In order to keep the padlocks that I know I can pick all in one place I attached them to an American Lock with a long shackle. However, I now have a place to put them so I figured I should pick them on camera before removing them so I can put them away. Having all the padlocks locked together definitely makes them harder to pick and gives more real world experience than if I were to just hold one in my hand or put it in a vise.
In this video I picked open a brass Master Lock using a homemade short hook with a pointy top and a homemade .047" bottom of the keyway tension wrench.
