Hearing you explain it and visualizing what's happening inside, there's no small amount of skill involved. And then making a tool that gets picked up for commercial use, well done indeed sir!
This has to be a different one than LPL talks about because he refers to it as the Pick that Bosnianbill and I made and your calling the the Pick that LPL and I made. HUMMM LOL great tool for those in the sport picking world.
Bill, it's been a while since I picked a lock. Well... long story short here I am again and just realized that you have retired. Thank you sir, for the years of experience and education you have provided via TH-cam.
Happy retirement, thank you for your contribution to the sport, the body of knowledge for the amateur and for helping to create an excellent tool that will become a part of your legacy. Enjoy your family time.
Great they are finally released. Now everyone can say, "I'm gonna pick this lock with the pick that Bosnian Bill & LPL made". Lol. I will try to get one on the next batch.👍👍👍
Don'z Lockz Yeah it's been a long time coming. Imagine every video using this tool actually says that though😂 They did sell out pretty quick but I think I might wait for some more review vids as I have the Black Flags😬
@@KeylessEntry yup, the black flag set should be removed from sale. I think the DD pick has the quality as it needs to be very precise and BB & LPL were overseeing it with progress input. The black flag set looks the part but the steel is worse than chinesium. We see ppl hocking off the black flags in giveaways. Lol
Happy retirement, Bill. Thank you for all the knowledge you've shared with us, and congratulations on having more time for the family. Much love from all of us here, and Godspeed to you.
Have fun with your retirement Bill. I'm your honor, I bought the pick that you and Lockpicking Lawyer made. I'll reference this video when I get that and the lock.
Hi Bill. I wanted to thank you for all the fantastic wealth of information that you have shared with us. This was a lot of work and it has made a dent in the universe. Enjoy your retirement.
Happy Retirement Bill. Yes, it is a bit late but I'm just starting and watched your videos for such great learning. I retired 2.5 years ago, left America, and I'm living in Medellin, Colombia. So now I have time to find new hobbies.
Ordered mine from Sparrows Canada early in the morning Wednesday (not Thursday) and received it the next day! Great service Sparrows! Was waiting for this to be released and was not disappointed, great work BB and LPL! THANKS!
Finally got mine ordered from sparrows, I watch you an LPL all the time so I’m excited to have a quality tool that was purpose built by pros. Thanks for the video!
I heard the news. Thanks for all the work and effort you put over the years. And thanks for making me feel like I could break into Fort Knox with a little practice.
This is a must video (in addition the disk detainer cut-away video from Bosnianbill) If you own this tool. I tried to just watch LPL do this and it cost me hours of frustration lol. Thanks Bosnianbill!
Appreciate all the information and videos over the years. Your videos have helped me progress further as a lock-picker/locksmith and a better maker. I’ve just recently started down the road of videoing some of the locks I have picked. Thank again!!!
I got my pick this week. I am over the moon! So excited Sadly, there is a colossal failure I've noticed. Quick spoiler, at the end of the day I still absolutely love this tool and would have bought more of it wasn't a limit one per customer. The failure I ran into is the tensioning prongs are too short for some locks with an anti drill collar. They chew up the edges of the first disk because they dont sit propper center on the first disk. It is possible I am doing something wrong and an open to any advice from other users. Any lock without that anti drill collar obviously does not have any issue. The trickiest part of picking is keeping tention torque perfectly aligned so the tip spins true. Lastly the tip may be tight in the key way. that's not really a problem. Just an observation. I plan to modify my tool to address the short prongs. Probably a terrible idea but I plan to buy a second one when they come back in stock and the tool now, with its short prongs, is useless on locks with fat anti drill collars. The good news. This tool is absolutely incredible! Being able to adjust the tool during set up makes picking easier is a huge plus. The lines on the handle takes some of the guess work out with some practice. I have a few personal tricks I want to try with some outside accessories in hopes to make picking easier. Thank you LpL and BB for this great tool, oh ya, and sparrows for manufacturing.
Thanks for the wealth of information @BosnianBill Wishing you happiness in your retirement and doing what matters most. Thank you for your time and the passion you've invested in this channel and it's videos.
I have practiced so many pin and tumbler locks and have 1 "training" lock that's a disc detainer core that I have been waiting months to try and pick. I have waited since I saw the first prototype you guys made and decided not to buy a cheap knock off. I can not wait to get my hands on one and try. So happy Sparrows picked it up and started producing them! I hope they are back on stock soon.
That's a beautiful pick, I love the black and red color scheme.... I'd get one just because it's beautiful and could be useful in the zombie apocalypse. LoL
GREAT Review Bill absolutely amazing New Tool waiting for more stock great price point one pick for many disc locks instead of having many picks great job and THANK you Bill and LPL. for designing it.🌟⭐🌟⭐🌟😎
