Plenty of my other videos, longer talks, and loads of other whatnot regarding locks, firearms, travel, food, and more are on my site...
deviating.net
Almost a decade ago, back in 2010, TOOOL spoke at DEF CON 18 and we revealed a lot of research we had been doing with respect to handcuffs from around the world.
By combining all of our collections, and taking exacting measurements of many models and their keys, we were able to offer up specifications for what we felt (and still do feel) is the "Ultimate" handcuff key... one that can fit in as many makes and models of cuff as possible.
This video is a quick guide to help you make your own if you're interested in modifying an existing key in order to turn it into our "Universal" handcuff key.
Good luck! (And, if you wish, stick around to the end for a special free giveaway for one lucky viewer!)
NOTE: The winner of the handcuff key has been chosen. By random selection (viewable here... / 1181425733077491714 ) the winner is Garak. I have replied to him below and we'll hopefully connect soon. Nice work, everybody!
LockPickingLawyer [1000] Masterlock #3 bypassed then picked with a soft shell taco
i might have some masters that can be picked with a hard shell.... im gonna search my bucket for that one with the shit bitting, it might just work. probable really
This is what the world needs more of: Concise, in-depth, no-nonsense and humorous videos explaining and demonstrating how to do or make Thing.
Well done, one of the many reasons I subscribed to this channel all those years ago.
Fun fact: Before I checked my subscriptions feed I was watching a German Turk (Ahmed Kocht on youtube) make traditional Turkish wraps. Not exactly the same, but at least vaguely similar to tacos.
Thanks for the kind words... and good luck on the random drawing!
So it turns out, This Old Tony and old uncle bumblefuck had a love child while eating tacos.
One thing worth mentioning regarding asp, be careful with the TOOOL key and it's edges. The key-engagement faces for the double lock activating and deactivating are plastic. Always use a fine diamond file or a leather strop to ensure the edges of the long side of the split flag are smoothed. The height of the key means sometimes you clip the deactivation portion even when they are single locked, so you want as minimal wear and tear as possible.
Epic. Good to see a modern video on this. I am someone who always widens the inner hole for maximum compatibility. These keys rock. I've made several over the years but manually using a Vernier caliper, diamond files and a junior hacksaw blade. Some turned out horribly because the split was hard to get in the middle. I have probably made like 15 of these over the years and I still have a few left over. I keep a raw TOOOL spec one in my wallet but around my neck is a modified one which is a bit longer than 2.9mm on the width in order to have an easier time with triple pawl cuffs, since it's more of a go-to key for actual use rather than emergency use. Which is why I keep a raw TOOOL one in my wallet just in case I ever needed it "in the wild" so to speak. I know the one around my neck works with all but my M104 high security S&W cuffs. I added your video as a reply to my tweet today about the ultimate handcuff key. I would have done it sooner if I had searched prior to tweeting to see if there were any other cuff key videos. Excellent work.
Tacos, key modification, makeshift picks, and an AvE shoutout. Perfect vidjedo 5/7.
I'm glad you took the time out of your day to give us all the wonderful tacos about fun things.
Your wife has clear handcuffs... I can see why you married her, LOL 😊
Handcuffs and tacos
She has the handcuffs to keep Deviant away from her tacos....
Chirael “clearly “see why
Tarah Wheeler guess that means he “unlocked “ your heart or “penetrated “ to the depths of your soul

wait you were on mythbusters?! Never realized that. what episode?
Colin Stuart Just a suggestion try your google. Or maybe your Tacos
@@gullreefclub I just looked it up, ah a 2017 episode. that explains it, I cut the cord long before that. Oh yeah, something something tacos
@@colinstu yeah.... this was when they were rebooting the show. i believe it didn't get optioned for additional seasons recently. still friends with many of the folk, though. :-)
Tacos for an AvE reference!
I was feeling the AvE love at "Husky brand approximators."
Skookum as frig!
Focus you fuck! Tacos, Tacos and more Tacos....hmmmm tacossss
The fact that both you and your wife have a handcuff collection make me feel like your a very fun couple.....
