Unrelated question: What is your take on Lishi tools that I keep seeing? It seems like there are very specific types for specific locks. Have you tried them out yet?
@@stewsmith3536 I have one for American locks, and I have mixed feelings. I think they are really cool engineering and super small form factor, but they are kinda to niche because they are limited to one type of lock. I'd say a good set of picks and tension tools are much more useful/versatile. That being said, I have friends that love them for vehicle door locks, but I personally haven't played with those locks though. Hope this helps
@@stewsmith3536 Always glad to help where I can. Still have the padlock video I plan to do. Just haven't had time to machine them open to show the inside.
Well presented!
