@will smith I'm in one of my country's best universities, and a guy got caught because the guy he cheated off left a "made by (Name)" pop-up window in his program, and the cheater didn't change the name :) also we do mostly oral exams/lab defense so the got caught when he was defending the lab in front of the class
Yep. During this video I wondered how many hours of his life have been spent scrambling combinations while not looking at the digits. I think we need a scramble compilation video.
Masterlock CEO "How damaging is LPL's new video?" Toady "Well, the good news is he didn't pick our lock in seconds" CEO "And the bad news?" Toady "We have a new nickname" Edited the autocorrect.
@Steve Babiak MasterWork is a store brand name for cheap, chinese tools and 'useful stuff'. It's almost 'use once, then throw it away because you want the space to store something of actual value' bad...
@ShadowDragon8685 my hypothesis on why that is, is because those are usually a limited run, or at the very least, are only intended to sell for a short while until the next kids toy comes along, which means they don't need to bother cutting corners so much. sort of an inverse economy of scale.
I thought the same thing. Just "Damn... the level of confidence that he's got before even actuating the lever..." ! Is it that Masterlock just underestimates the reach of LPLs channel, or is it that their understanding of how the internet works is equal to their understanding of how mechanical security works?
@Eric Krings Masterlock can see the reach of his channel. He has 4 million subcribers. If we estimate conservatively that 10 times as many people have seen 1+ LPL video as subs, thats 40 million. There are 1.5 billion English speaking people in this world. I love LPL, but I do think that you're overestimating his reach
@Sumanitu Clip-Share is the 2nd most visited website globally, only behind Google. If I search "Pick a Masterlock" on Clip-Share, LPL is 2 out of the top 4 results (6 out of the top 10). This alone is reason enough to assume that Masterlock is underestimating the reach of LPLs channel... mostly due to it appearing as though Masterlock is also simultaneously underestimating the reach of Clip-Share as a platform in general.
That could be the only good thing? Plastic with a melting point so high not even burns from LPL can melt them. But that being said, somehow the plastic is highly non-flammable.
And warranted. My escooter was stolen while locked with their bike lock. It wasn't cut, they didn't have to. The head that attached to the cable was soft plastic... They literally just bent it in seconds and removed the lock from the cable. It's mind blowing that they aren't held accountable for selling junk
Padlocks sold by a nearby hardware store are all made by crayon kid. I fully expect there's one like in LPL's neighborhood, and I can just imagine him walking down the isle and hearing the clatter of locks just opening on their own.
There's 2 big home improvement changes in my area. One sells only Masterlock padlocks, the other has a variety of RUKO, ABUS and a few others (including a store brand of unknown quality).
He doesn't just diss the main manufacturer. He disses the entire class! Not only did they take the shortcut way through this production and design process, but they wasted hundreds of thousands in production costs for a competition that is slowly becoming unpopular.
They copy MasterLock because that's the brand most Americans recognize and buy, probably assuming that if they look like MasterLock then buyers will either think they *are* MasterLock or will assume that they have the same security/features as MasterLock. The problem is that they're right: they do have the same security/features as MasterLock, but that's not something to aspire to.
Yup. They just goto a factory that makes locks and buy them. Chances are these are designed by a few factories. I've witnessed a bunch of useless locks at tradeshows
The LPL seems like the kind of guy I'd have 10 beers without getting bored of the conversation. This man is funnier than lots of hour long comedy specials
There are minor design differences that mean they can’t just reuse the same tooling to make each one, so I think it’s more likely convergent evolution where this is a super cheap design to manufacture so that’s what they all do. Could also be due to patents, maybe whoever holds the patent on this in China is licensing it for super cheap so everyone uses it rather than a more secure design even if the manufacturing costs would have been identical.
So, with some tools (e.g. drills, impacts, electric wrenches etc.), a company can get in touch with some manufacturer, and spec a certain type and quality of tool For example, Harbor Freight can go to the same company Milwaukee does and get a similar design of tool, but spec'd differently So it's a bit cheaper, the motor isn't quite as good, the batteries are lower quality - whatever But both tools might use the same parts, and have very similar moulds for the plastic shell, looking almost identical I'd imagine that's what's happening here, where loads of companies (MasterLock, Abus, random Chinese brands etc.) go to the same manufacturer "Yeah, I want a 4-wheel lockbox with this kind of shape and fairly cheap" and so they make them this same thing, where it basically uses the exact same core as each other, made slightly different for the specific looks/design aesthetic
What a grand finale! I knew LPL had something up his sleeve, I mean we've seen him defeat these code wheel locks so many times that there had to be a twist.
