BB is good at picking locks but I have come to the clear conclusion that LPL is better at picking locks. This comes from watching LPL picking locks that BB cant pick. An exsample of this is when they both faced the Avocet ABS cylinder, LPL picked the lock using a magnet to defeat the magnetic element of the lock while BB had to turn the cylinder over in order to pick it. I think they have both done great things in the lock picking community but in my experience if you have a question you are 99% more likely to get a reply from LPL then BB. I know BB has 300,000 more subs then LPL and would never get to each question. But this is getting off topic, LPL in my opinion is better at picking (not saying BB is bad). Also like many, BB got me into locksport...

I believe you mean Bosnian Bill, Bosnian Bobs twin Brother.

LockPickingLawyer is in another galaxy compared to BosnianBill. No one from the locksport community has impressed me as much or as often as LPL.

You don't wear that hat or carry that title anymore; you're not in the running for such a prestigious award.

I really like looking at all the cool stuff you get in! As a hobbyist, I find it fun to work with locks. I like the WB padlocks too - there are more secure locks locks than these, but I like the way they look and open. I would be concerned that with locksmith access to new locks, your bench would fill up with interesting locks in no time at all!
