Lock Noob ABUS has an 888 cylinder with a keyway that spells ABUS. I have one in my 83/45. lockitt.com/abus-888-83series-cylinder.html th-cam.com/video/ye8JVOD_ukw/w-d-xo.html
I have one in gold. Long shackle also. I asked for challenging bitting and boy did I get it! Abus spelled and highs and lows. Beautiful lock. Great picking! Tiny little pins.
That's a great description, lifting rather than levering. I got hung up, for months , on Master that had extreme bitting. I SPP all pins with a regular hook, except for pin 4. Pin 5 had to go up just a hair, pin 4 all the way with a deep hook, pin 3 couldn't be touched ! You're very informative. Thanks, man !
Nice 888 abus 72/40. I've seen them on eBay pretty cheap too. Ive got a few with standard yale style keyway. Brady loto locks come standard with the 888 keyway.
@@funkeyfastdrawmonkey1483 same old, same old. Got another interview on Friday, sounds like a better match. Can't hold my breath yey but hope it pans out. Sounds like you are back home and back to normal... I hope.
@@DonzLockz that's the go Don👍😁. Hope all goes well mate. My fingers and toes will be crossed for ya! Yeah all is good here. Im just glad to be back. Got home yesterday arvo, and slept for nearly 15hrs last night lol
Very informative. Haven't tried the one you were showing but master locks and the bull keys training locks I can do with my eyes closed....... most of the time. I'm using a GOSO set right now.
Sounded like that lock was doing a lot of talking to you. Nice loud clicks. Might have been a bit more difficult a pick if those spools had been thinner. I know what you mean about sometimes having to keep recording over and over again yet off camera you get a good pick. Happened to me just last night after two 15 minute failed picks. I switched off the camera and picked it in less than 5 minutes. Still trying to get that good pick on camera. Think I am going to Google that lock of yours and try to get one 👍🏻
Very interesting!! Do you have a video of you picking the other 72/40? I have that kind with the silver disc above and can't get any where with it. I'd like to live vicariously through you picking it 😃
Hi lock Noob I use the same locks at work believe what you have is Loto padlock (lock out tag out) I use the same padlocks when I lock off a switch to a motor or a electrical panel and with the different colours identifying different trades ie red electrical green plumber
They look similar but these are aluminium as where the LOTO locks are plastic so the can be smashed in an emergency. These 72/40's are easily bypassed too, as quick as a key unfortunately. :/
The padlock body is identical to the ones I have in my tool box and the keyway is heavily worded and just about identical and if I’m working on a 400v motor I’m sticking to my aluminium abus 👍
Great work! Gotta say, I love those coloured Abus locks! I only have the one at the minute, mainly due to pricing, but the one I got was dead cheap on amazon so I had to buy it! 😁🥚
its amazing how you move so fast when the music is playing. i had the 72/40 but it was the blue one but a different color. like that maid sense? i never seen em in the shops here its they only sold online.
Cool little lock! Ive heard you can swap the core with an American 1100 and it matches up, never tried but almost looks like it would fit. Thanks for doing the video, keep em coming! 😁
If all the pins are spools, the core of the lock moves and feels sloppy. A single standard pin keeps the core centred when locked and it’s a feature in most Euro cylinders :-)
Lock Noob does that not make it an easier pick as since one pin would tend to keep the cylinder aligned with the centre and therefore not employ the benefits of spools as much?
Chris Conn a good question :-) yes and no is the answer, it depends on too many factors to give a binary answer of yes or no. As long as you have good bitting, high tolerances and I intelligent positioning of the pins, 1 standard out of 6 pins won’t substantially decrease Security imo and could even have other properties that increase it, such as being an anti-bump or tapered pin and being hardened steel and anti-drill :-)
I've got two of these, but the whole core is flat and silver, where as this one has a colored bible cover that protrudes slightly. Are mine a revised version, or are they basically the same as this one?
Where did you get it from? I've bought two 72/40s now hoping for one with that keyway and even though the pictures showed it, they came with the narrow keyway.
While it is a nice little lock for picking, it should be mentioned that this lock has an inexcusable design flaw: it has an unshielded keyway and can be opened with a bypass driver.