I think the new business model for these lock manufacturers has become to get a guest appearance on your Clip-Share channel. You are a guaranteed sale for them for at least one lock.
I have a Master Lock on a storage unit. One day I went to the storage unit and I opened it with the key like I normally do. Everything inside the storage unit was different. A second or two later I realized that I had opened the unit beside mine. We had the same exact lock (you have to supply your own lock there) and my key opened both of them. After watching many of these videos over time, I've come to the conclusion that it probably happens more than I can imagine. I guess there's only so many lock/key combinations they can make.
Just a personal note here: Today I for the first time opened a lock without a key! It was the cheapest lock available (and used at work). I was using a bent paperclip. Before trying to even find the pins, I jammed it all the way in and turned. Zoink said the shackle! I think I'm starting a new hobby, and next time go for the pins . Thank you, LPL! 😊
@The Objective Observer Thanks! We don't have Master Locks here, or at least I haven't seen one. It is a generic (Chinese?) flattish about 45 mm lock, and if we did have Master Locks, this would be well under half the price. I have to mention that it isn't used to secure anything valuable, it's just a "note" on the door. This being Finland, for real purposes we use Abloy. 🤪
When I was a teacher's assistant in college, the way I caught a bunch of (college!) students cheating on their homework was because I noticed a suspicious number of assignments that all made the same mistakes, to the point that I would save out the "you made this, that, and the other error" grading justification once I saw the pattern.
@Eric Nelson And teachers do the same thing, they just think they must have everything perfect though because they're getting paid to say whatever the text books say. Unfortunately they're often not copying the smartest person in the room though.
The issue is that the "kid" they are copying of, may be bad in the security class, but does really well in the "how to turn a profit class", and well in todays society the latter class is the one that matters more
Unbelievable how you filled the screen with seven different Kamino clones of the Masterlock combo lock! It seems they are free to copy just as they are blocked from inventing. Thanks LPL for the video. Anthony
What's most amazing is that those products are still on sale, and those companies are still alive. Because you could also talk about customers that purchase from the _Crayon Kid_ copycats, and do not seem to be much smarter than them.
It's kind of a rule of lock-picking videos that you have to show the full pick process or it's, well, fake. Not to mention the fact that he's a stickler.
“Kids eating Crayons in the back of the class” To be fair, I think comparing Master Lock to a Marine is one of the highest praises you’ll ever give them. Semper Fi!
I love these videos. Thank you. They are the definition of, "Hold my beer and watch this!" Time and time again, it proves that locks only keep the honest people out. The best, fastest, easiest way to break into a house or a car is a rock.
I did realtor photography for a bit a few years back and went to photograph a house with the Master Lock version of this and the realtor didn't remember the combo so she hit it with a hammer and it popped right open lol 😂
What may be happening is a company like Master Lock asks multiple companies in China to come up with the sample and then they pick one company to create their product meanwhile the companies that were not chosen go ahead and sell the locks under another name
You'd think at some point they'd just spend the pennies and fix the most basic flaws in their design. Instead, they upgrade their "security" by changing the packaging to include the right buzzwords.
@notsevenfeettall they still sell their locks though. They just srll them a little cheaper than the Lockwood ones and people assume everything should be equal security wise so buy theirs. After all most of the time you use a padlock to prevent someone being purely opportunistic not someone even determined enough to bring bolt cutters with them and certainly not someone who is going to use any level of skill. Most of the time a cable tie would be equally as effective. So not really a need to change anything. That's just wasteful.
I always enjoy these videos because they are short and entertaining. My only question would be, does the LPL pick the lock first or does he take it apart to see how it can be picked and then do the video.
"... the guy who got held back in kindergarten..." 😆 I almost strangled on my coffee laughing at this! This will now be my daily go-to insult. Thank you.
This isn't just the dumbest kid in the class. This is the kid that the teacher keeps giving straight A's to due to a hefty amount of favoritism. Of course the new students are going to copy from him before realizing what was really going.
