@@radix4801 when buying locks I went through his videos to see which he recommended. Never found one!!! So this is a revelation to me Sadly. I already bought my motorcycle's locks
„This is a lock I wouldn’t hesitate to use myself“ Abus Office: People crying and clapping, calling their family at home, celebrate the engineer of that lock, calling their boss names, colleagues kissing in the cafeteria
"Now this is a disc detainer lock" HE'S GONNA SAY IT "The first thing we need to do is rotate all of those discs as far clockwise as they will go" YES "And as I said, we have a disc locking system so I'm reaching all the way to the back where those locking tabs are" SAY IT "Putting a little bit of torque on that tool, and... Just jiggling it around until those tabs let go" LPL MY DUDE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SAY IT SAY IT SAY IT "I've now rotated all those discs to where I want them to be" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA "So we're gonna take out the pick that Bosnian Bill and I made-" YYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
He's been saying similar things like that on a few locks lately, so i'm thinking someone must have called him out on it. Without that comment it can be viewed that he's just crapping on all locks that can be picked. Just because he can pick something doesn't mean it's a bad lock though, he's literally one of the best in the world.
@@TheBetterGame I dunno how many of his vids you've seen but most get picked without fancy tools.. Any person who invests some time into learning the skill could get away with your stuff on lock he deems easily pickable. He's a smart guy, he has thought that part through already..
LPL is the lock picking version of Steve irwin. "Oi look over there! it's an abus, harden steel shackle with an anti disc turning lock. I'm going to pick it"
After using one of these locks, because a motorbike lock gets dirty, it started to gum up and bind. Abus took it in and cleaned it for me and posted it back. Great service.
Yup. Usually it means it's good. Or which he usually hints in the title. has A LOT of vulnerabilities. And also challenge lock videos are longer because he loves taking them apart and showing off the craftsmanship or design of it
I bought the alarmed version of this lock (the 8077) with the thinking that it should be about as good as a disc lock can ever be. Glad to see that holds up!
LPL "This is a lock I wouldn't hesitate to use myself" probably the best advertising a lock maker could ever get and the highest mark of approval in this industry. Something like the Oscar for locks.
"A lock I wouldnt hesitate to use myself, in any case...." WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "...in any case..." A RECOMMENDATION ISNT A NORMAL HOW DO YOU DO! The engineering department of Abus is getting a pizza party to be sure. Sadly, half the QC department is headed to the gallows...
Thank you Lock Picking Laywer for final being the person to ask for a lock picking set this Christmas. I've been wanting one for a while but you finally gave me the proof I needed to say it's for security. You honestly amaze me and maybe one day I'll be as good as you.
I went to asda (british supermarket) yesterday, and on a whim i went to the lock section. The biggest lock i saw had its keys visible, and they were effectively all the same cut. i could probably rake it open with the handle of a spoon
a lot of cheap chinesium locks can be opened by using a screwdriver in the key way and just turning hard, sometimes disintegrating the core revealing the actuator
Wow, as soon as "the pick that Bosnian Bill and I made" entered the scene, I expected this vid to be over within 10 seconds! Job well done ABUS! Shouldnt be too hard to add that extra ball bearing yourself :) Added the lock to wishlist (along with "the pick that Bosnian Bill and LPL made" ofc)
That moment when LPL is your neighbor and he gets bored so starts picking your locks. You offer him the key and he says, No thanks. It'll slow me down.
Well. If I remember correctly, Abus is one of those companies with cores that he brings up in especially older vehicles when comparing it to other locks/cores or showing off some of the better cores in his collection
I bought this lock based on this video. Watching HIM pick it easily did not dissuade me from his recommendation. I should add, mine came with both ball bearings.
Abus are celebrating right now. This will become a yearly thing for them.. 12/6/2019. The day LPL gave us the "This is a lock I wouldn't hesitate to use myself" seal of approval.
Keep in mind, in real life scenarios when this lock is attached to a disc you may have difficulties holding and picking it like this. You may need significantly more time.
I can just imagine everyone in the Abus HQ tossing work papers up in the air and yelling "WE'VE DONE IT BOYS! HE SAID HE WOULD BUY IT!" Edit: thanks for the likes! Despite him only saying he would use it not buy it, my bad lol
@@kirkhamandy they never even reached to this part in the video. the moment he said one of the ball's was missing, they all went to check every single lock they made in that serie and set up a new check system with blind double tests to ever have this happen again. and then probably send him another with a excuse mail for their weak quality :-)
im damn sure ABUS as industry standard in quality, and brilliant locks won't be throwing anything in the air. this is just another day at the office for those boys. You however need to dial down your youtuber man-crush setting to something like grow the fuck up
@@DAGATHire Dry your eyes mate, it's a bit of fun, and most of the other comments are similar to mine. Also, I'll be crushing on anyone I like Have a nice day.
