Guessing most "novices" don't opt for a lishi if trying to quickly bypass a lock. Most novices with an angle grinder or bolt cutters could've opened this twice in the amount of time LPL did picking it.
Yeah, a 1-minute pick from one of the best pickers in the world, *with* a specialized tool, is the mark of a *good* lock. Not amazing, but certainly worth using.
The 83 series is more about rekeying capability and compatibility with door locks and other industry standard cylinders, not more exotic high-security cores. But the cores they make for them are much nicer than normal door locks or generic KiK cylinders (which they can also accept for using keyways Abus doesn't make. Oh and they have SFIC versions of several models too)
Looked demanding. No easy entry with that tool. It will not be easier with a traditional pick and turner. Especially not in the wild where can not chose the position. I would say this is more than enough pick-resistance for a real application. If someone realy want to pass, they will cut it.
@@Leslaron Which *can* be enough - assuming your picker isn't persistent and won't look for easier targets, or your security apparatus limits the amount of time a picker has before they're discovered and apprehended. This lock lasted a solid minute against an extremely-skilled lockpicker using exactly the correct tool for this lock under ideal conditions and no pressure - that's actually pretty damn good pick resistance.
@@LeslaronWe had the police over at our house to see how secure it is and what we could improve. They said the same thing: If they want to get in, they find a way. The more you delay them, the higher their risk to be detected. Most let go after little time already.
Doesn matter if its a total beginner, aslong they seen this video and bought one of hes tools. He litterly sells and shows the means to do it fast and easy :P Not that i blame him. Others do the same , and before he did. But locks would be atleast safer if NONE sold tools like that for any to buy on the internet easily. But yes thief would still just make there own tools.
It‘s not sufficient to have that tool. It makes picking easier but it doesn’t turn a novice into an expert. A novice wouldn’t feel that pin dropping, especially if not at home in a quiet setting, get frustrated and give up.
@@UltraSuperDuperFreak That is not exactly true, you would first need to actually learn how the tools and locks work. You would also need to be able to do it quickly and discretely because obviously anyone trying to pick a lock is suspicious. Not to mention that you would be in an environment that is likely busy so noise+distractions will make picking in the first place difficult.

ABUS is not publicly traded stock. It's a private owned company in Wetter (Germany). And the owning family still manages it. (At least the male ones. Females not so much.)
That lock deserved a proper picking. Those Lishi tools make it much easier. That said, the lock put up a good fight. Had to play whack-a-mole with 4 and 5.
Yeah, I'm always a little bit disappointed when the Lishis come out. I mean, I know it still takes a lot of skill, I know I couldn't pick it even with a Lishi tool, but I just enjoy videos more when he gets in there with a pick, you know?
@@timothyquinn4919 agreed, I just think this particular lock needed a old school single pin pick for the anniversary model. Abus makes some fun locks. Who doesn't love a 72/40?
I tend to use ABUS locks quite frequently as they have some models that currently are the cheapest ones that's certified by the insurance company I use. And that is enough security for the shed I've filled up with the more dissapoining tools that doesn't deserve a place in the garage
Abus makes quality padlocks, easy to work on and I love the convenient pinning window (be careful not to drop pinning window rotation limiter into bible pin chambers = serious core seizure)
He did find a lock he couldn't pick, once upon a time. He had to cheat and shim it. Before anyone says that counts, go watch video 1241. He says much the same.
@@GAMarine137 I'm sure he could design better locks, but so could all the existing lock makers. I'm sure even Master knows what it would take to build a more secure lock, but they probably figure it's not worth the extra cost because most of their customers would complain about the price increase.
Subtly putting Master Lock to shame at the end was a funny move, and LPL didn't even have to pick it open. We just collectively know that the brand's products are inferior 😂 the only thing missing was a "dunce" hat on it.
both the 543 and Rotasera by Bowley, he has not picked a protec2 either and many others. He wont show locks he cant pick as it does not help his image now that he sells lock picks and wants to be perceived as the best lock picker even though he is probable not in the top 10.
Didn't anybody felt some disappointment when LPL whipped out that Lishi tool?? It was almost like LPL took the candy from a toddler. LPL and Lishi's... It just doesn't seem right! In my opinion, this should have been single pin picked, and was really expecting that.
I'd like to see you do a video (or a series of videos) on locks that have stumped you, took a ridiculous amount of time to pick, required very special or custom tooling, or otherwise thwarted advanced picking methods. I enjoy your content but the current routine of "here's a crappy lock I can pick in under 60 seconds" is getting a bit old.

