A truly huge custodial lock picked and briefly discussed. I've got another two of these and will do some more in depth tutorials on the master ring later. If anyone has key blanks for these...I'm buying.

This is a truly excellent addition to the Sparrows Progressive Lock kit, and its well worth the money. Buy pinning tweezers and shims while youre at it, theyre cheap and they make all the difference.

Part two of our look at the Millenco Magnum. Not a great lock to have on your door but an absolutely excellent training lock for beginners to learn picking sidebars and dimples.

We review the Assa Abloy Lockwood 356S63. Short version: Its a damned good padlock and easily adequate for most outdoor commercial applications in New Zealand and Australia. Buy it from a locksmith, not a hardware place - your locksmith can modify this lock further to increase the security or otherwise better fit your requirements.")

The Assa 700 series is a conventional seven pin lock designed in 1948. It punches waaaaaay above its weight and rates a Reddit Black Belt - and I can see why. Three different security pin types (tapered, gins, and Christmas tree spools) plus incredible manufacturing tolerances make this deceptively simple lock a massive challenge to open.
I LOVE this lock, its everything that good design should be.")

This a monster half hour video, and I really hesitated to publish it because these tools are well made, and honestly you might get lucky with this set and fluke an open on a lock with easy bitting...so the set is not entirely hopeless.
But youll never get good consistent results with these picks, and there are so many other - better - options out there that I decided to tell it like I see it, warts and all.
Theres also something else I need to mention: Im well aware that there are a few glowing reviews of these tools on YouTube.
Without naming names, its clear that most of these reviews either soft-pedal these picks by glossing over their flaws...or they are being reviewed by guys who have just got the picks fresh out of the packet and are enthusiastic...but dont have a clear understanding of MTL pin in pin locks, their tolerances, and the techniques needed to beat them.
Im not funded by advertising dollars, and Ive opened a LOT of MTLs. Hope you like the video, and I look forward to your comments.
