Yeah, me too. Maybe he just never bothered. To be fair to the locksmith, it's really much more of a job than just picking. They make their living installing, replacing and servicing. The guy who comes to grind off your lock is making a housecall, and $75 sounds like a going rate. He's bonded and licensed, so a cop can't mosey up and accuse him of a crime. It costs him money to stay in business.

Nah, that locksmith destroyed his own rep, LPL gave a great reason as to why most locksmiths can't do it, we only laugh at it because of how arrogant the guy was when talking to his customer. Service industry 101 never badmouth a peer or competing business, especially to a customer. Even if that business is horrible you can still come off as unprofessional and petty.
@@cych2769 The letter seemed to imply that it was a rather common occurrence for the locksmith to be compared to LPL and other similar locksmiths. He may have been unprofessional when talking to the writer of the letter, but wouldn't you eventually get tired of people comparing you to others who are able to do things that you can't? Especially when they have only ever seen such things online rather than in the real world? If my job consisted of me getting told by people "oh but this guy online is better than you..." over and over by my customers, I would be rather worn down by it.
@@cych2769 And by doing that, you may push the customer to go and see wether this other business really is that bad, just out of curiosity, and if you're wrong you'll look like a jealous fool. Just like here. Meanwhile LPL defends other locksmiths not being able to always pick things as sometimes it requires tools and skills they may not have, so he's being very fair to them.
Honestly you can kind of tell what the hell he was doing anyway. He slipped the flat one in and popped open into hickey, then he put the tea bar looking thing in there and twisted the backend until the tumblers clicked.
I'm reminded of a quote (I think from the movie _Lean On Me_ ), something like, "You don't have 25 years of experience! You've had the same year of experience 25 times over!"
To add to this, I think it's great that LPL paused to state that he doesn't fault locksmiths since they probably don't have this particular tool in their kit nor a professional knowledge of Kryptonite bike locks, meaning the real test is of the integrity of the locksmith in question.
@Flamestripe03 but the thing is they aint self-proclaimed they do have the lockssmith education. But then again its in usa and you are kinda lacking in the education part (at least in some aspects and that are availabel/affordable to the general population )
I bought a used European car and needed an extra key so I went to this elaborate locksmith shop and he couldn't help me. I went to the local hardware store and he came close (sort of), he could cut a key for a Porsche 928 and mine was Italian. One day I was at the bank and when I went to my car in the car park there was a mobile locksmith van. I thought no way he's going to have one but I've learnt over the years it pays to ask and so I did, eureka! Miracle of miracles he cut me a key on the spot. Better still I was able to test it immediately incase it needed refining but it worked first time. That was 25 years ago and I still think about it to put a smile on my face, God bless him.
@@warnertesla8297 Malcolm getting his refund would be a pain in the ass at the best of times, but this was supposed to be impossible. The locksmith was so certain the lock was impossible to beat and it was picked in a ridiculously short time by the guy he called the "worst offender" of spreading lockpicking lies. He wasn't just wrong, he was laughably wrong. It's irony.
@@liberationwasalie2982 Did you know that BS "facts" on the internet are the 3rd most common cause for cancer? That surname dates back to the days before surnames were inherited and refers to general metalworking smiths.
I hate when people pull experience bull on me. Frankly, it's an insult to my education and reasonable intelligence to tell me I can't be right or have good judgment purely because I have low experience in a field.
As LPL explains, there's no reason to assume this locksmith sucks at the technical aspects of his job: picking disc-detainer cores is not a normal thing to do. However, he certainly sucks at the customer service aspects of his job.
@@matthewmcewen1 It's an insult to you when somebody who's experienced knows more than you, who are inexperienced? Buuuuh? OK, if all you mean is "I hate it when people tell me that they know better than me and won't explain", then that's fine, but that's not what you wrote.
To be fair, you don't need to spend $1M for a disc detainer pick. There are options out there other than the Pick That Bosnian Bill and I Made for disc detainers. That one just happens to be one of the best R&D'd ones, for obvious reasons.
But that tool is now available for like $35 dollars now. They gave the rights to a company to mass produce it so long as it was affordable. He did a video about it a while back.
@@brianfhunter same lol I thought this was a new video but then when he burned the guy so badly I realized I had already seen this smackdown before, turns out it's 9mo old! Still equally entertaining as the first time
Him bringing up how long he has been in business was probably in same vain as an incompetent old mechanic who refuses to learn anything post 1994 saying the same shit to devalue someone who actually knows what the fuck he is talking about
i guess is to late for me,i even tried this, but i don't have good tools or experience. basically, i work with paperclips and pretty much any small thin item. i have only picked small broken/ damaged mailbox tumbler, that basically i can pick with a zip tie or tiny scissors.
I think that's a fair point. Most people, even locksmiths, aren't likely to have such specialized tools. That's not to say this couldn't be done with simpler ones, just that the LPL is using a pretty advanced one.
That would require honesty, integrity and a genuine desire to provide good service to the best of his ability. Qualities that you rarely find these days, and for good reason - they are even more rarely appreciated
@@benkalem Except that the locksmith had said he had been doing it for 20 something years, and so in that time he could have picked up the newer tools to pick the newer types of locks coming out. I could go for it if the locksmith were a young/new locksmith getting into the business an so has had less time an money to get anything beyond the basic tools needed to be a locksmith.
Dude lmao, I was waiting for him to be confident enough to describe everything he does while he does it, but tbh it was scarier when he went dead silent throughout the picking process
Anytime you see someone who knows what they're doing suddenly go silent while doing that thing, you know they mean business. I'm not personally sure entirely what that's like, but I have friends who will sit there and suddenly get anxious when I stop talking in the middle of a game. I've done this in shooter games and watched my friends actively avoid me because they know that they no longer stand a chance 😅
