I have the Lishi for them inbound to CI. I’ll feature one after they arrive. I’ve opened several of these in the past. They are not unpickable at all. The only significant complication is that it needs to be picked twice to open, and once more to relock it.
I don't know about picking, but I've been turned away by multiple key cutters for new keys to my Civic. One place couldn't copy the RFID and another couldn't cut the pattern.
Obviously your channel is doing well but I had a look today and didn't realize it was doing THAT well. You're averaging about 1.5 million views per day!! That's awesome! 👍🏻
You don't need to wait for the video, he's gonna use the same exact technique with the same tool. Go buy the right one on his website, that's what he wants you to do anyway! ;)
I used to work for an ambulance company with a large fleet of chevy vans with this style lock. At the time I drove a 2012 Silverado, and my key would open every single vehicle in the fleet with only a slight jiggle. Doesn't really inspire confidence, but came in handy since we locked ourselves out all the time.
Did that with mine when I first bought it, as my intention was to change the locks. Once I got the lock out of the door, I decided to just leave it out and never lock my truck since I don't keep anything of value in it and being a 25 year-old truck it never looked like something that was worth stealing.
Today I dreamed of picking a lock. I've never picked a lock in real life, but in my dream it worked pretty well. The lock had five pins, two of which were spools. The lock was so easy that I only needed a paperclip. Though I don't remember how I tensioned the core, I think I used mind power (but I definitely remember that I tensioned the core somehow, because I noticed counter rotation when I got to the spools). I am clearly watching too many lock picking videos.
RE: Picking the ignition. As someone who had trouble finding a locksmith in my area that would touch a car ignition out of policy, Yes it would be useful to have a tool for this. In my case I needed to move an old Jeep Pickup, my own, who's keys were lost decades ago. To load it on a trailer we needed the steering lock disabled and steerable to unload at a garage.
And if its an auto it will most likely have a transmission lock bypass that you will have to find. Obviously if its a standard you can just take it out of gear
You are one of the best channels on TH-cam, and are a complete anomaly. Most videos don’t include many, if any edits, they are always short and to the point, titles and thumbnails don’t include any click bait. Those things are things that most other TH-camrs take as law, and have to include in every video, but you shatter that trend, and on top of that, have one of the best YT communities on the platform for it. Thank you for being a lock picking god.
I don't want this to come off as hate but I miss you doing challenge locks and similar types of videos because at times your new videos seem to feel like ads for your website even if you don't mean to make them. I love your content but recently your videos have had a different vibe from when you started and I miss the old style videos! Would love to see challenge locks videos make a comeback. No hate just my two cents. 🙂
I wish he would start picking locks in real world situations. Pick a lock that is actually locked to a bike and at an awkward angle and you aren't able to hold it the ideal way. I understand for this video it was for demonstration, but most of that flat turning side of the tool is technically sticking through the car door.
Picking Ignitions with Lishi tools is a valid requirement in the trade. Often a car will have door locks original, and a replacement steering column with unknown key bitting. When a customer loses all keys, we then need to pick to remove/decode the Ignition. There are special "IGN" capable Lishi tools for this job, in most common profiles.
I got bored with bypassing combo locks, padlocks and now you've peaked my interest with unlocking car doors. Time to buy, practice then head off to /r/lockpicking.
My aunt had an 80's suburban way back. She locked her keys in and had to call a locksmith. He came and unlocked it with a penny. They were all flawed, no picking needed, just tension.
@LockPickingLawyer As always, another enjoyable video. I'm liking the way you are doing these weekly videos on auto locks now. Sincerely, a longtime fan.
You always say things like "I'm using the appropriate tool". How do you know beforehand which lockpicking tool to pick (pun intended)? What is the balance between product knowledge, on-sight-information and trial-and-error? Would love to see a video about that process.
Because there are published lists with which years and models of car have which type of lock and which type of Lishi tool you need to open them. More difficult on houses of course but the name brand locks usually feature branding or distinctive design features (such as the shape of the keyway) and I guess that over time you get to learn which locks need special tools or techniques when your standard methods don't work...
That just comes down to experience and knowledge gained by self-guided research. I mean, if you see a lock that looks like it's a disk detainer, you'll reach for you DD pick. If you see a masterlock, you'll grab your pick and rake or single pin it. If you see a Chevy truck lock, you'll go grab your lishi tool made for chevy locks...
