![[956] Exciting Disc Detainer Pick Update!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QRO5wzAaT00/mqdefault.jpg)
I just ordered my own disc detainer pick from Sparrows and was trying to find replacement tips in case one broke, and was surprised to see they didn’t sell any. This video is perfect and I’m definitely going to make a few to use while I practice picking with it.
Thanks for checking it out, glad to hear it helped. Its a great feeling when you get a lock open with something you made. I have links in the description to the exact ones I use, if you are having trouble finding them. Best of luck in your disc detaner journey. Take care 👍
Nice job my friend. Those finished tips look really nice! Thanks for showing this.
Thanks brother, really glad to hear you liked it, hope all is well my friend 👍👍
Excellent! Your picks will easily outlast the ones that Sparrows supplies with the tool !
Thats exactly what got the ball rolling for me, I had my Sparrow tip for a day or so, all the handle did was slide down, and a piece chipped off, I was heartbroken, so I started looking into making them myself, after I figured someone else might have the same problem, so I thought this out there. Thanks for checking it out, and for leaving an awesome comment. Take care 👍
excellent job
Bench wheel grinder works so fast. Just roll the pin between your fingers. Ten minutes...done.
Great tutorial for anyone wanting to make spares or specialized tips. I use those injector pins for all types stuff, they're super useful!
Thanks brother, Im just now see all the possibilities with them, they are great to have, Id like to start collecting a few different size of them to. Appreciate you taking a look, have a good one 👍
Great how to video. I made my first tip this afternoon. Need to make some of different sizes. Thanks for doing this. 👍🦊
Thanks for checking it out, sorry I didn't have exact dimensions, not very good with that.
Hope it helps someone, gives a rough idea at least. Would like to see yours, are you going to post video?
@@RookKnight Mine is not as well finished as yours. I will probably include it in the next video I make. Don’t have much free time with helping the grandkids with virtual home schooling.
I know what thats like, Im a full-time single parent, and virtual school is a whole new world lol
I wish you luck my friend👍👍and I'll keep an eye out for your next video 👋🔓
How did I miss this video?
Really well demonstrated with clear instructions.
Excellent video Rook
You're to kind my friend 🙏thank you so much!
Beautiful craftsmanship, ordering a bunch of those now.
Thanks my friend, its a fun project,
And feels great when uou get something picked with it.😀👍
This is really helpful. Thank you for making this!
Thanks for checking it out, and letting me know what you thought of it, that made my day 👍
I was googling disc tool tips and this was one of the first links that popped up... You're famous!!!!.... Among people who pick disc detainer locks.... And who make their own tools... and who share it online.. ... Yeah about twenty of us worldwide. . Still famous tho
Lmao probably closer to 15, but yeah that's neat👍
Thanks, RK. Came here after following a comment link on the Deadlocks channel. Subscribed because of this video.
I enjoy watching Mr. & Mrs. Deadlocks. I really appreciate you subbing, and knowing that you liked the video is awesome. Hope you have a great weekend 👋🔓
I've got a load of these coming so your tutorial will come in very handy. Thanks for making this
Happy to hear it might help. Picking discs are so much more fun, when you make the tips yourself 👍
Have a good one ✌
Great job, thanks for sharing how you made them.
Thanks for checking it out,
Figure if I can do it anyone can lol
Have a great week bro👍👍
Nice job, Rook! Thanks for sharing
these great tips!!😊👍🏼🔒⛏💁🏼♀️
Thank you, really appreciate it
Hope you have a wonderful week 👍
Great walk through
Thanks brother, really appreciate you taking a look 👍
Great job, brother! Thanks for sharing! Good tips!😎👍🏼
Thank you my friend, hopefully it will help someone
When I broke my tip from sparrows, I was so upset
Now Im set with the ones I made, and I think they are strong too.
Hope you and the Misses are all safe and well, take care brother
Fantastic work my friend. Loads of great tips to help everyone. Great video & have a fantastic week.
