I’d like to see you pick open a fairly difficult lock with a paper clip and a Bobby pin. That’s how it’s always done in movies.

[@RandarTheBarbarian]

I once opened a lock with a bobby pin (basically just functioned as a wave rake) and I'm sure you could bend a paper clip into a semi effective pick... granted it was not a difficult lock if a teenager could do it with a bobby pin having never tried to pick a lock before, but I'm sure LPL could do better lol

[@TheIdeasGuy]

I opened a Master lock model 140 yesterday with two bent bobby pins. I’d never picked a lock in my life before that so I was rather pleased with myself.
Just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke, I did it again. Twice.
Attempt number one took two hours, attempt number two took under a minute and the third attempt took slightly longer at a little under two minutes.

[@Tantalus010]

I've picked a couple of locks with two paper clips bent into a hook and a tensioning tool. It's definitely doable, but the softness of the average paper clip can be an issue.

[@unknownpt]

@@Tantalus010 So true! The paper clip is too soft to exert high tension on the core and to be used effectively as a hook it needs a wide keyway. They're only good for simple locks like cabinets and closet locks.

Tell her she can use the hammer when she has opened more locks then LPL

[@outseeker]

does she have a hammer though? ^_^

I love Mrs. LPL's methods of problem solving.

LPL: There’s two ways to open the box, doing the maze or moving the locking lugs.
Mrs LPL: There is another

For the record, Ely, MN is pronounced "EE-lee".

[@brianm.595]

Lol but why? I always wonder why in cases like this. The sounds the letters make as combined don't equate to your pronunciation....

[@SamWise050]

@@brianm.595 My guess is it has to do with the Finns and Slovenians that settled the area. If not them, I'm guessing some other ethnic group was involved.

[@Cemi_Mhikku]

@@SamWise050 Ely is actually mentioned by name in one of the articles I pulled up on Slovenian settlement in the US to learn myself a thing or three about another ethnic group I wasn't as familiar with. So, thanks for that!

[@OrigamiMarie]

Can confirm, that is the pronunciation used by the locals 🙂

[@marklatimer7333]

I would assume that it is named after the Cathedral city of Ely in Cambridgeshire in England, the name of the city dates back to the formation of the Abbey in 673 but the name comes from the isle of Ely on which the Abbey was built, so the name Ely is probably a lot older.
It's not an island anymore, the area was drained in the 17th Century.
The name probably comes from the abundance of Eels in the region hence an eel-ly place.
Many place names in the UK don't follow modern pronunciation trends, the places have been there so long that the English language has changed around them, I'm afraid even as a native you can get caught out sometimes.

[@KermodeBear]

I love puzzle boxes. I once had a young niece. For Christmas one year, I put all of her things inside of a dog cage and closed it with locks. I then bought several different kinds of puzzle locks; a plastic one like the one in this video, a few of those Japanese-style ones with the sliding pieces, etc., each of which held one of the keys to a lock. She had to solve all the puzzle boxes to unlock the cage to get her things - and if she didn't figure it all out by midnight, well, then her mother would get everything inside.
There was a set of lock picks in that cage along with everything else. When she finally got the cage open (it took many hours), I told her she should figure out how to use those lock picks. Might come in handy.
Because the next year I did the same thing - I put everything inside of a locked dog cage, except this time, there were no keys. (o:

[@waido_]

First off, yeah right. But if you did do that, you’re actually a piece of shit and I feel bad for your niece and any kids you might have. That is unnecessary and cruel to do to a child, on Christmas no less. Way to make an entire holiday about you, and your cheap, meaningless presents.

[@muzzan1448]

Great new bonus content at the end of this video. Would love to see more of it in future videos.

[@seanshepherd1071]

Mrs. LPL needs a channel where she solves all the locks you pick HER way

Where ... where is the link to this?

[@1slotmech]

Yeah, but he doesn't usually do that. :D

[@skreeog]

And with large caliber rifle and armor piercing bullets.

[@Formedras]

Yes, but even then it's careful placement and a controlled environment. The hammer in this case is just "LPL SMASH!"

[@mhfuzzball]

@@skreeog Last video of his where he was shooting at a lock, it took 120 rounds (60 5.56, 40 7.62 AP and 20 .50 BMG) to defeat the lock. It was a lot easier for him to just pick it.

[@zeroDOTjon]

thank you for showing us how Mrs. LPL would open the box!

[@AM-gp6kx]

Got a good laugh out of the little add-on to the usual ending. Thank you!

[@friendlyoctopus9391]

I'm surprised he rotated the box instead of dragging directly along the line with a magnet to save 2 seconds :D

[@TesserId]

Well, that would be chea... Oh wait, that's what we're here for. Yeah, he should have done that too.

[@1slotmech]

He saved the 2 mins it would take to go get his magnet pickup tool. :D

[@SuperParkourio]

Imagine him breaking the puzzle box only to find out the lens cap was on.

My grandma got myself and my two siblings a puzzle box for Christmas one year. I, the diligent one, spent the next 5 minutes opening it the proper way and got my $100. My little brother, seeing me open mine, decided to punch his and it opened right up for him. Then my older sister asked me to open hers which I did after some light teasing. One of my fondest memories of my teenage years and it just breaks my heart knowing my brother is no longer with us. Genuinely enjoyed this video