My 2000 Chevy Blazer had the exact same door/ignition key as one of my co-workers (she drove the exact same color/model as I did). This worked out very well for her, as she regularly locked her keys in her car. The first time she discovered this, she was in a panic as the thought someone stole the child seat from her car.
"You will, of course, never be picking the ignition, because it requires a coded radio frequency chip". I'd like to offer a counter example. Afaik, you don't need to stick the original key in the ignition, as long as you have the correct coded radio chip within reading distance. So a broken key with intact chip, would work perfectly to save your car when you've broken the only key in half. You pick the ignition with the broken key within reading distance, take the core out and switch it out for a new one. Than you stick the original key under the dashboard with some tape, and your car is as good as new.
I’ve locked the keys in my 2010 Chevy work van multiple times and you literally just put the tip of a flat head in the lock, give it a slight bump, turn it, and you’re in. It’s crazy how easy it is, I can break into it in under 5 seconds lol
Our old '96 chevy was able to be "picked" open with a multitool when we bought it. In reality it was stick the small flat head in the lock barely jiggle it and twist.
If you pick the ignition switch, you can release the steering wheel lock and shifter lock to steer and roll/tow the vehicle away. The lack of RFID chip will only prevent the vehicle from starting and/or running. Someone with extensive electrical knowledge about the specific car may be able to get it running by bypassing the anti-theft system via wiring, but without unlocking the steering wheel and shifter locks somehow they still aren’t going to be driving it away.
I kind of want to see one of these picked with less-specialized tools, just because it seems unlikely a thief would be carrying these around given their cost. Although it occurs to me that a thief would be more likely to smash the window...
Like your video’s, but its pretty clear now that this tool you are using is very good at opening door locks. I’d like to see some different methods because these doorlock video’s are very similar.
I can't understand why everyone is complaining about this. 50% of all his videos are exactly the same. How his picking a lock with a tension rod and a pick a million times more different or interesting than this. It's not.
at this point we can just conclude, car locks are unsurprisingly made as costcutting as they get. more interestingly: what can the enduser actually do, to reinforce their car-locks? can't just swap them like a euro-cylinder best regards from germany :)
Use a Public Key system, encoded on an ASIC embedded in the key. Car challenges, "If you are the right key, you'll return the correct answer for Serial Number 19520311 at time()". Key replies "0042". Car unlocks. The answer, one second later, would be different.
@@Carterthielftw_ I recommend against self-installation of kill switches. First, they can be very badly installed, causing the car to intermittently not start; secondly, they make it very difficult to lend your car to the wife, neighbor, or in-laws when necessary; and third, they can be exceedingly easy to bypass ... security through obscurity. In other words, they make it harder for you to use your car than they make it for a thief.
Can you pick one of these without the lishi tool? Obviously, "the right tool for the job" situation, but it would be nice to see just how much of a difference the right tool makes .
I'm sure he could. But that would distract from the now commercialized LPL youtube experience. It seems to me he now only wishes to show those videos that push his products at his website. This used to be a great channel to watch. Not so much any more.
@@jayhinds3937 hmm, I disagree. I think his audience demanded his products. The reason he pitches his stuff is because he uses his stuff and he does, here. Also, like yesterday he picked a lock with a red bull can sliver.
He could, it's a bit harder because of the shutter, but otherwise it's the same method and feel as he would get using a standard pick and tension tool.
Although I know it might be a challenge to find the right situation (car & lock) but I'd like to see Mr. LPL do one of these car locks "in the wild". Not at all to say he'd have any issues, but doing this in a windy parking lot while crouching next to a car would be quite different than doing it a controlled "lab" environment.
Sure, Lishi tools are cool, but videos featuring them feel way too similar to each other since they're basically a lock picking cheat code. I understand the need to sell them, but imho you should feature traditional lockpicking alongside them to make the videos more interesting to watch
I'm not suggesting to stop showing Lishi tools entirely, I'm talking about featuring them and traditional picking in the same video Like, Lishi tools first for the advertising and traditional lock picking later for the entertainment I know that most of his videos don't feature Lishi tools. It's not like I'm gonna unsubscribe or anything, I just don't enjoy the Lishi tools videos anymore
If you have a scan tool that can program a new key you CAN pick the ignition with a blank chip key, just holt it close to the ignition while programing it and use the lichi tool to pick it
I’d be curious if any of these are susceptible to “jigglers” Most cheaper wafer locks can be opened quickly with one of the many wave cut jugglers but I’m wondering if the strong springs and the tighter tolerances on auto locks would pose a difficulty.
