@@jamesmartin8385 Indeed - everyone here is in awe of lock picking whereas we should focus on getting to the secured property. And cutters work pretty efficiently against all those weak shackles. It's not elegant but for most real-life use cases (theft, to be specific) it is not a requirement.
@@paweskarzynski8068 approaching with bolt cutters is too obvious, and if there's no alarm system in whatever the lock is holding, picking the lock, and then re-locking the lock after buys you a lot of extra time before the owner of said stolen goods realises there's been a theft. Then again, who needs lock picking or even a bolt cutter when all you need are two spanners, especially on this flimsy lock.
when he said it could be opened with a screwdriver, I thought he was gonna wedge a screwdriver in there to pop it open. Not once did I think someone would be stupid enough to produce a lock that you can unscrew and dismantle.
That's what I thought. Even for a few seconds after the video ended, I wondered why wasn't the screwdriver wedging shown. Like you, I can't comprehend that level of stupidity.
@@jaycahow4667 Or even better - you can ruin screw heads with wrong screwdriver bit or drill. Or you can combine this. Anyway, this lock can be cutted off in a moment with full-size multitool.
My guess in this situation is they know this is a novelty item and are just trying to sell them as such, for low security related usages, thanks to the incredible reach LPL has.
It makes sense for a company to get an outside perspective if they're trying to find any overlooked aspects of a locks security. Vaultek is a great example of this. But this company? Maybe they thought it would be fun to get roasted or something lol
I was thinking the same, my magnetic drivers barely hold one screw at a time let alone multiple screws. Life hack: i always have a small stack of neodimium magnets on my desk that i stick to my driver when i need decent magnetism
Best, reliable, padlock reviews I've seen to date. Apparently gives an unbiased assessment of features (or lack thereof) on the locks. Doesn't just give audio commentary but offers visual evidence to back up his claims. 👍
Imagine there's 50 screws and, if you take them out in the wrong order, a second set of cam locking spring-loaded bolts engage making it so the safe can only be cut open while a rolled up note pops out of one of the screw holes reading "Better luck next time."
Temmie you do realise feedback is feedback right? You run a business you make a product you must have feedback for your business/product to work/sell properly
I like how hard he tried to give them their moneys worth. He went through all the features, demonstrated how easy it was to use.... and THEN crushed their souls.
The company that send him this lock : "hehe he can't use his usual picking methods as there is no keyhole in the lock" *LPL unlocks with a screwdriver*
rejith r the most damage you can ever cause with one item has to be a screwdriver, brought one into my school one day and so did my friends and we went around disassembling things, like the open door on the janitors closet (we left the screws and door behind of course, professionals have standards). We dismantled a cart in the gym so when someone started pushing it, all the balls would spill out across the gym floor, everything, needless to say, there has been a ban on screwdrivers from everywhere but our tech shop for the last 2 years.
We once got a new key to the front door of our building. The guy put the new keys INSIDE my mailbox. Naturaly the key to the mailbox was in my flat. So when I came home. I just ripped it open. Since then the box is hold shut by magnets. I figured if I can rip the lock out myself, I dont realy need one.
"That roast has some serious design flaws in the seasoning, and is overall not well manufactured. It can be easily eaten with simple tools and without any major enjoyment."
When I read the video title "Fingerprint Padlock Opened With a Screwdriver" and saw that it had a USB charging port, I assumed that he would just jam a flatblade screwdriver in there and quick-pry the body apart. Little could I believe that the manufacturer would actually place screws on the outside of the lock body-- that would be like decorating your house door with magnetically attached keys.
even though this was easily defeated I do appreciate when company's send him locks so they can improve on it and makes me want to buy their stuff more for appreciating their transparency
Me looking at the thumbnail: Oooh a lock without a keyhole! What's he going to do? Smash it? Jam the screwdriver into the charging port? LPL: **Unscrews the case off** Me: 👁👄👁
@@johnnyfrankenstein0123 yeah a toddler could have honestly told them that for free. But despite that the thing was so flimsy one single hammer to it would completely shatter it to pieces. So if they fix the screw issue they would probably still have the shit quality issue.
Bought one of these for my husbands grandfather. He was too unsteady to use a key or a combination but wanted to keep his shed locked. All it did was keep the honest honest but he was happy so why not.
@@poofsplix2003 I know, I was being sarcastic :-) Seeing how bad this lock already is, popping open when out of battery would be within the realm of expectations :-D
You don't understand the world I think. This IS advetirtisement and while Master Lock probably doesn't like LPL "advertisng" them, this lock is unique and the company needs to show they even exist. Sending it to a youtuber with 90k followers is a big reach!
Employee with good idea: “we can send our product in to this guy and get some free publicity” Product gets absolutely destroyed humiliated Former employee:
@@tashkiira7838 I mean, if you didn't realise 3 easily accessible screws allowing full access to the innards was a security flaw, I'm not sure the security game is for you.
@@aimanjaafar5578 The joke here is that the lawyers comment about the lock was so savage that he "murdered" the lock company. And I agree, he was honest and humble with his delivery of the comment. Making it much more effective and impactful.
