    Despite having watched many lockpicking videos, yours was the first that actually explained why the pins bind as they do. I also really liked your wooden demonstration version, and how you were able to visually demonstrate it without having to look through a tiny camera or lots of clear plastic.

      Everyone should check out the “Lock Picking Lawyer”, he is the master. he can typically pick any lock and I really mean any lock under 2 minute and then take out all the pins and springs, to show the audience. His videos rarely takes more than 5 minutes. He also never shows his face , only his hands.

    Once i had bend the tweezers using it as a tension tool and i had used the stainless pin as raking tool,the toothpick was too big,but the pin was too short,so i holded it with the pliers of my SAK,finaly it works with a little bit of luck.Now in an emergency situation I could separate the tweezers in to two part,to use one as tension tool and to file the second part with the metal file from my SAK to use it as a raking tool(i carry two tweezers,one my pocket,one in my key chain,Lol).The paper clips are great locking picking tools,MacGyver's style...anyway,nice video as always,Greetings from Greece my friend.

    Excellent video.
    If your SAK has the pliers & a file, you can use bobby pins like girls put in their hair to make all kinds of funky little picks & tensioners.
    And you don't even really need those.
    You can snap the bobby pin in half, use the lock itself for any bends that need to be made and grind any sharp corners down on the pavement

    I have some practice locks to play with, so got on it to try. But used the added sewing needle in the saw slot as the pick, and bended the tweezers with the can opener to create a tentioner (and bended it back when done), it worked easy on the easy practice lock, after a couple of tries some others locks but locks with high and low key teeth did not open I got myself the other Macgyver toy (paper clip that kan be added on the keyring) and bended a little hook with the hole of the awl to improvise a hook pin and got some extra ( not all) locks opened.
    I tried to take the tweezers apart with just my sak (modified ranger) but almost cut myself.... maybe a video to take those apart in the field with just a sak could help😉

    Excellent explanation of how locks work!
    This will work on small, light locks, but with heavier locks you will not likely have enough torsion force to lock the pins in place.
    I bet you could modify some of the other tools on the SAK to pick just about any lock if you took it apart or had 2 SAK's modified purposefully.... I did something like that with feeler gauges.

      The only McGuyver lockopening with the Swiss army knife i remember, was one of these old locks where the key is a round rod with the keybit attacked. He pushed the key out the other side while he had slid a map under the door to catch it and pulled tha map back. Conveniently thegap between the floor and the door was big enough that the key would fit.

      @DorkForge Год назад +1

      @@nirfz That's one of the more realistic examples, but they've also just had him straight up defeat locks (I believe in-door knob) bu inserting a tool and fiddling, memory says the awl. Some googling says that probably happened in Season 1 Episode 10 'Target Macgyver' and it was in fact the awl on the back.
      He has however, also picked a lock with tweezers, but in true show style he just slid them in a waggled them until it opened, no two tool approach.

      @@DorkForge ok i didn't remember those😁. (found someone who did a little mod and used a tensioner: ruclips.net/video/uN9huKFCw3I/видео.html)
      One thing i really have to give to McGuyver is that he had 2 of the most realistic bomb "defusals" i have seen on screen: At one instance he put his carboard icehockey ticket between the contacts of a relay as an isolation (so when the button was pushed no current was flowing and the detonator was not ignited), and on another occasion he pulled the detonators out of the c4 and removed the explosives far enough that the detonator couldn't detonate them.
      Everytime i see someone trying to figure out which colour wires to cut on screen i remember these two instances.