@@mattcat231 Don't do that... Picking a lock puts a lot of stress on it relative to using a key. You're going to feel like an idiot when your pick breaks in the lock or the lock stops working and you have to explain to the locksmith what happened... Ask me how I know...
@@alexandrezani Well, since its not something I would do on a daily basis, and a one time thing just to satisfy curiosity, and the vehicle I used was my own personal vehicle, the original poster basically just asked if it could be done. So i got a long wiper insert for tension, and was able to use a jiggler pick to open the door lock. If my jiggler broke off in the lock, or anything got damaged, I would just take the tumbler apart to fix my damage or retrieve a broken pick. Been locksporting for about 12 years.
@@alexandrezani "Don't pick a lock you rely on" but more important and relevant quote: "rules are made to be broken" Know the suggestions, but know when you can break them. saying "never pick a real life lock" is too strict of a rule and gives you massive blindspots to the realities of real locks in the wild. find the balance.
There is still a point to picking the ignition key. One of the uses of Lishis is to decode the lock. There are tools to reprogram the transponder, but first you need a key that operates the ignition cylinder.
A 10 second search on his youtube channel got me to the videos [372], [367] and [852]. All car locks. All picked by hand. I don't pick myself so I don't know if they are majorly different but they are also wafer cores.
I've been a loyal fan of LPL. I watch every video that gets released, and I'm subscribed with the bell set to All. But the way the comments have been handled in this video (critical ones getting deleted) is leading me to unsubscribe. A mild degradation in content has occurred ever since the launch of Covert Instruments. The community is trying to provide constructive feedback about what we'd like to see... what brought us here in the first place, and if this is devolving from a highly entertaining, educational channel, to repetitive ads for tools that we can't even critique, then it's a really sad day.
I feel exactly the same. I've been a huge fan and that's what got me into picking. But when you can't even write a constructif critique without behing muted, you know something is wrong.
Thank you lpl ever since I've bought your tools and watched your tutorials I became rich going trough 5 to 10 locks each nights without getting caught.
Ever see the movie "the panic room"? Just imagine, everyone is safely tucked away in their heavy duty fortress when all of a sudden you hear "ahh a nice click of that guy, two feels set, three is binding and feels set, four has a false set. Back to the beginning one is set, two, three, and four is set and we got this panic room door open"
Nice, however the correct Lishi for this lock is the B111(Yeah, while you may be able to pick the lock with this tool, you couldn’t properly decode it)
the great thing about the Lishi lockpicks is, that people who have never picked a lock - like me - can get a brilliant visual what LPL means when he talks about binding, a pin feeling set and how the cuts in the keys correspond to the lengths of the pins. plus the lishi tools are not the only specialized picks LPL uses. there's also the "pick that bosnian bill and I made" for disc detainer cores.
@@ddoc8573 The difference is that pick costs less than one Lishi and does a huge amount of disc detainer locks. The Lishi tools are super expensive and literally only work on one lock type. The Lishi tools are specialized lock picks, the pick you're referring to is just a general purpose picking tool, just like a standard pick or rake.
One thing to note: if you use the door key on a Silverado/Sierra without the electronic key fob, it will set off the vehicle alarm as soon as the door is opened, EVEN if you use the correct factory key, let alone a pick. I can't vouch for the security on the keyless system, I believe it's a rolling code system which is _moderately_ secure (no, don't wrap keyfobs in foil unless you're in idiot).
How is watching him pick the lock in 3 seconds manually any more interesting than watching him use a tool. It's not. And if you want to watch him pick manually, go watch the other 1000+ videos where he does.
LPL videos seem to be getting shorter. I expect that future videos will continue this trend, and eventually LPL will just show a picture of a lock garnering thousands of views of him picking using telekinesis.
There might be many investments out there but if profit must be considered,which is the actual sole of investment, I will advice you to go into bitcoin trading because it has higher profit than most investment.

oh hey, I got that exact pick to play my hand at my truck door. LPL always makes it look easier than it is, but I also only tried once when it was already dark out.