Honestly at this point anything that has a keyway can be picked by this man,somewhere out there somebodies gotta break the mold and make a unique lock with a totally different core
As soon as he rotated all those cores and busted out the pick him and BosnianBill made I figured that lock was done. Game over man. But no, that little lock strapped in, ponyed up to table and held on for an impressive amount of time. Though ultimately defeated, it went down like a champ and earned a stoic nod of approval, and endorsement from its foe.
LPL Before 1000 videos: "These locks are all terrible man, what are you guys doing with your life? I'm looking at you, Master" LPL After 1000 videos: "This lock is pretty above average" LPL After 2000 videos: "These locks pale in comparison to the locks Bosnian Bill and I designed"
Lol. Mrs. LPL doesn't get much traction in the lock stuff. He tried getting her interested in lockpicking with an ice cream tub lock and she gleefully just cut the bottom out to tease him.
Wow! a rare "Its a lock that I wouldnt hesitate to use myself" endorsement! Abus must be very happy with that, but I wouldn't want to the quality control person for that day!
Some people thought the brass one he used in a video a few videos ago was the one he made and quite a few people commented saying he wasn't giving credit....they just didn't remember the correct pick.
I had passed over this one cause of QC problems mentioned in Amazon reviews (including problems with the ball bearing) but you loving it so much makes me want to toss the dice on getting a well made one.
Have you ever considered a video on picking knox boxes. These are antiquated devices that are used to this day to lock property keys away for fire department use. Lets face it if there is a fire, the firemen are breaking down doors anyway.
usually it's for home assistance because they visit a lot of elderly people so to get in the key is locked in there for them. As you said, the fire department will just knock the entire door down.
Wow, Lpl’s vocabulary and speech skills really are a cut above. He always uses the perfect descriptor without speaking in a needlessly complex way, although I guess that is what you would expect of a lawyer.
It would be missing. Certain things are expected--if you use a lock with a ball bearing lock mechanism, certain sounds are made. If you know the mechanism's sounds well enough, you can tell by hearing if one's missing.
Until you realize how phenomenally good LPL is, even among locksports. For anything that requires SPP, most criminals would give up and go straight to brute force attacks-or find an easier target.
The simple version? the pick's business end has two parts. The outer part is designed to tension the lock mechanism, similar to a pin-style lock's keyway tensioning tool. the inner part is connected to the knob at the back that can slide in and out--this is the actual pick. the graduated marks on the back are for guiding you in finding the disks--they're spaced the normal distance apart, so you know how far in or out you have to go. rotate the knob, you turn the disk the pick is on. Don't ask me to DO it, I don't know the actual technique. But I can see and describe it, at a basic level.
He's endorsed a few. A couple he didn't bother to endorse because you just can't get them legally (like that chinese power company gauge lock). and some he'd endorse if the build quality of the rest of the lock matched the standard of the core. He also had no issues with certain locks not meant for security (Like Master's plastic body LOTO lock model--his only beef there is why such a great core isn't used in an actual security lock).
@@9HighFlyer9 Are you serious right now... It was a QC issue, and I guarantee Abus will replace it. You can't base your opinion of a product on the one lemon you got.
I like how even a lock he /would/ endorse just *happens* to have a fatal flaw - thus, robbing the company of complete glory. "This is a lock forged from pure diamond. It has a core made from pure molten lava that only hardens and responds when this specific proprietary alloy that coats its keys is introduced - thus, ensuring that any other picking attempts result in tools being disintegrated, pretty much ensuring this model to be unpickable." *company pumps fists* "However..." *company un-pumps fists* "This *particular* lock just so happens to have a 1-in-1,000,000,000,000 flaw due to the lock being assembled on Tuesday, after 2pm, in a snowstorm, while a guy named 'Jack' walks past eating an expired granola bar, where - if you rub some ink from one of those multi-colored pens from the 80's - inside the shackle, it will pop right open. I just happen to have one such pen, right here..." Company: "**FUUUUUCK!!!**"
Got a yellow ABUS Granit Detecto X-Plus 8077 myself. It's a great piece of kit by German engineers, even if quite expensive. Worth every cent though, wouldn't have any other disc lock.