well, he was trying to race against the clock, he probably didn't want to use more time trying to describe what he was doing. And he's already made several Kryptonite bike lock videos anyway.
Dedicating all of his runtime towards the task of picking the lock with the equivalent of his middle finger. McNally might tear the hearts and souls out of bad locks, but LPL surgically removes the will to live from any lock he lays hands on.
That grip towards the thumb is very typical in both carving and cooking (particularly when using a paring knife) and gives excellent control of both edge orientation and depth of cut while also providing good leverage as you're using strength very local to the cut . The real danger comes when using a forehand grip (which uses larger arm and shoulder muscles further from the hand) and not being aware of body parts behind the piece being cut. A slipped forehand cut pushing away can swing wildly out of control and strike in particular the other arm, the legs, or a close bystander.
Generally, when you call a locksmith, the goal is to get past whatever lock is present rather than preserve the lock. Drills/grinders generally do a pretty good job of accomplishing this goal as a lot of customers just want to get into the thing and replace the lock later. Non destructive is definitely preferred, but if you can't open your door and the guy you called out pulls up with a drill, I think a lot of people are gonna shrug and just get a replacement lock.
Or imagine being a lockpicking enthusiast only to end paying an actual locksmith to come use a dremel (which you own) to simply cut the lock…. This viewer is a fool
@@robdubent I mean, I can love lockpicking and have a basic 6 piece set. I can also have successfully picked a few locks. I wouldnt be a fool for calling a locksmith rather than buying a hundred dollars worth of specialty lockpicking equipment. I would be a fool however for spending 75 dollars to pay a locksmith for a 50 dollar lock... If they promised they could pick it over the phone then showed up and only offered to cut it off id be sending them packing without a dime. Dunno maybe Kryptonite locks are really expensive. If cutting was the only option call a handyman and pay like 30 bucks instead! Life hack. My guess is they assumed the locksmith would have no problem picking it and didnt bother to ask for specifics over the phone, then felt like since they had to pay a service call anyway they might as well have the locksmith cut the lock rather than having to do it themselves.
From the way i saw him cut the package open, i can def see him cutting himself lol. Tried cutting that way a while ago and it gave me a little scar (to be fair, it was one of those cutters that are extremely sharp with a small tip)
I like that you defended the locksmith prior, that the average locksmith wouldn't have the proper tools necessary for this type of lock. Then the ass-handing commenced.
@@mikeekim242 that reminds me of a story about when my grandfather was a boy. He saw an ad in a paper: "How to carve and whittle without cutting yourself. Find out how for only .25!" He sent the quarter and got a little piece of paper in the mail that simply read, "Cut away from yourself." I'm sure there were a few more words but that was basically it.
I'll never forget the time I cut my finger with a box cutter, bandaged it up, and less than an hour later, sliced the bandage because I did the same thing. The second lesson stuck.
Not only picks it in 28 seconds. Adds best utube comment as well. I'd love to hear the follow up with the locksmith. I'd also love to hear lpl give the guy a call
The fact that the locksmith had seen - or at least was completely aware of - your channel, makes me wonder why he wasn't more curious about the tools that are demonstrated. Seems like a bit of a shame he couldn't get a bit more into it and develop his skills
Especially that the tool is not hard to learn at a basic level. Nobody will be picking with it in 20-some seconds after just an hour or less of practice, say. But even a 5- or 10-minute job would be fine as a once-in-a-while thing. Not everyone’s hobby is the same as their job.
Most locksmiths aren't going to devote a significant amount of time learning about how to pick every lock or devote space/money to carrying around a large amount of specialized tools. Especially when they can just reliably destroy the lock and move on to their next job.
@@BriBCGthere isn’t that many special locks or tools to pick those locks a small handbag could carry everything you would need and more and it wouldn’t be inconvenient or heavy if your jobs to get a lock off but all you can do is cut it that job shouldn’t exist given most people have an angle grinder or a friend who has one but if you know how to pick it suddenly that’s a rarer skill set that has a reason to be worthy of a job
customers may see lockpicking as part of a locksmiths job, but a lot of places dont want their techs to pick or at the very least spend minimal time picking because it is significantly more cost efficient to destroy the old one and sell a new one. they are businesses first, and services second.
@@Cringemoment4045 You're right, but I think what they meant is that by the time LPL mentioned how long it took, there clearly wasn't that much time left.
Saying "You ain't shit" means "you are not shit" which is opposite to what Lockpicking Lawyer is implying. "You are shit" is the correct phrase for what LPL is implying about the other locksmith.
@@bunnyhop4938 It's street slang. You can't put logic to that. It's like when people say " I am the shit". They are implying they are the real deal basically. You aint shit, you aint the real deal.
That dude definitely got owned, but you are right about one thing the most: that dude ain't getting his money back from that locksmith. I wouldn't be surprised if his number will go straight to a automated message haha
I love when he does these challenges, he hasn’t even opened the package yet, and there is less time left in the video than the challenger has asked for. You already know the outcome. Beautiful.
"Beating two minutes and 14 seconds did not pose a significant challenge. In fact, I suspect it's far less of a challenge than Malcolm will have trying to get his money back from the locksmith" PRICELESS!! 😂😂😂😂
Being a locksmith myself I can whole heartedly say I don't carry the right tools to picks this lock open and usually go for the easier route of cutting a lock open. That said I don't know if wouldve gotten irritated at the prospect of someone being able to pick this. Case in point. This video
Its just a reply to being called "worst offender, and that his videos being utter bullshit".. i don't see anything wrong than just defending his own pride and reputation
It's ok, he's letting the locksmith save face by starting with the fact that that lock's picking toolset is NOT in the general toolset carried by most locksmiths. I thoroughly enjoyed the video!

