Hey any chance you can challenge the bump resistance. I know your a lock picker but would love to see how true the bumping thing is. Not my way of entering but would be very entertaining!
By the number of cuts on the key - each cut interacts with one pin, positioning it vertically. If there were more pins than there are cuts, then those extra pins would not allow the lock to open since there would be nothing on the key to position them correctly. (There is an exception to this: In locksport challenge locks, you'll sometimes find one more pin than there are cuts on the key, this extra pin will interact with the tip of the key. You don't really see that in commercial locks.)
trying to get a mul-T-lock of the Israel guy now. paid 3days ago haven't seen him do anything. messaged him today, no answer. on the bright side got a bag going right now with 7 locks for you. 1 is a lockwood I got with no key I can't get would love to see how someone else fairs. only problem is I don't have a computer but I'll be heading to my mothers tomorrow with my baby she's got a computer and landline all that old crap. not understanding why you can't pm on mobile devices.
Romshe_wzgwvp0qc was the seller. Messaged him twice I understand they have time but 4 days and no replies. Everything I've bought off ebay usually gets sent out ina day or 2. Bought some Goso dimple picks 2 just waiting for them to come, shipped instantly but have a distance to travel. I just got an Abus marine didn't look at size just saw pic the lock is cute it's so small lol.
Plastic core locks baffle me. They're like joke novelty locks. Who's really using these to secure something. I wouldn't even use it for a middle schoolers locker.

lol, padlock comedy! I agree with the ranking but I think so because of the awwwwesome weather protection!

I used this lock to secure my bike in college lol. I just started lockpicking and it’s the first lock I’ve picked so far
You need to invest in a mill so we could have a visual inspection of the "5 pin" cylinder!
Haha, very funny. Ooops, open? Very cool:-)
Yeah, this lock is a bit of a joke. Oh well.
On Guard, an awkward name considering the dismal quality and security.
True enough -- this one is particularly bad.
Sorry for the uninformed question but how can you tell how many pins are in the lock by looking at the key?

Which seller? PM me when you get a chance and I send a mailing address. Because of the strange way YT is set up, I can't initiate a PM with you.

I've dealt with him maybe 5 times... never any problems. Give him some time. Shipping from the land of milk and honey is going to be slow anyway.

I have the 50mm lockwood if you want it
Thanks -- PM sent. :-)
Ya I have noticed how terrible the feedback is on these plastic cores as well. Total garbage. Great picking though and thanks for sharing.
Plastic cores, wow, just wow.
Yup, that sums it up
