I am still amazed watching a top locksmith/lockmaster expert use jiggler and bump keys to open locks. I bought a Chinese set of picks and a see-through training lock and while the quality of the tools was not all that good, it is not until one has a go at picking that one realizes the skill and experience needed to pick locks. You make it look so easy, love your content. Hello from down under. Stay safe BIll.
The profile you said worked on your Explorer was the same that also worked on 3 family members Dodge vehicles (2 Rams and a Grand Caravan), almost worked as well as the factory key 😕. Great demo! I don't know how often I'd use them but I'd love to have a nice collection of different sized jigglers like those in my arsenal 😃👍
Jiggler keys are brilliant bits of kit. I keep my three sets in my work bag.... Quick and fast for getting into display cabinets at work, lockers are filing cabinets. By way Bill, love the belt buckle and lapel locksmith items. Very cool.
Thanks Bill. Partly thanks to you that I got some lock sports tools that I managed to get my brother's camper open as he locked himself out (with the engine running). Got 1 lock raked and the 2nd lock I gave up on and tried some of my keys on and got it open as well. :) Happy brother. And all that at like 2am in the rain...
I would probably have more luck with the jigglers, than I do with picking🤣 Like the extraction tools, I have a set, but happily haven’t had to use them yet.
I had just mentioned jigglers on one of your videos 😅. Mind you I was like 10 or 12 when we had our body shop, but those were my first experience with lock picking. Ever since then, I was hooked. Great demonstration as always
I've had a few people ask me about @Wendt tools especially with that giveaway you locknoob and LPL were in. Hard to get a hold of in America so I appreciate you doing this review. Thanks Bbill
Thanks for the video Bill! I was always curious about how exactly a key extractor is used, but honestly was just too lazy to look it up. Super glad this popped up in my subscription feed. Lol. Kudos!
Had these for years and use them often. (Jigglers) Broken key extractors are life savers. I use a different bump hammer though. I do like that belt buckle and lapel pin
I´m using those extractors for years now, they are great! Sometimes i can even extract a broken key with a hook but to be honest, in about 90% of the times i attack it like you do at about 5:00... It is top of the keyway here in europe of course, that troubled me at the beginnig :-))) Springs will always push the pin up on this side of the pond... :-))) But I nearly always try to help with a pick to push the pins, especially if the key is broken deep inside the lock. Your extractors will live longer ;-) Beside that it is a really pain in the a.. if you can grab the broken key somehow with the extractor but one pin is still blocking due to the warding, so you have to push it out of the way. Also used 2 extractors sometimes to get the job done! Great work Bill, stay healthy and kind regards from Austria, Christian
I used to just use old hack saw blades that I collected.. just trim em down a little on a grinder and hammer em into the lock so the teeth embed into the soft brass key and pull it out.
Once upon a long time ago before I started picking, I pulled a snapped key out of a doorknob by putting a couple VERY TINY drops of crazy glue on the half a key I had, and pushed it in and pressed it hard against the busted piece stuck inside for a second or two, then very slowly and carefully pulled the whole thing out. No matter how you get it out, if you have both pieces save them and they can be stuck together in the cutter clamp.to cut a new one. Just make sure none of the glue touches anything except the break, or you'll have bigger problems when you glue the whole key into the cylinder.
Bill, great video as ever. Regards the expensive item review ... contact the company directly and ask them if they would be interested in lending you the gear. You have a huge and relevant audience they should be interested in knowing more.... and even if they decline or try to put limitations on it might give us a clue about how over-sold the claims might be.
After the first video of yours that I saw i immediately wanted a set of lock picks. Knowing no better I bought a set of GoSo picks from wish. I tried my first master lock and got it open on the second try. All of the sudden i thought i was a master lock picker. Lmao. I now know better. Anyeay i asked a friend at work if i could try to open his passenger side door and he said "yeah go ahead." Brand new pick never been used immediately broke off in his door lock. To this day it is still lodged in there because that wonderful set of picks did not come with an extractor. Wish me luck please cause i would really like to get that piece of junk metal out of my friends door. Lol.
You probably dont care at all but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Collin Abdullah i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Collin Abdullah DAMN IT ACTUALLY WORKED :O I literally got access to my instagram password within roughly 30 mins of using the site. I had to pay 15 bucks but definitely worth the price :) Thank you so much you saved my ass !
Hello Bosnianbill, l hope all is well with you, and I love your videos, Thanks to you/your videos I got myself a set of SOUTHORD , PXS-14, it comes with a one broken key extractor in the kit, any way hope all is well with you ,great vids!
Used to drive a ford explorer, then he became a world famous lockpicker and now he has a limo with a driver. 😋 Something tells me that the city where Bill lives has a search light with the locklab logo on it.
Julian Collins they are the first thing I try before anything else best investment since I started my Lockout service here in Georgia.. I have the big easy from steck... I have a pick set from southord.. I’m able to get into most anything with the tools I’ve accumulated.. anything more than that I have a couple of real pros I can call for hard stuff🇺🇸👍