Informative. I've added to my useful key collection substantially since following. Strangely, I don't think I've had a single taco in that time. Might be due for a night out.
Pretty sure the best tacos I've ever had were made with bison meat, I'd really recommend them man. And great video, always excited when I get notified you've put something up.
I just found you randomly when looking for tacos recipes but I love you channel great job.
FYI... Cops hate it when you hand cuffs back to them post arrest...
Careful there. It's a felony in some places to not announce that you have a key when you are arrested.
@@brimstone33 You don't need a key.....
@@jacobebrock all you need is tacos
Thanks for the chuckle.
Tacos are an awesome food and I eat them at least once a week. I also love keys and lock picking, I took care of a lock for someone just this week. It turned out the problem lock ended up working with an extra key I had so I didn't even get to pick it. I have always wanted a padlock key and eventually I hope to put together some kind of an 'ultimate master key' ring for all those well known ones. Thanks for the great video man!
Having been in the British pair, they're bloody awkward to move about in, especially if they're put on ridiculously tight. Definitely difficult to eat a taco in.
British cuffs are severe - very restrictive and very easy to use as a torture weapon
@@MrAvant123 some would pay extra for that
All I know is that my tacos bring all the Deviants to the yard. Always a pleasure watching sir, was your videos that sparked my interest *cough* obsession *cough* with physical security. Now that I'm adding a second tool box to store all the various locks and tools I've collected/made, I'm starting to wonder how long it will be before the wife starts objecting. :)
Wow, so awesome of you to say. :-)
And here's to your next tool box after this one, even!
Tacos? I love tacos. Ild love those pins and key too. Thankfully I haven't needed one in several years. Glad to see you putting more on here too.
Ja ja! You made it easy to me, I just had genuine street Mexican tacos, quite delicious by the way. If you ever find yourself in Guanajuato Mexico, I'll treat to some!
Thank God I don't have to hunt for my food -- I don't even know where tacos live.
Nice work deviant, if you chopped off the ring piece, you could epoxy the working end onto your boot laces ferrule.
Tacos FTW! Taco Cat spelled backwards is Taco Cat!
Should have dropped this video on a tacos Tuesday. Pretty awesome of you to include the "screen used props" bobby pins!
tacos: a Mexican dish consisting of a fried tortilla, typically folded, filled with various mixtures, such as seasoned meat, beans, lettuce, and tomatoes. It also goes inside Deviant.
“Surround yourself with tacos, not negativity.”
What fucking rabbit hole have I gone down? This is literally the eleventy hundredth lock pick, physical pen test video I have seen this weekend. All because I couldn't remember the code to my master combination lock.
I have never wanted to change careers as much as I do now.
Every electronic building/maker skill is now being reviewed differently.
What fresh hell is this.
"Leave the gun; take the c̶a̶n̶n̶o̶l̶i̶ tacos."
Canoli? I think you mean Italian Dessert Tacos!
As a scot I have never eaten tacos. In fact I have never even seen a taco. Teach me your ways o'mythical taco man
"Tacos taxes and death, are the only things guarenteed in life"
- Benjamin Franklin.
Have you picked the winner of the tacos yet? Soft shell with little bits of tomato are my favorite 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I literally had tacos today. Fun coincidences.
Eating tacos while getting out of handcuff using the knowledge from this video could be my idea of a great dinner date.
Amazing, not only you shared knowledge you surprised me with a giveaway at the end. I could try the universal key on a south american cuff if I TACOS it.
Damn now I want tacos ....and tequila....and to go to a party involving handcuffs :p By the way, really appreciate all your talks - you ended up getting me interested in and conscious about security. This has really been useful for creatively approaching problems and developing situational awareness. Keep it up man love your stuff!
So happy to hear that! :-)
I like your reference to Ave I've learned so much from him an been watching his shit for years
Hey man check out my under water lock pick I done today I know I raked it but all 6 pins was in it
It's only 8:00 in the morning and now I'm going to be thinking about tacos the rest of the day thank you. I'm gonna have to get some steak tacos with onion and cilantro.
