I just ordered my own disc detainer pick from Sparrows and was trying to find replacement tips in case one broke, and was surprised to see they didn’t sell any. This video is perfect and I’m definitely going to make a few to use while I practice picking with it.
Thanks for checking it out, glad to hear it helped. Its a great feeling when you get a lock open with something you made. I have links in the description to the exact ones I use, if you are having trouble finding them. Best of luck in your disc detaner journey. Take care 👍
Thanks brother, Im just now see all the possibilities with them, they are great to have, Id like to start collecting a few different size of them to. Appreciate you taking a look, have a good one 👍
Thanks for checking it out, sorry I didn't have exact dimensions, not very good with that. Hope it helps someone, gives a rough idea at least. Would like to see yours, are you going to post video?
@@RookKnight Mine is not as well finished as yours. I will probably include it in the next video I make. Don’t have much free time with helping the grandkids with virtual home schooling.
I know what thats like, Im a full-time single parent, and virtual school is a whole new world lol I wish you luck my friend👍👍and I'll keep an eye out for your next video 👋🔓
Thats exactly what got the ball rolling for me, I had my Sparrow tip for a day or so, all the handle did was slide down, and a piece chipped off, I was heartbroken, so I started looking into making them myself, after I figured someone else might have the same problem, so I thought this out there. Thanks for checking it out, and for leaving an awesome comment. Take care 👍
I enjoy watching Mr. & Mrs. Deadlocks. I really appreciate you subbing, and knowing that you liked the video is awesome. Hope you have a great weekend 👋🔓
I was googling disc tool tips and this was one of the first links that popped up... You're famous!!!!.... Among people who pick disc detainer locks.... And who make their own tools... and who share it online.. ... Yeah about twenty of us worldwide. . Still famous tho
Thanks my friend, I kinda went in reverse but my video before this one, I used my tip, but hopefully will have a few more locks to test on screen soon. Anyway really appreciate you taking a look, hope you have a great week ✌
Thank you my friend, hopefully it will help someone When I broke my tip from sparrows, I was so upset Now Im set with the ones I made, and I think they are strong too. Hope you and the Misses are all safe and well, take care brother
@@RookKnight I’m sure you could probably harden it with a torch. I was just thinking that it would save a lot of grinding getting it to the correct hight since it’s basically already there.
It sounds like a really cool idea. It can't hurt to give it a go. The hard part might be finding a nail with the proper length and shank size. If you do end up giving it a go, post a photo, and tag me. I would like to see how it came out. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks man, probably not the best video, but it will give someone a jumping off point. I will say, I started using a dremel cutting wheel, to cut the extra off before going to the snding barrel, bit of a time saver.👍 Have a great one too bro✌️
Nice going on these :) I cut the tip to rough thickness with a hand saw and then filed the shape by hand so far, as it's quite easy and fast by hand too. I made mine from 2mm as that fits in the chinese picks. I just got the sparrows one last week, so now I should order some 1.5mm rods. Nice work Rook Knight!
Thanks, it's fun making your own, especially when you get a open with it. I don't know if it helps, but I put a link in my description, if you want to snag the 1.5mm it was from Amazon Really appreciate you taking a look, and hope you have a wonderful week my friend 🔓👍
definitely want to keep the metal cool, otherwise you change the molecular structure and the steel becomes very brittle. i appreciate the tip. i dont see myself buying one since i really havent ran across any disc detainer locks. im still working on s.p.p. but eventually i will make my way to buying one of those picks. i see next month they are supposed to have more and i was so close to buying one in the first run. thanks again for the video!!
Thanks for checking it out, this was a long time coming for me. I have wanted to get into DD locks for a long time. Definitely got to keep the metal cool, same with making picks. Metal integrity is everything. I was surprised they sold out for the second time, but November should be a 3ed run of them. Just thought I'd pass on what I have learned so far, my inbox got flooded then I posted my last video on picking DD lock, on question on how I made the tip, figure do a video and kill 2 birds with 1 stone lol Thanks again for checking it out, and comment. Have a great week my friend
Thanks brother, A bit of both, I already snapped one of the sparrow tips, just by picking it up "to fast maybe?" But also the ones I made, had less of a wiggle room inside the discs, so it was easyer to find the gates. And just for a bit of fun too lol👍
Thanks for checking it out, that was from a old knife sharpener kit, but anything that will clap would work great, even pliers in a pinch would get the job done, I will say the knife holder, I was using work well because it was made from aluminum, witch seem to wick the heat away from the pick head. Hope that helps 👍
@@Westhelockpicker I head the same thing, and this one was the second generation. But it snapped like it was brittle, The body os spot on, and now that I replaced the tip, Im happy. I even got a open with it👍👍
Thanks brother, yeah they just take a while to make, the tools I use aren't the best, so one will usually take an hour plus because Im mostly having to hand sanding them. I just need to get some time to sit to make them.
They have them on the Sparrow website, the problem is they keep selling out, but they do get them back in every few months, just have to keep checking in. There's also a bunch of amazing disc detaner picks made by other brands, or even independent custom pick makers that make great ones that would work the same.
If you have a bench grinder, by all means use it. Just make sure you dip the steel in water ever so often. If the metal changes color, it's pretty much garbage. The last thing you would want is the tip braking off inside of a lock.
When I said to dip the steel in water, that means big or small you dip it in water. I don't know if there's a language barrier, or you're just trolling, but I don't have time for this.
I just ordered a bunch of 1.5mm / 6mm / 100mm ejector pins from Amazon.uk www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01EZZFIWK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I sure wish Sparrows sold that pick with tips made this way. I've broken both tips that came with my Sparrows disc detainer pick already.
Same here brother, I was pissed when mine snapped. One of the main reasons I thought, I would throw this together hoping it would help someone else. I will say after making my own, and crusching a few locks, feels good to know I made the tip profile to get it open. Also there's a few locks I have came across that need different shapes, and being able to whip them up, is awesome, the Anchor laugh, and kryptonite locks, come to mind as some strange keyways (at least the first disc on them) I had to made a separate one for each to crack them. Thanks for commenting, take care, and be safe man👍

Beautiful craftsmanship, ordering a bunch of those now.

