[pemlock]

In case you've missed it. The famous(?) disc detainer pick that LockPickingLawyer and Bosnianbill constructed is finally available from Sparrows:

... aaaand it's sold out.

At that price, no wonder it sold out. Quite a bargain at only $1,000,000 CAD! Sorry I missed it. Guess I'll try again when they get the blah blah blahs taken care of and it is back in stock.

I think they underestimated the demand, they had only 500 or so in the first batch. Sold out in less than 2 hours... the price was 45 USD/55 CAD btw.

Which disc detainer locks can this actually pick? is it only good for made in China disc detainers like this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/164155157973 or could this open some older Abloy technology or does the tip shape dictate which keyway profiles it can be inserted into?

I'm a little behind on watching all of LockPickingLawyer's many videos, the same goes for BosnianBill's channel, so if they made a video covering my question, could someone please link to it here?

Thanks,

It will pick most modern disc detainer locks with a sort of rectangular keyway. It will not pick the classic Abloy lock with a half-circular keyway, that requires a special tool.

Here's the video where LPL presents the Sparrows release, and picks a Kryptonite bike lock with it: [url]EDIT: updated link in next reply[/url]

LPL also has a playlist for just these types of locks, where the prototype for this tool is featured in many: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpIvUbO_777y8YQVbV1ZEqN4xd_V8GE4a

Seems is messed up the links. (And I can't edit the post?) Here's the actual link to the video:

... and now Bosnianbill has posted a video with more detailed instructions on how to use it:

... and here's Lock Noob's review as well. He goes into some detail on how this differs from the cheap Chinese picks you can get for a much lower price.

I want to make a note.
It's generally understood that using trash will not give good results.
However I've not been able to pick a single lock with a professional $500,- DD tool.
Why? Most likely because it's too well made and not suitable for someone starting out.

As far as thing tool goes. I do not know.
It's not too hard to 3D print a DD. There are a few designs on thingiverse.
Spooxe sells the tips. Silver bullet is also sold now as a 3D printed kit.

I'm not into DD locks yet.

Now that this tool has been out for a while and people have been using it, does anyone have any feedback on how it works?
