(300) Commando Lock - Picking the Padlock with a Party Trick 

Wooo! Video 300! A lovely lock and a satisfying pick. Thanks to Pete Restall for lending it to me :-)

Love those mad bob wrenches. They look fantastic

I have a commando lock and it’s one of my favorite to pick.

I once raked one of those commando locks it was surprising with how easy that one was

Very interesting lock. Thanks for sharing. Well picked and well constructed especially the tip about the shackle!

Looks like a pretty good lock. I've seen Bosnian Bill's videos on them. Great job picking it. 👏👍

Tough little lock, really cool feature on it as well! Congrats on 300!

Just got one of these, fun pick. Didn't realize it didn't come with the special key. After I picked it the other direction to make sure it would do the trick, I made the special key from the duplicate it came with. That was also quite entertaining. Twice the fun as a regular padlock!

Yes, I've only heard good things about commando locks, but never picked one myself. Great picking and nice trick ;-)

That is an interesting padlock ! Great demo and pick..

I just had to order one just now...thanks!

Very cool lock neat little trick and nice picking👍👍😊😊😎😎

Nice job. Commando seem pretty cool. They are a locksport friendly company which of course is awesome.

Great 300th vid my friend, great picking in that beauty, I really enjoy it ;o)) thanks for your job, and we want 300 more! ;o))

Nice pick and congrats on 300 videos

Good Job mate

Interesting... As the Commando lock I have with swap shackle from low to high uses the the same key and just twists in direction to change. Seems Patrick is using other methods. Great video buddy

Neat lock!

Hey, Noob, I am pretty old, and know a lot of stuff, but as you may know, I am really new to picking. What I would like to see is a beginners guide to key ways. I hear you guys talking about the "typical" Schlage, kwickset, american, etc key ways. When I try to get info on these, I see hundreds of variations. I would love it if you would do a 20 minute "primer" on your opinions of the various really common key ways, with typical pick and wrench combinations you prefer. Also, some examples of paracentric key ways and how to attack them Thanks, R

Really good locks, I own all the models they make..

Commando Lock is quite a good name and it looks pretty nice :D. I have heared that they make very good locks :). Pretty interesting how they made the shackle removable :), that was cool to see and the cutout key looks funny :D (and flimsy haha). Thanks a lot for sharing buddy, great lock :).

I have a few commandos some pick easy and some are tough. I have the one with the IC3 shackle guard which is cool so you have to pick it twice to open it or cheat and use a plug spinner

Congrats on 300 videos buddy. I'll have to check one of these locks out. 👍😊

My first "practice lock" it's pretty challenging. It keeps false setting on me but I can get it once per session It seems

i am not sure,but i have noticed on several of your videos that when you pick a lock you give realy strong pressure on your picks. they bend and twist like any minute they'll snap. do you brake a lot of picks?

Congrats on the tri century!✌ They seem like a descent quality lock. I like the party trick, don't think I've seen that before or maybe just going senile.😁 I seen BB's video ages ago and remember liking them but that's it. I don't think they're available downunder either.✌🙋‍♂️

This took about 8 LPLs ! That's a long time, so would be a lot slower if it was in situ so maybe it's not a bad lock.

I am thinking that you're just teaching thieves and criminals to steal my stuff

You can import these into the UK but the import duty and the service charge make it an expensive exercise.