You have savaged pretty much every combination lock. Is there any lock of that type that you would consider to be at least acceptable in terms of security? Or are combination locks something to just avoid completely?
When I was a kid (in the 70s) a lot of kids had these bike locks with a combination lock sort of in-line to the cable. You could pick them just by applying tension to the cable and turning each wheel until you felt it click into place. Sounds like combination locks haven't gotten much more sophisticated in the last 50 years.
I remember when we used such combination locks for our BMXs.... 3-digit ones, at that, despite knowing that with enough patience (or a sensitive finger) it was trivial to open them.
LOL we use a lockbox just like these to secure the key to our tool cage at my base. I'll have to show them some of these videos of how simple they are to open
A fact that far too many people remain ignorant of: All these companies work together to stomp out competition while still giving the illusion of choice.
I have a confession to make: I was the crayon kid (not literally but that kind of stuff). But I was among the smartest - so smart that nobody wanted to be friends with "the nerd" unless there was a team assignment. So I did it to be funny and make friends. Maybe they thought master lock was super clever and just tried to level with the competition... IDK
I think my old workplace used one of these copycat lockboxes, the wheel and button are identical. We used that lock to keep the keys we used to get inside the buildings in the mornings.
Love that LPL is slowly changing lock industry for the better just by demonstrating they're simply bad lock designers and perhaps they will up their game or go out of business.😊

I like how "Delswin" is an anagram for "Swindle" because that's what they do with these kinds of locks
Good eye! Your comment should be up-voted to the top.
DelsLoss😊
@Michael He wasn't the first to notice the anagram. :P
@Samira Peri No, you were! I saw that after the fact. Props to you!
Beat me to it!
"Crayon Kid" -- new levels of insult hurled at Master Lock 😂
The deadpan delivery just makes it 👌
If anyone ever showed me the level of sheer contempt he does for these locks, I'd probably curl into a ball and cry
ralph wiggum of simpsons
@Nephila yeah he's got them crying.....all the way to the bank
LPL woke up and chose violence today apparently
Ralph Wiggum comes to mind...
Having marked homework before, you'd be surprised how often students will copy from the dumbest kid in class. And I'm talking about university here.
Then the likelyhood of succeeding in life becomes slim😐
I had a person in my coding class in community college who copied someones code word for word and didnt even change the name on it........
They're the easiest to copy off of after all.
@will smith I'm in one of my country's best universities, and a guy got caught because the guy he cheated off left a "made by (Name)" pop-up window in his program, and the cheater didn't change the name :)
also we do mostly oral exams/lab defense so the got caught when he was defending the lab in front of the class
In a classroom where everyone stuffs the crayons up their noses the kid eating them might seem like a genius.
That reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Homer was found to have a crayon wedged in his cranium via nasal insertion.
I love it when scrambling the combination takes longer than decoding the lock.
Yep. During this video I wondered how many hours of his life have been spent scrambling combinations while not looking at the digits. I think we need a scramble compilation video.
@GoatsAndChickens123 10 hours of LPL scrambling code wheels, a new ASMR video.
Masterlock CEO "How damaging is LPL's new video?"
Toady "Well, the good news is he didn't pick our lock in seconds"
CEO "And the bad news?"
Toady "We have a new nickname"
Edited the autocorrect.
Seems you gave them the new nickname of MasterWork. MasterLock would be pleased by that.
"Crayon-boy?" "Cray-cray boy?" "Cray-eating-on boy?"
Anyway, the joke is on you: Masterwork/lock is leading the way!
@stevebabiak6997 you gotta love autocorrect.
@Steve Babiak MasterWork is a store brand name for cheap, chinese tools and 'useful stuff'. It's almost 'use once, then throw it away because you want the space to store something of actual value' bad...
@Paul East I want to turn off autocorrupt.
When he said copying from the Dingaling eating a crayon, even before he showed it, we all knew he was referring to masterlock.
There are exactly two possibilities: either ML is the Crayon Kid, or they’re _also_ copying off of Crayon Kid. I’ll go with the first.
To be fair, we all knew he was referring to MasterLock when we saw the thumbnail.
Absolutely savage put down.
It's one and same factory in China that makes 20 brands , you can even buy that mechanism assembled , as spare part for some locker doors .
I want to see Crayola come out with a truly well made lock now just to spite the Crayon kid nick name.
