well I would hope the primus locks arent that cheaply made, my company relies on them

Very clever. I always wondered whether there was a way to do it manually.

I have tried turning the tension wrench really fast in the opposite direction without the bounce, but it didnt work.

Where did that lock say anything about primus? Primus is much more secure than some amature raking them.

The knob showed in that video appeared to be a schlage F series knob. A primus cylinder will not even retrofit into that....

very clever indeed, I don't think I'd do that with my SO tension wrenches though as it looks like there was an awful lot of bending on that poor wrench.

I'm surprised it provides that much speed to pass the sheer line. But if it works, it works.

Nice trick in hand, but methinks the door jamb will interfere (at least half the time) in the real world.....

Firstly the start of the video tells you it was a schlage although he states its a shlage i think lol

I have to say that is the worse and roughest raking ive ever seen,

I now understand why picks get broken,

The person picking in that video needs to learn a whole lot more as that demostration was extreemly poor im sorry if it was someone off this site but its obvious youve got a lot to learn before you break a lock, tension wrench or pick,

The speed rakers at the Dutch open are 20 times gentler than that and i though some of them were rough,

Good luck if you reading this as you will need it,

I'm not sure if that would work with the lock on the door ?

I don't call that raking more rapping !!! he could of shaked it like a "maracas" and probably the lock would of eventually opened !!

I was not commenting on his picking skills..for we all have established he's not the best picker... but tjust the little trick at the end.. I thought it was cool.. I never seen or even heared about anyone trying this.. ..
If i only had one tension wrench i wouldnt of tryed it.. but since i have a LOT! of wrenches,,, I tryed it and it worked for me with a kwickset door in knob lock and it worked. I am not sure if it would work while the lock is installed. I will soon try that,, and report back..
but all in,,, even though he's as good as picker as some of you who commented....I got to give his respect for trying and for coming up with something i have yet to see. I like people who's minds wonder.. finding new ways of doing things..

Good luck if you reading this as you will need it

Sorry shrub... not every one is a perfect lockpicker.. some people dont know Everything like you ...oh godly wonderful lockpicker...

Geeze. you sure like to knock people down...

I was not commenting on the dudes skills.. only his plug spinner trick..

whats the deal with the "good luck if your reading this... as you will need it..

dude thats pretty freaking rude.

it was pretty nice but i've seen better but the plug spinning was very nice!

Jimmy, you quote but dont say who from?

Just incase it didnt come across too well to the person who wrote that ill just make it a little clearer,

The kid in that video picking that lock obviously has taught himself with no previous understanding of what a pick does or how to pick a lock,

I could pretty much walk up to anyone i know and hand them a pick and lock and they would have made a better job of it,

If someone taught that kid to pick like that that person should be shot,

If the kid in that video taught himself to do that he needs to now start reading up on how to pick locks,

I dont mean to be rude nor do i intend insult but the picking in that video is just about the worst example i have ever seen and it doesnt take a perfect picker or someone who knows everything (i claim to neither) to see that, i had to make a comment on it just like you had to comment on his abuse, sorry USE of a tension wrench,

I apprechiate that everyone has differant skills and differant levels of skills but with all the info on here it saddens me to see someone abuseing their tools and locks in that way, jiggleiung is a lot less severe than that and you all know what i think to jigglers,

Rude? no, you havent seen rude by a long shot yet, its true youve instagated this post which is along the same lines of the one you didnt like so i guess you wont like this one either but please if the kid in the video is yourself or someone you know please either get someonme to show you what to do or teach the person how to do it, theres enough stuff on here to see how to use any tool in its proper or at least respectable manner,

Ramming a pick in a lock and rattleing it as hard as possable until the lock opens is not picking in any respect and as i say i think i could walk up to a passer by in the street and they would do better,

What im trying to say is that person is worse than someone who has never seen a lockpick,

Awful

I loathe and detest and hate these vids on youtube. I mentioned in another post that these vids of show-offs picking locks that they have picked a million times before in practice just to demonstrate how clever they are, are incredibly dull for a viewer and show nothing about lockpicking and the skills needed. No doubt a few viewers got a sawtooth rake and rammed it around in their house lock (jimmy?) and took great pride in their 'ability' to pick locks (or buggered up their lock).

This sort of vid showing crude techniques are a million miles away from the quality vids out there showing step by step instructions, and clear and precise terminology (Zeke's for example to namedrop just one forum member)

I took off a customers door a Papaiz CR40 padlock yesterday (later disassembled it to see it contained 5 out of 5 spool pins). Single picked it in 3 mins or so. If i posted a vid of me picking it with a hook (without commentary) would that really help anyone understand how to spot and overcome spool pins? I dont think so!

People will post all sorts of rubbish on youtube and it is up to them of course. But let's not post links to this rubbish and go all 'oooh and ahhh', 'how amazing' etc etc.

And the trick at the end is plain stupid, though it did work I have to admit!

regards

i agree, incredibly crude vid that does nothing in effect of showing skill. he might as well have stuck a fork in there and maybe got the same result, nasty vid and after a couple of those bends that wrench will look like a twizzler.
