it out. Along with others for sure. Looks like you have tons of fun too. Thanks again.

@@martinjaramillo2429 That’s when I knew it was going to work so easily. Pulled out the phone and started recording lol.

@@martinjaramillo2429 looks like the door itself is even notched out a little at the latch….

@@kilowhiskyforge4337 Totally agree. Schlage is tougher I feel too. Not sure if I ever had a Kwikset with security pins. Have you?

@@PETEfromPA You actually be amazed with some more recent hardware, my first 3 locks were kwiksets off a regular house door, learned to pick on them, eventually gutted them and there was 2 spools in each, like in 2 and 5 or something. Never noticed and im not a great picker, bad tolerances is what it is, schlage is tighter

@@TinManReloading Long story short, it’s to keep unauthorized people from getting inside. Everything is locked at that place. Thermostate, cabinets etc….

@ As a dad, that makes sense. Trying to keep the kids out of snacks 😂👍🏻

@ Lol, yeah then there is the little ones. Maybe I shouldn’t teach them to pick locks yet ha!

It's funny but my new house once moved in and seen my closet locks from the inside. And there is a alarm system keypad in there from the past owner.

@@TheLockDudeAbides okay, see what I can do. Thanks.

@@Daniel-os9tb I think I have one laying around like that too. If it’s the same, should bypass the door latch as well. Might give it a try then! Thanks.

@@camronbay1 Great Idea. I’ll need to look into that. Thanks!

@@Locknlock-l5g I feel they are slightly easier picking clockwise. Can be tricky because the hook wants to slide down the keyway also. Other than that, fun. I encounter a lot of them and Kwikset.

@@PETEfromPAyeah I think that some locks are easier one way than the other. Kwiksets are pretty much non existent in the UK lol might have to look I to ordering a couple

@@Locknlock-l5gStill waiting to get a plug spinner. Kind of holding out for CI to release theirs.

@@Locknlock-l5g Funny you say that because trying to do it with a camera in your way did indeed cause me to do a few redos on this video for that very reason. Lol.

@@guidothumb2148 Always a good reminder. Thank you. I’m inspired to go mess around some more lol…

@@jeffandthings77 Definitely give it a try. Way too much fun for one person to have hehe. 🔒👍

@@PETEfromPA at what point do you apply tension? light while zipping or at the act of zipping like a bump???

@ For this lock, it was light tension into false set, even in false set its light tension until I know I have my binding pin, apply more tension and lift pin. Happy Picking! 👍🔒

It was fun to make and thanks for watching. 👍🔒

@@Mikishots Door was locked, thus I bypassed the latch.

@@Mikishots Door was locked, thus I bypassed the latch.

@@ricksanchez3204 You got it! Anytime. 🔒👍

@PETEfromPA I'm so glad you replied because I had already forgot whatever it was I learned and I might have to watch this again LOL not your fault though I got brain damage

@ Happy to help. Let me know what you want to see and maybe I can make it happen. I can only try lol.

@@PETEfromPA yeah it was that when you've got a false set, you got to release a little tension and look for your tensioner to lift up a bit and to not just release tension but to allow it to release as it needs to while still applying pressure so that you don't just lose all your pins. As far as anything specific I don't have anything off the top of my head bro I'm just enjoying your content whatever you put out is going to be beneficial to me so if I happen to think of something in the future I'll find your most recent video and put a suggestion out there have a great day Sir!

@@SorobanWorld I’m hoping to make a video on a door with a lock that’s very odd and this tool will be perfect. Not sure the lock can be picked. Stay tuned.

@@josephtravelstead9053 Many reasons. Lock outs or lock ins with children. Emergency entry etc….

@@danieltillman1500 Maybe not lol but that is probably what Covert Instruments is trying for. The folks over there are very interesting to say the least. Some of their videos are questionable lol.

