Anybody here understand what language this is and what the person in the video is saying? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6_mhZx9YdI He's showing off a tool that I'm thinking of getting but I want to know if he's giving it a good review or a bad one.

The person in the vid is speaking italian. I have no idea what is being said tho'. There must be some italian members that can translate.

Just as an afterthought, what about speech recognition software like Dragon Naturally Speaking? Maybe feeding the audio into that might produce enough text to translate into english.

I never knew there was a software like that for us civilians.  I'll probably give it a try but obviously not now. I can't justify spending $50 to about $80 for the program to find out reviews on a tool that I can get for a measly $10. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'm sure I'll use it for something in the future.

Yep, Babelfish sucks as much as it did a decade ago.
The description says (roughly, with help from Google) "Review of Kaba dimple lockpicks. A series of picks and tensors for dimple locks and also for the famous Kaba. (Lockpicking is a sport! Above all, remember that it is and must remain a hobby, and nothing more! I will not be responsible for any abuse resulting from the misuse of anything learned in the video, which is not an endorsement of illegality."
The text at the beginning of the video says the same thing about locksport being a hobby. As for what he's saying...between the poor audio, the music and his mumbling, he could be speaking Russian for all I know. Also I don't speak Italian.

He's just saying he bought the picks. He has never used them as far as I understand from the video. The important part is that they sell the picks for raking, and the wrench has the right width to help keeping the rake in track over the pins, preventing it to fall on the side of the keyhole. So it's not a review, he's just saying "I bought these picks". Cheers

Thanks guys, I appreciate all your help. I think I'll go over the DX and get myself a set of these.

Sorry double post, but anybody have a clue as to how one would use this tool on a dimple lock for those who may have tried this thing? I'm assuming by the design of the pick that you would have to insert the pick all the way to the back of the lock, apply light tension and pull the pick out to "rake" the pins into place, then repeat steps again as necessary. That sound right?

It has been brought to my attention that some users do not like the fact that my username has the word "Crook" in it. It is a 10 year old gamertag and I am working on changing it. I hope that it has not caused any confusion // misinterpretation.
