Nice picking,Bill! Even if you won't take credit for the open, I'll vouch for the configuration of the lock. That was how Joshua and I sent it out to you. Joshua and I will make sure there is some alien technology in your next batch of locks. He's excited about doing another round. The steel pins were in there when I got the lock, and we upgraded the bypass protection, but that's all. I'll still give you credit for an open, and I'm sure more members of the Tribe would, as well. Your reputation is sterling.
+MortenErCrazy Thanks for the kind words. These weren't great challenge locks for Bill, but Joshua and I are going to make up a new batch with some evilness in them, hopefully sometime soon. All the credit goes to Bill, a great guy and skilled picker. He's got a great channel, and makes good security understandable for everyone. We owe Bill a debt of gratitude for helping us improve our security. Locksmithing is a good field to be in, hope he does well with it.
My 790 didn't have steel pins... I'm jealous (and pissed at the eBay seller)! Also, you mentioned Desmo locks... If you are interested, check out my video 141 for a "how to" primer on picking them. Tricky, but not as hard as you would think.
it's weird to have such a huge ass lock and to continue with just a single sided key we have a safe at work that has a four-sided key wouldn't that be safer?
Maybe, maybe not. Perhaps if they are high quality, but the overwhelming majority of the cross locks out there (4 sided keys) are real garbage (Chinese made). I have videos of picking them on my channel, as does Bill.
I've got 1100 series but this is the first time I've seen a 790 series..you're not kidding; that's one massive lock. Again nice picking Bill! p.s. don't worry about the slight bend in your pick, it doesn't seem to get in the way of you opening locks ;-)
How does that last pin even catch on anything with those slight serrations? I made some pins and the serations are like razors. Do those slight serrations even do anything?
That is a chunk of lock. I've got an el-cheapo hook that looks like that bent Gem. Still works, so it stays in the pouch. However I broke both my W rake and my Bogata the other day. May as well have broken my thumbs.
+Cristi Neagu I believe I've heard him explain before that the profile of the tip of the standard hook makes it easier to get around some bends in particularly paracentric key ways. And as for the gem he simply prefers that, so when that isn't going to work he goes to standard hook. Could also be a matter of reach. I could be wrong but this might give you a little insight if he doesn't see this and give the real answer.
I want to start lock picking but don't no where to get some pics for a beginner could u recommend one and they must deliver to the uk thanks from Tyler

Its mere presence opens all Master locks in a 200 metre radius.
Bills skills are amazing. He should get his own statue. Can u imagine? it would probably just be two hands.
nice weather for lockpicking... I can hear the birds chirping :))
After all the locks you have opened, no one should doubt that you opened it and didn't switch in a bunch of steel pins post opening it. Great video!
We gotta make America safe again! let's get the locks and make them HUGE!
great job Bill...never seen that model before.
The Godzilla of padlocks, and has the balls to prove it!
A little bit more engineering than your standard American locks, I have to say. Like to see you reassemble that beast.
LOL. That last ball was trying to be that last screw on the table that always ends up mocking you when you finish putting something back together..
Nice video. Did you get it back together? What is the third ball bearing good for?
Potti, the extra ball is because of its size. One ball isn't big enough to reach the shackle so they use 2.
+Potti314 he just dumps all the parts in the box when he mails it back.
+Papa Gleb OK, I see. Thanks.
+Casey Urquhart pretty sure he puts them back together or he wouldn't take so much time taking them apart carefully
Jacob Stoffer - Pretty sure he was joking dude. 😂

That sure is one beautiful American.
That is one HUGE lock! Wow.
I like shiny things too Bill. That's why I ended up in reform school...
By the way, I bought a a Panavise 350 and I LOVE it!
What a monster! It looks like a fun pick. Great video thanks.
A nice American Lock.
Stay safe. Stay legal.
And stay away from master locks
Cool looking lock for sure.
I would love too have it so much too practice with and thanks too the guy who give it
That was one hell of a big lock! lol
Holy American lock. Great video bill. Ty
that is a beast of a lock!
What a monstrous lock.
Beautiful lock! If Bill repinned it, I would trust it to lock almost anything.