Lol, right? The pluck of him to bring out a Masterlock at the end. Lol
Funny comment but I did see one video where he didn't mention Masterlock once.
Pro tip: if you ever feel overheated on a hot summer day, go sit ontop of a Master lock, because that's where al the shade is thrown.

Although celebrating Abus by calling them "better than Masterlock" does feel a bit like damning with faint praise.

Absolutely.

@@bhough410 very true, at that point what more pick resistance can you ask for out of a small padlock?
And then completely destroys and roasts MasterLock in the same sentence!

right. some of these videos the intro of the lock is longer then picking it

Started the pick at 0:53 and ended at 1:53. Surviving a minute against LPL and his specialist tools is very competent work.
The tool isn't uncommon at all, it's just the easiest way to decide a lock for making a new key.

Surprised you didn't drop the Masterlock on the floor and watch it open itself there!
That's another video 😉.
That would be mcnally
@@Giuliana-w1f If it didn't unlock from the drop itself, McNally would just throw another one at it to get the job done.
It's a Masterlock. All LPL has to do is angrily stare at it and it will unlock.
It was rated by Master Lock at security level 9, which means he'll probably need the comb pick rather than the wave rake.
Thats a huge compliment coming from LPL
I'm locked in, boys.
💀
Tension on 1, 3 is binding, still binding, nothing on 4, nice click there, nothing on 2, click out of 5 and we got this open. You are good now.

In the end you can either use this one Abus lock or 100 Master Lock's. Depends on you and your comfort zone. Quality vs. Quantity. 😂
Well you could develop carpal tunnel from using a wave rake 100 times against the Master locks....

I'll take this as an endorsement for the next lock I should buy
Happy Birthday to Abus!!!
LPL wishing a lock company a, 'happy birthday' is an unequivocal endorsement.
Taking a full minute with a Lishi tool to open their lock and declaring it not a novice lock is one of the best endorsements on this channel, too.
That's a nice-looking lock. 👍

Nice lock.
Over a minute with a Lishi!?
Bravissimo!
Mind-bending question: Could LPL design a lock that even himself could not pick ???
Not LPL but 2 TH-camrs tried. The recent one was from Works By Design and a very fun watch.
He did find a lock he couldn't pick, once upon a time. He had to cheat and shim it. Before anyone says that counts, go watch video 1241. He says much the same.
Yeah, I know others have tried. My general point would be if LPL started his own lock company to lead the market

Yes, God could absolutely create a rock so heavy even He couldn't lift it... And then He'd pick it right up. Same basic principle with LPL.
Wow, took him an entire minute. Must be a good lock
LPL bringing out the Lishi is the highest compliment for a lock like that. Abus should be proud.
Subtly putting Master Lock to shame at the end was a funny move, and LPL didn't even have to pick it open. We just collectively know that the brand's products are inferior 😂 the only thing missing was a "dunce" hat on it.
For a moment there i thought the Master Lock was offering $5000 if you picked it. But that would put them out of business.
LPL's average: 30 seconds. This one: 60 seconds! If that's not a ringing endorsement, I don't know what is!
60 seconds _with a specialized tool._ That's a damn good lock.

Frankly if LPL was there in 1924, none of these companies would be here today.
Neither would LPL. He would be hoovered up into a secret unit for WW2 and we would never hear anything from him.

"... you're one of the better ones." is the LPL's equivalent of an Oscar or Emmy.

Why does the lock from the other Big Lock Company™️ look like such a joke SuperVinlin
So, judging from this video - basically unpickable.
I spent $84 on an Abus padlock based on LPLs glowing reviews
LPL: HBD to ABUS
Also LPL 30 seconds earlier: Busted ABUS product in a minute😂
I guess ABUS truly wish their product did not appear in LPL's channel

"Abus, when compared with Master Lock, is ONE OF the better ones".
