Lock picking lawyer.
Used to be a channel about how locks works, how lock picking works, cool locks and shitty locks.
Now it's just a channel to sell his tools.
I stopped watching when he started covert instruments and immediately realized what every single future video would be like. I was right...
Can't believe he wants to profit from his hobby. What a piece of shit.
Can't believe I don't want to watch advertisements all day
Man picks lock with skill and tools, not allowed to mention he also sells tools? Shit that would knock out so many YouTubers... LawrenceSystems, NetworkChuck, Level1Techs, pretty much anyone who does electronics or home automation...
Feels like it's mostly because there's not much to talk about anyway, whatever needed to be said has already been said in one of his 1.5k video. I start follow his channel before he established his company, it's mostly the same and it's really just about how he defeat the lock. He sometimes still talk about unique lock he find interesting though.
Yeah, those unique locks are the highlights I remain subscribed for. He used to dismantle locks more often, but at this point it'd just be more of the same if he kept doing that.
Might be a good idea for him to change up his format a bit to make fewer videos but have them be more of a deep dive into whatever locks he's focusing on, maybe do more of the old "now let's see if we can open this with the leg of a Barbie™ doll and half of an M67 fragmentation grenade" stunt videos. I remember he used to get more experimental with his approaches when there was back-and-forth with Bosnian Bill.
Eh, I would have to disagree with this, I have been watching him for a while and as far as I can tell the quality is the same the only difference now days is that he mentions his tools in the videos while picking the locks, so the videos didn't even really get longer.
Agreed. Before it would be "so I made this tool by filing down this other thing, you can probably make one yourself" to "I used this tool that you can get in my shop, and here's how to pick it with a few standard tools as well..."
He’s very much not liked in the lock picking community.
Not only does he push his overpriced tools a lot, most of them are very much not needed. He also puts a lot of focus on specialized car lock picking tools which are expensive at, made for each brand basically, and in a very dubious grey area which is a big no no in that “sport”.
From a purist side there are also a lot of complaints.