Not really. Like LL said: Picking more difficult locks is not the standard repertoire of a locksmith. Just because there are some people exceptionally well at things does not make this the norm. You can still be a decent locksmith. No matter what there will always be someone better then you are, anyways.
@@dundee248 So much better, in fact, that they can show off their skills, rather than (or in addition to) using them in a regular setting. The same difference between professional stage musician and super star stage musician (that is actually good, I mean).
I doubt he will due to the fact he already knew who the youtuber was and clearly is jealous of his skill. Would be nice to know he paid but I've dealt with people like this and can almost guarantee he will watch and immediately say "nope he cheated see the band aid he already cut himself opening the lock and taped it back up"
Can’t even get a locksmith to show up for $75 in Australia, and they use destructive methods to up sell. It’s cheaper to smash/cut your way in and replace the lock. Can’t even get a lock barrel keyed for less than the lock is worth!
A quick Google search shows that a cheap angle grinder can be bought for as little as £19.99 here in the UK. Throw in a few quid for a cutting disk and you could throw the lot in the trash afterwards and still turn a profit.
@Travis Montgomery: Nah. Probably blamed it on camera trickery or some nonsense and then went back to doing his job the same way he's done it for the past 20 years.
"I'm locked out of my car" - locksmith turns up with a brick. " That will be $75 for the service, another $75 for callout charges, another $50 for transport cost and 50cents for the brick. "
Not only is he a fabulous lock picker, he is a real gentleman. He had every right to tell the guy to stick it but he just quietly moved on and let his actions speak for themself.
In fact, he prefaced the picking section of the video by empathising with average locksmiths, stating that very specific skillsets and tools can be necessary to pick these, so he didn't fault the locksmith for being personally unable to pick it offhand.
LPL: "We timed him cutting my lock; It took him 2 minutes and 14 seconds." Me realizing that there was less time than 2'14" left in the video when he started picking the lock: not like this, the man has a family!
@@legros731 might have just had a crappy grinder, besides, they use decently high quality steel and a few other methods to keep this stuff from just being a quick easy grind job
@@zonkeymaker Thats also a good point, seeing as its a *bike* lock it likely was, possibly in a bike rack, and at the very least close to spokes/brake lines you dont want cut
And now this is his second most viewed video, and the locksmith is probably somewhere hoping profusely that his name never gets to the public, while desperately learning new lockpicking skills, so that no one can easily detect him
thats me doing body work on people's cars like cutting out the back trunk panel for their stereo system. I don't argue and let them draw with the marker where to cut.
_"First I'm using a turning tool to rotate the discs as far as they will go. Then I will use the pick Bosnian Bill and I made, and tension on the first disc. Let's get started.. nothing on 2, little click on 3, 4 is binding, nothing on 5. Back to the beginning, 2, we got a click out of him, nothing on 3, 4, a click out of 5 and we've got it open."_
Not how that sort of billing works...most businesses charge you by the hour, some by half an hour, and that starts the moment the timer starts ticking, so even if I take 10 seconds, I'm billing you an hour, and this is not taking into account the traveling costs and tools, and if I had to guess, even if he took 24 hours to do the job, he would still charge that amount. Also I would suspect that this type of work doesn't happen that frequently, so competition is going to be low as well, increasing the price...so yeah, probably $75/hour to cut a lock.
No. He have to receive call first which not all of them ends in sale, drive there, establish what's going on, prepare and bring tools, talk with client and drove back. I guess total like 40-60 minutes, 30 minutes per job which will be lucky if so. So $150 per hour maximum but he as well might not have any job or just one a day. You don't understand making a business at all.
It wasn't reasonable for the guy to expect some local locksmith to pick like LPL but it was completely absurd for that locksmith to think that LPL is some sort of incredibly sophisticated fraud.
“He’s been in the business for over 20 years. He’s *obviously* a master, and someone who picks as a hobby for TH-cam could never actually keep up with this 20 year vet.” Asshats like this are in every trade. They think that mediocre skills+years in the business make a master tradesman. If he bothered to keep up with new techniques, new tools for efficiency, and kept himself humble, he would be much better, and probably be able to charge more too.
Eddie Kalista I’ve been in my trade for 35 years, but if someone has a better idea or thinks they can do it better or faster than me, I let them try to prove it before I gloat and brag that I’ve been doing longer.
Steve Woodward I haven’t been in mine for that long, but I always have the “everyone is a student, everyone is a teacher” mentality.

