Guessing most "novices" don't opt for a lishi if trying to quickly bypass a lock. Most novices with an angle grinder or bolt cutters could've opened this twice in the amount of time LPL did picking it.
Yeah, a 1-minute pick from one of the best pickers in the world, *with* a specialized tool, is the mark of a *good* lock. Not amazing, but certainly worth using.
The 83 series is more about rekeying capability and compatibility with door locks and other industry standard cylinders, not more exotic high-security cores. But the cores they make for them are much nicer than normal door locks or generic KiK cylinders (which they can also accept for using keyways Abus doesn't make. Oh and they have SFIC versions of several models too)
Looked demanding. No easy entry with that tool. It will not be easier with a traditional pick and turner. Especially not in the wild where can not chose the position. I would say this is more than enough pick-resistance for a real application. If someone realy want to pass, they will cut it.
@@Leslaron Which *can* be enough - assuming your picker isn't persistent and won't look for easier targets, or your security apparatus limits the amount of time a picker has before they're discovered and apprehended. This lock lasted a solid minute against an extremely-skilled lockpicker using exactly the correct tool for this lock under ideal conditions and no pressure - that's actually pretty damn good pick resistance.
@@LeslaronWe had the police over at our house to see how secure it is and what we could improve. They said the same thing: If they want to get in, they find a way. The more you delay them, the higher their risk to be detected. Most let go after little time already.
Doesn matter if its a total beginner, aslong they seen this video and bought one of hes tools. He litterly sells and shows the means to do it fast and easy :P Not that i blame him. Others do the same , and before he did. But locks would be atleast safer if NONE sold tools like that for any to buy on the internet easily. But yes thief would still just make there own tools.
It‘s not sufficient to have that tool. It makes picking easier but it doesn’t turn a novice into an expert. A novice wouldn’t feel that pin dropping, especially if not at home in a quiet setting, get frustrated and give up.
@@UltraSuperDuperFreak That is not exactly true, you would first need to actually learn how the tools and locks work. You would also need to be able to do it quickly and discretely because obviously anyone trying to pick a lock is suspicious. Not to mention that you would be in an environment that is likely busy so noise+distractions will make picking in the first place difficult. Unless the lock is Master lock in which case just punch it open ngl.
@@UltraSuperDuperFreak and the drug war would also end if drugs were illegal and nobody sold them anymore 🙄 the real world works differently than a Utopia
I doubt you find any recent Abus locks that would fall to a wave rake. They are not incompetent. Some of their stuff is for low security applications to be slightly cheaper, but in general they know how to make locks.
I love all the humble brags. "With loads of experience and this special tool I invented for this same kind of lock it wasn't all that difficult to pick." You're an expert, and a salesman (who does sell good products, to be fair.)
That lock deserved a proper picking. Those Lishi tools make it much easier. That said, the lock put up a good fight. Had to play whack-a-mole with 4 and 5.
Yeah, I'm always a little bit disappointed when the Lishis come out. I mean, I know it still takes a lot of skill, I know I couldn't pick it even with a Lishi tool, but I just enjoy videos more when he gets in there with a pick, you know?
@@timothyquinn4919 agreed, I just think this particular lock needed a old school single pin pick for the anniversary model. Abus makes some fun locks. Who doesn't love a 72/40?
I tend to use ABUS locks quite frequently as they have some models that currently are the cheapest ones that's certified by the insurance company I use. And that is enough security for the shed I've filled up with the more dissapoining tools that doesn't deserve a place in the garage
Abus makes quality padlocks, easy to work on and I love the convenient pinning window (be careful not to drop pinning window rotation limiter into bible pin chambers = serious core seizure)
Thx to your videos a saved a lot of money after loosing bunch of my keys. Just purchased some cheap sets from China and opened locks with little to no effort. Was shocked how easy it was actually.
You sound like you value saving money - cheap locks are usually trivially easy to pick. Get something high quality and things change, a lot. Modern Abloy and you won't be opening it with picks.
Subtly putting Master Lock to shame at the end was a funny move, and LPL didn't even have to pick it open. We just collectively know that the brand's products are inferior 😂 the only thing missing was a "dunce" hat on it.
Happy Birthday ABUS! Majority of my locks are mostly ABUS locks now because of how much they have tested their worth over the years! I of course still have a Master here and there and some Brinks stuff. But for the things I care about the most, it's got an ABUS.
Je crois bien que le fait que ma langue maternelle soit l'espagnol m'aide énormément à identifier ces mots avec une certaine aise. Mais, comme c'est le cas pour toutes vos vidéos, je ne me le perds jamais ! Elles sont toutes excellentes et un plaisir de les regarder.
Beautiful. First lock I bought was a silver Abus with "mushroom pins" for locker number 11 at college. One classmate was a big dude from Brixton and he opened it in 10 seconds with a coke can.
When LPL said, "Let's see what it takes to get this open," and didn't produce a wave rake or a small strip of plastic, I knew this would be a decent lock.
@@szurketaltos2693 quick thought was something like a chain that you attach a lock to each link, idk exactly how you would secure it but that was my first thought
I remember watching one of the first “lock pick” videos on RUclips on a channel that was a “professional locksmith” that insisted that padlocks could not be picked but only covertly opened via shims around the shackle or by destructive means ie hammers or bolt cutters.
This is seriously one of the longest picks in the thousands of picks picked here. And he even used his super specialized tool in ideal conditions, which most people don’t have.
The beauty of that padlocks is simple change the cylinder to high security and you just upgrade it he quality, of course that does stop a cut off blade, the pick that anyone can use.
Master Lock says on the package: "WIN up to 5,000 USD for a digital Shopping spree!" They did not write: "...not in cash because we could offer you nothing to protect it with."
My only experience with ABUS was a bike disc brake lock. It worked just fine. Unfortunately, it also opened just fine at a moderate hit on the body of the lock.

Although celebrating Abus by calling them "better than Masterlock" does feel a bit like damning with faint praise.
Started the pick at 0:53 and ended at 1:53. Surviving a minute against LPL and his specialist tools is very competent work.
The tool isn't uncommon at all, it's just the easiest way to decide a lock for making a new key.

It's a Masterlock. All LPL has to do is angrily stare at it and it will unlock.
It was rated by Master Lock at security level 9, which means he'll probably need the comb pick rather than the wave rake.
I'm hundred percent sure it was a fluke!
Seconded, motion passes, do it again LPL

LPL wishing a lock company a, 'happy birthday' is an unequivocal endorsement.
Taking a full minute with a Lishi tool to open their lock and declaring it not a novice lock is one of the best endorsements on this channel, too.
LPL's average: 30 seconds. This one: 60 seconds! If that's not a ringing endorsement, I don't know what is!
60 seconds _with a specialized tool._ That's a damn good lock.
Incredible History
Adorable little collectible
Decent lesson
Happy birthday abus. It's a beautiful lock. I don't want to touch it I just want to look at it🌝
Definitely a good sign when he brings something special out to pick with and a while minute? Impressive!
LPL bringing out the Lishi is the highest compliment for a lock like that. Abus should be proud.
Any lock he doesn't pick twice to prove it wasn't a fluke is good enough for most of us.
That Master Lock roast at the end was brutal and well deserved.

In the end you can either use this one Abus lock or 100 Master Lock's. Depends on you and your comfort zone. Quality vs. Quantity. 😂