Really appreciate that Daz
Take care my friend, and thanks again for your help.
Those tips look great man, nice job on the tutorial!
Thanks brother, hope it helps someone.
Hope you have a great week my friend 👍
Awesome work my friend!!!

Stay safe!
🐾👍🐈👍🐾😷
Thanks brother,
Hope you are having a great start to your week.
Take care my friend
Great video mate!
And your craftmanship had a seriously level up from the last time a see a your video!!!
Impressive!!! 🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️😎👍
That means a great deal coming from you, thank you brother !
Very helpful video
Thank you, really appreciate it 👍
Great video, Good tips on making tips..
have a great day
Thanks man, probably not the best video, but it will give someone a jumping off point.
I will say, I started using a dremel cutting wheel, to cut the extra off before going to the snding barrel, bit of a time saver.👍 Have a great one too bro✌️
Great job explaining the process buddy 👍 finished job looks swishy as well 👍 well done sir 😎🤘
Thanks brother, I really appreciate that. Means a lot to me
Have a awesome, and safe week my friend
Nicely done and good description. Will come in handy to have a selection. Looking forwar to seeing you put them to good use👍
Thanks my friend, I kinda went in reverse but my video before this one, I used my tip, but hopefully will have a few more locks to test on screen soon. Anyway really appreciate you taking a look, hope you have a great week ✌
I wached that one too. Hope you get your DD locks soon. You have a good one too👍
They are a fun rabbit hole to fall down lol, one good thing with locksport, so many avenues.
Catch you later my friend, say hi to🐢
Great video... Very well explained with clear pictures to show what you mean... Absolutely top notch tutorial 🍻🌇
Thanks brother, Really appreciate that
This is awesome. I planned on making some myself, so this is a huge help. Great video!
Really appreciate that, thank you so much.
Have a excellent rest of your week my friend 👍
I have a USA and a UK link to the ejector pins, that fit sparrows pick like a glove in my description.
Hope it helps ✌
definitely want to keep the metal cool, otherwise you change the molecular structure and the steel becomes very brittle. i appreciate the tip. i dont see myself buying one since i really havent ran across any disc detainer locks. im still working on s.p.p. but eventually i will make my way to buying one of those picks. i see next month they are supposed to have more and i was so close to buying one in the first run. thanks again for the video!!
Thanks for checking it out, this was a long time coming for me. I have wanted to get into DD locks for a long time. Definitely got to keep the metal cool, same with making picks. Metal integrity is everything.
I was surprised they sold out for the second time, but November should be a 3ed run of them.
Just thought I'd pass on what I have learned so far, my inbox got flooded then I posted my last video on picking DD lock, on question on how I made the tip, figure do a video and kill 2 birds with 1 stone lol
Thanks again for checking it out, and comment. Have a great week my friend
Nice going on these :) I cut the tip to rough thickness with a hand saw and then filed the shape by hand so far, as it's quite easy and fast by hand too. I made mine from 2mm as that fits in the chinese picks. I just got the sparrows one last week, so now I should order some 1.5mm rods.
Nice work Rook Knight!
Thanks, it's fun making your own, especially when you get a open with it.
I don't know if it helps, but I put a link in my description, if you want to snag the 1.5mm it was from Amazon
Really appreciate you taking a look, and hope you have a wonderful week my friend 🔓👍
@@RookKnight thanks for the link. I think I will order some.
Happy to help bro👍
Awesome video bro I’m definitely gonna have to make one because I complain about the skinny tip they put on it every time I use it lol
Thank you for checking the video out. Have a good one👊
You make great videos!!
Miss you buddy!! Hope you are doing fine 😀👍🍻👍
Nicely done, Are you making them as spares or to have different sizes and shapes?
Thanks brother, A bit of both, I already snapped one of the sparrow tips, just by picking it up "to fast maybe?"
But also the ones I made, had less of a wiggle room inside the discs, so it was easyer to find the gates.