A 10 second search on his youtube channel got me to the videos [372], [367] and [852]. All car locks. All picked by hand. I don't pick myself so I don't know if they are majorly different but they are also wafer cores. it took a bit longer, but it was still very fast
I used to watch this guy because of his craft. Now with the tools, it seems like he took his craftiness, put it in the tools. Which is cool, but I miss watching because of his skill and prowess
You might be picking the ignition if you have a broken key. I took the wafers out of my Honda van's ignition when it started jamming, since even with no wafers you still need the key to move the barrel out of the off position.
@LPL I, and I assume many others, would love to see in situ pickings. It's a lot easier to pick a lock in a clamp than a lock in the wild (or even a simulated wild of your backyard).
The hate isn't toward the tool itself, but the videos we get out of them. It feels like the goal behind this series is to sell these tools from his website.
@@NeoTechni Same, it shows you visually what he is talking about when he says a pin is binding or is set etc. Not only that, hearing the pins click is satisfying.
LockPickingLawyer, you're statement 58 seconds in is incorrect - ignition cylinders need picked all the time. Regardless of ability to start the vehicle, picking the ignition unlocks the steering column, allowing the wheels to steer, and in many cases (like this GMT900 truck), the transmission can be taken out of Park via the steering column instead of crawling under the truck. This is extremely useful in a repair shop setting or tow situation.
because of the low skill involved with this specialty tool, it feels a little bit like it's publicity for your site (where you sell the tools). I'd love to at least be able to see the locks being picked with traditional tools, then with one of these.. would give a sense of comparison and also an idea of how hard it would be without the tools. I guess ultimately that would be even better publicity, but with added value for the viewer
@@Dee-nonamnamrson8718 that's true, but i's still like to see the difference between old school and this lishee tool.. MOST of the reason I come here is to see the skill of LPL at work.
It would be very interesting to see you pick a car lock with the Tool you use in this video, and after pick it normally and then compare how much more difficult it is using a standard pick and tension wrench. I dont have any experience with picking locks, but perhaps this would be a fun experience or a challenge
Copying those keys was always... fun because on the second side there is very little for the vise to hold and so they'd often come out at high speed, usually aimed directly at one's forehead.

RE: Picking the ignition. As someone who had trouble finding a locksmith in my area that would touch a car ignition out of policy, Yes it would be useful to have a tool for this. In my case I needed to move an old Jeep Pickup, my own, who's keys were lost decades ago. To load it on a trailer we needed the steering lock disabled and steerable to unload at a garage.
And if its an auto it will most likely have a transmission lock bypass that you will have to find. Obviously if its a standard you can just take it out of gear
You can put it on a wheel dolly to load and unload it.

You are one of the best channels on TH-cam, and are a complete anomaly. Most videos don’t include many, if any edits, they are always short and to the point, titles and thumbnails don’t include any click bait. Those things are things that most other TH-camrs take as law, and have to include in every video, but you shatter that trend, and on top of that, have one of the best YT communities on the platform for it. Thank you for being a lock picking god.
Man, those Lishi devices almost feels like cheating.
LPL has become a tele shopping channel lately.... He's only pitching his Lishi Tool shop
They are cheating.
I find every video more and more soothing. Thanks again, from a humble fan.
I don't want this to come off as hate but I miss you doing challenge locks and similar types of videos because at times your new videos seem to feel like ads for your website even if you don't mean to make them. I love your content but recently your videos have had a different vibe from when you started and I miss the old style videos! Would love to see challenge locks videos make a comeback. No hate just my two cents. 🙂
I wish he would start picking locks in real world situations. Pick a lock that is actually locked to a bike and at an awkward angle and you aren't able to hold it the ideal way. I understand for this video it was for demonstration, but most of that flat turning side of the tool is technically sticking through the car door.
Part of my morning routine is having my first sips of coffee and watching you new video. TY
Dude, these trucks get lifted plenty enough already, don’t salt the wounds 😂
Your consistency is amazing.
Must have been a fluke, LPL didn’t do it a second time to prove it. 😂🤣😂
Yep
Being frozen solid in the winter is a far better security measure for this lock than anything the manufacturer could ever come up with.

Picking Ignitions with Lishi tools is a valid requirement in the trade.
Often a car will have door locks original, and a replacement steering column with unknown key bitting.
When a customer loses all keys, we then need to pick to remove/decode the Ignition.