@@johnteague136 ,I operate now outside my normal job for the odd lock out situation,houses cars etc(legally i`ll add lol) And for some bizzare reason i`ve never gone for a set of jigglers,,Got a few sets myself from southord,a few single Sparrows hooks and my fellow countryman Chris Dangerfield,Chris`s Polaris rake set is highly recommended by the way,A really top drawer set that is for quick entry,Bill has a review on here,,So quick i`ve felt a bit guilty at times taking peoples money lol :)
Julian Collins a lot of times I don’t take people’s money.. this is my side gig.. I know I’ll never be rich.. but if I can help someone out of a jam.. then I will.. if they offer.. I take.. I see no reason to scam people.. who are already in a bad situation to start with.. take care over there be safe🇺🇸🙂
I have a set of jigglers and there is a small triangular one with a “1” stamped on it. There are no grooves or bitting of any kind. It’s almost like a shim. What is it used for?
Cool bill ! Just curiosity are you no longer doing challenge locks ? I’m working on the next one , the first one Sables trap almost had you and I lost another pup last year so I was going to make one in his honor . Thanks for showing us these new toys! Btw I need some new tension bars what ones would you suggest that provide the best range of thickness and can take some decent abuse ? Thanks sir !
No, I stopped accepting challenge locks about a year ago. I'll re-post the announcement below with the details. Check out either the MultiPick set of pry bars, or the one that Andy Law makes. Both are really strong and come in a good selection of widths. --------------------------------------------------- Here's what I posted on FB, Twitter, YT & LockLab.com about a year ago: ----------------------------- The "Challenge Lock" series has come to an end. Not only am I out of the "Whipped" PacLocks, but there were many other things that I took into consideration. 1. Cost. Every day I was receiving between 5-10 locks from around the world. I had to return most of them to the owner, which was a SIGNIFICANT expense - always more than $500/month but sometimes approaching $1000. What little I receive in viewer support was quickly consumed in return postage. I was spending several hundred dollars of my own money every month just to return locks. 2. Quality. Some locks were well designed and contained some unique innovations, but they were few and far between. Most "challenge locks" were threaded chambers with serrated pins built on old,beaten up Kwikset cores. The number of trap pins and super springs has continued to increase as copycats realized this might be a way to get a "Whipped" PacLock - meaning I was breaking and bending more expensive picks. I found this very discouraging. 3. Time. Unpacking, picking, disassembling, repacking, answering emails, etc. Each challenge lock took a lot of time to figure out and then return - even if I did not make a video of it. I was spending most of my time setting up and videoing locks that turned out to be copycats of other people's ideas - meaning I could not post the video for fear of viewers saying "WHAT? Another Kwikset with threaded chambers?" 4. Viewer Interest. My goal with LockLab was to remain "New Picker Friendly" and attract new members to LockSport, but LockLab was quickly becoming the "Challenge Lock Channel", interesting to only a limited number of people with advanced skills. Every time I posted a challenge lock video people complained and unsubscribed to the channel. New pickers were overwhelmed by the complexity of challenge locks and became discouraged. My analytics were very clear on this: If I want to lose subscribers all I needed to do was post a challenge lock video. 5. Channel growth. The LockLab's growth was stagnating and I needed to change something before it was too late. Since I stopped doing challenge locks the number of subscribers has increased, the number of comments increased, "likes" went up, and the channel has grown. So, yes. I stopped making challenge lock videos. It was not an easy decision but I could not afford to continue doing it for all of these reasons. The money saved from NOT returning challenge locks I am now spending on locks - and have been doing so for the past month or two. I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to return to picking real-world locks in a wide variety. It is good for me (mentally), as well as good for LockLab. bill
The jiggler set for cars is available cheap on ebay but I can't find the smaller sizes. The links by Bill are in Germany and the shipping alone costs more than the 2 sets combined! Anyone know where to find the smaller sets? Thanks
I saw in a video on Deviant Olem's channel an explanation of TSA keys. They said that before the TSA standardized luggage keys, the airline lost luggage staff found that the locks on luggage were very similar. Perhaps all the luggage companies got their locks from a few vendors. So the airport staff collected the keys that opened multiple suitcases and used them. When the TSA was created, they took those keys that were already being used and designated them as TSA keys.
Bill, If I happen to be lucky and win something, how much does it cost to send it to the Netherlands? I've read somewhere that it can be quite expansive.
These car jiggler sets look laser-cut with the excessive heat - the edges look somewhat annealed? Could anybody tell, if they are actually annealed (softened) upon laser-cutting, or maybe even hardened? That depends of the kind of steel they use, its heat-treating temperature et cetera. Guys?
Extractors.... Mmm Yes. When someone breaks a key; and can't leave "aww crap" alone, and it turns into "Ahhhhhhh Dannngit!!, I think I'd better call someone now."
"Tomahawk" I can hear the whining starting up. Bill, sadly Google and Amazon do not have anything for lock sport belt buckles. If you or anyone else ever finds one please let us know. No jokes about "gettin jiggy" with the lock
SO Wish those that Kept Breaking Into my house would have used these. The REPEATED work on Windows, Doors, Screens, . . Trying to 'fix' what Thieves damaged, just Anger[ed]-s me More. Now it's Blood and Body Parts. . . . No 'special tool' required. Come and Take it - or at least try. _just sayin'_