You make it look easy, Bill.
Haha, you're the first one that's noticed.
Locks that large should have an equally large core/key.
+hellslave I now want a lock big enough to walk inside the keyhole.
+Videblu You'd be able to pick it with a broom.
CapnTates Or by hand, literally.
Videblu Tension with a car.
You really can’t make huge keys with at the same time tight key ways, if it’s too long it will bend or break.
Thank you for the videos. I really enjoy them, keep them coming 😊
Wow that thing is huge
love this huge American Lock™
That is a very cool lock
I would like to see you put it back together...
Wow that's a large lock.
That lock is massive.
Big lock looks like fun
Wow, it's huge !
I've been wanting that particular model for a long time now, that is their 3 inch x 1 inch model.
that thing is huge!
How does that last pin even catch on anything with those slight serrations? I made some pins and the serations are like razors. Do those slight serrations even do anything?
that is a big lock!!!!
A monster of a lock.
I love your handicap picks.
cool padlock, looks heavy duty...
Awesome lock. I want it!
Now that's a lock!
It's huge, as the actress said to the bishop!
Loving the videos!
Interesting, it looks key retaining and has wafers? Belts and Suspenders?
nice one Bill :)
Neat lock, I've gotta look for one
good stuff...🔓
That is a chunk of lock.
I've got an el-cheapo hook that looks like that bent Gem. Still works, so it stays in the pouch.
However I broke both my W rake and my Bogata the other day. May as well have broken my thumbs.
Bill, One problem with steel pins, if the lock is used outdoors steel pin can rust from the weather
Looks nice
Gunten Abend bosnianbill,great video, very entertaining.lol
that's a big lock!
I didn't see any springs
does it use magnetic repulsion?
ALL HAIL THE TACO!
Sweet lock
What a lock wow
Put that thing in a giant sock and flail it around and you got yourself a weapon!
what size/style are those dremel bits???
great lock
I have an American Lock H10, how would I go about opening that?
very nice big and shiny padlock !
thanks for guting this.
what is outro music ?
why is there 3 ball ?
thanks
Wow I want one
Why do you sometimes choose the Gem and other times the standard hook?
+Cristi Neagu I believe I've heard him explain before that the profile of the tip of the standard hook makes it easier to get around some bends in particularly paracentric key ways. And as for the gem he simply prefers that, so when that isn't going to work he goes to standard hook. Could also be a matter of reach.
I could be wrong but this might give you a little insight if he doesn't see this and give the real answer.
Nice lock
I do not know why im not getting updates on your new videos!!
Thanks bill Stay safe. Stay legal.
Yay Shiney !
what song did you use for the outtro?
That's a whole lotta steel....
cooool nice lock
I want to start lock picking but don't no where to get some pics for a beginner could u recommend one and they must deliver to the uk thanks from Tyler
Nice video, shame about the break. What's the third ball bearing for?
This was cool
10:33 "shiny balls" :)
now thats a lock ;)
So what was that third ball bearing for?
Read my reply above.
Hey Bill, i dont see any vids of picking the master lock 643dwd. its the word combo, but no access for a decoder. can this be done? how to?
Very nice
Were they standard pins with the lock or had they been changed?
+AccurateProperty They were as pinned from the factory
+Nuclearlocksmith Thank you for answering.
that's a lot of steel balls :-P
That's a big ass lock
nice lock
Awesome.
WOW!
man that lock is his cool it's a big one though
you said shiny balls. my inner teenager giggles even now.
heavy duty man!
Oh! So you should only get "1 click" per pin at a time, to try to avoid over-setting a serrated pin. Thanks.
Huge! What would you put that on??
;) I take it it didn't fit on your mother? Hah! Cheers!
looks like a best 81b or 91b padlock
what a lock
it looks funny that it's a huge lock, huge shackle, and then the normal key hole looks so tiny.
Y'all know that firefighters got their own way of getting into these of locks? And it's not the Jaws of Life.
+Brent Coley you have my attention. I'd use a cordless power saw.
ok body is big.but is the shackle larger than a stock too?
nice!!!