Eddie Kalista you can never say that you’ve completely mastered a field. Even masters still haves things they can learn. 25 years of experience is one thing but knowledge of everything is another. It’s simply not possible. As your experience grows, so does your knowledge... but in case of that local locksmith. Seems he’s in denial and has the experience of a novice if he thinks there are unpickable locks in the world. Even the unpickable lock a century ago was picked live...
"Don't blame the locksmith for not being able to pick this because it's difficult and requires very specific tools, but hold my beer while I knock this bet out of the park" That response is absolutely legendary
now that I read it again, it felt like "Don't blame the locksmith for not having the tools and skills after 25 years of locksmithing, just give me a moment to lockpick this lock open"
@@Antonin1738 there are many different kinds of locks that require different kinds of tools. You can't expect every locksmith to have every possible tool for every possible lock at hand. Just like with cars not every mechanic has every tool to repair every kind of car.

I went to the local hardware store and he came close (sort of), he could cut a key for a Porsche 928 and mine was Italian. One day I was at the bank and when I went to my car in the car park there was a mobile locksmith van. I thought no way he's going to have one but I've learnt over the years it pays to ask and so I did, eureka! Miracle of miracles he cut me a key on the spot. Better still I was able to test it immediately incase it needed refining but it worked first time. That was 25 years ago and I still think about it to put a smile on my face, God bless him.

As LPL explains, there's no reason to assume this locksmith sucks at the technical aspects of his job: picking disc-detainer cores is not a normal thing to do. However, he certainly sucks at the customer service aspects of his job.