@@Nick-v4r Yes, not only Police but FBI have my fingerprints. Background check/clearance. Hope I never need this tool in a real situation but I’ll be glad if I do. Hoping to make a video using this on a door that I had in mind when purchasing this tool. Stay tuned for more info. Thanks for watching!

@@joshmccraty7064 Okay, let me read this a few times and get back to you. Definitely interested in continuing this conversation. Thanks! 👍

@ Yes for sure!

@@ricksanchez3204 I think I made 3 cuts, couple of screws, one hole to saw then done lol. I did add other holes at the top to hold tensioners and picks. Also a magnet for the heck of it. Ended up small and moves around so I then made a bigger heavyweight one.

@@ricksanchez3204 BTW: Christian for future reference hehe ✌️🔒

​@@PETEfromPA I'm definitely copying this broheen!!!

​@@PETEfromPA same here but you know how quick everybody loses their mind these days 😂

@@ricksanchez3204 I used to use the Half Diamond a lot when I first started. Didn’t have many options then. Haven’t really done much lately but I do find it interesting CI is making a Deforest Half Diamond and that Christina Palmer includes Half Diamonds in her Multipick set. I’ve always wanted to try one on a dimple lock. Reminds me of a Dimple Pick Flag. I watched a video by LPL and he talked about the Half Diamond not having enough reach. I’ve had luck using them to Zip open locks too. Just another option maybe….?

​@@PETEfromPA awesome man I really appreciate the response I went ahead and just bought a couple of diamonds I mean two peaks is so cheap why not it's worth the exploration right? But I'm still torn on the reaper kit I watch the entirety of your review and I really want the turning tools+ #1&2 pick profiles, but given how much I dislike the medium hook I feel like I'm going to really dislike the three hooks in the McNally kit just because there's so much deeper I don't like the medium hook cuz it's a deep bend and I have a hard time not hanging it up

@ Don’t give up on deep hooks my friend! So funny how you wrote that. Literally was going to make a video today about not being discouraged to go deeper! Wish I did now, and that settles it, going to make that when I can. Deeper hooks can really make a job a lot faster and frankly less frustrating. As for the Reaper set, that #4 is working its way to being in my top three favorite hooks. Some locks you just need the deeper reach. I’m learning this the hard way. Keep an eye out for that video.

@@LidlessJunior LMFAO!!

Serves the same purpose. Either way you're gonna get an OPEN😂😅

@@DirtyDean-l8u I have not but thanks for letting me know. Definitely going to check it out. Thanks!

@PETEfromPA i was inspired to build something similar to what the Not So Civil Engineer built and after playing with it a while I starting thinking that what might need to be considered is a re-design of the the basic tool itself. I'm trying to figure out a way to thread the end of it 🤔 so that I can put specific tools on the end for what ever type of situation you might find. Crash bars for instance. He made a hook modification to the end of a UDT so that he could operate the crash bar. Thats what got me thinking about threading the end and makes specific tools.

@ That would be neat to be able to do. Wish I had more time lol. I’ll be keeping an eye out on you. Sounds like you could easily be into something very helpful. Have a work shop to work in?

@@PETEfromPA i haven't officially started a picking channel yet but plan to soon.

@ All good. My eye will be on you inventing some mods and making millions hehe.

@@mikehawk1011 Yes, I tried finding videos, not even CI made one, which I was surprised. I think you nailed it on the head with everything you said. Can’t wait to play around some more and see what ‘tricks’ I may find. Thanks for watching, happy picking and bypassing lol. 💪🏻🔒

@@Millsgold822 Thanks! This door knob can be picked also. What I learned though is pulling it down to unlock it does not spin the knob on the other side until unlocked then a second attempt will rotate both knobs at the same time. Not sure if that answers your question…?

@@PETEfromPA Yep! I see the thumb turn flip now. The captions covered it a bit for me. Nice work and cool setup

@@Dotslocks14 glad you like it buddy. Still more work to be done. Just got a new hole saw lol! 🔒💪🏻
