You'd think that after all these years of getting hammered by the locksport community, they would have come up with something not quite so easy to decode. Thanks for the video Al!
Ya it's mind boggling to me. Because they already have the base. They make some very nice strong locks. But they refuse to do anything about the old flaws. I honestly thought this one being a pro series was going to be tough. Heck, it's hard not to feel those grooves, their like holes.
I figured senty safe would of fixed the issue with those but they are still very easy to open. Just need a rubber mallet and hit the up left corner diagonally while turning at the same time
Thank you. Yes, Their super thin and if your scared to use them you will not learn much. I wonder if someone could make one with replaceable blades. Then we can buy one handle with multiple blades and buy replacements as needed. I will apply for a patent right away 🤣😂🤣
This is how they roll. Big strong locks advertised as bullet proof with some of the oldest exploits known to man. All I/we can do is try educate people and hope they listen
Funny ya say this, because I want to buy one, but they are spendy. Or to me. I would rather pay for a better brand off eBay used😜. Ofcource am after locks to pick😂. Always great content. 👏👏👏😎🔥
@@AlbertLebel man this video really bummed me out! I have looked at that lock on shelf at store a few times. Have heard pro series was great( compared to others before). Though I won’t let it stop me from getting atleast one their shrouded pads. Think it’s cheapest shrouded shackled lock on market. That and the abus Rock. I think….😂. I will end up getting one one day. Been eye shopping on eBay. Probably getting a gutted (coreless) one. Then adding something a tad better if possible. Fuck odd love to see an assa or even a medico core in one😳🤤🤤🤤🤤
Thank you for the great information, I got a new 175 that is like this and my m176 has the flat spots which is actually a gear that turns on the axil and will move out from the dials when resetting the combo
Oh yes, I featured the ML 175 on video 358 and the ML 176 on video 416. Honestly I was thinking being a pro series it was going to be tougher to decode. Turns out it's the easiest. The tool literally just falls in the slot. It's hard not to feel it
@@StevesLockPicking That would surprise me if it wasn't a ML. Their the only ones that see all the free feedback or constructive criticism and choose to do nothing to improve on older models. It's mind blowing.
Appreciate your video as I own two of these locks. I suppose most won’t know how to pick these but … this was too easy and even for me (not a locksmith). Question: what could you recommend for a padlock that has a very strong body, shackle and either quite pick proof or even more convenient, has a very difficult tamperproof resettable numeric code system similar to this Master Lock model.
Thanks for checking it out. I’m not a locksmith either so we’re even. That’s a tough question. I highly recommend Abus locks but I can’t remember if they have a resettable combination lock like this off the top of my head. But look at their website. Personally I would avoid Master Lock products unless absolutely necessary.
My brother-in-law gave me his lock. But he can't remember the combination to get it open. I don't have one of those tools to reset it is there another way?
Awesome video, thank you x10. This video, the right tool and 20min of practice, boom lock with unknown code FINALLY open. Don't drink while securing your shit kids LOL
Awesome !!, happy to help. I appreciate the feedback. I actually been slacking lately on uploading new content due to several life changes but comments like this make me want to keep going. You rock !!!
I guess we've all said it a hundred times, and Master never listens. Thanks for the demo
Ya I honestly thought this being a pro series it was going to be a bit more tricky. The tool literally just falls in. It's hard not to find it

Using a hockey puck magnet works the same.
Brilliant, worked like a charm. I made my own tool out of an aliminium can.
Nicely demonstrated big Al! Spot on mentioning having multiple knives for decoding 👍😎👍

@@AlbertLebel count me in as your backer! 😂👍
Great discussion and demonstration, thanks for sharing this Al!
Thanks for checkin it out Chirael. I honestly thought being a pro series it was going to be better
Great decoding! ... and very well explained. Yea those master locks are strong shackles, but shame about them being able to be decoded easily.
This is how they roll. Big strong locks advertised as bullet proof with some of the oldest exploits known to man. All I/we can do is try educate people and hope they listen
Such a nice heavy duty padlock that is next to worthless with that exploit.
Thanks for the video🙏👍🦊
You hit the nail on the head, many of their padlocks are nice and tough but they keep forgetting the important bits
I like decoding these by pulling on the shackle and testing each wheel for movement.
What is a good brand of high security lock to chain up my trailer would like it to be a combination type also
I was able to see the holes you talked about through the little gap by the wheel, no tool needed!
Ya some locks have a wide enough gap but some will be too tight for a visual decoding.
Thanks for staying on the lookout, cool tunes
Right on, thanks John

Thanks. Ya that’s why I was surprised it was so easy to decode. Being a pro series and priced so high, I expected more resistance.

@@AlbertLebel for me the newer m176 was easier then the older brass 176 that I have

Thanks for sharing this 👌 sad that it is so easy on such a pricey lock 😔
Cheers 🍻
Yes, I honestly thought being a pro series it was going to be harder to decode.
Is there any lock 🔐 that is reliable to use on a gym Locker?

Well damn. Which Master Lock Pro Series w/ setting a combo do you think js good? :(
Check out Abus
They make some great padlocks like the Abus Granite but if you need to have a resettable combo they have that type also.
Even worse are the companies making the same or similar locks with the exact same flaws. Take care my friend.
Ya if your going to make a clone, why not clone something awesome

Anyone have the link for this tool?
Thank you for the great video!
Thanks for checkin it out
Thanks Míster Albert.
Good job, Al 👍
Thanks Joel
I know the code but it wont open..any ideas
Same issue
They must of fixed it already because I have tried. Not with the tool in the video tho but very similar.
@@kerryhinsen7449 I would love to try that one. I doubt it has been made differently but maybe. 🤔
Thanks for a great video
Well thank you inspector 🙏
Perfect!
@@alexandrade7579 Thank you. Happy to help.
Lol your random combination IS my combination hahahhaa
I knew that. That’s how good I am. 🤓
Just kidding 😂🤣😂
Crazy coincidence tho.
I’m cool! And I subscribe.
I know that right
Locks so mid it’s funny