That would be hilarious, especially since we've already seen that literal child's novelty locks not infrequently have better mechanisms.
@ShadowDragon8685 my hypothesis on why that is, is because those are usually a limited run, or at the very least, are only intended to sell for a short while until the next kids toy comes along, which means they don't need to bother cutting corners so much. sort of an inverse economy of scale.
"for reasons I cant understand, it seems like the entire class is copying off of crayon kid"
LPL delivers the best zingers
I absolutely love the subtle confidence flex in that he states the combination he decoded before even attempting to open the lock.
i don't know, it might be a fluke.
@pmnt_ No, it's orange. Flukes are yellow.
I thought the same thing. Just "Damn... the level of confidence that he's got before even actuating the lever..." ! Is it that Masterlock just underestimates the reach of LPLs channel, or is it that their understanding of how the internet works is equal to their understanding of how mechanical security works?
@Eric Krings Masterlock can see the reach of his channel. He has 4 million subcribers. If we estimate conservatively that 10 times as many people have seen 1+ LPL video as subs, thats 40 million. There are 1.5 billion English speaking people in this world. I love LPL, but I do think that you're overestimating his reach
@Sumanitu Clip-Share is the 2nd most visited website globally, only behind Google. If I search "Pick a Masterlock" on Clip-Share, LPL is 2 out of the top 4 results (6 out of the top 10).

LPL absolutely destroying these companies. Surprised that those locks didn't melt from the heat of those burns.
That could be the only good thing? Plastic with a melting point so high not even burns from LPL can melt them. But that being said, somehow the plastic is highly non-flammable.
Lock execs: quick market our locks as fireproof!
Might be only one company...
As long as people buy them they don’t care
Their butts are burned so often, they don’t sit down at the office anymore
LPL's absolute contempt for MasterLock is inspirational
And warranted. My escooter was stolen while locked with their bike lock. It wasn't cut, they didn't have to. The head that attached to the cable was soft plastic... They literally just bent it in seconds and removed the lock from the cable. It's mind blowing that they aren't held accountable for selling junk
Meanwhile, Masterlock is sitting in the back of the class eating Elmer's Glue.
Just guzzling off the bulk gallon jug of Elmer's at this point. I can practically hear the gutteral slurping at this point.
Not even Elmer's. Some knock off brand.
It’s extra in a crayon and construction paper sandwich
@Chokahit's just labelled, "white glue, compare to major named brands"
Padlocks sold by a nearby hardware store are all made by crayon kid. I fully expect there's one like in LPL's neighborhood, and I can just imagine him walking down the isle and hearing the clatter of locks just opening on their own.
"This is the LockPickingLawyer--" lock pops open "--and I see my reputation has preceded me."
Lockpicking by sheer intimidation
Lowes and Home Depot both sell nothing but Master Lock in my area. I had to go elsewhere to find something decent.
@NiveusLuna I 100% read that in his voice. Well done.
There's 2 big home improvement changes in my area. One sells only Masterlock padlocks, the other has a variety of RUKO, ABUS and a few others (including a store brand of unknown quality).
I love how like 75% of the picking process is just changing the code to something he doesn't know
I think Delswin went one step higher by providing a different color for their lock
Love your jokes throughout the video! 🤣❤ The part "The Ding-A-Ling in the back of a classroom eating crayons" had me dying!
He doesn't just diss the main manufacturer. He disses the entire class! Not only did they take the shortcut way through this production and design process, but they wasted hundreds of thousands in production costs for a competition that is slowly becoming unpopular.
They copy MasterLock because that's the brand most Americans recognize and buy, probably assuming that if they look like MasterLock then buyers will either think they *are* MasterLock or will assume that they have the same security/features as MasterLock.
The problem is that they're right: they do have the same security/features as MasterLock, but that's not something to aspire to.
MasterLock has also already figured out the cheapest way to make stuff already as an added bonus
Yeah, the problem is the crayon kid has been successful, at selling tons of his **** to the general public
Yup. They just goto a factory that makes locks and buy them. Chances are these are designed by a few factories. I've witnessed a bunch of useless locks at tradeshows
always a fun time when masterlock is made fun of. some great comparisons by LPL
Just when you think LPL has emasculated Master Lock in every way possible, "but wait, there's more!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I snorted my coffee!
Oh man...
