  • Nomadic Hacker was one of the winners of my Locksport sticker giveaway and we decided to trade some locks. He sent me his first challenge lock, along with a Best padlock, and a Yale lock on loaner.
    In this video I take a first shot at his challenge lock and it took me about 23 minutes to open, so I sped up many parts of the video to trim down the overall length.
    Also, I'm not sure why I did not read the letter in the beginning...lol
    Check out his channel: / @nomadichacker.

    Been waiting to see this! Glad you enjoyed the challenge. I like handing people a push key lock and watching them try to open it 😉 😜 they are confusing if you aren't used to them. Enjoyed your commentary as you picked it you figured out most of what was in it 😉. I'm half way done challenge number two 😉 it will be *interesting* lol.

      😆 it was fun discovering it was a push style! I still have to upload the video showing the tensioning technique.
      Glad you enjoyed this video. I’m not yet used to filming first attempts and typically forget to explain what I’m feeling. I’m looking forward to #2!

    Great picking and gutting, great challenge lock too !!
    Have a great day, warning, if you can turn that challenge locks core 180 degree's in either direction the pins can fall out the bottom hole, probably used for easy re-keying.

      Thank you. Definitely a great CL and fun to pick at. I’ve definitely made the mistake of turning the core 180 degrees and then needing to pop the pins back.
      Thanks for checking it out.

    That small Yale is a push key lock , push up first then it will turn, otherwise you will break the key.
    Have a great day

      It’s nice being stumped by a new style lock! Once I figured out the trick I was able to start attempting to pick it. Tricky little lock.

    Wow, awesome first CL 👏 Oh boy standards on first CLs are really getting high by now... core modes here and there 🙈
    Great that you got it picked in one session 👍👍
    You pick very fast at times 😜🤣
    Take care,
    Cheers 🍻

      Agreed, awesome first CL. He is making his second one now with evil intentions! I can’t wait to see it.
      I love when the CLs put up a good fight and make me earn the open. Thanks & cheers 🍻
