(1471) Review: Mini-Electric Pick (UT-PL-1)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- In video 1471 I review the new Mini-Electric Pick, model UT-PL-1 from LockPicks.com. This is one of the most compact and powerful electric lock picks that I have had a chance to play with, delivering outstanding performance. The build quality is excellent as well and it is on sale, marked down from $199 to $169.

Throw that UltraFire Battery away before it burns your house down
And that POS charger. 3800mAh 18650s don't even exist.
Other than Surefire, any battery that has FIRE in it's name is a hazard waiting to happen.
That 3800 mAh rated battery is no more than 2000 mAh in the real world. In some cases, you've got a small cell inside the casing and the rest is filled with grain chaff.
I go the impression that Ultrafire was decent enough but there are just so many fakes you can never tell
It doesn't have enough power to burn something.
Might be able to swap the pick gun end for end, shave the foam so the tip can fit into the space next to the handle. Good video as always sir.
Spend a little extra and get the Multipick Kronos. I’ve been using it for a few months and is worth the extra money
You saved my morning I’m in New Zealand and could not find anything to watch but there you are well done and thank you sir
Just the tip. That's all I'm putting in. Sorry my mind is in the gutter. Great technique.
Nothin bad ever happened from just the tip... Right... ;~{
And only for a minute...
I'll just leave this here, AV
$169.00 for a chinese multipick mhp 2 clone is way too much!! i wouldn't have spent more than 50 bucks for it. well, this time you really fell into it, to let brockhage pinch your wallet :-)
Absolutely! Especially with the Kronos at about the same price XD
Depends we’re you shop we can find it at $90 ish dollars
Still doesn’t make it any better tho
Thank you for taking the time to review this product! It was exactly the video I was searching for! Great details and great info! Keep up the great work!
I recognize the charger. They work but the bean counters got you there too!
YES!!!! Start-of-weekend-clip...Nice!
I'm interested in buying one of these electric lock picks, but I'm having problems finding a video that properly demonstrates their effectiveness over a larger variety of less to more secure cores.
From the m1 keyway, through the m27, and the m25, into Kwikset, titans, schlage 5 pin, and 6 pin. into the American AM1/AM2 blanks in variety of different bittings.
I'm also interested in a combination picking techniques with these, say a C123 keyway, using the electric pick to pick the top pins, hitting the bottom detent, and going back up to the top pins.
Love your Videos and production quality. keep up the good work
$169 is insane for that! The Ultrafire battery and crap charger that it ships with is clue #1. I'd love to see a teardown of it. The internal mechanical construction is undoubtedly low-quality disposable electric-toothbrush tech. I just suspect that if you are a professional and use this often, there's a good chance it will wear out or break within 6 months. I won't be surprised to see similar gadgets selling for much less. It there were as much demand for them as for, say, flashlights, they'd be under $20 from China on Banggood.
(Thanks for the review and demo, as always though!)
Basically most electric lockpicking guns do the same thing. Sooo a much cheaper one that has the basic principles would also do the job . . ....$169 Whoa 😲😳😵
I'd never get it away from the ol lady....'dear, it's not for you, it's for locks! 😰'
Hahahaha! 😅😂
Thanks for the review Bill
This is my complaint in general for pick guns, or electric picks. They don't accommodate storage WITH the tips attached. WHY?! It could have been so easy... Some are easier than others to put in. Sign me up for an electro pick! I'd like to have a chuckle with one some day. 😅
🚫 Never trust any lithium ion rechargeable battery with the word "fire" on it.
Buy from very reputable sources, make sure they're real, and the mAh matches the battery. In about 6 years of buying these, I've only had ONE fake that made it though. The vendor I bought it from became aware of some really good fakes, coming from just one box they had in. They replaced it no questions asked.
Always... ALWAYS store your lithium ion batteries in a battery box. Any nicks in the wrap will cause hellfire.
📋 -That's always been my rules, never failed me yet. I think I own more and more devices with flat top 18650 & 26650 batteries now. Rather than always eating up AA, or C, or D batteries.
Thanks for the review. Stay awesome! 👍
My klom pick gun can fit in it's case with the needle on.
