What have you picked today

[arielschoenberg]

Finally got the bastard.

Thank you OF for the "feeling" after months and months of "fun".

All seven pins. When I get over the "feeling" and lock it back it up again I'll try to pick it to control.

Will enjoy it for a while first.

BTW. This is one of those "BEARS" of a Best cylinder that have been mentioned.

Nicely done

Four padlocks, added as extras from a trade I just received by HT4 — thanks mate. I don’t know much about the WB; the second is an ABUS No. 41 (40mm); next an American A1100 (WEFn3 — I think this corresponds with a look-up dictionary to find out what batch it was from/when it was made?); finally an American 5200. It has “PGF” and “US” on the other side.

First WB I’ve ever touched. I like it. High pins in the back I think. Besides the logo it has no other markings.

The larger American with it’s combo of serrated drivers and spools took me the longest. I think I was getting a bit aggressive with it.

All-in all it took about 30-40 mins.

…

Now to get to that custom Corbin, also something new. Thanks again HT4.

Finally picked this other Master 532 that has been REFUSING to open. I've picked other 532's but this one has a crazy bitting and for some reason, for three long days has absolutely refused to be picked. Moments ago, it opened. Most of you would have opened it in minutes regardless of the craziest of bittings, but as for me, it is a victory and great feeling.

The Hi Sec cylinders are all the same brand just set into different lock bodies.

The key ways are super thin, had to make a really thin pick.

Bitch of key ways and fun bitting.

The Federal on top had no key.

Well done. For me, that Abus 41 was the hardest lock of the bunch... tight keyway and nasty bitting.

I remember lusting after that lock when I first saw it on BB's channel.

Me too! But I never realized how big and heavy it is. It's a beast! I picked this up on eBay for $25... Seemed like a decent deal for a CEN5 lock, though I have no idea what the price should be because of the rarity. I just looked at BBs video again, and it looks like it's the exact same lock... Same key, scratches in the same places, etc. I guess this will be my second video in a row of BBs leftovers. My EVVA ALS appears to be the other half of his cut euro cylinder. Strange how that works out.

#5 is darned hard to reach!

Great pickings gents. I follow a seller on ebay who mysteriously has locks for sale that have popped up in Bills videos. So either its Bill or he deals with someone.

[jeffmoss26]

Who's the seller?

[DroppedTensionWrench]

Nice picking HT4!

Nice picking HT4!

Thanks... and thank you for the lock! #5 is very, very hard to reach. It seems hit or miss whether I get it without oversetting something else. I suspect it might be easier if I thinned my pick out closer to .010"-.012". I may try that before attempting this on video.

Sorry gents dont have his name saved but I run across his stuff a lot on ebay. He always has a white piece of paper in the first pic saying "lot" and some numbers. Name is a mix of random letters so no easy to remember.
