When your starting out. 80% of those tools aren’t necessary. As you develop your skill set you’ll know what tools to buy. Tools are toys for locksmiths. You don’t need most of them to get the job done. Best of luck to you
Wow that good. I’m trying to start my business doing locksmith and I been trying to finger out what tools to have. Thanks for this video see what locksmith really care. It hard to fine in other videos. And why don’t u get bigger tool bag for you normal loose.
R M I switched to a 18v cordless (did a video on it) about 8 months ago and it’s given me nothing but grief with the chuck and auto cutting off when it binds up. Sadly I will likely switch back to yellow soon but everyone has the fav’s!
Can you give me some information on the type of clamps you use and for the steel plates, the thickness, height and width. I bought me the squeeze play tool because I don't have a main squeeze, but I do like you ideas on your installation prep.
Harbor Freight clamps just cause I "had them at the time" when I first decided to do this on installs cause a door started edge bending on me (ACK!) and I think the plates are from a old shelf or something so not super thick less than 1/8" thick and width is best off around 2" so the hole isn't covered (which really doesn't matter cause your SP should already be in position by clamp time) 6"+ on length to distribute force. I really should upgrade my clamps on day, I kinda don't like these...they are "aight" but I might upgrade to some different ones to treat myself
If I may make a suggestion if you haven't already thought of this. A small power inverter for running tools and charging batteries that hooks to your van's battery?
I've been going through some of these earlier videos of yours and I have noticed that the sound of your voice keeps changing. There is something going on with the sound. This video isn't as bad as others I have watched but I thought it was just one video but it's been on all the older ones. Just wanted you to know, cheers
attaching push/kick plates when threads stripped or when you don't want inmates removing them, latches or strikes in hollow metal doors when stripped, attaching tailpieces on locks together to repair broken or for thick doors, lots of uses for it :)
@@selock for just starting out, do you think someone should take on all these services? Or kinda just work with residential customers and auto lockouts before transitioning to something more full service to include commercial/high security stuff/cutting car keys/etc.. Like you didn't start off cutting transponder keys right away right? A quality machine is $5-7k+. Im very brand new at this, I've only been lock sporting for 2 weeks but the industry has me curious. I'd like to focus on emergency services. Bypassing/picking locks is definitely my passion though.
@@pdxlockpicker7796 I understand your passion for picking and bypassing locks, however, be careful in thinking that offering emergency lock service will be a way to make money for something you enjoy. For one there are laws, in my state you would have to get your locksmith license to offer even just emergency lockout services, you also have to consider the cost of being bonded and insured and carry enough insurance. also realize, that when you go unlock a door for someone who says they locked their keys in the car and then after you open it they are not in their, they are going to want you to be able to cut and program a key for them. lastly, realize that picking a lock in your own space for the challenge of it is more fun than picking a lock to let a frustrated home owner in. As someone who does emergency lockouts I can tell you it is nothing like trying to pick a challenging lock at home in my spare time. It can get damn right scary, which is why I have my CCP and do carry a weapon with me on every call out. I had an angry customer threaten to kill me because I couldn't legally open the car for him because he was not the registered owner. He pulled a knife out on me! Look, I am not against locksport at all, I even watch some of the locksport videos on here. But Locksporting is completely different than Locksmithing... just like football and baseball are completely different even though some aspects, like throwing and catching a ball are something they both do! If you are worried about the cost of tools needed to be a locksmith, then you will not like the cost of becoming licensed, bonded and insured!
@@brendapudvah8921 yeah, I know all this stuff now. They are completely different beasts. Opening a lock in a lab setting is nothing like opening a lock in the field, in the elements, crouched over and contorted in weird positions. The industry still has me curious. I enjoy helping people and solving unique problems. I've been reading the book to study for the license. I'm looking for apprenticeships in my area.
Wow them's a lot of tool's but i guess you cant have too many if something breaks and you forget to replace and your out somewhere mile's away times not on your side if you have a busy schedule and times money as they say.
Keep on learning dude. To casually insult a tradesperson out-of-hand, shows that you have a severe lack of real-world experience, and are full of nothing but group-think ideology you picked up on a forum somewhere. If you've never *HAD* to drill a cylinder, due to a multiple of relevant factors, don't throw shit at the face of a man who gets the job done and keeps his community securable. Also, double-check 0:09 - It's clearly not a be-all-to-end-all video, you tosser.
Im a locksmith from Australia - very nice set up - I try to keep gear categorised into job so I can just take one bag or box in with me.
Jason thanks for sharing.
Gives me a better idea of just how much I will have to spend n tools.

That moment you find a RUclips channel that's better than most of what's on TV. 🤯😃 Awesome content, as always!
I switched to Milwaukee bat powered tools. Best tool decision I've made.

HOW DO I RETUMBLE THE TUMBLERS?!
Jeff Moss You gotta pin the pins first.

It was the alien
what applications do u use the rivet gun for?

Whack Job / installation of kick plate
Nice.
That many different drill bits huh?
PDX LockPicker yep. There are other things involved with locks besides just sitting around picking them
