Awesome padlock. I have standard 83/80 non closed shackle with Pfaffenhain curved keyway with side pins for curved key with additional side dimples on key. One of my most favorite locks
Looks like that was pretty hard on your pick. Saw lots of flexing and twisting with all force you were having to use. I was afraid it was going to break.
Today a little hidden gem arrived home. A little padlock, I wasn't expecting much from it, I believe its a chinese one, it was very cheap too, but it has 7 pins, and it seems it can be gutted. However it has a feature that scares me, apparently it has a safety feature which makes it impossible to remove the key as long as the padlock. I don't know how it would react to being picked and turned. Has anyone seen anything like that before?
A lot of padlocks are 'key retaining' so you can't take the key out when unlocked. Makes no difference when picking so don't worry about it, pick it as normal
@@NIGBEE-lock-bothering Thank you for your answer. I was able to remove the lock from the padlock body and see how the effect was created. It has a little spring at the end of the cylinder which tries to force it open, but since the padlock uses a ball bearing mechanism, while it is unlocked it prevents the cylinder from moving to the open position, thus keeping the key inside. As you say, picking it shouldn't be a problem, once open I just have to close it again to reset it :)

It’s big, shiny and beautiful! What more can you say!
My ears are burning 😏
It's actually quite reassuring that it still took someone as skilled as you so long to crack. Great upload
Well picked 👍👍 what a hefty, but shiny lock 😊 beautiful 😍
Nice pick there. What a fighter lock 🔐
Now that is a beautiful beast of a lock, and it's IC as well definitely on my wish list.
The name always reminds me of Pfeffernüsse! 😀
What a fun pick! Challenging pick and interesting how pin binding alternated from pin to pin‼️
Great job Ash mate that's a lump of a lock👊😊🇬🇧😎👍
Great looking lock. I really like the whole rock series.
Nice work on such a monster lock. And shout out to Ucof! Hope you're both doing well.
:)

Great!!!
Very nice lock and pick, Master 👍🔓🌐!!!! )))
Good luck 👍🔓🏆
Thanks for the awesome display of skills on that Shiny Super size Abus 😎👍
Nice challenging lock. Beautiful mirror finish too. Well opened.
Nice. Gotta love a massive chunk of steel
Abus locks are always such a fun pick. I haven't had one yet that wasn't at least a little bit tricky to figure out.
Wow!! Awesome big Rock!!!
Super fighter 😀
Very well done!!!
🐈⬛🐾🐈🐾🇬🇧🍻👏👏👏👏
Way better than a Master lock.
Very nice!
The loose tolerances allowing the smooth key action is made up for by wise security pin choices.
That's a beast if a lock. What does it weigh compared to the masterlock 19 at 1.2kg may I ask🙏👍
1.6kg