So compared to the Kronos from Multipick? (For European customers? ) I'm not a professional really and I like to pick for the fun of it and these gadgets sort of forfeits my purpose. Nevertheless, this whole comment is stupidly useless but Multipick has released an "Electric Tensioner" - any comment on that gadget. Really expensive but is it useful? Think not for the Lock Sport community, but does it work?
I've had a few requests to test that electric tensioner but the price they're asking is astronomical. Also, it appears to only work on Euro locks in certain situations (no obstructions from door frames or knobs). If I hit the lottery maybe I'll splurge for one. Until then.... we'll just have to remain in the dark. Sorry.
I don't know about the electric tensioner either, even working as a locksmith it's too much money IMO... and I DID shell out the cash for the Kronos and I'm happy with it.... TYPICALLY, whenever I use any sort of pick gun (snap or electric) I use a ring tensioner with the longest straight needle available for that pick gun... If I'm using a pick gun, I'm either looking for the best chance for a fast unlock, (like when I'm doing an unlock for the police for an eviction or welfare check in) or when I've tried and failed to pick a lock that's not so paracentric to eliminate the use of a pick gun, but that doesn't like to be bumped, and I just want to be done with it so I can move on (such as a newer Sargent LA keyway where the tolerances are still really tight, especially if I suspect a lot of highs and lows)
Multipick makes a ring style tensioner and I have no doubt it's excellent but I got mine from Sparrows for less than half the price and it works just fine, I'm sure there are others that are cheaper than Multipick that work just as well.
@@derekbroestler7687 Good info. Really. I don't do this to earn a living. I just want to separate bad locks from not so bad locks and for the fun of it. Like a Puzzle. If I can open it - it's a bad lock, If I can't open it - don't really know. Probably a bad lock anyway and I don't have the skills or the imagination to attack it.
The girlfriend got hold of my power pick and I haven't seen it since!
check under the bed, it may have a different attachment on the end that viberates . . ..ha ha ha 🤣
J T lol u made my day 😂
In my experience with those Ultrafire Batteries, if you ignore the first digit the remainder is closer to the actual rating. I have those exact batteries I use in torches & they last around half of my 1500mah Samsung (so around the 800mah)
Nice idea on changin angle
Cool demo !
If bean counters going to short change something we want it to be the removable battery not something more important.
Consider: Quickly 86 the Ultrafiar's Non-*UL Battery Charger (Alleged Fire Hazard), just saying. We own eight UltraFire 18650 Batteries and four of those "Handy" portable battery charger and all four from distinct vendors, something kluge about them Craptastically-Creepy, Cheap, Chinese Chargers (*Underwriters Laboratory). Great Review Thanks!
Rechargeable 9 volt to cut down on length and width. A spring collet design to hold pick. Pick carrying pouch on handle.
It would be interesting to see Big Clive's verdict on the battery (don't expect to get it back whole though!)
I learned all I need to know about that crappy battery.... I can't believe they actually included it in the kit as it degrades the perfromance of their product. I'm guessing they didn't even try it out before buying them. It was like: "cheap 18650 battery?...Check!"
I don't need Big Clive either. I recognize that terrible battery. I have a few and I only use Panasonic or JBL when I need good lithium ion batteries.
@@jmr You're missing the point-obviously the battery is crap but I would like to know exactly how exaggerated it's claimed power is.
@@davidworsley7969 I get it. Big Clive does some good testing and I'm a little curious about the actual number myself. I was just commenting on it's craptastitude and the fact it's not that unusual. I have a charger / tester I use for that. It runs the battery through a cycle to determine capacity. I then mark each battery with the mah. Amazingly I've had batteries with those type of claims that actually were just under 500mah.
Please Bill test the genuine Multipick MHP II Plus! 😋
I would LOVE to do a review on it and get a LOT of requests to do so. Unfortunately, I don't have $600 or $700 sitting around to spend on one. I have tried one briefly while visiting family in Germany and they work really well, but I only played with it for a few minutes, which isn't enough time to do a full review. And no, the owner would NOT loan it to me...😀
Bosnianbill I wanna see it in comparison with the chronos! If it's better or more powerful...
