@@chriscapune7873 Thanks, Chris. How's your back doing? I don't think the word's getting out. Imagine having the ability to lock your pick into place and pick in what ever orientation you want.

back is ok for now. Thank you for asking.

@@vladinica6003 Made in China for the Russian market.

@laurenarndt464 I have a padlock made in USSR in case you are interested..😄

@vladinica6003 Most of these locks are rusted badly. I have a few myself, but I don't really collect them anymore. On rare occasions, you might find a bronze lock.

@@jeffandthings77 It took me a while to find one that fits perfectly. It's all handmade.

@@laurenarndt464 Thought it looked handmade-just wasn't sure if YOU had made it!

​@@jeffandthings77No, I bought it. I got one in black too.

@@JohnSmith-tm5sh In China. But you don't need their tool. You can make a DD tool yourself.

@@nomercy7161 Thank you. One of these days I am going to to take the roof of this lock and find these ghost pins that don't correspond to the key cuts. 😆

Unfortunately, my budget won't support Ebay. I wish I had more antique padlocks to restore.

More stuff coming your way. I'm just waiting for the parts to arrive.

@laurenarndt464 👍👍❤❤

Glad you like it!

@laurenarndt464 yes.i like your tool and your work.especially the tool for dimples locks...

@@laurenarndt464 I have several pieces of locks.. if you are interested in Russian and Southeast European locks

Pozdrav i tebi, Ako imaš bilo kakvih piitaja, slobodno mi se obrati.

The Street Letter Locks can be decoded by inserting a shim between the lock body and shackle heel. Many collectors have pictures of all the the key cuts for various numbered locks. I never tried picking the street letter locks. I should try it sometime. It's possible with the right pick, I'm sure.

@laurenarndt464 yes, found a picture of the required key and made a temporary one from an old gift card. In the process of making a metal one now, it won't be as nice as the one in this video unfortunately. Was under the impression that the Street Letter lock needed really high tension?

For some reason your post isn't posting on my channel. Strange! Anyway, I would never tension one of these locks. Less with finesse is best. These locks should share the same characteristics as the Smith & Egge locks. If true, then you should be able to insert a thin piano wire between the lever tumblers with a small 90 degree tip and rotate it into a found gate. Once rotated 90 degrees, pull back on the wire to catch one side of the gate cut. Next, lay a feeler gauge over the slot of the keyway with wire protruding out. Finally, measure the length of the wire from its end to the edge of the feeler gauge. Repeat this process for the other tumblers taking measurements with a dial caliper depth gauge. Use math to calculate the depth cuts relative to each other. This technique works for Smith & Egge and many other push key padlocks.

@@laurenarndt464 yes, UA-cam censors my comments, it's a total pain. Thanks, I watched your video on decoding them. As I say I have made a working key from plastic and an currently transfering the pattern to metal. Was just interesting in Picking it as that is my main interest in locks but if it's not something best done I will leave alone. Hopefully I will post a video of it when made. 👍

Also, these locks have depth cuts at 0, 0.060", 0.120," 0.180". I believe 0.180" is the deepest you'll ever find.

@@CHEpachilo I am not sure what your asking me, but I own three different 'Expert' padlocks. This tool opens all three locks using either a slow jiggle movement or rapid jiggle movement. You can see my other videos and shorts. The manufacturer was obviously not anticipating this sort of attack. I still have no idea where my nine key pins are in this lock that the manufacturer claims to have. As you can see it doesn't matter.

@@laurenarndt464 I mean it looks like this padlock has a spring tension on the bolt. So if you smack it hard enough it should open itself. Other lockpicker in youtube, McNally, usually does it with another same padlock. It already became a meme like: "this is masterlock 607. It can be opened with another masterlock 607. *Smack* *both locks are open*"

@CHEpachilo Yes, I've Mcnally's videos. This lock has a ball bearing and can't be displaced unless the core is turned.

@@laurenarndt464 Oh, ok. Thats a little unexpected from Зубр

@CHEpachilo It's just like an American padlock spring loaded cam and ball action. What I find disturbing are these ghost pins. I see these extra cuts on the key, but no corresponding pins in the lock. That's unexpected.

@@peterzenner2020 Nicely said. Thanks for chiming in.

Muchas gracias.

Nick, some channels are using "fun" to make money at the same time. Naturally, we all do it for fun, but some want to market us like sheep and pretend it's all about supporting locksport community. I don't make my tools to sell them, and yet I share my ideas with whoever. But, this guy from the UK, with absolutely no content on his channel trolled me. My video wasn't intended to upset anyone, just to show how you don't always need expensive tools.

@@Nicks-Picks Thanks for be a faithful supporter. You're the best.

@@PocketWomen I'll find out today. I need see how difficult it will be for me to turn half a millimeter off of the 14 mm × 2 mm aluminum pipe. I need to visit the post office, first.

@@jeffandthings77 Thanks, Jeff. I think just picking locks and doing videos about them can become rather predictable.

@@Nicks-Picks Considering the cost for the entire set of drivers (about $15), I can't complain. I was hoping for 14 mm on the internal diameter for my 14 mm × 2 mm aluminum tubing, which I haven't received yet. The internal diameter on the driver handles measures 13.70 mm. So, I'll need to remove 0.35 mm for good performance between surfaces.

@@SouthpawPickingPete-qi8qr I hope Peterson won't mind me modifying his tools. I still need to polish the pick edges. They are quite choppy compared to his other picks.

@@laurenarndt464 I’m sure Peterson is fine with you making picks your way with the blanks they sell, if anything you show how versatile they really are! Have a great weekend my Friend.

@@SouthpawPickingPete-qi8qr You too.

@@michaelsulwer779 Well, I'm glad you took the time to look. Thank you.

Thanks, Nick. The same concept of the rubber band could be used on front disc tensioning tools as well, especially when picking in a near vertical orientation.

@@TuMayPicking Thank you. Remember, this tool is just one of two that I purchased from Aliexpress sold as a pair for about $70. I simply made them better. I really like the universal tip. There's no guessing about the tip length when rear tensioning. Someone will rip me off on my idea. I'm just waiting for the theft to happen.
