That video is suspicious because the person who made the video and the tool refused to share any details, so who knows it if it real or fake, that guy was very interesting to talk to, but did not want to share much information.

Please don't make a new Post for each fake or real video question you have, the forum is getting cluttered with random posts..

Thanks

I could be wrong here, but the auto picks that he makes I thought were soon to be available from Lock decoders in the UK?

well you cant really see the thing so i'm gonna go with fake. also this isnt picking as he didnt actually do anything but stick some mystery object into the lock.

Here it does say that the video is only the final stage of the picking.

http://keydecoder.alle.bg/pick-tools-de ... oy-protec/

Years ago didn't the same person explain to one of the members here privately about how the tool works and the member said that it was possible?

I know that if I made a tool to pick something like Protec I wouldn't be showing everyone how to do it.

Not a fake. The tool works, albeit very fragile and very very easy to break.

Since the guy who made it was super secretive, can you at least tell us the basic operation? does it decode? does it bypass? does it pick in real time? is this the one with the laser (similiar to the kind used in safe manipulation) that notices small differences in true gate location on the discs? how does it bypass DBS?

PM me if it's too sensitive for public view, or post the answer in Advanced locks.

very curious,

It's a key duplicate that clearly only works while sprinkled with fairy-dust.

and therefore It's not a fake.