Just want to say, I love the content, and many thanks for insisting on the affordable price! Checked the site just the other day, and now they're all gone already!
@Bosnianbill - I have a general question, relevant to this video but mainly relevant for newish lock pickers everywhere. Without having to search the Internet every time, how does one know what type of lock we're faced with if confronted with an unknown lock? Pin tumbler, dimple, disc detainer, etc etc - with so many makes and model numbers out there, do we have to just learn them, or is there a way to tell? This happened to me when we lost the key to the padlock on an old garden shed, and I said "Oh, no problem, I'll just pick it". It took an hour of stuffing around, using every pick in the bag, and I still had no idea what type of lock it was. Then my wife came out and said "Is this the key?" It was on an old key ring of spare keys and it worked...!! So how do we know? How can we tell? Are there any clues to look for? By the way, the garden shed padlock was an unnamed brand that was some weird pin tumbler/dimple hybrid I think - the key had bitting on the top edge but also dimples on both sides.
Pete, as you gain a little experience and familiarity with locks you will find it easy to determine what kind of lock you are facing. Pin tumblers and disc detainers are quite different in appearance, as are dimple locks. Soon, with a short glance, you will know what kind of lock it is and that will determine which pick to use.
@@kyletaylor9980 was for like a day and they were gone again. I can't even use mine yet as I don't have any disc detainer locks but I wasn't waiting months again to be able to pick one up. I'm very happy with my purchase!
@@kyletaylor9980 that's exactly where I'm at! I ordered a few that will be here tomorrow to practice with. I also have my friends and family on the lookout. Lol
Hi Bill, got mine through this week, but both tips were spinning before I even got it into a lock :( just from very light finger pressure. On close inspection I i could only see a hairs-width of weld between the tip and the rod at 2-points, and it just seemed to be mostly friction-fit.... I'll silver-solder them back on, but assuming I just got bad couple from a friday-evening batch.... It is otherwise a beautifully made (and designed) piece of kit!!, and I certainly wouldn't want to put anyone off it!!
Great instruction video Bill, thanks for making and sharing this, and of course to you and LPL for working with Sparrows to make this good quality and affordable!
I was curious, when originally making this pick, did the inspiration come from the handle of an old school safety razor? I'm assuming you are familiar with those and I hope this question doesn't come off as stupid or anything.
@@aslurmyfrog I'm not sure what brands mine are, I have two and both were given to me by my father. I want to go buy a cheap one and gut it and see what I can come up with...Happy Picking Rogue Pickers!!!
It's wired to see you using this Bill. 🤣 So used to seeing LPL's 2-3 minute videos. Click out of 2 4 maybe in a gate, back to the start, click out of 1 and it's open 😲 I'm s little behind the curve but TH-cam showed me the design and build videos for this yesterday. Nice work
Or they were until they bought one! :D Janes Fair: They listed the price as 1,000,000 CAD to keep people from forcing them into their cart. They will put the price back at their "usual" price once they are back in stock.
@@jamesfair9751 Sparrows website is charging 1 million dollars for the item now. To discourage people from placing an unavailable item into the shopping cart.
I noticed at the Lock Picking Lawyer's channel this notable pick is known as The Pick that Bosnian Bill and I Made. I’ve been thinking, when these picks become more numerous what if they decide to split up and choose sides? It could be disastrous! Can you imagine thousands of these picks fighting to see which one gets to pick the next lock? What if they decided they wanted independence? Or, heaven forbid they just don’t like each other? Other picks could start joining one side or the other it could mean all out war! No wonder that company wants a million dollars!
1 tip I can mention too, hopefully it can help someone struggling, is make sure u don't stick the disc pick too far into the lock. U might end up tensioning the first disc and then ull never be able to pick it
Great video on showing the pick in action and explaining it's features👌 I would of liked the tip been made from a single piece for more strength and durability. I wonder if Sparrows are going to sell extra tips as there are various keyways. Now get to work on a non front disk tensioning version lol.
Janes Fair But 99% of DD locks don't tension from the front, only 99% of the cheap low security locks. I have quite a few locks that tension from the rear disk or a random mid disk like the Abus 88/50 plus and countless others. I had to heavily modify a cheap Chinese DD pick, the one with the blue handle, to pick them. The Sparrows DD pick will only pick front disc tensioning DD locks.
Janes Fair This tool's design is based on front tensioning and agree it can be used to tension from other discs but it's quite difficult especially with locks that have multiple false gates. That's why I have 2 very different DD picks. I would like to see BB or LPL open an Abloy Protec2 core with this tool without having a lot of trouble. All I'm saying in my original comment is it would be great to see a quality non front tensioning pick from Sparrows.
One other thing to understand with dd locks is that the first disc can sometimes need to be turned counterclockwise while tensioning from a zero cut disc to achieve an open.