LPL actually _could_ do the Billy Mays thing. Not with _energy,_ but worth _gravitas._
The LPL seems like the kind of guy I'd have 10 beers without getting bored of the conversation. This man is funnier than lots of hour long comedy specials
The next daily design team's meeting at Masters: "Crayons are back off the menu boys!"
Uggggggh
love the ending where he just keeps bringing out the "copy" locks!
anyone want to bet the lock mechanisms are all made at the same Chinese factory?
I would not be surprised, seeing how they all look similar....
There are minor design differences that mean they can’t just reuse the same tooling to make each one, so I think it’s more likely convergent evolution where this is a super cheap design to manufacture so that’s what they all do. Could also be due to patents, maybe whoever holds the patent on this in China is licensing it for super cheap so everyone uses it rather than a more secure design even if the manufacturing costs would have been identical.
So, with some tools (e.g. drills, impacts, electric wrenches etc.), a company can get in touch with some manufacturer, and spec a certain type and quality of tool
For example, Harbor Freight can go to the same company Milwaukee does and get a similar design of tool, but spec'd differently
So it's a bit cheaper, the motor isn't quite as good, the batteries are lower quality - whatever
But both tools might use the same parts, and have very similar moulds for the plastic shell, looking almost identical
I'd imagine that's what's happening here, where loads of companies (MasterLock, Abus, random Chinese brands etc.) go to the same manufacturer
"Yeah, I want a 4-wheel lockbox with this kind of shape and fairly cheap"
and so they make them this same thing, where it basically uses the exact same core as each other, made slightly different for the specific looks/design aesthetic
No chance. I know a losing bet when I see one!
It's much more likely that the other locks are simply copying the master lock one. And they are probably all Chinese companies
Thanks Debbie for getting me through geometry class.
The most secure that lock has ever been was when it was still in the package.
🔥🔥🔥
Only if it comes in one of those bull$#!+ plastic packages that you need a knife and a lever to open.
What a grand finale! I knew LPL had something up his sleeve, I mean we've seen him defeat these code wheel locks so many times that there had to be a twist.
I think the new business model for these lock manufacturers has become to get a guest appearance on your Clip-Share channel. You are a guaranteed sale for them for at least one lock.
He's always so polite with his insults to Master Lock.
"Even the dimmest among us..." LPL being a sussy baka
Love the way he tells you what the combo is before he tries to open it to verify.
It’s incredibly amusing how you are speaking so incredibly softly and friendly, while tearing Masterlock and the copycats to impossibly tiny shreds :D
I've heard some harsh reviews on this channel, but this one was absolutely savage, even more than the ones that can be opened with no tools at all.
If I was not a multi-year subscriber already, the "in the back of the class eating crayons" remark would definitely win me over.
"Copying off crayon, kid." You, sir, have won the Internet for today. 😅😅😅
I have a Master Lock on a storage unit. One day I went to the storage unit and I opened it with the key like I normally do. Everything inside the storage unit was different. A second or two later I realized that I had opened the unit beside mine. We had the same exact lock (you have to supply your own lock there) and my key opened both of them. After watching many of these videos over time, I've come to the conclusion that it probably happens more than I can imagine. I guess there's only so many lock/key combinations they can make.
I’d be interested in seeing how many of those lock brands are owned by Master Lock’s parent company.
I'm loving how increasingly brutal LPL is getting towards Masterlock!!
One of these days he's going to have a one in a million instance where he scrambles back into the combination instead of out of it.
Just a personal note here: Today I for the first time opened a lock without a key! It was the cheapest lock available (and used at work). I was using a bent paperclip. Before trying to even find the pins, I jammed it all the way in and turned. Zoink said the shackle! I think I'm starting a new hobby, and next time go for the pins . Thank you, LPL! 😊
Congratulations! Was it a Master Lock?
@The Objective Observer Thanks! We don't have Master Locks here, or at least I haven't seen one. It is a generic (Chinese?) flattish about 45 mm lock, and if we did have Master Locks, this would be well under half the price. I have to mention that it isn't used to secure anything valuable, it's just a "note" on the door. This being Finland, for real purposes we use Abloy. 🤪
And I do have full control of its legitimate use.
Bro failed kindergarten and this man just opened up my whole life history like it was guarded by master lock.
The name is an anagram of "swindle".