Classic example of “I can’t do it, therefore it’s impossible.”
Would have been better for the Locksmith if he had simply explained "that takes a special tool to pick and I don't happen to own one".
I think that's a fair point. Most people, even locksmiths, aren't likely to have such specialized tools. That's not to say this couldn't be done with simpler ones, just that the LPL is using a pretty advanced one.
That’s true but there is people out there who would be complaining “You’re a locksmith you’re supposed to able to open anything up”.
@@jesusislord2149 To be fair, the locksmith opened the lock. Just not in the way that the owner would have expected.
That would require honesty, integrity and a genuine desire to provide good service to the best of his ability. Qualities that you rarely find these days, and for good reason - they are even more rarely appreciated

Dude lmao, I was waiting for him to be confident enough to describe everything he does while he does it, but tbh it was scarier when he went dead silent throughout the picking process
Anytime you see someone who knows what they're doing suddenly go silent while doing that thing, you know they mean business. I'm not personally sure entirely what that's like, but I have friends who will sit there and suddenly get anxious when I stop talking in the middle of a game. I've done this in shooter games and watched my friends actively avoid me because they know that they no longer stand a chance 😅
well, he was trying to race against the clock, he probably didn't want to use more time trying to describe what he was doing. And he's already made several Kryptonite bike lock videos anyway.
Yeah, because it means FULL concentration.
Dedicating all of his runtime towards the task of picking the lock with the equivalent of his middle finger. McNally might tear the hearts and souls out of bad locks, but LPL surgically removes the will to live from any lock he lays hands on.

LPL: *cuts towards his thumb*
LPL’s thumb: *already has a bandage on it*
Boxcutter: “How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?”
I was thinking the same thing 😂😂
That grip towards the thumb is very typical in both carving and cooking (particularly when using a paring knife) and gives excellent control of both edge orientation and depth of cut while also providing good leverage as you're using strength very local to the cut . The real danger comes when using a forehand grip (which uses larger arm and shoulder muscles further from the hand) and not being aware of body parts behind the piece being cut. A slipped forehand cut pushing away can swing wildly out of control and strike in particular the other arm, the legs, or a close bystander.
@@diamondflaw there's a _science_ to this?

Seems like Amazon is doing a good job...
Dude imagine being a "locksmith" for over 25 years and your tool of choice is a grinder.
Generally, when you call a locksmith, the goal is to get past whatever lock is present rather than preserve the lock. Drills/grinders generally do a pretty good job of accomplishing this goal as a lot of customers just want to get into the thing and replace the lock later. Non destructive is definitely preferred, but if you can't open your door and the guy you called out pulls up with a drill, I think a lot of people are gonna shrug and just get a replacement lock.
Or imagine being a lockpicking enthusiast only to end paying an actual locksmith to come use a dremel (which you own) to simply cut the lock…. This viewer is a fool
@@robdubent I mean, I can love lockpicking and have a basic 6 piece set. I can also have successfully picked a few locks. I wouldnt be a fool for calling a locksmith rather than buying a hundred dollars worth of specialty lockpicking equipment. I would be a fool however for spending 75 dollars to pay a locksmith for a 50 dollar lock... If they promised they could pick it over the phone then showed up and only offered to cut it off id be sending them packing without a dime. Dunno maybe Kryptonite locks are really expensive. If cutting was the only option call a handyman and pay like 30 bucks instead! Life hack.
My guess is they assumed the locksmith would have no problem picking it and didnt bother to ask for specifics over the phone, then felt like since they had to pay a service call anyway they might as well have the locksmith cut the lock rather than having to do it themselves.
@@robdubentWasn’t the fact that he was biking far from home the first thing that was established?

Still I'd send the locksmith this video just to piss him off even further.
The fact that the locksmith had seen - or at least was completely aware of - your channel, makes me wonder why he wasn't more curious about the tools that are demonstrated. Seems like a bit of a shame he couldn't get a bit more into it and develop his skills
Especially that the tool is not hard to learn at a basic level. Nobody will be picking with it in 20-some seconds after just an hour or less of practice, say. But even a 5- or 10-minute job would be fine as a once-in-a-while thing. Not everyone’s hobby is the same as their job.
Most locksmiths aren't going to devote a significant amount of time learning about how to pick every lock or devote space/money to carrying around a large amount of specialized tools. Especially when they can just reliably destroy the lock and move on to their next job.
@@BriBCG Then they're not doing their job properly. I carry lockpicks and you really only need, at most, six tools.
@@BriBCGthere isn’t that many special locks or tools to pick those locks a small handbag could carry everything you would need and more and it wouldn’t be inconvenient or heavy if your jobs to get a lock off but all you can do is cut it that job shouldn’t exist given most people have an angle grinder or a friend who has one but if you know how to pick it suddenly that’s a rarer skill set that has a reason to be worthy of a job
customers may see lockpicking as part of a locksmiths job, but a lot of places dont want their techs to pick or at the very least spend minimal time picking because it is significantly more cost efficient to destroy the old one and sell a new one. they are businesses first, and services second.