There are special "IGN" capable Lishi tools for this job, in most common profiles.
How do those tools work? I don't know anything about RFID chips, but you're able to pick the ignitions that require those chips?

@LockPickingLawyer As always, another enjoyable video. I'm liking the way you are doing these weekly videos on auto locks now.
Sincerely, a longtime fan.
You always say things like "I'm using the appropriate tool". How do you know beforehand which lockpicking tool to pick (pun intended)? What is the balance between product knowledge, on-sight-information and trial-and-error? Would love to see a video about that process.
Because there are published lists with which years and models of car have which type of lock and which type of Lishi tool you need to open them. More difficult on houses of course but the name brand locks usually feature branding or distinctive design features (such as the shape of the keyway) and I guess that over time you get to learn which locks need special tools or techniques when your standard methods don't work...
That just comes down to experience and knowledge gained by self-guided research. I mean, if you see a lock that looks like it's a disk detainer, you'll reach for you DD pick. If you see a masterlock, you'll grab your pick and rake or single pin it. If you see a Chevy truck lock, you'll go grab your lishi tool made for chevy locks...
Having movies reviewed by an expert is all the rage on TH-cam, I would love to see the LL do some expert reviews on lock picking in movies.
Got to say, the Lishi tool has taken out all the fun of watching locks picked.
My 2000 Chevy Blazer had the exact same door/ignition key as one of my co-workers (she drove the exact same color/model as I did). This worked out very well for her, as she regularly locked her keys in her car. The first time she discovered this, she was in a panic as the thought someone stole the child seat from her car.
"You will, of course, never be picking the ignition, because it requires a coded radio frequency chip". I'd like to offer a counter example. Afaik, you don't need to stick the original key in the ignition, as long as you have the correct coded radio chip within reading distance. So a broken key with intact chip, would work perfectly to save your car when you've broken the only key in half. You pick the ignition with the broken key within reading distance, take the core out and switch it out for a new one. Than you stick the original key under the dashboard with some tape, and your car is as good as new.
At least on my honda, having broken my key in half, nothing short of reassembling the key would get the RFID to read.
The issue with that is the fact that reading distance on RFID is usually about 4", since the chip is quite small on the car key its likely even less.
Lishi pick/decoders are awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Jokes on you, once you get in nothing works and my door handles are snapped off. I'll find you in the morning
I’ve locked the keys in my 2010 Chevy work van multiple times and you literally just put the tip of a flat head in the lock, give it a slight bump, turn it, and you’re in. It’s crazy how easy it is, I can break into it in under 5 seconds lol

"Nope. Don't have a grand to spare."
Yeah, I don't know how many different ones there are but the ones CI sells are between $44 - $80 each
If you pick the ignition switch, you can release the steering wheel lock and shifter lock to steer and roll/tow the vehicle away. The lack of RFID chip will only prevent the vehicle from starting and/or running. Someone with extensive electrical knowledge about the specific car may be able to get it running by bypassing the anti-theft system via wiring, but without unlocking the steering wheel and shifter locks somehow they still aren’t going to be driving it away.
I kind of want to see one of these picked with less-specialized tools, just because it seems unlikely a thief would be carrying these around given their cost. Although it occurs to me that a thief would be more likely to smash the window...
They cost like $30 max
They are on Amazon for $40
@@rnemovr59 on AliExpress for 20€ which is idk what in dollars
Like your video’s, but its pretty clear now that this tool you are using is very good at opening door locks. I’d like to see some different methods because these doorlock video’s are very similar.
I can't understand why everyone is complaining about this. 50% of all his videos are exactly the same. How his picking a lock with a tension rod and a pick a million times more different or interesting than this. It's not.
We want to see you try more car locks without the Lishi tool to see other methods of attack!
GM has improved the locks a bit. Years ago, the key for my sister's Chevy worked in my Pontiac. My Pontiac key worked in a friend's Buick.
at this point we can just conclude, car locks are unsurprisingly made as costcutting as they get.
more interestingly: what can the enduser actually do, to reinforce their car-locks? can't just swap them like a euro-cylinder
best regards from germany :)
Just don't bother. They won't start your car anyways unless they have a signal repeater to amplify the cripted signal from your car key.
Use a Public Key system, encoded on an ASIC embedded in the key.
