Why is massdrop selling so many lock picks and pry bars etc... Is this a community for robbers??? Certainly those can be used in case one locks oneself out, but what are the chances that they will carry their tool with them???
"...buyer certifies that he/she/it is one or more of the following: a bona fide locksmith; lock distributor; bona fide repossessor; motor vehicle dealer; lock manufacturer; or a motor vehicle manufacturer, law enforcement officer; a bona fide fire fighter; a bona fide purchaser for one of the aforementioned; and/or a customer who will have this purchase shipped outside the United States, its possession, or territories."
Can't imagine that is many people on Massdrop. *shrugs*
Mine arrived the other day. Took me a couple of goes to get the feel for it, but I’ve now managed to pick the locks on both of my arcade cabinets! Both had been locked with the doors actually removed and the keys lost in a house move. It meant I couldn’t put the doors back on... Anyway, both have 6 pin tubular locks. Quite an easy job with the 7 pin pick. I have no experience with other tubular lock picks, but for what it’s worth, these seem like a quality product which got the job done easily.
NigzThis is a great review because people always ask what you would need these for other than criminal activity, and you've provided an example most people would never think of.
Nigz^ This. I'm so sick of seeing "Oh goodie, another Thugdrop." comments every time picks show up in EDC and Hobby communities...
When I got my NEO-GEO cabinet several years ago, the coin door lock had been removed, but the marquee bezel's hadn't... (On a NEO-GEO cab you swap 'mini marquees' to show what games are slotted in the machine, so frequent access to the area behind the marquee is part of normal operation.) So the only way I could open it was to take all the screws out of the bezel... And of course, being a vintage 1991 cabinet made with materials from the lowest bidder, the particle board around the screws disintegrated. :(
There's plenty of perfectly legitimate reasons to own lock picks, even if you "refuse to believe that locksport is a thing."
No judgement. I'm just curious. What's with all the lockpicking stuff always on here, and what's that got to do with everyday carry? Make your keys part of your everyday carry list ... problem solved.
FATshadowI've been lock picking for about a year and mostly for me its the challenge. I carry around a small set with me on the off chance there may be a need for them but most of the time I just enjoy pushing the limits of what locks I can crack. If you have a few bucks I'd highly suggest trying it out :)
These are awesome. Here's a review/how-to on them:
Mentioned in here:
- Easier to pick than standard locks. (Standard pins, not spool pins).
- Can use the pin sizing tool to measure the depth of each pin and re-key a lock.
- Can "lock" the tool after sizing for multiple entries.
bed428From the video, it looks like these (at least with the method used there) are only useful for locks vulnerable to self-impression attacks, right? You can usually do those with a bic pen or something like that. Aside from re-keying, is there any benefit to these? Does anyone know of a different way in which these could be used?
ElectroMiteNo shame in asking man, I even had to look up how this set worked. Middle knob adjusts tension of pins and pins will adjust to tubular lock pin heights. Here's a video that I think uses this exact set, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulzZ9T2oGPE
