I have learned more about picking locks, (something I knew nothing about 1 year ago), for free watching this channel than I ever expected. The only downfall joining the lock picking sport/hobby for me are all the cool tools I want to buy, this one is top of the list and one day will be riding in my truck with me. Have fun all and happy 4th of July to all.
Dale B check out some of these Chinese websites for inexpensive, but cheap items to start for a beginner.

Yeah. You`ll see when you get started, that "all" the tools and picks, you dont have. Is the ones you think will make you a better picker... This is a rookie "thing" among locksporters, buying a lot of shit, that you dont really need. (Or maybe its just me, who has a lot of pick-sets, that I dont use or maybe use 1-3 picks from??) They dont make you a better picker, only practice and experience do that. So if you want to make your wallet a favor, dont buy all kinds of pick, sets and other tools. But f.ex make your own (this can be really cheap and a lot of fun) and you`ll be suprised, how easy it is to make locksmith/sport tools, that cost several hundred dollars, for a few bucks.
Wow this thing tore through the security pins like regular pins! Watching for years, always fun to see something like this and then I realize it would take me an hour to do the same lol
Very new to lock picking. Bought a cheapo set of picks on ebay and keep picking the same 5 locks over and over again. Learning a lot from you and The Lockpicking Lawyer. This tool is really impressive. Gonna have to get a Kronos tool.
As long as the keyway is open it can open most any schlage/kwikset I have. But when you grab a Euro lock (Newstar etc) with a constricted keyway you'll have problems.
The gadget lover in me always wanted to try electro picking... But, I can get a lot of manual picks for what they ask for this! - I've checked this out at Multipick, but didn't really realize how much stuff the, Kronos came with! The plug spinner, and circular tensioner, 18650 batteries, yet even more accessories, and replacement items. With the tools to maintain the unit to boot! All in a tidy case. I like the ease of the 18650 batteries, a lot of punch in that package. Love that German engineering. Bill, thanks for the updated review!
I'd like to see this thing used on every whipped lock you get. You could then call it a Hail Mary instead of Whipped. Excellent quality product and I'll be buying one soon. Thanks for the review, Bill
Your generosity is only bested by your skillz, which combined are a close match for your ability to captivate whilst simultaneously conveying knowledge. Thanks for the vid, info, insight and Happy Independence Day 2018!
Hum interesting. Well after you alter it you will need something else to take care of what that was originally meant for. I would be happy to volunteer help you out with that lol
I bought the big orange spinner! I agree that German engineering is second to none but the orange one has that huge spring and it's really hard to break ANY spring! I bought the southord epg when I first started, buddy of mine has the Kronos and I could open better than him "of course I practiced and we all know it makes perfect" but it's not a magic tool! You have to practice with this just like you practice with new picks
Don't let this fool you. I bought the Kronos based on Bill's original review. I used it for a few days and sold it. Honestly, I messed around with it a BUNCH and couldn't get it to open anything but some 4 pin master locks and the occasional 5 pinner with no security pins. I tried it on a whole host of locks that I have no trouble single pin picking, and in some cases, raking. I don't know how Bill gets this thing to work so well, but at the very least, using it seems to take some skill of its own. I did mess around with different amounts of tension as well as adjusting the travel on the pick. I had very, very little success with it.
That you turned me onto the Kronos...Bless you, damn you. (It is expensive but if you enjoy laughing at the lock that had previously frustrated you it is worth it) You also imparted the rhythm used to great effect. I have seen people with EPGs that depress the trigger as though it was all that kept them alive. (or that vibrator of legend) That...on...off...on mamba you do is perfect. Incredibly well made, easy to use with an light learning curve. (I opened stuff within seconds of setting the Kronos up where snap guns took quite a while to learn) Now I am trying to learn nuanced use. The restricted keyways in the UK for instance. (I have a Newstar that is kicking my butt)
Is this a solid review from you? I'd love to know if you used this tool successfully (and it sounds like you're confirming it's much better than snap guns?)
I’ve g the wentt gun and the only problem iv had is with assa cylinders possibly with the heavier springs and being fitted on Propertys where you don’t have the same access around the lock Most euro cylinders probably 6 minutes maximum That looks like a nice gun and works well thanks for the video keep it coming
High Bill, great video!! Sound was still there, but I agree, it's a gremlin, only there when you speak (maybe try not running a filter on the audio track? Not sure), but it's not distracting. Also, I accidentally entered the drawing twice, as the UA-cam name confirmation is covered by the submit button. I'm using mobile chrome. Tried multiple orientations in both "desktop" & mobile modes. Just wanted to let you know so I don't get banned from the giveaways. Keep up the great work!!!!
Cool review and demonstration my friend not many good quality videos on this product another great video my friend I've been nearly watching you for two years I wouldn't have a channel if it was not seeing your videos you have learnt me a lot thank you for sharing👍😊👍😊😎😎 buddy
Thank you! It took a lot of guts to start up your channel, and I commend you for following through! Keep it up and let's grow the LockSport tribe together!
Vary the springs Bill! Double up a standard spring, use a bic spring, steel and brass, etc. pins made of different metals or other material might be interesting too... Anything that would stop a bump key should at least slow this thing down!
Does it get any cooler than this kit?! Kronos seems pretty unstoppable on most common locks, and some uncommon locks also! Damn hard to beat that German engineering and execution. Thanks for the indepth testing Bill!
Could someone explain how it would be possible for the "Flip it" to work and be efficient and move all of the five pins over the "open line" if the length of the screw of the "Flip it" reaches only untill the third pin or even less, between the second and the third pin ?
I do some picking for work. I am good, but not great. This would make my life sooo much easier. But, I don't pick nearly enough to justify the $$$. Winning this would be an awesome late birthday present.