Car challenges, "If you are the right key, you'll return the correct answer for Serial Number 19520311 at time()". Key replies "0042". Car unlocks. The answer, one second later, would be different.
Just install a kill switch, it costs just $15
@@R4M_Tommy easy enough to get
@@Carterthielftw_ I recommend against self-installation of kill switches. First, they can be very badly installed, causing the car to intermittently not start; secondly, they make it very difficult to lend your car to the wife, neighbor, or in-laws when necessary; and third, they can be exceedingly easy to bypass ... security through obscurity. In other words, they make it harder for you to use your car than they make it for a thief.
Hey LPL I just wanna thank you for getting me 3 cars! I never knew you were so kind
Can you pick one of these without the lishi tool? Obviously, "the right tool for the job" situation, but it would be nice to see just how much of a difference the right tool makes .
I'm sure he could. But that would distract from the now commercialized LPL youtube experience. It seems to me he now only wishes to show those videos that push his products at his website. This used to be a great channel to watch. Not so much any more.
@@jayhinds3937 hmm, I disagree. I think his audience demanded his products. The reason he pitches his stuff is because he uses his stuff and he does, here. Also, like yesterday he picked a lock with a red bull can sliver.
He could, it's a bit harder because of the shutter, but otherwise it's the same method and feel as he would get using a standard pick and tension tool.
Although I know it might be a challenge to find the right situation (car & lock) but I'd like to see Mr. LPL do one of these car locks "in the wild". Not at all to say he'd have any issues, but doing this in a windy parking lot while crouching next to a car would be quite different than doing it a controlled "lab" environment.
Sure, Lishi tools are cool, but videos featuring them feel way too similar to each other since they're basically a lock picking cheat code. I understand the need to sell them, but imho you should feature traditional lockpicking alongside them to make the videos more interesting to watch
Not a lot of people would see them.
And the other 4 days of lock picking are more traditional.
I'm not suggesting to stop showing Lishi tools entirely, I'm talking about featuring them and traditional picking in the same video
Like, Lishi tools first for the advertising and traditional lock picking later for the entertainment
I know that most of his videos don't feature Lishi tools. It's not like I'm gonna unsubscribe or anything, I just don't enjoy the Lishi tools videos anymore
If you have a scan tool that can program a new key you CAN pick the ignition with a blank chip key, just holt it close to the ignition while programing it and use the lichi tool to pick it
I’d be curious if any of these are susceptible to “jigglers”
Most cheaper wafer locks can be opened quickly with one of the many wave cut jugglers but I’m wondering if the strong springs and the tighter tolerances on auto locks would pose a difficulty.
out of curiosity, I just jiggled open the door locks on my 02 Silverado, so yes, it can be done
@@mattcat231 Don't do that... Picking a lock puts a lot of stress on it relative to using a key. You're going to feel like an idiot when your pick breaks in the lock or the lock stops working and you have to explain to the locksmith what happened... Ask me how I know...
@@alexandrezani Well, since its not something I would do on a daily basis, and a one time thing just to satisfy curiosity, and the vehicle I used was my own personal vehicle, the original poster basically just asked if it could be done. So i got a long wiper insert for tension, and was able to use a jiggler pick to open the door lock. If my jiggler broke off in the lock, or anything got damaged, I would just take the tumbler apart to fix my damage or retrieve a broken pick. Been locksporting for about 12 years.

"Don't pick a lock you rely on"
but more important and relevant quote: "rules are made to be broken"
Know the suggestions, but know when you can break them. saying "never pick a real life lock" is too strict of a rule and gives you massive blindspots to the realities of real locks in the wild. find the balance.
@@mattcat231 I appreciate it!
There is still a point to picking the ignition key. One of the uses of Lishis is to decode the lock. There are tools to reprogram the transponder, but first you need a key that operates the ignition cylinder.
@LPL, would love to see you 'struggle' after using the lishy. Have you single pin picked a car lock before in previous videos?
A 10 second search on his youtube channel got me to the videos [372], [367] and [852]. All car locks. All picked by hand. I don't pick myself so I don't know if they are majorly different but they are also wafer cores.
Actually on the Silverado that lock is from, it uses Passlock 2 not Passkey 3. So you can absolutely pick it and start it.
You have some great videos. I would love to see you pick it without a lishi tool. That would be fun if it's even possible 😉.
I miss the disassembly videos. Hope you've got some in the pipeline!