Excellent! I need to up my jiggler game! Great vid as always Bill!
Reinserting the half key hopes to push the broken off part to align with the pin chamber depths, then use the other half as a turning tool.
I had just mentioned jigglers on one of your videos 😅. Mind you I was like 10 or 12 when we had our body shop, but those were my first experience with lock picking. Ever since then, I was hooked. Great demonstration as always

Hmm,' ..the most painful place to get a cut.' I can think of a few more painful places. The ring on the bump key hints at two of them. Thanks Bill.
Thanks for the video Bill! I was always curious about how exactly a key extractor is used, but honestly was just too lazy to look it up. Super glad this popped up in my subscription feed. Lol. Kudos!

Great demo skill using camera to look while doing the unlocking. Always appreciate your videos in teaching. Keep up the great 🔐 skills. ⭐👍🏻

If you can't find a castration ring for farm animals use a breakfast cereal hoop.
Naaaa just kidding!!!
Excellent review Bill 😁👍🏻
I have extracters but have never used them or even played with them. I've never broken a key off before
If you left the broken tip in the lock, you could just insert the back half and form a whole key, and lock and unlock the door...
Really neat stuff wish I was that fast.
That's what she said
Dave your girl can show you how to be fast.

Thanks Bill
you had me at castration rings.
I only got the large juggler set but I think I need the mini and micro sets. Jiggly jugs are the best though!😂🍺😎🇦🇺
I have a set of jigglers and there is a small triangular one with a “1” stamped on it. There are no grooves or bitting of any kind. It’s almost like a shim. What is it used for?
Here's a tricky one: try fishing a broken cruciform key bit that stuck deep in.
The large jugglers work great on motorcycle gas tank locks
Cool review bill thank you
Looks like the medium jugglers would of worked better on the masterlock?
Awesome as always
Greetings from Trinidad! We love u here! Stay safe, stay legal ⚖
I can pick and rake, but i get nothing with jigglers; to me it feels so random its a waste of time, although clearly i am wrong.
It's a TSA lock. Did you try blowing on it? That or a hard stare should open it.
👍REALLY KOOL.😎 STUFF!
ARE U OF BOSNIAN HERITAGE BB?
Very interesting...
Thank you!
Are the jigglers supposed to work on slider locks?
Cool bill ! Just curiosity are you no longer doing challenge locks ?

Bosnianbill Thanks for all the time you spend to keep us intertwined and entertained !
You could start a challenge lock club with fellow lock sport participants. Just a thought.
The jiggler set for cars is available cheap on ebay but I can't find the smaller sizes. The links by Bill are in Germany and the shipping alone costs more than the 2 sets combined! Anyone know where to find the smaller sets? Thanks
Kinda late, but you could find a photo of them online and use a hacksaw blade and make a set of your own