Can't imagine that someone wouldn't loan you something! 😊
We need a lock race with you and LPL like 5 locks and who ever finishes first wins.
I just want more content with both of you together
What a cool way to use a electric pick gun to spp
I am going to give a try.
I like the color combo on this black and red. But i think i still would go for the multipick electric pick IMO.
Bill what if you were to change up the foam a bit and store the pick with the tip facing the handle you may be able to fit it besides the handle
Nice review
Love that technique. Thanks.
Thanks for a fair honest review. With the price point & the battery, plus charger & the short case it's a no sale.
Nice review, Bill !!
Good honest review, maybe they'll make a version 2 after seeing your video.👍🏻😎
It do looks like they understand those 9900 mAh batteries are fake, but still went for a very cheap battery+charger combo (with an almost realistic rating) from ebay to add to the pick.
The Iron is Multipick beats this all round I would say. And the Multipick look so much better.
Another great video.. thx bill
Question sir, instead of a flat blade for picking with a EPG, how do you think a "City Rake" type of blade would work? I mean wouldn't it be doing the same thing as by hand only a lot faster with the gun?
great video. thanks bill
The battery is fake. The charger too.
Gadd Helloo As in it’s not a real battery or it’s nice to your face and then talks shit behind your back?
@@TheButchersbLock brilliant! !!!
I purchased the same battery charger from Ebay for $2.00 - cheap chinese junk !!🤓
I just buy older (new old stock) laptop batteries from Asus (the complete pack) and always get the quality batteries inside, that are always quality ones. Always.
Always?
Nice in-depth review
The charger isn't much better than the battery.
Don't charge the battery without supervision.
I would love to use this it would come in handy as a fire fighter all the times ive needed to get into something on the truck or at a scene and instead of cutting the lock this seems easier but I can't afford one.
whats the purpose of the rubber bands on your tension wrenches?
Missing your sage tutorials
It...it looks like a Lightsaber!!!!
@Joe Casson mwhahaha me too!!!!
Leaves me wondering if it has reverse battery protection or is it scrap if I accidentally put the battery in upside down?
Also I noticed the cheap Chinese battery was a button nose ( making it a little longer maybe) had it any problems with Panasonic battery moving about inside, or was it also a button nosed battery.
Them lithium batterys can be nasty lol battery safety is a must.
Good looking tool tho, looks a little weaker than the South Ord mini Jmmurdy showed last night.
Great video
Would I trust a Lithium battery called Ultrafire. maybe not
Bill, can you recommend a padlock to go on my Pelican case when flying with my firearms? It can take a 5/16" shackle. Thanks in advance!
master lock #3 or any cheapo lock and bring a few, the TSA will cut your lock and replace it with zip ties or TSA junk. bring your picks and a knife in a seperate bag so you can open the replacement TSA lock,
@@bird718 Thank you! Good advice. I know all that. I have been using the Abus Titalium 64Ti/40 for years, but I would love something that is harder for them to cut, if possible. I should have been more specific.
@@LogicBob
you want to use Shrouded american locks, abus etc...from any respectable company. the biggest one you can find that fits your pelican case. not sure what size case your using but i do know the smaller ones only accept padlocks of specific dimensions. if you can use two Shrouded american locks they will be cursing you while using the grinder on your locks.
@@LogicBob
btw finding a Shrouded padlock that works might only be possible for the very large pelican cases. the Master Lock 6321 has the 5/16th shackle. but depending on your case size it might be unacceptable. discus might work for you, abus with the plus core. if you dont mind the way they look and stick out.
Have you watched "Packing the friendly skies"? Good talk about flying with firearms.
I would use the term buzz raking.
Never used pick guns, never much liked the idea... Seems like feedback would be nil... But I guess that's the point, very little skill required, just fluctuate between light and moderate tension? Or do you somehow still get decent feedback?
The Multipick Kronos seems to be a much better value for the money.
Good stuff. Thanks for video.
Bill's new toothpick.
Nice review, doesn't appear to be a bad kit... except for the battery, as you stated. I do like that it's a bit more compact than the standard electric pick guns. Just like a lot of picks, usable as it comes, but better with some field modifications. Thanks Bill!
nice
Congratulations, you've discovered what I've called "Gun Raking".
my toothbrush does the same job
Are there any master locks that arent crap?
