Great stuff Bro, I have to admit that hairpins are important for picking competitions, sometimes only a freshly made turning tool can give you good times 😅 Thanks for sharing, and have a nice pint 🍻
Nice one Dmac mate 👍 Yeah, definitely NOT hair pins - hair grips . Hair pins make great leaver lock tools . Cheers and all the best to you and yours HAPPY CHRISTMAS 🎄 ❤️🕺🏻
I think I was about 13 years old back in the early 80's my first lock picks where make from large hair clips. I've see a video many years later where someone rediscovered my design. I'll have to do a video of my own one day. It's nothing like what you've seen here.
I've used them to open a Sentry "safe" (firebox) and a Corbin-Russwin door lock, as well as a few Master padlocks. Are they the ideal tools for the job? No, of course not. But they can work in a pinch sometimes. A few tips about constructing the tools I can add to what was shown here: 1. If you don't have a cutting tool to nip that blob of plastic off, it can be crushed off with a rock or similar. It can even be scraped off in one or two goes if you have stout thumbnails. 2. You can use the keyway of the lock itself to put the bend in your tension tool if you don't have pliers or another clamping tool. 3. You can actually put a gentle in-line bend in the tip of your pick to give you the rough equivalent of a short hook. To be clear, I'm talking about bending it slightly along the edge, not along the flat as you would for the tensioner. This bend can also be accomplished with the keyway, and I actually find it easier than using pliers.
Saw this video after watching young Dexter Morgan pick a file cabinet wafer lock with bobby pins in the premier of Dexter: Original Sin last night. Funny coincidence
And that's what I call an excellent video, very well demonstrated Dmac. You didn't just open one lock but 5, all in under 7 minutes.
NICE!!!!!
@@roysammons2445 thanks Roy 🍻😎
Uuuh, lock pick makers will hate you for this simple trick 😂🤣🤣 Cool demonstration and nice insight especially on the zipping technique 💪💪
When I saw the bitting in that 140 I thought surely not?Very impressive and great demos as usual!Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
@@Dotslocks14 cheers Dots 😎👍🏻
Ever find those ends you cut off? Or are they still in orbit? 😂 Thanks for sharing a fantastic, highly detailed tutorial.
@@paracentric6188 😆👍🏻 thanks para.
Very impressive demo, you made short work of that lot. Now that I have a lifetime supply of hair pins I might as well give this a go. Cheers 🍻
@@gprider1525 gotta be done, cheers! 😎👍🏻

Wow, that was very impressive.