And just for a bit of fun too lol👍
Would it be possible to just start with a nail with the right shank size? or do they need to be a specific hardness like the injector pins?
Good question, If you could find a nail with the right length, and shank size, it might be possible. I don't know how long it would last though.
@@RookKnight I’m sure you could probably harden it with a torch. I was just thinking that it would save a lot of grinding getting it to the correct hight since it’s basically already there.
It sounds like a really cool idea. It can't hurt to give it a go. The hard part might be finding a nail with the proper length and shank size. If you do end up giving it a go, post a photo, and tag me. I would like to see how it came out. 👍🏻👍🏻
Got to make some of these for my Tallans pick so good to watch this. I have been hand filing flag tips, why does the sanding barrel not make it round/concave?
I would say keep the sanding barrel moving. Don't let it sit in one place. That should keep it flat.
Hopefully that makes sense, I'm terrible at texting info. If not I can try to paint a better picture. But keep in mind I only have white paint lol .
@@RookKnight it's pretty much what I figured, thanks for the reply. Will give it a go with both methods, gotten pretty used to hand filing now
I wish you luck. It should speed things up for you too. Happy New Year 👍👍
Very nicely done bro, they look great, I would love some of them. Maybe we can do a trade??
Thanks brother, yeah they just take a while to make, the tools I use aren't the best, so one will usually take an hour plus because Im mostly having to hand sanding them. I just need to get some time to sit to make them.
Great work there. May i know what clamping tool you use to hold the shaft and where do i get it? Thanks.
Thanks for checking it out, that was from a old knife sharpener kit, but anything that will clap would work great, even pliers in a pinch would get the job done, I will say the knife holder, I was using work well because it was made from aluminum, witch seem to wick the heat away from the pick head. Hope that helps 👍
@@RookKnight thanks man.
@@ronnypon8752 no problem ✌️
Have a good one
I saw a sparrows pick sold for over $2000 dollars on ebay. What a rip off. I sense a scalper.
I made a I pick tips....but no tool to use it on yet.
$2000 Jesus, I should put this one up, with the added tips lmao 😂😂
Do you have a link to buy the material or what size? Great video and thank you for sharing this with us!!
Yeppers its in my description, thanks for checking it out.
Have a excellent week 🔓✌take care
Rook Knight thank you!!
Happy to help 🤗
That music sounds awful damned familiar!
LMAO 🤣
There's always that one critic
@@RookKnight I'll consider it a a tribute to me... That or we have similar taste in intro music
@@RookKnight I came here to talk about making a tool to compete with bill and the lawyers tool and got sidetracked lol
I think you came to the wrong place lol
but thanks for stopping by 😆
Well done Rook
Definitely some great skill on your part my friend
Stay well!
Thanks MUR-LOCK , really appreciate that brother 👍
Hope you're staying well also my friend
I like to buy one sparrows disk detainer lock picking
So hard to find online
They have them on the Sparrow website, the problem is they keep selling out, but they do get them back in every few months, just have to keep checking in. There's also a bunch of amazing disc detaner picks made by other brands, or even independent custom pick makers that make great ones that would work the same.
What is an injector/ejector pin?
That is honestly a good question, I have a link to the ones I use in the description. But besides punches, and what I use them for, I couldn't say.
I haven't gotten the tool yet but do they really break that easy?
Snapped mine on the first day, just by picking it up 😟
I also think they are to small, so you get to much wiggle room in between the discs IMO of course
@@RookKnight sparrows was supposed to make the tip stronger with this 2nd batch according to rumor so if that's the case they need to keep 5fñ
@@Westhelockpicker I head the same thing, and this one was the second generation.
But it snapped like it was brittle, The body os spot on, and now that I replaced the tip, Im happy.
