      missing a comb over lift?
      3:50 could be designed to have the e clip remover out of left over and tubular tension wrench
      4:30 use a bank card or drivers lic to help crease

      It has potential, Ash. With some slight rearranging of layout, including moving the Sparrows logo, it could hold 6 padlock shims. That long strip which wasn't even mentioned makes a useful probe or handcuff shim. And if the whole card could be made a little thinner, all of the tools would be easier to use. Thanks for the review. 🙂👍

    I’m wondering if somehow that large center section could be reshaped, maybe with some additional breakaway pieces, to function as a door latch slip/hook.

    This is a great idea. If you were worried about the thickness of the straight shims and didn't mind putting in the effort they could be sanded while still attached to the card. If you were careful enough you could even use a dremel style tool. Just take it slow and be patient.

    Very nice!
    Here's a tip from another hobby: Use the cap end of a Sharpie Felt tip, or some such, over a folded towel to put a rounded crease down the center of the shim. That blunt, rounded , slick plastic is perfect for forming thin metal. ( I used to make silver conchos for saddles)

    I think the card concept is cool but takes too long.. I started with coke cans then bought some. They are amazing! Now pay attention Sir Lock Nube.... how many times are people handcuffed in front? Just saying I have yet to see a video with someone with hands cuffed behind them uncuff themselves. Challenge accepted? 🤔😆😎 I will be looking for a Valentine's Day lovers cuffs video tomorrow ROFL 🤣

    If I had to use a word to describe the residue left on the pieces after they're pulled off I'd used either "sprues" or "flashing." Neither are *technically* correct but they're pretty close. I wonder what the *technical correct* word is... Hrm....

    it appears you are involved with sparrows which actually have .15 locks! consider making a plastic "IC" lock. they do have cutaways but they are exactly "real" locks and i need a practice one thats very large like most of the toy plastic ones are for pad locks.