And a lazy anagram at that - almost as lazy as the lock design.
Good catch!
"if you are gonna cheat on a test, you copy off a smart person" feels like this man is speaking from experience
Just a little thing called common sense.
I'm starting to wonder if these AI generated comments are posted by a real person, seeing as how youtube does nothing about all the bot spam.
@stigma of the rose im just curious, which message did you think was AI generated?
@Sam Silvestro heisenberg. He comments freaking everywhere, and very often it is obviously not written by a human.
@stigma of the rose 🤣 some humanoids are worse than a decent good old bot.....dont forget!
Nice job LPL.
I recall you doing this with at least a dozen locks in the past 5 years. Nothing says cheap crap like never, ever changing the design.
"Even the dimmest among us know that if you're going to cheat on a test, you copy off of a smart person."
It's okay, the first step is to figure out who the smart person is...
If you're smart enough for that, you can pass the class on your own!
When I was a teacher's assistant in college, the way I caught a bunch of (college!) students cheating on their homework was because I noticed a suspicious number of assignments that all made the same mistakes, to the point that I would save out the "you made this, that, and the other error" grading justification once I saw the pattern.
@Eric Nelson that showed how not smart they were....i always put in a couple of my own mistakes
@Eric Nelson And teachers do the same thing, they just think they must have everything perfect though because they're getting paid to say whatever the text books say. Unfortunately they're often not copying the smartest person in the room though.
I just heard AMOGUS. 😆
The issue is that the "kid" they are copying of, may be bad in the security class, but does really well in the "how to turn a profit class", and well in todays society the latter class is the one that matters more
Master Lock will forever be known as the "Dingling at the back of the classroom eating crayons". 😂
"...eating crayons." Can't stop chuckling.
I knew it was Master Lock even before that ending, but when he pulled it from the side, I couldn't help but laugh.
Let's be real we all saw it, knew exactly what the weakness was just because of how many times he's explained it to us.
Unbelievable how you filled the screen with seven different Kamino clones of the Masterlock combo lock!
It seems they are free to copy just as they are blocked from inventing.
Thanks LPL for the video.
Anthony
What's most amazing is that those products are still on sale, and those companies are still alive. Because you could also talk about customers that purchase from the _Crayon Kid_ copycats, and do not seem to be much smarter than them.
I love the confidence in the code reading before pulling the trigger and opening it...gold!
You're supposed to roast them, not incinerate them, LPL.
CREMATION!
LPL always bringing thermobaric weapons to a knife fight...
I love how honest you are every time scrambling the code. We would trust you did it even if done off screen by now :)
It's kind of a rule of lock-picking videos that you have to show the full pick process or it's, well, fake. Not to mention the fact that he's a stickler.
At this rate, I think we need a selection of locks that we SHOULD be using since it seems 99.99999% of the locks on the market are all crap 😆
“Kids eating Crayons in the back of the class”
To be fair, I think comparing Master Lock to a Marine is one of the highest praises you’ll ever give them. Semper Fi!
I love these videos. Thank you. They are the definition of, "Hold my beer and watch this!" Time and time again, it proves that locks only keep the honest people out. The best, fastest, easiest way to break into a house or a car is a rock.
You know it's going to be fun whenever a Master lock is introduced :)
Wow, this was one of the most brutal videos I've seen on this channel!
Wow, the shade on Master Lock flows fierce and hot today 😂 LPL woke up this morning and chose sass!
I did realtor photography for a bit a few years back and went to photograph a house with the Master Lock version of this and the realtor didn't remember the combo so she hit it with a hammer and it popped right open lol 😂
What may be happening is a company like Master Lock asks multiple companies in China to come up with the sample and then they pick one company to create their product meanwhile the companies that were not chosen go ahead and sell the locks under another name
LPL calling a company "crayon kid" is a new level of nuclear burn
Still more secure than the fingerprint locks without a shackle that's being pushed all over the Internet, Clip-Share and TikTok 😂
haha, Master Lock will surely appreciate being called "crayon kid" 🤣
You'd think at some point they'd just spend the pennies and fix the most basic flaws in their design. Instead, they upgrade their "security" by changing the packaging to include the right buzzwords.
It certainly seems like they've tried very hard to earn the title
@notsevenfeettall buzzwords are cheaper than fixing the problem though!
