This episode is a pick and gut of the Abus 72/40 that I promised in Episode 41. After gutting the lock, I'll show you an interesting quirk of the bitting that makes the highest cut pins behave like zero lift pins.
Lock:
Abus - 72/40 Padlock
Tools used in this video:
SouthOrd - Short Hook w/Stainless Steel Handles - MP-07
Generic - TOK Pry Bar - .028"

Great presentation 🙏
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
Man do I need to get this lock! Hey great walk threw on this model 72 abus👏👏👏🤘😎. Have a ruko that actually has first pin so low ya can skip it and open with 5 pin pick. Blows my mind🤷🏼. Have tried so hard to get to work. It wont even overset😳🙄😝
These locks are fun little picks! Zero lift pins can be confusing. You feel like they need to be picked, but they won't set... Normally it's a low lift like you describe on your ruko, but sometimes they're a high lift like this lock. Weird.
Great video. I'm new to lock picking. I never would have thought about the driver pins being at the sheer line. I'm sure that lock would have frustrated me to no end!
Zero lift pins can even frustrate pockets with some experience. That's why Master Lock 410 LOTOs can be a trick; many have a zero lift.
The thing about these is that if you're looking at the key. You'll see that they're really high cuts and try to lift them and then get confused by the feedback from the lock. You start out in a false set, and pins 1 & 2 give no counter rotation.
Very confusing lock, but very fun pick!
Perfect. About to order one and try to tackle. Need the research here!
I'm glad this was timely for you! They're a fun little pick!
That was a great video Pugs! You did an amazing job, explaining and showing why that happens! This can be a slightly dangerous thing for pickers in some cases, I've had a brinks do this in the past but the driver was so short, the spring got caught in the shear line and damaged the lock! I've had a couple others as well do this without damage, thankfully! Thanks again for this wonderful video Pugs!
It's weird to find, huh?
With spool pins, it can make the feedback tricky. This lock starts in a false set because pin one is the only non-spool. Trying to set pin one or two doesn't give counter-rotation.
They can be tricky.
I've not had the spring issue. I've never had a driver sit that low.
@pugspickslocks It is weird! I wouldn't have expected it on an abus lol. I only have had the spring issue on that one brinks, thankfully but I've had a couple other locks do this as well. I've heard the master 19 can have that problem as well and the spring can get caught.
I need a 19!
@@pugspickslocks I agree! 👍
Just did this with my 72/40. Pins 1-3 are all zero cuts.
They're nifty little locks. If you don't move the unsolicited feedback, "zero cut" refers to the key in that there is no cut on the key. "Zero lift" is what I think you meant. "Zero lift" means a pin that doesn't need to be lifted at all, which corresponds to a maximum depth cut on the key.
@pugspickslocks oh sorry, the first three pins have little to no cut and the code on the key indicates they are "0" so they're zero cut (or near it) and zero lift.
Got it! You had your terminology right. Sorry for assuming the opposite!
"Zero cut" and "max lift" are the same things, just like "zero lift" and "max cut".