That XTAR charger takes much longer to charge up a 2600 mAH 18650 battery (I happen to have those for my e-cig, and the same 0.5A charger). It takes a couple hours to fully charge. I don't mind it, really. I got this idea from somewhere: slower charging also wears the battery in a slower pace. I don't know if it is true or not, but I am hoping it is.
Mr. Bill, when you insert the needle into the lock, do you just rest the needle against the pins, or do apply any upward pressure against the pins? I have a manuel gun, but i have not practiced very much with it.
I hold it as far below the pins as the keyway will allow. That gives it time to gather momentum before striking them. Kind of like punching your little brother - the more windup you have, the better.
Please try it on the naughty bucket! It would also be cool to see how many master locks it can open in a minute, although you might not have enough locks to test that properly 😂
Will this do T pins, what about dimple locks? It looks a great piece of kit Bill and I’d really like one but the price puts me off a bit, guess it’s time to work smarter not harder! Thanks for a great review.
I suppose if you keep your tension light you can get through T-pins, but it won't work with dimple locks because the keyway is too narrow for the needle to gather up enough momentum to bounce the pins.

Great demonstration and test regimen. I knew about this product, but I’m really glad I clicked anyway!
It should be tested on your crazy pins!
Wow...that's a heck of a kit! Love that the manufacturers are listening to the community. We must vow to use our powers only for good! ;)
Wow this thing tore through the security pins like regular pins! Watching for years, always fun to see something like this and then I realize it would take me an hour to do the same lol
Very new to lock picking. Bought a cheapo set of picks on ebay and keep picking the same 5 locks over and over again. Learning a lot from you and The Lockpicking Lawyer. This tool is really impressive. Gonna have to get a Kronos tool.
will it open any locks from the naughty bucket?
mucles 00 the lockpicking lawyer has been sorting that recently lol
Maybe some, but I think most of those locks have key ways that cause problems.
As long as the keyway is open it can open most any schlage/kwikset I have. But when you grab a Euro lock (Newstar etc) with a constricted keyway you'll have problems.
also wondering this!

Excellent quality product and I'll be buying one soon. Thanks for the review, Bill
I watch (and I expect) your videos as a TV series ... And it's impossible to be bored here !
Thanks Bill.