I love keyways that spell something: Abus, Cisa...EVVA (maybe!) do you know of any more? Let me know :-)

i saw a master lock #3 that had a keyway that spelled "OPEN"
I have one in gold. Long shackle also. I asked for challenging bitting and boy did I get it!
Abus spelled and highs and lows. Beautiful lock.
Great picking! Tiny little pins.
Yes, the bitting on these can really keep you on your toes :-)
Always interesting to see locks taken apart. So I'm not the only one to save old wipers!! Bob
Wiper blade inserts are the best :-)

Love that music with the gutting very professional sounding not to mention that was a cool pic
Thanks :-)

Great lock and a great job on picking and gutting
Thanks :-)

Picking on camera is just very different and a lot more pressured I find :-)
@@LockNoob I totally agree 👍🏻
I've liked the ideia of using a "drum-like" base to amplify the sound of the pins...
:-)
Ha! All that extra warding and you can pick it with a 0.6mm Sparrows Lunatic.
Well, it’s not ‘good’ warding lol. I love that Lunatic :-)
Very interesting!! Do you have a video of you picking the other 72/40? I have that kind with the silver disc above and can't get any where with it. I'd like to live vicariously through you picking it 😃

Nicely picked👍 I have a ton of these r888 keyway Abus locks. It is harder to use the key, but a very fun pick
Yeah, it’s a bit annoying with they key. Some Assa keyways are the same problem :-)

Very nice padlock ... great keyway!
Thanks :-)
Nicely explained. a great looking padlock
thanks for the video
Thanks :-)
Nicely done...that keyway always gives me trouble.
Thank you :-)
Great work! Gotta say, I love those coloured Abus locks! I only have the one at the minute, mainly due to pricing, but the one I got was dead cheap on amazon so I had to buy it! 😁🥚
Happy picking :-)
Some great locks and a great pick for you!
Thanks :-)
Nicely done again. The 888 is cool but a pretty open keyway. I'm guessing that 72/40 with the 888 keyway is also bypassable as a regular cylinder.🤔
I guess so :-)
Nice picking Lock Noob, I want one now lol. ♥️
You should try and get one if you can :-)
Very cool wish i had one lol sorry haven't been around life in the way hope to be back soon mate !!!!!!!!!
Good to see you back, friend :-)
Very cool my friend i do like Abus nice locks👍😊👍😊😎👌👌
They offer great value to us pickers :-)
its amazing how you move so fast when the music is playing. i had the 72/40 but it was the blue one but a different color. like that maid sense? i never seen em in the shops here its they only sold online.
All the colours of these are great :-)
Cool little lock! Ive heard you can swap the core with an American 1100 and it matches up, never tried but almost looks like it would fit. Thanks for doing the video, keep em coming! 😁
Worth a try I recon :-)
They are great locks!!!
Like them a lot!!!
👍👍👍
They are : )
Nice lock & was very well picked.
Thanks :-)
Nice lock, great pick/gutting...Thanx!
Thanks :-)
nice lock some decent spools thanks for the video
Yes, great fun spools :-)
Very nice padlock, thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks :-)
I love picking these. Great video buddy 👍 🔐
They are great fun and always a challenge :-)
Fun lock, nice work 😉
Thanks :-)
Job well done my friend, and the lock might hate you but we don't, keep Up the good work
Lol, thanks friend :-)
They are hard yo pick but easy to bypass because of the open end, like American Lock
As always great picking!
Thanks :-)
They should have fun in the keyway instead of Abus 🤔🤔😉👍👍
Thanks for sharing 😘😘🍺
I like that idea :-)
My all time favourite padlock, they look so good in blue too. And you can re-pin them. :-)
It’s a must-have Lock for any collection :-)
Why is there often one standard driver with all the remaining drivers as spools? Curious
They are usually hardened for drill protection.
72polara makes sense thx
If all the pins are spools, the core of the lock moves and feels sloppy. A single standard pin keeps the core centred when locked and it’s a feature in most Euro cylinders :-)

I just got one with the standard keyway. It also says, "2FUN" on the bottom. Any explanation?
I've got two of these, but the whole core is flat and silver, where as this one has a colored bible cover that protrudes slightly. Are mine a revised version, or are they basically the same as this one?
very nice lock
Thanks :-)
I have two German made paracentric key ways can’t budge them yet
Where did you get it from? I've bought two 72/40s now hoping for one with that keyway and even though the pictures showed it, they came with the narrow keyway.
I actually don’t know... I think it was a gift :-)
Well explained buddy. Great video .😎
Thanks :-)
Spool-tastic!!
Man of many words. Lol
Indeed :-)
While it is a nice little lock for picking, it should be mentioned that this lock has an inexcusable design flaw: it has an unshielded keyway and can be opened with a bypass driver.
I got mine of eBay with abus keyway.
Cool :-)
