I enjoy learning from locksmithing videos. But every once in awhile, I see a series which makes me think...Wow, these guy have No-Idea-What-They're-Doing.
This one was scary...

Cheese and rice what in tarnation is he doing with the hammer????!!!

He must have beat that poor defenseless knob a thousands times!

TURN THE KEY then press the retainer....

He could have broken the knob down from behind and pulled the knob in the time he is sitting there jaw jacking and beating the knob to death.

That explains two knobs I've seen before that had dents on the inner circumference.

I especially like him punching that screwdriver all the way into the hole where the retainer is located so that it is completely blocking the knob from being able to slide off, then knocking the knob some more. :roll:

How do you hit something you shouldn't with a hammer that many times and not hit yourself? Which at this point he may as well hit himself, it might make that knob come off. :lol:

I watched some of CRAZYLOCKSMITH's other videos. Yikes.

His videographer makes great comments during some car opening videos: "I'll zoom in on the damage you're doing... customer's hate that."
Locksmith: "Customer ain't here."

I had to watch a couple of his as well, I like that Giant Vault with a Several Ton Door he Opened in 5 minutes.
Probably learned The Old School Method the Old Locksmith taught him, his Videos should be in the Comedy Section. I Imagine he gets a lot of Views
