The BKS Helius and Livius are great locks to pick - unusual and fun. In this video I teach you everything you need to know to understand how they work, and how to beat them. Plus one lucky bastard will take them both home.

This one was about six months in the making, but we get it in the end. Part two will be in a few weeks when I have got a key and some pins, Ill review the padlock, then show you how to re-pin it and reassemble all 50 (yes fifty) parts.")

![[96] Review - The Abus E90: a lock so bad its good](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ldsQ0gbbDJ8/mqdefault.jpg "[96] Review - The Abus E90: a lock so bad its good
I have no hesitation in saying that this is the worst high security lock I have ever seen. My guess is that Abus really cant believe they allowed this thing to come to market, and are trying to bury it as fast as possible.
With massive thanks to Michael in Germany for letting me pick this lock.")

Bit of a deep dive and picking tutorial about the workings of this beautiful lock. Barrel spools, countermilling, and sidebar sliders that need both lifting and rotating. This lock pretty much has it all.")

First ever pick of this fantastic lock - a Chinese Mul T Lock Interactive copy, ten pins with an additional magnetic element. Part two of this video is an in depth review of this lock.
This is not the cheap Chinese junk were accustomed to seeing folks...this is damned good lock aimed squarely at western consumers.")