You know he is serious when doesn’t comment on how the disks are moving. LOL. Poor locksmith
same, when he silently went to work I knew this was a less than half a minute job
niice i am like #421.. i made sue to celebrate appropriately when i saw 420.. lol
@@razoredgechris wut...
Talking takes up time. He wanted to absolutely *smash* that lock!
When he goes quiet and doesn't commentate on disc positions, you know he's serious
Trying to keep his good name out of the dirt and get homeboy back his $75! Success.
Nor mentioning the pick he and BosnianBill made.
Commentate??
😂😅
Epic

Not only is he a fabulous lock picker, he is a real gentleman. He had every right to tell the guy to stick it but he just quietly moved on and let his actions speak for themself.
In fact, he prefaced the picking section of the video by empathising with average locksmiths, stating that very specific skillsets and tools can be necessary to pick these, so he didn't fault the locksmith for being personally unable to pick it offhand.
@@ZCherish Exactly. This video is a perfect example of the difference between "I can't do it" and "there is no one in existence that can do this".
I don't recall him ever picking something so quietly. He was focused and intent.
He is a true winner!
@@ZCherish he's a lawyer lol they are smart enough to never shittalk publicly
I almost expected him to go "oops. I ended up picking this lock just trying to open the package."
It took you longer to open the packaging than the lock. I'm going to be securing my bike with tape in the future.
🤣
Lmao
Lmao make sure it's some really good tape 🤣🤣🤣

Best comment! 😂😂😂
Now that all lock companies are humiliated, its time for arrogant locksmiths
With each enemy defeated, a new challenger appears.
The plot thickens.
This was not a boss battle.
I spat out coffee laughing at this.
Tom Totushek
not a boss in the main game but definitely a stage boss in a dlc
LPL: "We timed him cutting my lock; It took him 2 minutes and 14 seconds."
Me realizing that there was less time than 2'14" left in the video when he started picking the lock: not like this, the man has a family!
Will call bs on the 2min to cut 1min is more than ennuf to cut this 30 sec a side max it 1/2 inch tick bar
@@legros731 might have just had a crappy grinder, besides, they use decently high quality steel and a few other methods to keep this stuff from just being a quick easy grind job
I wish the whole video was 2 minutes 13 seconds.
Simon Legros could have been in an awkward position
@@zonkeymaker Thats also a good point, seeing as its a *bike* lock it likely was, possibly in a bike rack, and at the very least close to spokes/brake lines you dont want cut
And now this is his second most viewed video, and the locksmith is probably somewhere hoping profusely that his name never gets to the public, while desperately learning new lockpicking skills, so that no one can easily detect him
Angry guy with an angle grinder: "You know I'm something of a locksmith myself"
Alright then, keep your secrets
You made me crack for a bit mate
For me, that was the internet "winning comment" of the day. Cheers to you sir! Even have Willem Dafoe in my head as I read it. Cheers lol
thats me doing body work on people's cars like cutting out the back trunk panel for their stereo system. I don't argue and let them draw with the marker where to cut.
Thank god, doctors don't work like that 😂
You can tell LPL is serious when he is silent during the picking.
Yeah that was....weird,
I had that voice in head, tho :D
Yes my dude, yes. You've noticed too!
wish he did it again and deconstructed the lock, might get in trouble though might be why he did not
_"First I'm using a turning tool to rotate the discs as far as they will go. Then I will use the pick Bosnian Bill and I made, and tension on the first disc. Let's get started.. nothing on 2, little click on 3, 4 is binding, nothing on 5. Back to the beginning, 2, we got a click out of him, nothing on 3, 4, a click out of 5 and we've got it open."_
His focus is inspiring.
I don't think I've seen something more "I'm gonna end this man's whole career" in my life.