You gotta appreciate the company sending it in. How else will companies improve their security without someone showing you how to break it? That's why other companies hire pen testers so they can see the flaws in their servers.
Yeah but did they really need this guy to show it? The thing has fking screws right out on the outside of it and could easily be taken apart. If you need someone to tell you that obvious flaws...you shouldn't be making any security devices....PERIOD. People like that should head back to school to get their GED or something...

Not really, granted this lock IS crap, i have one that works just fine for what i bought it for.(to lock up my stuff at the gym and not need to carry my keys with me) which works very well. One time it died and locked me out (yes it sucked) but the gym had a portable power bank for that specific reason due to a lot of us going keyless for the same reasons. So if used for small things its great...but for serious security i hope common sense would tell people this is a bad idea....
Wow, when the title said screwdriver I assumed weak assembly or just jimming the weak parts. Blown away at screw access from the outside. But then that’s why they asked for a review I guess. Hope they weren’t looking for much positivity 🤣
Not a bad luggage lock. You can just drill the torqx round and make it tamper proof, so that you have to destroy the lock in order to open it. You have good info. Thank you.
i usually put my bike close to expensive looking bikes that have weaker locks than mine. i rather have a cheap reliable bike and a good reliable lock for the city than a new looking bike with a crappy lock
One time a guy was trying to steal from my backpack on the bus. Well, he got facefirst into my dirty gym socks (that I wouldn't mind him stealing, really) and a pocket full of sharp pins I had forgotten the use of which then served as a decent theft deterrent. I guess used-looking needles would suffice, too.
LoL funny you should say that because I did just that. Friends and I went skiing and others and I left ours coolers out in the open the whole time we were skiing. I had put on a bunch of bio hazard stickers I got from roach labs in NJ. Man if I did that now I bet I would be in jail.
they had to know that actual lock is junk no product that has even basic engineering applied would overlook these glaring flaws. They wanted to see if he could crack the reader or at least demonstrate it and then place it in a proper lock housing.
Fingerprint biometrics are never secure. You leave your fingerprint lying around on literally every object you touch. Indeed, a working copy of your fingerprint "key" is probably already on the fingerprint scanner itself. All that's needed to activate it is a little graphite dust, a piece of transparent plastic/tape, and some body heat.
+P Yeah I don't really care about that when I need a small lock to use at the gym.. This sounds exactly like something I would buy for that. But this one is beyond stupid
It depends how shady your gym is. Your average person won't feel comfortable taking apart a lock while other people watch, though that can be bypassed by social engineering ("yeah my lock is broken so I just screw and unscrew it every time, funny right?"). I generally just leave all my stuff in a cubby hole with no lock anyway :P
+Anonymous Anonymous I would like to see that in action before I believe it. This thing? Yeah, probably. Actual proper fingerprinters found on expensive safes and phones? I sincerely doubt it
I think it can be very useful for a diary or something that the person willing to open it without permission don't want you to know that it had been open. It can be secure to use it as you don't have to worry of opening it in front of the person like with a code. Of course only if the person isn't a locksmith of following this channel.
But you need the fingerprint of the original owner to reset it, so it's not of much use stolen. That is if there's no other easy possibility to reset it.
“You’ll never make money legally by learning how to pick locks” “You’ll never make any money legally by learning how to hack” Proof that we need these skills to better our defenses against the bad people with these skills
Darius Clark the point of the comment was to point out that people view these skills as bad, when really they can be used to strengthen our security against those will ill intent
Making the case and shackle of material you can easily break with a hammer, or probably with the heel of your tennis shoe, is right up there in the running.
it is actually very easy to explain - it must be cheap, there - explained, no effort was exerted into making it safe, all of it was in reducing the cost, by the looks of it, it would cost probably less than 5$ to make, rest is profit for manufacturer and amazon, 50$ shelf price... the ones buying these things deserve to be ripped off
At least they used a mildly rare screw drive. Not everyone has a pile of Torx screwdrivers lying around.. Then again, I own a couple of security screwdriver bit sets myself.
I wonder if the guts can be harvested and used for other non security related tasks since it appears to have some sort of actuator, I'd love to build something cool just to have a fingerprint activated feature of some type
it looks nice. and you could do someting with it for sure. But there is the FPM10A, for about 10 $. That will also deal with all fingerprinting for you.
You don't even need to bother with this lock, those are straight up lifted ( i am within 70% certain) off an Arduino platform going by the behavior of the "UI". This whole lock probably costs about 7 to 9 dollars to make in China, Shenzhen.
+aserta i don't think I can make an arduino set up as small as the lock besides why change what already works plus I'm sure I can find it or something close somewhere dirt cheap from China
+Bear the Great Naaa she's still pissed about that time I told her I locked the bathroom door and hung a Bogota and tension wrench from the knob and recorded her trying to open it, it was pretty funny until she stuck the bogota in my shoulder, good times best part the door wasn't even locked!
A little red locktight applied to the screws an it would require enough heat to separate the bond that would destroy the electronics . That would make it a fair tamper seal , just a thought