Surely, something so “ultimate” is worth a mention of tacos.
Totally had tacos at least 3 times while waiting patiently for this video. Thank you for coming through.
I worked in a max security prison. Melted plastic pushed into the keyhole forms a key. It’s then turned before it completely hardens to ‘sheer’ the bidding.
Thanks for your videos - they helped me to cut and file down a copy of my own house key! Also tacos are nice.
This really happened; on a jobsite heading down the buckhoist for lunch, a couple of hispanic guys got on and rode down one floor while having a conversation. After they got out we continued to the ground floor and some guy in the back says, "I don't know about you but all I heard was taco, taco, burrito, taco." Everyone cracked up, even other hispanics!
When ordering tacos at Taco Bell always get no lettuce!! 2 reasons... 1. Why mess up a taco with vegetables 2. They put more meat on them because it looks empty inside.... love the vids, keep up the good work!!!
Very well done.I enjoy your videos,keep up the good work.Rock on.
I always find your videos great. Thanks for making them!
Also, i totally had one taco last week. Someone wanted to drag me out to dinner, but I ate earlier. Seems there is a place in the world for a Taco. (It had a crispy nori shell, not quite sure how it was done. I don't think it was fried, but who knows?)
TACOS. A much appreciated alternative to burritos. Better fresh, yet leftovers can be OK in a pinch.
🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮
Have you even tried the tacos in El Paso? They have this one place that even Fluffy mentioned in his act. Weird but good.
I'm glad he mentioned tacos- I was thinking he meant the key "goes inside Deviant."
Hey just wanna tell you how much you inspired me and got me to think out of the box and subscribed to your Sansa site , Gee I wish I had some tacos to munch on while watching all your talks , just curious can you make tacos in a hotel room by wrapping a hanger around the clothing iron and draping some flaky dough over it ?🧐
Tacos! and you got a shoutout on the modern rouge from the Lockpickinglawer
Yeap... saw LPL last month when running a class in our Virginia facility. Visiting Brian and Jason next month when I swing through Austin. What a world! :-D
@@DeviantOllam no way! you passed though va? Small world I work there durring the summer :P find it very cool seeing the lock sport and pentesting community interacting. Very neat.
We've seen you penetrate a bank with whisky, but have you ever penetrated a building with tacos?
I know I'm a week late so I figured I'd just let you know my work cafeteria charged me $6.43 yesterday on taco(s) Tuesday for three mediocre tacos. Oh. And because of you BosnianBill and LPL Ive now got into this stuff and no longer have money to put into my truck🤣
If I had to be handcuffed and dragged behind something, I choose an open taco truck dangerously dropping tacos at random behind it while blaring it's taco truck horn.
Dude! Had 5 tacos in a silver Toyota Taco! :D I'm in NorCal too.
I like tacos...but I have had just one once. it was a fish taco that had the mouthfeel of blended meat because I'm fairly sure the threw a fish in a blender as prep work. Good luck mailing that key if it ends up in Alaska or Hawaii :P
Tacos was the primary reason I was handcuffed last time. Sure could have used that key that day.
“Would a taco by any other name taste just as sweet?”
William Shakespeare
Would have been even funnier posted on a Tuesday lol
PLURAL!!
Kind of an aside, but it's be nice to see how the mechanism works on cuffs that you can lock the ratchet on so they don't ratchet up further after they've been put on.
All I want to do is follow along with Deviant on a job, and get tacos afterward
Deviant Ollam, Taco machine! Thanks for sharing all this content, love your attitude (and that you clearly also spend some time watching some good youtubes)
Approximeters!? 🤣 Nice!
I also should have asked: if we DIY, any recommendation on how to validate the finished product other than owning a ton of pairs of handcuffs?
@NamedKitten Sorry, but hard pass ;)
Tacos - I've "heard" that cutting the rear of the tube at a bit of angle helps with key insertion if the cuffs are behind your back.
