I ordered a few Lishi tools that I've wanted for a while, including the AM5.

Hey, LPL, what is your favorate way to pick? Not just the easist way, but one you actully enjoy doing?

The LPL seal of approval is an instant 500% increase in stock value
I do wonder just how much the stock price is affected by him
@@lukemeck I've already made 10,000,000 doge coin off toledo
@@The_Totes_Adorbshow ? you buy stock with dogecoins ?
Unfortunately unlikely. The actual quality of a lock doesn't seem to have much effect on sales.
@digitig gonna say I think you are wrong. When Project farm does reviews on stuff, darn near every time the top proformer ends up with a price hike in a very short time. More expensive price and lots of sales likely leads to better business overall
No major blunders and far better than most. Give the guys at Toledo a raise!
It sounds good at first, but then consider that "most" in this context is absolute trash. 🤔
@@positivelynegative9149 it took him more then 10 seconds to open, I'd consider that a win
@positivelynegative9149 a big part of theft prevention is being more secure than your neighbours

High praise from LPL
Never heard of Toledo, but there will probably be a big party at the Toledo HQ today.
I believe he's shown this brand before
If they’re American company, there was prolly gonna be a big party today anyway lol. But I bet this will make it better
The LPL is a true professional, he managed to burn Masterlock (again), complement Toledo and make it all into a 4 minute advertisement for his own company 😂
@@DJJ81 Toledo was founded in Puerto Rico in 2003. They make locks, door knobs and hinges.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Fairly Competent? No major blunders? LPL is actually giving praise to a lock?! I'm sure the marketing department at Toledo is sharing this video out to all of their major customers. Let's hope their lock maker gets a raise!
"No major blunders" - As seen on LPL (new package art)
Unfortunately, without the context of what is said about most locks here, it would not sound complimentary. Especially contrasted against the blatant falsehoods many lock companies advertise.
@@mekaerwin7187This is a solid point missed by many fans of this channel. We have context, most do not. If I didn't know LPL and he hadn't given the Master Lock context, my response likely would have been less charitable.
No they won't. Their CEO and other executives however will give themselves fat bonuses though.
I am sure tomorrow when they get back to the office tomorrow they will be passing out cigars, bourbon and high fiving !!! This is huge. I have been watching for several years and I think this is the first lock I can remember he gave a thumbs up all the way around!!!!
"A fairly competent product." "No major blunders." "Far better than most." **EXTREMELY** high praise from LPL!
Yes... and it's not a $45 cylinder. It's a $45 cylinder and puck lock. That's pretty damn good.
Love that he started with removing Masterlock's hidden shackle lock using the comb and then picked the Toledo's version on Masterlock's mounting plate.
"Don't worry. If you already bought a Master Lock lock-and-hasp set you can just get a Toledo and drop that in"....
Looks like a standard puck lock hasp set typically used for van doors and sheds, this one just happened to be made by masterlock
Master Lock can apparently be trusted with bending and punching sheet metal
a minute to get in with the specialized decoder tool? That's an endorsement.
A minute with a specialized tool wielded by an expert. That is a great endorsement!
If it takes him a minute, it’s impossible for most.
@madtabby66 and given its installed in a way that makes destructive methods take longer (and will require loud tool) it'll make it easier to punch a hole in the wall next to the lock than it would to defeat the lock
LPL: Far better than most
Toledo: A blessing! A blessing from the Lord!
God be praised!
*raises butt trumpets*
@@ferretyluv HAHAHAHA you know your classics
It's nice to see something worth buying on here. Seems like a decent deterrent for a reasonable price. It would be great to see a list of products like this where consumers can be sure they're getting something that's worth the money.
Really appreciate the brevity of your videos. Some Y/Ters turn a 4 minute video into a 10-12 minute drone. The LPL information/time ratio make his video near priceless. Really good stuff that has turned me into a lock picking hobbiest. Thanks.
Agreed... the 4 minutes of content you went for... buried 1/4th in each quarter of the video... with lots of thanks to those who gave them money... and so many tangents they forget the topic...
I love that his "sponsor" is his own company and he just weaves it in with the video and it's only a couple seconds and is totally related. I can't lie I bought a genesis set just to support the videos.