And feels great when uou get something picked with it.😀👍
Great tutorial for anyone wanting to make spares or specialized tips. I use those injector pins for all types stuff, they're super useful!
Thanks brother, Im just now see all the possibilities with them, they are great to have, Id like to start collecting a few different size of them to. Appreciate you taking a look, have a good one 👍
Great how to video. I made my first tip this afternoon. Need to make some of different sizes. Thanks for doing this. 👍🦊

Excellent! Your picks will easily outlast the ones that Sparrows supplies with the tool !

How did I miss this video?
Really well demonstrated with clear instructions.

Thanks for checking it out, and letting me know what you thought of it, that made my day 👍
I've got a load of these coming so your tutorial will come in very handy. Thanks for making this
Happy to hear it might help. Picking discs are so much more fun, when you make the tips yourself 👍
Have a good one ✌
Fantastic work my friend. Loads of great tips to help everyone. Great video & have a fantastic week.

Thanks brother, really appreciate you taking a look 👍
Great job explaining the process buddy 👍 finished job looks swishy as well 👍 well done sir 😎🤘
Thanks brother, I really appreciate that. Means a lot to me
Have a awesome, and safe week my friend
Would it be possible to just start with a nail with the right shank size? or do they need to be a specific hardness like the injector pins?
Good question, If you could find a nail with the right length, and shank size, it might be possible. I don't know how long it would last though.
@@RookKnight I’m sure you could probably harden it with a torch. I was just thinking that it would save a lot of grinding getting it to the correct hight since it’s basically already there.

Really appreciate that, thank you so much.
Have a excellent rest of your week my friend 👍
I have a USA and a UK link to the ejector pins, that fit sparrows pick like a glove in my description.
Hope it helps ✌
Great video mate!

Yeppers its in my description, thanks for checking it out.
Have a excellent week 🔓✌take care
Rook Knight thank you!!
Happy to help 🤗
I haven't gotten the tool yet but do they really break that easy?
Snapped mine on the first day, just by picking it up 😟
I also think they are to small, so you get to much wiggle room in between the discs IMO of course
@@RookKnight sparrows was supposed to make the tip stronger with this 2nd batch according to rumor so if that's the case they need to keep 5fñ
@@Westhelockpicker I head the same thing, and this one was the second generation.
But it snapped like it was brittle, The body os spot on, and now that I replaced the tip, Im happy.
I even got a open with it👍👍
@@RookKnight I'm happy for ya but you shouldn't of had to make your own tip! Hopefully they will correct this problem
You make great videos!!
Miss you buddy!! Hope you are doing fine 😀👍🍻👍
What is an injector/ejector pin?
That is honestly a good question, I have a link to the ones I use in the description. But besides punches, and what I use them for, I couldn't say.
I saw a sparrows pick sold for over $2000 dollars on ebay. What a rip off. I sense a scalper.
I made a I pick tips....but no tool to use it on yet.
$2000 Jesus, I should put this one up, with the added tips lmao 😂😂
That music sounds awful damned familiar!
LMAO 🤣
There's always that one critic
@@RookKnight I'll consider it a a tribute to me... That or we have similar taste in intro music
@@RookKnight I came here to talk about making a tool to compete with bill and the lawyers tool and got sidetracked lol
I think you came to the wrong place lol
but thanks for stopping by 😆
Very nicely done bro, they look great, I would love some of them. Maybe we can do a trade??
Thanks brother, yeah they just take a while to make, the tools I use aren't the best, so one will usually take an hour plus because Im mostly having to hand sanding them. I just need to get some time to sit to make them.
I like to buy one sparrows disk detainer lock picking
So hard to find online
They have them on the Sparrow website, the problem is they keep selling out, but they do get them back in every few months, just have to keep checking in. There's also a bunch of amazing disc detaner picks made by other brands, or even independent custom pick makers that make great ones that would work the same.
Bench wheel grinder works so fast. Just roll the pin between your fingers. Ten minutes...done.
If you have a bench grinder, by all means use it. Just make sure you dip the steel in water ever so often. If the metal changes color, it's pretty much garbage. The last thing you would want is the tip braking off inside of a lock.
@@RookKnight And more importantly, as the metal tip becomes small the water cooling must happen at a greater frequency.
More importantly? That's literally what I said 😕
@@RookKnight I was focusing on the word "smaller". Where did you say that?🤔
When I said to dip the steel in water, that means big or small you dip it in water. I don't know if there's a language barrier, or you're just trolling, but I don't have time for this.
Well done Rook
Definitely some great skill on your part my friend
Stay well!
Thanks MUR-LOCK , really appreciate that brother 👍
Hope you're staying well also my friend
Anyone else think the intro song is the best intro song?
don't know if your serious, but I'll take it lol 👍
Rook Knight I’m dead serious
Thanks brother, really cool of you👍
