@@ch4.hayabusa You can't buy needles in texas without a prescription, due to drog paraphernalia laws.

He started applying the solvent at 2:14. So combined removal of the sticker and picking the lock was 3:19. Not quite under three minutes, but damn!

@@glenmatthes8839 if you want to include that, you s should subtract the time he spent explaining the stuff in between sticker removal and starting to pick...

Not cheating, just bending the rules

the cheating on the rules the viewer said... Because he was confident he could beat it (as he said he already had several of those locks), he didn't time it and sent it back to him anyway. He decided to use it pure because of the smart thinking, and the tamper sticker was a good chance to prove even something as common as a tamper sticker can be defeated.

I fail to understand this challenge? If we are trying to pick a lock to gain entry, what will a tamper sticker do? That sticker is not keeping the door locked, and the first thing a real burglar would do is poke a hole in that sticker. So what was the point again? If he wanted him to pick the lock without using the keyhole? To prove what? Why not weld the lock shut? It will prevent him from picking it, but it would also make it impossible to use the lock, so again, pointless.

@@daveyognaught9784 it definitely *was* a challenge to LPL lol First of all, no one is going to tamper with the lock mid-travel, that doesn't make any sense. Second, if someone did, what could they do? Open it? Reclose it? It's not like theyre gonna repin it and send it back along to LPL or something :'D The whole point of the tamper sticker was to know for sure whether LPL had gotten the lock and then practiced on it learning how to defeat it quickly, that's the entire reason people want to send him sealed packages, it's part of the challenge.

Those stickers can't be used to invalidate a warranty claim in the US anyway thanks to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, so it only acts as a deterrent.

Hair dryer or, better, a precision heat gun is better since some stickers are paper based, applying any solvent may damage it.

@@novicedroner2629 they're still useful for certified devices like medical equipment, where unauthorised modification can be extremely harmful. For warranties though, absolutely, they're just something to scare people.

Many skilled locksmiths will know this technique and have a similar tool and some of them may be part of your threat model. But I do agree this is a pretty decent lock. Will stop the average lockpicker. Just be aware that many thieves will carry a battery powered grinder and just grind off the lock or latch anyway. So cover those over with hardened steel to make the job too much effort for them to bother.

@@CynHicks Printing it out and then later setting it up in the video is probably way more effort than editing it in in post using a quick Windows+Shift+S (or the equivalent for other OSes). About 3 seconds to take a snippet, and 5 seconds to change windows and paste it into a video editor of choice, with at most 20 seconds for setting how long it appears, where it appears, et cetera. Printing it out also requires taking a snippet, changing windows, etc., plus the time it takes to print and then smoothly integrating the print into the video, which isn't necessarily hard, but still higher effort due to the fact that you have added an extra factor of failure in an one-shot video.
