I finally get my hands on a plug spinner! One of those tools that when you need one, you wish you had one! 😁 let me know what you think of this one from Multipick in the comments 😃👍
Honestly the design is nice to the eye but sh*t to use... Why did they make the front part round?!?!? You can hardly tension that thing... Why didn´t they put some kind of jimping on it? The rubber rings do nothing.... I love Multipick, but everyone telling me that this is easy to use as a locksmith is a fkking Fanboy! Especially when WD40 comes into play...
Small correction, perhaps: It seems to rotate by 90°, not 180°, which does make more sense, if you think about it. It's hard to tell on this small screen, so please correct me if I'm wrong. That said, it's an excellent idea, so thank-you for the demonstration.
@@clintsingleton3846 what i´ve meant is slippery greasy stuff in general... if you have slippery fingers this thing is a pain in the a$$ to twist and tension...
Great explanation of how a plug spinner works and what it’s used are. I’ve never used one before and I never really knew what they were used for. It looks like a very well built and designed tool.
Yet again a quality product from Multipick. You can visibly see the effort that's gone into the design. I haven't used a plug spinner before but do understand the concept behind it. Great review and demos. I never thought of using one on a cross lock, I guess that's because I never thought that it would work on one. People say it's unrealistic to pick cross locks several times as it slows down the picking to get an open. Well, using one of these shows that you only need to pick it once and then let the plug spinner do the rest.
@@Mex_the_Fox I actually thought that when observing the tool being used. The larger back part looks ok to grip because of its shape. The smaller front piece is small and doesn't look like it gives much grip for the fingers. The Multipick plug spinner looks like a solid tool and strong, not flimsy. That's what I meant by my comment. 😁
@@roysammons2445 that's what I wanted to say... I own it but I modified the front part. I removed the rubber rings and gave it two clean but deep finger grooves... Honestly, without that mod, I'd prefer any 15$ tool over this one...
I absolutely love this tool! No plastic, no accidentally going off. You have to mean it. - However; I wish they had milled a flat area (from the factory) to aid in charging this left or right with the aid of a wrench. This thing has a tight spring. Even lubed it up a few times thinking this might help. ..... Still, I wouldn't have any other plug spinner in my bag! Pick whichever direction you need, then go! Or of you have to turn a cylinder multiple times to open the mechanism, no problem!! Just Flip-It!
Great review and demonstration on plug spinners. I have two different styles both Chinese built. They work Just fine but nothing like the MultiPick for style and ease of use.
I've wanted a plug spinner for quite some time now, just to have. I like the look of the multi pick one. Only reason I haven't invested in one is mainly because of how little use it would see as a hobbyist picker. Good review, have a great weekend.
@@LockNoob what's kind of ironic? Thursday I picked up a padlock, just a cheap one from princess auto, the bitting is pretty decent on it, what I liked the most is its surprisingly rekeyable with a shielded shackle. I can pick it backwards quickly, be darned if I can get it picked clockwise yet though. Hahaha. I guess I do in fact need a spinner in my collection now.
I have a plug spinner that I keep with me while I am rekeying residential or anyplace. that is seriously cool. I do not even know if I would want to use that thing. It needs to be on my mantle in a little glass case with a turntable..
Nice review, but it's still questionable how often common locksporter will use this tool? If you use it once in 40-50 locks, then it is better for that amount of money to buy a 5-6 different lock picks...
Obijanje Brave yeah, it’s one of those nice to have tools. As a locksmith it’s indispensable, as a locksporter maybe not as much. I’m glad that I have one though, for those scenarios where they are needed. I guess I pick a lot of locks though 🤷♂️😃
Beautiful spinner, as much as I would love a multi-pick plug spinner, my $15 one will have to suffice. Great video, really liked how you showed the various ways it comes in handy 🔒🔓👍🔐
At 7:26 when you flipped the core 180 degrees, the only pins that catch the core are the driver pins. the core pins are tucked into the core. All you have to do is stick the flat side of the pick into the core and push them back down flush to turn it. no picking or flipping needed.
Lovely looking tool - just like all multipick items I have a cheap chinese version that I purchased not nearly as nice to look at but it does the job When I win the lottery I can buy a better tool set - or if someone donates one to me - hint hint Please keep doing your videos - love them all
The poor man's version I found that works is to tape a rubber band to the end of a tension tool, pull the rubber band towards the direction you need while holding the pick, and then letting go of the pick, so it flings towards the direction you need it to go
Does it work on M1 or M5 ? I can only pick those CCW . My homemade spinner did not work on these magnum locks, so I bought one offline. It is strong, I almost have to use pliars to set it at full power. It also does not work on M1. Any thoughts? (Just noticed that between the spinner and the lock- - Unstoppable force meeting unmoveable object-- it bent the male stainless steel fitting that inserts into the female lock hole. )
It's also great for doors that have a deadbolt mechanism that gets engaged the second time you lock it. A lot of door locks in Europe work that way and normally you would have to pick it twice. With a plug spinner you can pick it once and then turn it for another time using the plug spinner. BTW. plug spinners can easily be improvised with rubber bands and torsion wrenches or 3D printed. But it doesn't look this good, admitted.
This Multipick spinner I bought in March/2020 from an Australia seller does not have that steel pin you mentioned at 2:36. I surmise Multipick removed the pin because it's been causing some reliability problems. It seems to work just fine without the pin and does not to seem to cause noticeable wear on the notch. One thing I'd personally prefer is if it used deep cutouts (like those found on the handle top) instead of three flimsy rubber o-rings on the lower barrel to provide friction when charging the spring because the spring is exceedingly strong and the friction provided by the rubber o-rings is just barely sufficient. If there is a bit of body oil, grease, or WD40 residual on the o-rings, good luck trying to charge the spring without the barrel seriously slipping. Also the rubber ages or wears over time, it will become much harder to grip the lower portion during charging.
fact is, the only real reason you would want or need a plug spinner is to look cool because women love them. woman "whats that bulge in your lockpick case" locksmith " thats a plug spinner "

Great video. I couldn't tell from the unboxing if the spinner comes with differently sized tips. Thanks for letting us know! Take care.

if you mean padlocks, i guess so, but it's easier to just pick them clockwise