I have something in my bedside drawer I can probably turn into this. Thanks for the idea.

you have any videos???
@@clintsingleton3846 😄🤣
Love your content! I see you are retired but still enjoying your content. Recently discovered this channel and it is inspiring. :)
I didn't think it would beat those security pins 🔓. Nice tool. Just got the dark shift set. Thanks for the reviews Bill.
Wow, thoroughly enjoyed that, Bill. Someone else mentioned it but my first thought was the naughty bucket.
I bought the big orange spinner! I agree that German engineering is second to none but the orange one has that huge spring and it's really hard to break ANY spring! I bought the southord epg when I first started, buddy of mine has the Kronos and I could open better than him "of course I practiced and we all know it makes perfect" but it's not a magic tool! You have to practice with this just like you practice with new picks
I never knew it could open security pin's so easily. Sweet kit but super costly for most hobbyist's. I have to win it! 😁👍🏽
I know what you mean - I can't afford one of my own either but really enjoy playing with the ones I give away!
Bosnianbill I don't know about that Bill. Maybe you should enter and try your luck. I'm sure it'll all be above board!😅👍🏽😉
Good idea but I wouldn't be able to sleep at night for the rest of my life... Besides, I don't NEED no stinkin' "master key". Mostly...😃
Bosnianbill haha! 😅👌 🍺too true.
Don't let this fool you. I bought the Kronos based on Bill's original review. I used it for a few days and sold it.

I did mess around with different amounts of tension as well as adjusting the travel on the pick. I had very, very little success with it.
I thought the way to defeat an electric pick was a mix of spring strength so they wouldn't oscillate at the same speed...
Yep, that is one of the most common defeats. Another is to use pins of widely varying masses - like one aluminum pin. THAT messes with it too.
That you turned me onto the Kronos...Bless you, damn you. (It is expensive but if you enjoy laughing at the lock that had previously frustrated you it is worth it)
You also imparted the rhythm used to great effect.

Excellent review and demonstration.
This kit really brings out the "lazy" in me. Happy July 4th Bill!!!
I think my mom has had one of these electro picks for years.
camjamsdad, lol. You sound like my therapist.
That's funny shit!
Hmmmm. That gives me an idea.
saintquinn007 Lockpicking obviously..
Truly amazing and very fast at picking, nice one mate ;-)
The Kronos was pretty cool, and now Muiltipick has added an excellent collection of accessories.
I’ve g the wentt gun and the only problem iv had is with assa cylinders possibly with the heavier springs and being fitted on Propertys where you don’t have the same access around the lock
Most euro cylinders probably 6 minutes maximum
That looks like a nice gun and works well thanks for the video keep it coming

That's one massive giveaway ! I would be blown-away if I won that, wow!
I know this is 3 years old but I couldn't resist...
It looks like an elegant pick for a more civilized age.
This is an excellent electro pick! It's kinda like magic if you know what your doing lol great review Bill

Cool review and demonstration my friend not many good quality videos on this product another great video my friend I've been nearly watching you for two years I wouldn't have a channel if it was not seeing your videos you have learnt me a lot thank you for sharing👍😊👍😊😎😎 buddy
Thank you! It took a lot of guts to start up your channel, and I commend you for following through! Keep it up and let's grow the LockSport tribe together!
My only question is what is the thickness of the pins? I imagine it won't do well on paracentric keyways.
You're right, of course. If the keyway is too paracentric to allow the needle to swing and gather momentum, then it won't work.
Wow! This dil... I mean electric pick gun is so amazing, Mr. Bill!
Love the videos. Going to watch them all.
Thank you, Sir!
love to see this vid in collaboration with the slow mo guys
This was amazing. I'm floored.
At least you can pick your jaw up now😁
No adds, ty. 🙏
Holy crap, that first opening. I wasn't expecting that.
Great tool! Thanks for another awesome video.
Give it a shot at some of the locks in your naughty bucket.
Very nice. Great video and information as always
Awesome give away. Probably the only way I could afford one. I don't need to get in fast, but it would be great to own one.
This looks like an amazing set!
I wasn’t able to find the kit for the price you mentioned.
Here you go, $390.03: shop.multipick.com/en/electric-lock-pick-guns/kronos-complete-electric-lock-pick-set
wonder if you could use an electric tooth brush or other tool as a substitute for a 300 pick.
what about the naughty bucket electro picking test?
Nice demonstrate bill 👍😎
this tool must make a locksmiths job so much easier when rekeying without a key
Would love to see a video on the electric lock pick inner workings! So I can go in the shop and make me one.
Great video!
Vibrations and reach arounds, sounds like a fun time.
You should join the Navy...😃
How about the chess pieces, christmas tree, and bullet packs?
I remember the originall review, nice!
Bill, great tool, I want one!!
Ver good unit. You are a great teacher!!!
Vary the springs Bill! Double up a standard spring, use a bic spring, steel and brass, etc.
pins made of different metals or other material might be interesting too... Anything that would stop a bump key should at least slow this thing down!
Amazing set. Wow.
Wow thats a really nice kit... Time to start saving up :)
Great giveaway, thanks@
Does it get any cooler than this kit?! Kronos seems pretty unstoppable on most common locks, and some uncommon locks also! Damn hard to beat that German engineering and execution. Thanks for the indepth testing Bill!
How does it do on locks with security keypins?
*Kim Zick did u even watch the video?
chalupa49 The key pins themselves are standard in the video; he tests against various security driver pins
This was amazing. My jaw is on the floor.
Lovely tool to have there!!!
The audio quality of this video was much better. Only a little bit of that scratching.
Great review as usual Bill great job.i think might have to enter. 🌟⭐🌟⭐🌟😎
Totally mashes the springs though, especially noticeable on the first lock.
This is a very interesting electric auto pick tool
Try it on a car lock!! I usually rake them open. I think it might work on it. I use my electric pick gun to open wafer locks all the time.
Mi Kronos después de 4 meses de comprada la aguja ya no vibra, cual será el problema?????
Be interesting to see if it could clear any of the naughty bucket.
I've never seen a Sparrows Revolver before. And now i need one.
What about a absolut old lock On you have to rotate.
what about trying a few of the challenge locks you have with it?
Could someone explain how it would be possible for the "Flip it" to work and be efficient and move all of the five pins over the "open line" if the length of the screw of the "Flip it" reaches only untill the third pin or even less, between the second and the third pin ?
What about locks with varying spring tensions ?
I do some picking for work. I am good, but not great. This would make my life sooo much easier. But, I don't pick nearly enough to justify the $$$. Winning this would be an awesome late birthday present.
Can you make a video on the lock smart mini durability unboxing etc