Cool video. I watched it October 4th then found out it was world tacos day. As a Brit, admittedly one that likes tex mex I didn't know it was a thing. I suppose it's an American thing like the world series which only includes north Americans ;-)
You forgot about explaining the double locking mechanism on handcuffs. That's the reason for the pin on the round circle to the left of the actual handcuff key.
Tacos and clear cuffs...just another thirsty Thursday
I like when you taco 'bout things that help people like this. (tacos if you need the plural version lol)
When your prisoner escapes and asks for more handcuffs.
It's great and I love it, I have done it a few times before but sorry I never ate tacos
Mmm, tacos and handcuffs, my kind of evening. On a side note I really enjoyed your pit to the penthouse talk, but I was wondering if you can use the feo-k1 key just inside the elevator with out using the key switch near the call button?
I wasn't gonna participate, but the screen used bobby pins are a great deal! So, Tacos (?
btw, do you have videos about double-bit keys and locks? those are really common in my country, but it doesn't seem commonly used anywhere else, so i have a hard time finding people talking about them.
Your wedding ring leads me to believe you only eat one taco
Ice cream tacos push the boundaries of Taco goodness.
I have a hypothesis that there are bad tacos. Please give me all your tacos so I can test my theory.
Tacos. Donuts. White chocolate turtle ice cream. Dang it. Now I’m hungry, if only I had a perfect universal handcuff key so I could escape this healthy place!
I wonder if you could grind tacos down to the shape of a key? It would at least make a good Mexican escape movie.
Deviant needs ALL the Tacos!!
I think B level cable production is a pretty generous description for your cameo on Mythbusters. Not trying to be a dick and minimize (even though that's exactly what I'm doing). I just think a few tacos might be more valuable than those bobby pins. P.S. I think the bobby pins are still very cool and I covet thee and thou bobby pins. I was trying to make the inclusion of the word tacos as organic as possible. A swing and a miss...
Have you tried the Chubb handcuffs? I have a pair and they have levers inside and this key would not open it. But in fairness they are not common at all. Don't know if anyone uses them.
Well what do you do for the Australian Lithgow Saf-Lok keys which actually use a pin tumbler lock?
Loved the AVE reference, Tacos for all!
Street Tacos are magic.
Thanks for the info! Very cool. Only problem now... I'm genuinely hungry for tacos!
What if they're double locked? Do all cuffs have double locks?
Tacos as a safe word, i love that idea. :)
tacos need to come with an electronic wrapping machine
Tacos are better than dirty sockos. Great mod!.
You got me thinking about where you have the different keys stashed, in a few tacos?
tacos + handcuffs are a great combination
The internet is peppered with AvE references, and is a now better place indeed.
What is the protruding bit on the back of the key for?
Tacos? We don't need your stink'n tacos. Anyway, I'm going to make my own universal cufflink, following your steps!
Have you ever encountered the "Ralk" handcuffs used in Czech Republic and Slovakia? They use this very strange completely flat key and your universal key probably won't work on them. That said, they don't have any security features so they are very easy to shim.
Nice video! If I ever hear you're going to be around maybe we can have some... Tacos ....
Cool vid
What about opening the double locks?
I've already been subscribed 'cause your content is supremely useful! So... Tacos ! Personally I prefer soft tacos. The hard shell garbage is annoying when the break apart and all of the critical taco internals fall out, lol.
By the way my Favorite trick I learned from you, that I LOVE to share with friends is... The walk'n down the sidewalk and spitting the mist cloud through the gap in a set of poorly fitted ("Locked", lol) automatic sliding doors causing them to of course trigger from the inside and open right up. HA!! 👍 Good stuff man. And... TACOS!
Tacos, fajitas or burritos? That is the question!
Tacos in the comments!? I want tacos in my mouth! Love the videos, keep 'em coming. BTW, that reminds me, I still need to make a keyring from one of your past videos.
all this talk of tacos takes me back to the taco tournament
