I think you need to add 2.5mm, 3.5mm flat, #1, #2 philips, 1/4”, 5/16 nut driver, T10,T15 and T25 security torques to your A list. without them your surely SOL on getting very far. I didn’t list any hex keys because the torques I listed fit 99% of the hex screws used in security electronics. Also a couple feet of flat black, gray, brown, and light brown/tan gaffer tape. and rare earth magnets and a 22ga~18ga wire for jumpers
Very on point. Only difference is I would move the jigglers up to A tier. Only for the fact that they don't cost that much and they open a decent range of items. One of the more "key like" jigglers will even open some kwikset and schlage locks. Other than that, I 100% agree with you.
Great video! I agree with most of your rankings (within a level or so) with the exception of the thumb-turn tool. I agree that it has limited utility and you don't really need it ... until you need it. I would probably bring it up to a B. Thanks for bringing us more quality content.
Thanks! The thumb turn tool is probably more useful than I’ve ranked it, but I’ve never been in a position to use it, that’s most likely just due to personal experience though
Was kinda surprised by the can of air. Every semester my prox card doesn't work for the first few days. I just slip a piece of paper through the door and wiggle it till I hear the lock click. I've been able to get envelopes around the center post on double doors too, not sure if the straw on a can of air could make the angle.
Great vid. Personally I would add a piece of Magnetic Field Viewing Paper to find magnetic switches in alarms. 5cm x 5cm for $5 US I would also add a tiny container of penetrant/lubricant. Why do they call it Lubricant? They should call it Lubri-Can :D
Yooo, man. Nice vid but I do have to disagree with you about the tubular lock pick/decoder. Barring the ace lock being broken, there are very few locks I havent been able to get open with my hpc. You get what you pay for. It takes a lot of practice, especially on weather worn locks.
I find that picking the tubular locks and resting them between positions and using the tubular lock pick to decode the lock is the most effective method, I run into far too many Ace2’s rather than vulnerable tubular locks
@@amihirata While that is an efficient method, beware that ace2 clones have very soft pins. Picking, followed by decoding while off of spring tension can break the lock if you aren't careful, (learned this with american knock-offs).
I didn't include it in the ultimate budget kit since its such a niche attack, but if I were to give it a grade I'd probably put it at D since its really never used outside rare extreme cases
Definitely staged how you describe. It would probably be as follows: Rake and tensioner, traveler hook, and jim tool in my pocket Compressed air, air wedge, double door tool, under door tool in a messenger bag I carry around on the job. Everything else gets kept in the car until I need it
@@AalbertTorsius It is, some tools are necessary to have on hand, such as the jim tool, but they may not see any use. Despite the fact that they may not see any use, they could still be mission critical in the instances where they are used.

Just because no one is talking about covert entry tools right now doesn't mean it's not worth covering. Please keep exploring this topic!
Great video. Thanks for sharing and from everything I've used and know I agree with everything you said.
Thank you!

I had no idea! Thank you for that tip

Sweet
Roll of 35mm film for over the door attacks?
I didn't include it in the ultimate budget kit since its such a niche attack, but if I were to give it a grade I'd probably put it at D since its really never used outside rare extreme cases
Can you make a video on the warded lock picks? Great video btw
I’ll add that to the list! Thank you!
+1!
What’s your go to travelers hook?
Most likely the standard red handle, I did shave mine down on a grinder to thin up the sides just a bit so I could sneak it into tighter fitting doors
What about the Flipper Zero?
What are some attacks for round door knobs vs. lever?
I have an entire under door tool series in which I show you how to attack both :)
So which tiers go with you on the job? Or is it more a case of in your pockets / in your bag / in your car / back in the hotelroom?
Definitely staged how you describe. It would probably be as follows:
Rake and tensioner, traveler hook, and jim tool in my pocket
Compressed air, air wedge, double door tool, under door tool in a messenger bag I carry around on the job.

@@amihirata that's mixing tiers, though. Interesting.

How about a white background net time? It would make it easier to see the tools you moved.
Yeah I should have added backgrounds to the items, my bad 🤦♂️
I would add the BB 100
Smart lock bypass 🔧 tool
very casually, another normal distribution
"dead" trend... trust me people still do this stuff now so its only a mostly dead trend not a completely dead one.
I made it 55 seconds in before I had to stop it in total disagreement.
Worst background color choice ever!
Agreed!