I've been a loyal fan of LPL. I watch every video that gets released, and I'm subscribed with the bell set to All. But the way the comments have been handled in this video (critical ones getting deleted) is leading me to unsubscribe. A mild degradation in content has occurred ever since the launch of Covert Instruments. The community is trying to provide constructive feedback about what we'd like to see... what brought us here in the first place, and if this is devolving from a highly entertaining, educational channel, to repetitive ads for tools that we can't even critique, then it's a really sad day.
I feel exactly the same. I've been a huge fan and that's what got me into picking. But when you can't even write a constructif critique without behing muted, you know something is wrong.

Nice, however the correct Lishi for this lock is the B111(Yeah, while you may be able to pick the lock with this tool, you couldn’t properly decode it)
Whilst these leashy tools are great to actually open the lock it does make for boring content.
true
the great thing about the Lishi lockpicks is, that people who have never picked a lock - like me - can get a brilliant visual what LPL means when he talks about binding, a pin feeling set and how the cuts in the keys correspond to the lengths of the pins.
plus the lishi tools are not the only specialized picks LPL uses. there's also the "pick that bosnian bill and I made" for disc detainer cores.
@@ddoc8573 The difference is that pick costs less than one Lishi and does a huge amount of disc detainer locks. The Lishi tools are super expensive and literally only work on one lock type. The Lishi tools are specialized lock picks, the pick you're referring to is just a general purpose picking tool, just like a standard pick or rake.
One thing to note: if you use the door key on a Silverado/Sierra without the electronic key fob, it will set off the vehicle alarm as soon as the door is opened, EVEN if you use the correct factory key, let alone a pick. I can't vouch for the security on the keyless system, I believe it's a rolling code system which is _moderately_ secure (no, don't wrap keyfobs in foil unless you're in idiot).
The Lishi tool makes it far too easy and boring to watch. Featured too many times now. Would like to see LPL manually picking these.
How is watching him pick the lock in 3 seconds manually any more interesting than watching him use a tool. It's not. And if you want to watch him pick manually, go watch the other 1000+ videos where he does.
But those weren't car locks
Would love to see a comparison video between picking a car lock with a designated leshy tool and using standard pick and tension wrench.
i heard the LPL is so skilled he can even pick his friends nose without him even noticing
Like many other people have commented, I'd like to see one of these picked without a lishi tool! It would be interesting to see.
LPL videos seem to be getting shorter. I expect that future videos will continue this trend, and eventually LPL will just show a picture of a lock garnering thousands of views of him picking using telekinesis.

You might be picking the ignition if you have a broken key.
I took the wafers out of my Honda van's ignition when it started jamming, since even with no wafers you still need the key to move the barrel out of the off position.
A question about picking ignition cylinders. Would it be possible to “normally” pick an older car’s ignition that doesn’t require a chip??
It would. But in those cars you could also just cross the wires and skip the lock entirely.
@LPL I, and I assume many others, would love to see in situ pickings. It's a lot easier to pick a lock in a clamp than a lock in the wild (or even a simulated wild of your backyard).
Anyone else just surprised LPL found a post 2008 Chevy automotive part that still works?
Finally, I needed a truck.
So much hate for this tool in the comments 😂, but I get where you're all coming from similar to the slash resistant videos
The hate isn't toward the tool itself, but the videos we get out of them. It feels like the goal behind this series is to sell these tools from his website.
which is ironic cause the tool has taught me more about picking than watching him do it from the outside with regular tools has.
@@NeoTechni Same, it shows you visually what he is talking about when he says a pin is binding or is set etc. Not only that, hearing the pins click is satisfying.
LockPickingLawyer, you're statement 58 seconds in is incorrect - ignition cylinders need picked all the time. Regardless of ability to start the vehicle, picking the ignition unlocks the steering column, allowing the wheels to steer, and in many cases (like this GMT900 truck), the transmission can be taken out of Park via the steering column instead of crawling under the truck. This is extremely useful in a repair shop setting or tow situation.
because of the low skill involved with this specialty tool, it feels a little bit like it's publicity for your site (where you sell the tools). I'd love to at least be able to see the locks being picked with traditional tools, then with one of these.. would give a sense of comparison and also an idea of how hard it would be without the tools.
I guess ultimately that would be even better publicity, but with added value for the viewer