Happy retirement, Bill. The knowledge you shared through your channel is immeasurable.
Hearing you explain it and visualizing what's happening inside, there's no small amount of skill involved. And then making a tool that gets picked up for commercial use, well done indeed sir!
Alternate title: "How to be gentle with your tip"
Almost thought this was a LPL April Fool's video.
Just the tip thats all he needs :P
2nd step aim
3rd step go deep.
The deeper you stick it in, the gentler you have to be with the tip.
Just the tip, and only for a minute
This has to be a different one than LPL talks about because he refers to it as the Pick that Bosnianbill and I made and your calling the the Pick that LPL and I made. HUMMM LOL great tool for those in the sport picking world.
You're absolutely right, this has to be a different pick.
It's a Sasquatch tool I heard a lot about it , seen a couple videos but I don't think it's real.
It's the Sasquatch pick we've all heard a lot about it and seen some videos but I don't know anybody who has one or seen one in real life
What are you trying to say?
Does anyone know when they will be releasing their second round of Detainer picks?

you would think so, but they are sold out, and pre-order is $1,000,000.00
Don'z Lockz Yeah it's been a long time coming. Imagine every video using this tool actually says that though😂
They did sell out pretty quick but I think I might wait for some more review vids as I have the Black Flags😬
@@KeylessEntry same here. Sparrows made me nervous of their new stuff after the Black Flags
Grey HazRoot I'd have to agree
@@KeylessEntry yup, the black flag set should be removed from sale. I think the DD pick has the quality as it needs to be very precise and BB & LPL were overseeing it with progress input.

Thanks Bill, that was the best lesson on picking DD locks that I've seen. Can't wait to get my pick.
Hi Bill. I wanted to thank you for all the fantastic wealth of information that you have shared with us. This was a lot of work and it has made a dent in the universe. Enjoy your retirement.
Thanks for all of the amazing videos. Watching the creative process on this particular pick was pretty cool. I wish you the best on your retirement.

There is a whole series following the progression from idea to working prototype

fucking idiot
it's perfect! the tool goes in and out, left and right, and twists to hit that sweet slot. yep thats the excuse im giving my wife to buy it
be gentle with the tip though
and plz edit this to "sweet spot" and not "sweet slot"... your wife will love you even more!
Remarkably convenient timing on this one Bill. Thank you!
OMG, he actually called is turning force "torque", how refreshing that he's using the correct term. That's awesome BB!

got mine through this week, but both tips were spinning before I even got it into a lock :( just from very light finger pressure.

One other thing to understand with dd locks is that the first disc can sometimes need to be turned counterclockwise while tensioning from a zero cut disc to achieve an open.
Got a shipping notice yesterday so its in the mail - pity Canada is so far away from Sweden.. :P