$75 for a 2 min and 14 second job.
This guy got paid $2000/hr to cut a lock.
Not how that sort of billing works...most businesses charge you by the hour, some by half an hour, and that starts the moment the timer starts ticking, so even if I take 10 seconds, I'm billing you an hour, and this is not taking into account the traveling costs and tools, and if I had to guess, even if he took 24 hours to do the job, he would still charge that amount.
Also I would suspect that this type of work doesn't happen that frequently, so competition is going to be low as well, increasing the price...so yeah, probably $75/hour to cut a lock.
Most folks in the SF Bay Area can only dream of paying just $75.
He had to drive there
No. He have to receive call first which not all of them ends in sale, drive there, establish what's going on, prepare and bring tools, talk with client and drove back. I guess total like 40-60 minutes, 30 minutes per job which will be lucky if so. So $150 per hour maximum but he as well might not have any job or just one a day.
You don't understand making a business at all.
The moment you realize there’s only one minute left when he starts
I was saying the same thing lol
He has a 3 min vid, gets challenged to a 2 minute pick, and didn't even start till there was 1 minute left. Rekt
Why do I hear boss music
I was thinking the same thing.
Yes we all know the length of his videos. Someone always points it out.
the greatest "hold my beer" i've seen in a while
watch moist criticals recent video about an impossible piano challenge it's another great hold my beer situation
@@Ryu99420 yeah but that guy was a complete arrogant dick about the situation, this guy is nice about it
@@justsomenumpty yea true he kinda ruined it that way
Lmfao

It wasn't reasonable for the guy to expect some local locksmith to pick like LPL but it was completely absurd for that locksmith to think that LPL is some sort of incredibly sophisticated fraud.
“He’s been in the business for over 20 years. He’s *obviously* a master, and someone who picks as a hobby for TH-cam could never actually keep up with this 20 year vet.”
Asshats like this are in every trade. They think that mediocre skills+years in the business make a master tradesman. If he bothered to keep up with new techniques, new tools for efficiency, and kept himself humble, he would be much better, and probably be able to charge more too.
Eddie Kalista I’ve been in my trade for 35 years, but if someone has a better idea or thinks they can do it better or faster than me, I let them try to prove it before I gloat and brag that I’ve been doing longer.
Steve Woodward I haven’t been in mine for that long, but I always have the “everyone is a student, everyone is a teacher” mentality. My supervisor has the same mentality, and he’s been at it for over 20 years. A lot of us, who approach work everyday looking to hone our craft, exist, but unfortunately, so do the lazy asshats.
Eddie Kalista you can never say that you’ve completely mastered a field. Even masters still haves things they can learn. 25 years of experience is one thing but knowledge of everything is another. It’s simply not possible. As your experience grows, so does your knowledge... but in case of that local locksmith. Seems he’s in denial and has the experience of a novice if he thinks there are unpickable locks in the world. Even the unpickable lock a century ago was picked live...
You would think a locksmith would take notes from LPL, increasing the knowledge & tool collection to tackle any job.
Picking the package is harder than picking the lock, probably.
He picked the lock way faster than him reading the entire letter.
👍You said it first.
absolutely *ROASTED*
it's a long letter
Yeah but his video hardy go over 2min and we are almost at 4 and the lock was only 28sec
It looked like it was going to take him longer to open the package than pick the lock.
"Don't blame the locksmith for not being able to pick this because it's difficult and requires very specific tools, but hold my beer while I knock this bet out of the park"
That response is absolutely legendary
Epic! 👍
now that I read it again, it felt like
"Don't blame the locksmith for not having the tools and skills after 25 years of locksmithing, just give me a moment to lockpick this lock open"
how can a LOCKSMITH not have tools for LOCKPICKING?
The fuck?
@@Antonin1738 thats what i thought too. likely small town, old timer who has always done things a certain way (unfortunately his way is lesser)
@@Antonin1738 there are many different kinds of locks that require different kinds of tools. You can't expect every locksmith to have every possible tool for every possible lock at hand. Just like with cars not every mechanic has every tool to repair every kind of car.
let's all be honest, opening the package was much harder than picking the lock.
Epic!
Sender should make bike locks
I was worried about him cutting his bandage
Proper laughed out loud 🤣🤙🏽
I mean, he isn't the package opening lawyer
I would understand why some people in the replies of the comments would defend the locksmith for not having the necessary tools for the job if he admitted it or admitted that he doesn't know entirely about all the different types of lockpicks, but he didn't and became arrogant so...