@@bicentennialbuck If you feel the need to buy something else, the tradecraft case surely has non-lockpicking uses. I can say that the hinge pin removal tool is certainly useful. Maybe get the first responder version and keep it in your car or donate it to your local fire station.
Would love to see more locks that LPL can actually praise.
It's going to be a short list.
@@fredbugden6935 that’s fine. Maybe even a video list on the channel.
Medeco, mul-t-lok, abloy, best, etc.
They are expensive.
So would LPL....
@@FusionDeveloperI'm alright with paying more if I'm getting something for the money.
Their sales are going to skyrocket and they'll have no idea why.
Happy 4th to everyone in the US. Stay safe and don't blow yourselves up.
I'd wager they're sub-ed to this channel just like every other lock manufacturer.
@hydewhyte4364 except master lock apparently, or if they are subbed they do a poor job showing it
They probably aren't subbed as a company but individual employees who job is to monitor media in the locksmith industry
Oh, don't worry. Someone on Twitter will tag them with this video. They'll know. The MAKO lock guys were VERY quick to respond in the YT comment section when they got a good mark a few years ago. I bought their American 1100 clone for my own collection, and LPL was right: Their serrated pins are absolutely nasty. They are so sharply defined that every click feels exactly like a set. Really fun lock to pick.
@@courtykatThose pathetic morons don't realize that commenting does far more for the content creator than just not saying anything.
Toledo's had 2 locks (relatively) highly rated within a month! Good on those guys.
Given the price range that IS high praise.
It's videos like this that make me go to my local hardware store and walk down the lock aisle. When I come to the Master lock section, I stop and have a good laugh. Then, I go away with a smile on my face, and many bewildered looks.
😂😂😂😂
What's even more interesting is that if you look at the Master lock keys, there are typically only about 20 actual patterns they use. So often you will find 2 or 3 of the same lock in different packages.
@@plektosgaming similar to car keys 😂
@@romeogerolaga7505 Yeah lol
My 90s Honda key would start the 90s honda of a friend. Something about the way the ignition lock wore over time allowed it to work. They keys wouldn't work in the door so that's why I suspect wear in the ignition lock to be the culprit. I've run into others online who have had the same experience so it's probably relatively wide spread.
Not that it really mattered as I could get into my car with a butter knife as fast as I could use a key..
Toledo was founded in Puerto Rico in 2003. They make locks, door knobs and hinges. Glad to see something made in the colony.
Oh, I thought of the city in Spain that made really good swords and other blades .
@@johndododoe1411
And I've never seen anything but Toledo™ scales. The one that I used had a relatively narrow range of zero to twelve hundred and fifty pounds, but was trusted to a thousand five hundred pounds with a ten pound resolution. Not 2 bad. We tested against fifty pounds weights twice per shift.
@@StanErvin-yo9vl Was this for weighing elephants? Because Toledo blades were famous before Columbus .
Puerto Rico also has a thriving pharmaceutical industry...
Many drugs are made there.
@@andy4an whats drugs?
Holy Toledo! That's as close to a must buy as mere mortal companies can get. Congratulations!
Came for the Toledo, stayed for the Master Lock burn.
High praise for the Toledo lock.
"Far better than most" - Toledo has mastered holding the flashlight for dad.
Sometimes, just being competent and solid at your job is all you need.
I tell my kids the same thing: you can get pretty far in life just by being competent and dependable.
I think the "fast to pick" isn't even fault of Toledo. It's just that Lishi (hope I spelt it right) is simply too powerful. It mimics a key and takes out the "steady hand" requirement during the pick. I really doubt a novice picker can steady both their pick and the turning device at the same time with this puck lock.
I'm not sure what else Toledo could have done other than going with a completely different kind of key that took an even more specialized tool.
@@russellhltn1396This might be a case where a disc detainer would shine. There might not be enough room for TTBBaIM.
I sometimes can't get locks even with a Lishi tool. The skill required of the attacker can't be discounted.
It is why I consider them to be a case of LPL cheating :)
@@kspn78 Is having mad skills really cheating?
He heaped so many compliments onto that lock, it's no wonder the guys at Toledo don't think it was a fluke.
They know it's not a fluke because Flukes are yellow.