Thanks, I ordered one.
how about on locks such as,
Whitco, Lockwood, medeco,
I don't know about Whitco, as I don't have one. It does work on non-restricted keyway Lockwoods, but does not work on Medecos.
if i can find an old one floating around, i will try and send one over
I think I may be a little late to get in on the giveaway....but anyway...cool tool. 🤙
no Australian adapter ?
Probably if you buy it from an Australian dealer, you'll get one.
Cheers, will have a look at pickpals
That's a nice kit!
Can you finagle a dimple lock with it? It might be interesting to try.
Is there something in the naughty bucket you could try it on?
That XTAR charger takes much longer to charge up a 2600 mAH 18650 battery (I happen to have those for my e-cig, and the same 0.5A charger). It takes a couple hours to fully charge. I don't mind it, really. I got this idea from somewhere: slower charging also wears the battery in a slower pace. I don't know if it is true or not, but I am hoping it is.
Coolest lock pick I've ever seen
Hi there does it work on car locks?
Do those types of tools only work on pin tumblers?
Can you try it on some of the locks in the 'naughty bucket' ?
Mr. Bill, when you insert the needle into the lock, do you just rest the needle against the pins, or do apply any upward pressure against the pins? I have a manuel gun, but i have not practiced very much with it.
I hold it as far below the pins as the keyway will allow. That gives it time to gather momentum before striking them. Kind of like punching your little brother - the more windup you have, the better.
Lol, ok great! Thanks for your reply.
Bosnianbill “Kind of like punching your little brother” As the “Little brother” in my family.. I felt that in my soul.
Please try it on the naughty bucket! It would also be cool to see how many master locks it can open in a minute, although you might not have enough locks to test that properly 😂
Whauzers....this is a real neat set!
Great video
Cool product
how about narrow/evil keyways?
Now thats a serious price of kit
Now, if they come out with a saw-tooth blade, Bill can use it to open all those candy wrappers that have been befuddling him.
Will this do T pins, what about dimple locks? It looks a great piece of kit Bill and I’d really like one but the price puts me off a bit, guess it’s time to work smarter not harder! Thanks for a great review.
I suppose if you keep your tension light you can get through T-pins, but it won't work with dimple locks because the keyway is too narrow for the needle to gather up enough momentum to bounce the pins.
How well does it work for more complicated key ways? I would assume that the needle needs quite a lot of room to move.
Wow. Very nice.
How about some difficult paracentric keyways..
Where is the best place to purchase one?
Depends on where you live. Check the description for the links.