Free thank you 😉
nice tool
Shove it Any Way You Want It, Another Awesome Video!!!
If they cheaped out on the included battery, they probably cheaped out in other places.
would very much go well for a red teaming kit
Hey, what's that knife about, in the background? 🤔
@Herbert Wingfield ...stay safe. And, stay legal. 😎
Best and cheapest 18650 are available in your local vape shop. Most all vape mods use those batteries and there always in stock and cheap.
I wouldn’t use the battery OR the charger unless I wanted to burn something down
Buy only Sony, LG or Panasonic(eneloop) batteries. Those are the only 18650 manufacturers. You can try Efest but they are hit or miss.
My electric toothbrush pick works just as quick and it was only $19.95
have you tried the electric toothbrush idea?
ULTRAFIRE ... Ultrafire in your house .... Worst battery ever
Where you buy
How i can buy this sir?
Just bought this. Lasted 10 minutes. Got through one standard pin lock no worries, then had a go at security pins - it crapped out and is now broken. Cheap rubbish.
What happens if you put an IMR 18650 in it?
Everyone would like to win this, but as a completely new picker, I would LOVE to win just some picks and a practice lock!
Same issue with the Kronos epg re box length
169 dollars for a 20 pick on Alibaba lol they can keep that I'll go straight to the supplier
Thank you for another great vaJayO
When I press the pick in the lock do I do it right above the mother fucking tensioner or at the very fucking tip of the lock somebody please?
How can I get one of my own Carrie how well send me one and i'll give you the money
Seems cheaply made to me, snap guns seem more efficient and effective. Also I hate how you can’t store it in the case with the needle already attached. As a locksmith I don’t want to keep setting up my tools for each use multiple time a day
Now the criminals will have more desire to use this instead of a drill since they want to use the fastest method to get in.
Hi Bill,
Is this not just a knock off,(fake),multipick MHP 2 ?,you might actually be advertising a copy?,China at its best,the fake battery might be a little tell tale sign.
I don't want you sued for miss representation
Love your videos
Yes, its a copy of the MHP 2, that's one of the reason Multipick came out with the Kronos which is in my opinion superior and made in Germany.
So another drawer needs to be added in my workshop
bonjour. ce mini pick je l'ai eu en main et j'ai eu le même soucis avec la batterie et deux jours après j'ai voulu l'utiliser pour m'entrainer et il n'a plus fonctionné donc je l'ai renvoyé. je l'ai acheté sur aliexpress model chinois. j'ai acheté le pick gun EPS de chez multipick et il est au top et plus puissant..
Hello. I had this mini pick in my hand and I had the same problem with the battery and two days later I wanted to use it for training and it no longer worked so I sent it back. i bought it on aliexpress chinese model. I bought the pick gun EPS from multipick and it is at the top and more powerful.
Ultrafire Battery's filled with sand and some cheap rechargeable coin cells. Probably not even 100mAh
Get an LG battery, or vt5 vt6 sony
Ultrafire 💩 try Efest 👌🏻
Unfortunate font choice on that thumbnail...
lmfao i noticed that too
looks like a Multipick MHP 2 plus clone from China.
I sire as hell wouldn't put FIRE on a battery.
Nightcore or ultrafire are likely going to be your best bet for 18650s
Charger is rubbish too, got nothing inside it but the most rudimentary of parts. Can't regulate and curb the voltage, let alone that it'd stop its charging (process) when your battery is full. It will immediately start reducing the power of your battery and will destroy it in no time. Also its inner workings get so hot it will stop functioning altogether after max a few dozen times (though that might suffice for a lifetime with this tool) and the parts that must go in the wall socket are unsafe, untested and I guess illegal. Don't use it, but replace it at the same time as you start using a better battery, it would make no sense to get that better part only to destroy it with that rambling little ehrm, thing
The Kronos looks better.
Weee
A new bag of pffffff?
It’s rubbish tried & tested & binned @ $120 dollars 💵
Have you done a review on video
