Vintage Abloy 3015-3018 picked (eventually!)

What? So, I decided to jump in and pick an Abloy 3015-3018 padlock without practising first and using a cheap Chinese tool that I've only had for a matter of hours ! It doesn't go well. However, this is often the reality when picking unfamiliar locks the first few times, and not something you see that much in all those polished videos put out by other, better pickers. Why? Now, I was going to redo the video. I can open this padlock in about four minutes now, and with a bit more practise I could probably open it in thirty seconds... ...But that just wouldn't be honest. It also doesn't help other pickers who are struggling to understand why they can't open their locks just as fast. That's why I'm posting the video as is ! Anyway, strap in and enjoy. I hope you brought a sandwich! (Note: I don't talk much, because I'm concentrating quite hard, which is a bonus for everybody that hates the weird nasal tick that I only just realised I'm doing!) Also:- Never pick a lock you don't own Never pick. lock that's in use Never run with scissors 00:00 Introduction 00:54 Picking begins 21:20 Finally, it's happened to me, right in front of my face (etc!) 22:30 Lock it back up and impressions of the Haoshi tool 27:30 Logo time!