@notsevenfeettall they still sell their locks though. They just srll them a little cheaper than the Lockwood ones and people assume everything should be equal security wise so buy theirs. After all most of the time you use a padlock to prevent someone being purely opportunistic not someone even determined enough to bring bolt cutters with them and certainly not someone who is going to use any level of skill. Most of the time a cable tie would be equally as effective.
So not really a need to change anything. That's just wasteful.
We definitely need a brute force challenge for this lock.
I always enjoy these videos because they are short and entertaining. My only question would be, does the LPL pick the lock first or does he take it apart to see how it can be picked and then do the video.
"... the guy who got held back in kindergarten..." 😆
I almost strangled on my coffee laughing at this! This will now be my daily go-to insult. Thank you.
edit: typos due to chuckling
Brilliant LPL. I never tire of watching your magical hands.
It's called Delswin because the name Master was already taken.😂 Great video as always.
I love your videos, but some time it would be nice to know good locks to pick from. Maybe you could create your top 10 best locks of the year.
LPL has sung PacLock's praises in the past, if you're looking for a decent brand.
@Draconai Auracto Thanks. I'll read through past videos to find them.
That final shot of the usual suspects lined up was great.
This isn't just the dumbest kid in the class. This is the kid that the teacher keeps giving straight A's to due to a hefty amount of favoritism. Of course the new students are going to copy from him before realizing what was really going.
Crayon eating and Crayon Kid! You got me laughing hard enough to snot out my drink!! That was hilarious! 😂😂
You have savaged pretty much every combination lock. Is there any lock of that type that you would consider to be at least acceptable in terms of security? Or are combination locks something to just avoid completely?
I need people to start using the word "dingaling" more often in sentences so thanks to LPL for my daily fix!
Master Lock mascot Ralph Wiggum at your service!
Mascot? Ralph is their chief engineer. lol
Oh that's a great description of Master Lock, 'The dingaling at the back of the classroom eating crayons'. Spot on.
'The dingaling in the back of the class, eating crayons' Love it!!
😆🤣🤣🤣😂😂😅😅😄 Thank you. I needed a good laugh this morning!😂 And you never fail to deliver ❤
Tension on the opening lever can often be used instead of shim. For bike locks just pull or push the shank to bind the shaft.
When I was a kid (in the 70s) a lot of kids had these bike locks with a combination lock sort of in-line to the cable. You could pick them just by applying tension to the cable and turning each wheel until you felt it click into place. Sounds like combination locks haven't gotten much more sophisticated in the last 50 years.
Me too (as commented recently). The only sophistication is using a bit of bent metal to put the tension on.
Ouch the roasting is savage in this one 😂
This was really one of the hardest burns on master lock 😂
I remember when we used such combination locks for our BMXs.... 3-digit ones, at that, despite knowing that with enough patience (or a sensitive finger) it was trivial to open them.
After all this time he's been doing these videos I've totally expected an LPL special edition modified lock that is not so easily picked....
LOL we use a lockbox just like these to secure the key to our tool cage at my base. I'll have to show them some of these videos of how simple they are to open
I love how he announced the combo before he opened the lock
I was surprised to see Squire made that bad lock!!
Probably just paid a Chinese company to screen print their name onto an average lock.
I’m surprised Squire didn’t figure out how to fix this one. They seemed pretty intent on security.
This has got to be one of the funniest videos I have seen over the last year!
It's a special kind of burn when LPL doesn't even bother picking your lock because he already knows how bad it is just from looking at it.
A fact that far too many people remain ignorant of: All these companies work together to stomp out competition while still giving the illusion of choice.
I have a confession to make: I was the crayon kid (not literally but that kind of stuff). But I was among the smartest - so smart that nobody wanted to be friends with "the nerd" unless there was a team assignment. So I did it to be funny and make friends. Maybe they thought master lock was super clever and just tried to level with the competition... IDK
🤣 Crayon eating dingaling
I think my old workplace used one of these copycat lockboxes, the wheel and button are identical. We used that lock to keep the keys we used to get inside the buildings in the mornings.
Love that LPL is slowly changing lock industry for the better just by demonstrating they're simply bad lock designers and perhaps they will up their game or go out of business.😊
I remember a 3 wheel one of these and I could just always feel that groove and opened it in 10 without knowing the password or even having a tool
