I’ve been sitting by my front door all day today waiting for mine to arrive 😭 What a pick!!! Honestly not been this excited about a new tool since I lost weight and found my Willy again 😊
Bought mine directly from Jason on Friday last week... just arrived this morning, have a couple of padlocks that need bumming open... gonna have a go at them tomorrow...😂
@FortressLocksmiths 😁 I couldn't resist once I saw it its such a great idea and concept it would make coming across one of these in the wild alot less daunting 😆
Could never understand why Ingersoll didn't include shallow false gates either side of the true gate, in their levers. Perhaps they thought picking was not practical in real life ...
Good question Brian , I think you’re correct , in real life picking was never going to be practical with most taking a minimum of 20 minutes to open and that’s on the bench
@@FortressLocksmiths Seth, one of the reasons I mentioned the false gates, I'm an 80 year old retired Locksmith from Downunder. In the late 60's a Company imported the Ingersoll range into Australia and approached Locksmiths to see what they thought. I was given a cylinder and keys to see how they worked, and an Ingersoll padlock to "give it a go" without keys. I made and bent a heavy length of music wire, and using a hook I managed to pick the lock after spending 2 days on and off. It turned out the padlock was master keyed, so that made it certainly "easier" if you can say that. I thought at the time that false gates on the levers would have made it almost impossible. With false gates in an Abloy, the discs stay where you place them. With the Ingersoll and alternating spring loaded 10 levers, picking out of false gates, I think would be tricky to say the least ...!
@@brianhignett8954 wow brilliant! You must be a wealth of knowledge 🤝 and yeah I think if they put false gates in I wouldn’t say impossible …..but almost 🤣