So.... after watching most of your videos for about two years, today I picked my very first lock. Using just a pick and a pair of tweezers. I.m so proud of myself! (BTW, it was just a tool box at work who a jackass of a co-worker keeps locking up to mess with me. It.s a tool box for all technicians to use, not a private property or something). :)
The fact that he pulled out his special instrument tool this lock is more than exceptional.
Toledo is great because it was a product made by family, for family, and nothing is stronger than family. 😎
As the Master puck celebrates its independence from its hasp, and your confidence 😂
I love how the Master Lock was effortlessly combed open but the Toledo required some actual work and specialized tools. Not exactly Bosnian Bill levels of specialty, but... XD
"Not a high security product by my standards but better than most".
Praised, with faint damnation!
Truly a quality lock for it's price range.
I wish I knew earlier! I ordered $330 just last week from C.I. Nevertheless, GREAT products; I have several cheap chinese picks and they all bend without too much force, but the CI ones are like steel but mega thin!
They should write his words on the Box: "It's a fairly competent product", thats the best thing about a lock i have heard him say for months
A 4 minute LPL and a “fairly competent” lock.
That’s gotta be the best lock I’ve seen in a while.
Good to see a lock manufacturer that actually cares, and tries, to make good products!
And that markets products honestly.
Toledo knows their stuff (mostly), this is the 2nd Toledo lock to receive his praise
The last Toledo lock from 2 weeks back was also pretty good from LPL. High praise indeed.
This hidden shackle design gives me an idea. It would be harder to pick if you lock body made you occupy your other hand. For example, if the housing was springloaded and turned to cover the keyhole. You would need to use one hand to turn the body ti reveal the keyway and hold it open, making it significantly harder to pick, which most lockpicking I see done with two hands (since this one cant be combed).
Not flawless by any means, just an idea to make it harder, I wonder if Shane from StuffMadeHere could make it on his next one lol
Not only spring loaded but make it part of the locking mechanism. Require it being turned to full torque to move a locking pin out of the way so that merely moving the body just enough to get picks or a lishi in won't cut it.
The problem with designs like that are longevity. The owner of the lock will be locked out once the mechanism binds due to weather, denting, dirt and grime inside, etc...
Fine for a novelty lock or a challenge lock, but not mass production.
Toledo is probably closed today, but there’s going to be a huge party tomorrow
And a happy "Yay, we're no longer responsible for America" day from those of us in the UK.
They grow up so fast
When your parent is a bigger mess than you are.
@@adcon00 Honestly both parent and child are in a mess at the moment but still.
The Brits have all the right reasons to celebrate the Thanksgiving Day too, being very grateful the Puritans found land and thus were not returning.
Thanks Dad.
Once again I'm left with an appreciation for LPL's skill set.. and this time, a lock actually wroth having in its price range. Thanks for the efforts and the education! Always a treat with you 😁👍
I love how you don’t stretch out videos, you make them simple short and most importantly, a good watch
I would love to see a video of the locks he believes are the best in each category (bike lock, pad lock, door lock, gun safe, gun lock, etcetera.)
Better than most is high praise from LPL
So is being considered competent.
"better than most" is high praise from anyone tbf
that's not even restrained wording, it's just another way of saying "one of the best"
"No challenge for me, but adequate for use by you mere mortals."
- LPL
Happy 4th Fellow American!! 🎆
"far better than most" coming from you is epic praise indeed!
not only has this been giving the "far better than most" seal of approval from LPL, note that the only way he showed off to pick this Toledo lock was with a leashy tool! Toledo truly is one of the lock companies of all time
Holy Toledo! Happy independence to everyone around their board table.
CEO from Toledo:
Champain for everybody, LPL made our day.
Regards from Belgium
Finally, a brand we can get behind. Thanks LPL and Toledo!
Happy 4th!!!
Toledo having a huge party now 😂 😂 😂
"Better than most" is extremely high praise.
Not bad. Better than most. Fairly competent product. No major blunders. Let's face it folks, this lock is basically the Godfather of locks. I just bought a thousand of them for no reason whatsoever.
One of the few that's better than nothing, you don't see that every day
I took advantage of the sale I picked up the Genesis said, and then a set of comb ricks, but I wish I would’ve got a jiggler. The single-sided jiggler seems like the most useful tool that I don’t own.
