Nice pick! I am trying an Abus No.41, it also has a nasty key way. Almost cracked it last night but seem to get false sets and loose it several times.The 45mm size is a pain but I struggle away! Thanks for the French flag, very considerate & subtle. (The padlocks I am trying were used at a local zoo!)
+Peter M Thanks. Regarding the Abus 41, check out my video #65. I assume that's the same keyway. My preference for dealing with that keyway is to use a .015" medium hook (leveraging off the bottom of the keyway) in conjunction with top of the keyway tension. With that lock, dealing with the warding and accessing the pins is more than half the battle. Good luck!
i picked this one by luck few times with your FNG set lol, and now seeking for more tools to deal with future challenges, and it's hella fun after playing gunsmithing!
i bought mine from germany and its the same! i cant get past that paracentric keyway! got a false set but not enough room to manouvre any of my picks! thanks for uploading this!
main problem is i dont have a tensioner thin enough to do top-of-the-keyway, and bottom of the keyway takes up all the picking room... what thickness is that flat5?
+chris howard Thanks. The flat five are a variety of thicknesses and widths. They are excellent for tight TOK tension... that's the only reason they are in my kit.
Opens it in 45 seconds, and has the gaul to say, "It put up a fight." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LPL, puhleez, you can do that in your sleep with one arm tied behind your back. Happy New Year.
I came here to see which kind of tension you used; my TOKs (typical Peterson pry bars) seem long enough to bind up the first pin, but maybe it's just me. I've had successful open results using BOK tension, which doesn't leave much room but it does work, as I use the skinny end of the .50" Covert Inst BOK wrench, (which are currently my BOK favorites).
I have the same lock bought at Wallmart...well four of them but they have Popular Mechanics on them. But they have 5 pins 4 security and these are the looks I chose to learn on... I was wondering why picking locks was so hard!!!!
Blimey, you are getting feedback and counter-rotation straight away. I've just got a 55/40 and spent hours on it yesterday, and I don't feel anything. I guess that's where experience and practice helps. I've cracked all the other ones leading up to it though :) Thanks again HL
+LockPickingLawyer I have a 45/40 that picks OK. The 55/40 you got I also found particularly hard to open. I was thinking that it is related to age of the lock. I have picked other ABUS padlocks (don't know if the 55/40 was thereby) but never experienced a hard pick like that.
I hate how good you are. I'm working on doing spools and am still having some trouble I think I release too much tension when feeling counter rotation that I end up dropping the other pins back down. Back to practice.
I'm only able to get a few master locks open right now. It's going to take a lot of practice to get better. This hobby caught me by surprise. I stumbled across one of LPLs videos by mistake and was instantly mesmerized. I love the community here. So positive toward each other. And funny too!
I have the same with very deep first cut, very shallow second, very deep third and very shallow forth and fifth. I got it for my orange belt and still unable to open. This keyway is NASTY.
If u can do alittle more on this lock it would be really helpful. I u need one of the cheap Popular Mechanics version let me know...I believe u can still purchas them online. But for a cheap lock it's nasty!!!!!
I don't fully understand any of the terminology in the video, or how exactly he picked it... But I tried my best to pick the same model just now, and it's safe to say... I failed.
It is a truly disgusting little keyway, my tensioners do not even fit in it ! UK version, not sure if it's been updated even further with an even smaller keyway?
I just got one of these, EU version. its weird that they are considered easier than abus64's on the beltranking site, the keyway is nasty, and they have spools
I recently got one just like this from ebay - plus high/low bitting. Seller was toolsdirect2u, who seems to have more. No guarantee all have the same keyway, though...

Thanks for mentioning the tension wrench you used. None of mine are able to hold on to the top of that keyway, so I guess I'll need to go shopping
Leuk om zo'n een ( 1 ) eersten video's te zien!😀
Nice work despite a mean keyway. I love how smooth your picking is done.
+TheDavesnothere11 Thanks.

I've got one. Bought it here in Sweden. Thanks for the nice video.

I'm having the same problem, my tensioners barely fit and I only have 0.25 picks and I can't maneuver them enough to set the pins

I've been stuck on one of these for a while, seems we get the nasty keyway in the UK too :/
Just got 3 (UK) I can't seem to get a pick in let alone onto a pin..;)
Same, feel like I'm really close, but probably oversetting one of the pins. Watching LPL again for inspiration :)
Same 5 pins and keyway in Norway!

Nice picking. Yes, I think that's the mean old little lock I sent to Joshua a while ago.
+Potti314 It puts up quite a fight for a tiny little lock. Is this typical of the 55/40 locks in Germany? The 55/40 in the USA is a MUCH easier pick.
+LockPickingLawyer I have a 45/40 that picks OK. The 55/40 you got I also found particularly hard to open. I was thinking that it is related to age of the lock. I have picked other ABUS padlocks (don't know if the 55/40 was thereby) but never experienced a hard pick like that.

Just got a couple of these, after getting a lockpick set. I can barely get the pick inside.
Great picking, nice smoothly done.
+LDU2U Thanks.
I accidentally ordered this lock and I'm struggling with 0.25 picks, I really need thinner ones
I have the same with very deep first cut, very shallow second, very deep third and very shallow forth and fifth. I got it for my orange belt and still unable to open. This keyway is NASTY.
I couldn't make out which part of the key way you were picking off. did you work from the slopey ledge on the right?
It looks like a well used lock also.
Yes, this one was in the weather for some time.
This is the first lock I've been able to pick regularly.
now to wait until they finally add picks to tarkov kek
@@visvge4934 Like my guitar picks? ;)
@@VeritasGames we both know that nikita shreds, bring guitars in raid when?

+Jeff Moss Thanks.

Yep UK abus locks are the same 5pin and a nasty little keyway
I have just received 0.015 picks and I can't even get the back pin pressed down
I just got one of these, EU version. its weird that they are considered easier than abus64's on the beltranking site, the keyway is nasty, and they have spools
Can a comb be used on this one?
nicolelepage1
There’s no way you can get a comb pick into this key way.
I guess the North American version can be bypassed with a comb pick.
When he has to put it in the vise it’s more difficult
I recently got one just like this from ebay - plus high/low bitting. Seller was toolsdirect2u, who seems to have more. No guarantee all have the same keyway, though...
+sheerluck Thanks for the tip. I'll take a look.
I can't even pick the NA version I cant get the pick in without oversetting every pin
just checked my small abuss 65/40 that's a 5 Pinner ( England )
+tonyholt90 Same keyway?
LockPickingLawyer my 55/40 from the uk has the same keyway. drives me nuts.
$6 shipped on ebay rite now
But not with that keyway... and I already have the one with the standard keyway.
+LockPickingLawyer just sharing the deals brother
+LockPickingLawyer walmart has master 931 wide body locks on sale for $20.34
