Sad but true fact..locks are te same way.. but we can manipulate them :lol:


And locks are less demanding, and less maintenance too!

A lock will never ask you how many other locks you've picked!
A lock will never care if you get bored picking it!
A lock does not care how much you drink or smoke!
And best of all, a lock is disposable! :twisted:

I Really nned to grip life and hold on tight, I noticed that being off of work for a sholder injury, with no workers comp. I really should shut my mouth with critisimn. It's get bad when your bagering annoys yourself..

I have several versions of the Locksmith CD so I feel comfortable making a comment.

The free demo video clips are worse technical quality than some of the material on the paid CD. That said, the man's technique is very rough and he does not teach lockpicking very well.

Any one who learns to pick locks with this CD, learns not so much from watching this CD, but in spite of seeing it.

The included tools are a joke. John Falle or Ron Reed (world professional pickers) might get them to work ....... I pity any newbie learning with them. To be fair they do work, but they require more skill that the average newbie will have. Why make things harder when learning.

Lockpicking for the New Millenium is much better for newbies to learn
from, even with its flaws.

As for the tubular pick, do not expect much. Its nothing like the ones South Ord sell or the pro's use. Once again in the hands of experts, who can overcome the weaknesses, it will work. However this is being sold to beginers who will probably feel ripped off.

The info is out there on the net, showing how to make tubular picks that at least give you some hope of working.

You can see for yourself at http://www.idealcreations.net/ls03.htm that the tubular pick is a bad joke. Once again, like using paperclips and the joke of a pick set they supply.... the tubular pick will work IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF SKILL AND PRACTICE.

This is an easy product for kids and beginers to get hold of. It was one of the first video cd's that demonstrated lockpicking, available to the general public. Seeing it done in a video can help some people. Be prepared to refine any technique that this guy teaches you.

Unfortunately this guy seems to know more about marketing than teaching lockpicking.

Oh yeah .....http://www.irvineunderground.org/blackw ... -v2.1.html has a review of an older version that shows the quality of this guys picks.

Yeah, agreed. I tend to use google's site-restricted search rather than LP101's. Works great.

Porn stars is not enticing at all, may be fun to watch but that's about it, lets just say the tolerances are about the same as a kwikset lock, verry loose and too easy too pick ;)

Not sure what I can offer db, sounds like he already has everything :shock:

Ahh yes Mr. Josh is indeed a man of many things.

AHh so that how oyu spell her name, i thought it was speeled wrong.


I actually thought about something. My moms freind could convince me to buy a kwickset... but if i didn't have a G/F of many years, who would probobly chop me up into littles pieces if i did.

How cool would it have been to Bring a Porn Star to my first prom.. dude thats like a movie fantasy kidna deal aint? Ha omg, if only i would have known back in the day.

I will go search for an autograph she gave to my moms freind for me.. Mom wasn't to happy at the time.

Speaking of Porn Stars, Me and shrub had a good debate and talk on Jenna Jameson a while ago.. never knew what happened to that thread. Might actually have been locked but i am not sure.