Added to the "Approved by the LPL" Playlist.
“A fairly competent product”. A glowing review from LPL. They’ll be sold out quick!
I love to see LPL blow through a lock in like a minute and then compliment it. It's honestly wholesome, but it doesn't give me a lot of confidence for the state of most commercially available locks.
43 minutes after posting and already 14k views and over 2k likes. Most RUclipsrs dream of such numbers from such simple videos.
Happy Independence Day everyone. Great lock you got the seal of approval enjoy the sales.
I have visions of the Toledo company board room erupting in cheers when they heard you say "it is far better than most"! High fives and the clinking of drinks was the scene there, no doubt.
I think this is another case where the biggest security flaw is the branding on the front. If this had a more discrete appearance it would make it even better
Master lock always gets bullets
High praise from LPL! Happy Independence Day everyone! It’s a great day to re-read the Declaration of Independence!
No lock is going to keep out a skilled person with the right tools. Nor will it stop a determined person that does not mind getting destructive and loud. Really the main point is deterrent and not making it too easy for a casual attack to succeed. its amazing how many fail that low bar to match.
As others are mentioning the meme: "didnt fuck up" is a seal of approval given that 'lock' should 'lock' things.
Thanks for the sale! Been wanting to pick up a handful of lishi picks and today was the day!
“Not bad” is one of the highest praise from LPL.
Best 4-1/2" grinder salesman in the business!
This video finally helped me understand what he means by counter-rotation and how the shape of spooled pins affect picking.
That is the most kindness I have seen LPL give a lock company in a very long time! I'm impressed
I hadn't thought of that, but it's a good point! Very workable at awkward angles!
Add another $5 and get a puck lock from Pac Lock off that A-Z site, I bought 4 of their trailer coupler locks and used them on my rifle case (also tossed in an airtag) to go flying with last year. The ticket agents, TSA agents, students and the class instructor asked me where I got them and why no one else had thought of it. On my Pelican case there was ZERO slop/room between the lock and the hasps. Yes it's an investment at $60/lock but it's WORTH it to keep your items out of the hands of others!!
Not vulnerable to bump and comb picking is magnificent.
I needed that heartfelt 'Have a nice day' today 🙂
You know Toledo gave their employees a huge bonus for getting them high praise from the LPL.
Holy Toledo that's a good lock!
Any lock that needs a special tool that isn't vulnerable to a hammer is a win.
The Covert Instruments sale is awesome. Finally picked up the KW1 and SC1 Lishi tools I've had my eye on. Thanks!
Shoot, 2 Toledo Locks and both got high praise from LPL. We know where to get our locks boys!
Champagne corks popping at Toledo like 4th of July firecrackers!
Happy Independence Day everyone! Stay Safe!!!
That's one of the highest praises I've heard you give!!
In the words of P.T. Barnum " Always Leave Them Wanting More"
Happy 4th of July!!!!
Thank you for sharing your art.
When “Fairly competent” is a compliment… 😂😂😂
Good job to Toledo, yes, but I had to giggle at the brief flex on MasterLock.
Happy Independence Day. I hope your sale goes well.
"Better than most" Very high praise coming from the Lock Picking Lawyer. Goes in line with Gamer Nexus's "Better than Dell" awards.
bought my covert companion and expansion during the sale. yay!
It's great that you said "Independence day" rather than "fourth of July" And that's a helluva thumbnail...Not Bad. WOAH!
Covert instruments should develop their own brand of locks.
Master lock would have a team on it instantly figuring out how to pick them and posting videos as revenge :)
... and specialized tools to pick them.
Having your lock unpickable would really suck when you accidentally lock yourself out
@@zeroblade6599destructive methids exist as well.
That's obviously his plan.
Toldeo: "Business is booming"
Took advantage of the sale and ordered my first ever pick set. Hopefully Aussie customs don’t flag me for it 😂
Happy Holiday.....Your videos are so effing enjoyable.....
"...fairly competent..." - high praise from LPL.
"Today, we are looking at this Toledo lock. But before we begin, let's recap the quality of this Master lock. They always deserve the love..."
Brings a Master Lock into the video just to humiliate it before getting to the actual video. Amazing!
Praise indeed from Mr LPL, Masterlock take note.
Well done Toledo!!!
