He's a great picker and a wonderful guy! Nice shout-out! Great tips on this! I haven't picked one of these yet, but most I have seen do have extreme bitting! Love the tips on 0 lift pins and figuring out how to determine which ones they are!! I do think, personally, sprung cores are helpfull. Some people say dead cores make no difference in the feel. I think it does! Very good explanation of why! This was a very good overview of this lock and how to learn it and pick it! Thank you!
I agree that dead cores feel different. The biggest part of it for me is that when trying to ease up on the tension, you don't have a spring assisting you. It is all down to you and how you manipulate the tensioner, which helps you to develop a more subtle touch with the tension. I love the 410! You say you haven't tried one yet; I highly recommend it!
@@pugspickslocks I like that bit of spring assist! I do agree though it teaches you to develop a more subtle touch with the tension! It is most definitely on my future list!
Brilliant locks for spools. I think they're a tad harder than the abus 72/40 because of that keyway. Maybe for a content idea you could do a comparison for your other viewers.Sadistic is an awesome guy and someone I'm happy to call a friend since he started 🫶 love your content by the way. Have a great week pugs 👌🫶🤜🤛😊
Hey thanks Nick! Your my favorite weiner homie😳😝👏😂. Whenever i see you post that i fecken die. Has been much of an uplift on some crappy days. So thanks for bein a friend. One of the first friends i made in locksport! Love this community and the people that drive it! Thanks for the kind words.🤘😎!!
Oh! The 72/40 is a fun pick as well! Same with the PacLock PL-410 LOTO. I love the comparison idea. Maybe I could compare all three of them. I don't know sadistic picker personally, but I can see all the good things you say about him being true!
@@pugspickslocks that's another lock added to the list I haven't got lol appreciate that one. I'll be on the hunt for one of those 😉yes do all three I'm keen to see ( said the cat in the hat 😂😂)🤜🤛👌
They are the nemesis of many... And then one day they makes sense. Try setting pin five first. It's the serrated pin and if it's binding, it'll get you into into a false set that will allow you to go after the spools.
410s are great locks for picking. They can teach you so much and once you get a feel for them, are so much fun! They can be frustrating at first, though.
Great point here-and ones that will pay off in future locks too! (I'm working on some stubborn Euros that needed to hear some of these lessons again....)
Thanks for this informative vid, just managed to pick the 410 I just got, and your tips and advice very much came in handy I will mention that I did manage to pick using bottom of the keyway tension and I think I have a bit more learning to do when traversing every pin, I seem to keep running into the serrated pins on 5 earlier than expected Going to try top of the keyway stuffs but I am unsure of how well I'll do there given that I've been doing bottom of the keyway with every lock I've picked prior to this one Anyways thanks for the very useful info!
I have a serious preference for bottom of the keyway tension, and with new locks, I'll start there, unless the keyway is so small that it isn't possible. The lock will tell you if you need top of the keyway or if bottom of the keyway will work. If there are high lifts in the back, and low lifts in front of them, that's often when you need the extra room that top of the keyway will give you.

@@pugspickslocks kind of you to say 🙏

I have hated these locks with a passion. Thank you for this video 😊

I have a 410 arriving today.Always good to do some research and this was the perfect find.Thanks Pugs for a great video👍🏻

@@pugspickslocks indeed they can.I’m waiting on a new set of deeper hooks to arrive then il be away I hope🤞🏻
Great point here-and ones that will pay off in future locks too! (I'm working on some stubborn Euros that needed to hear some of these lessons again....)
Thanks Jeff! And you're absolutely right! Most lessons learned on any one lock, are generally skillsets that can be transferred to another.

Going to try top of the keyway stuffs but I am unsure of how well I'll do there given that I've been doing bottom of the keyway with every lock I've picked prior to this one
