This is the lock picking lawyer, and what I have for you today is a V a veil.

To-infinitive

I actually received quite a few e mails and comments asking me to review this recently, probably because it's on Amazon right now, together with this four foot cable for about $27 which is definitely on the low end of the spectrum.

So let's take a closer look at what we get for the money.

The Amazon listing says this has a 15 millimetre thick shackle, which is only true if you count Lee rubber coating on the outside, which most companies do not.

If you don't measure the plastic, we have about 12.8 millimeters of metal or just a shade over half an inch.

That's on the low end of what I'd consider using in a low security environment.

Looking to the lost body down the shackle hole, we can see the steel pipe.

It looks like it's right about 2.5 millimetres, maybe 1/10 of an inch thick, which is definitely a little on the thin side, and we can also see that the locking mechanism is supported by black plastic, and I never like to see plastic on the inside of a lock.

As for the core itself, it appears to be the normal slider sidebar design that we see in many Chinese made by clocks.

It has eight sliders divided into two banks of four, each bank controlling a separate sidebar.

So let's see what it takes to pick this open.

Going to use this nice, thick tension wrench and to move the sliders.

What I'm going to do is use this standard hook in 18 thousands inserted sideways and twist toe lift, each of the sliders starting on the left bank.

We just got a fair bit of movement on that core.

We may have just set the left side going to the right side.

Nothing on three four is binding very tightly.

Gotta click there, and we just open this up, okay?

I generally don't think these locks are very hard to pick, but they usually take a little bit longer than this one.

I guess this one is on the bottom end of the bell curve.

In any case, that's all I have for you today.