I even got a open with it👍👍
@@RookKnight I'm happy for ya but you shouldn't of had to make your own tip! Hopefully they will correct this problem
Anyone else think the intro song is the best intro song?
don't know if your serious, but I'll take it lol 👍
Rook Knight I’m dead serious
Thanks brother, really cool of you👍
I just ordered a bunch of 1.5mm / 6mm / 100mm ejector pins from Amazon.uk www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01EZZFIWK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I sure wish Sparrows sold that pick with tips made this way. I've broken both tips that came with my Sparrows disc detainer pick already.
Same here brother, I was pissed when mine snapped. One of the main reasons I thought, I would throw this together hoping it would help someone else. I will say after making my own, and crusching a few locks, feels good to know I made the tip profile to get it open. Also there's a few locks I have came across that need different shapes, and being able to whip them up, is awesome, the Anchor laugh, and kryptonite locks, come to mind as some strange keyways (at least the first disc on them) I had to made a separate one for each to crack them. Thanks for commenting, take care, and be safe man👍
While I appreciate your attention to detail, as a knife maker I can pretty much guarantee you that you will not blow the temper on these with sandpaper or hand files. These are (allegedly) made from 65Mn which is a low alloy carbon steel. Since they chose a tool/cutlery steel, we can assume they are hardened and tempered. We can also be pretty sure they are not going to get harder because you are not heating them to critical temperature and quenching, and that carbon steel is not going to work harden with what you are doing. So they can only get softer by tempering, or annealing if we take it to an extreme. People become obsessed with blowing tempers, especially when grinding knife bevels or aggressively machining hardened steels. But the temperatures required to do that are far, far beyond what you could do with hand tools. No water dipping or extraordinary measures required. With your Dremel? Perhaps, but you’d need to know more about the current heat treat on the pins. One would also need to ask, “So what if you *do* blow the temper?” In a cutting tool, that’s a big deal. If you have no way to go through the heat treat process again (perhaps it a stainless steel with a complex heat treat recipe or there is a handle permanently attached) you can throw that tool in the trash. But here, where we are spinning disks against side-bars, do we care if those wings are 50 HRC or 60 HRC? If anything, I suspect we *want* them to be softer. We are applying torque to the shafts, and tangential forces to the tips that are absolutely not what the original pins were designed for. Are they going to shatter like glass? Or are they going to mash over like they were made from clay? I suggest neither. Which is why I believe it doesn’t matter one bit how you machine them down to size.
I got half way through your rant, and I just couldn't finish. Sorry you're having a bad day,
But dude I ain't got time for this✌️
@@RookKnight Not really a rant. Just hoped you would be willing to learn. Lots of things I ain’t got time for either so I understand. ✌🏿out.
@@JohnSmith-gs4lw If it was coming from a place of help then I understand and am sorry,, most of the time its someone trolling. That doesn't even watch the video, or has already something to say half way through before the video is over, or has ever even attempted to make disc pick. I was a bit lost because I was using water to cool the metal for the Dremel, so not to take any chances of over heating the shaft of the ejector pin, and having failure when picking, this was told to me is a must by many other lock pickers who are very well known in the locksport community, the water being use for the wet and dry sandpaper was just that, I like putting a shine on it and it seems to work better wet, also I use my hands and the sand paper can make enough friction to burn my finger tips.
I also have used this method for all my disc detainer picks and they have performed great for ever lock I have used them on.
@RookKnight I'd say it was constructive criticism... maybe with a bit of snark, but well intentioned none the less... mean't to help you and your viewers. I'm not educated in the subject matter, so I don't know if it's accurate, but it sounds well thought out.
@@RookKnightI believe the separation/breakage or failure you're referring to from modifying other disc detainer pick shaft/tips has to do with the Chinese picks that have the tip crimped on... when those are ground down the crimp is severely weakened. I believe the fix was to reinforce the original Chinese crimped on shaft/tip that you're modifying with a solder used in the firearm industry/community.
I really like you're video here by the way.
Thank You 😁👍🔓
I need this video 😊
Cool information about DD vector.
Bravo 👏🔥🔐🔎🔓🥸
Thank you so much for the kind words🙏
