I got mine already! Purchased it the day LPL released his video about it. One question, LPL always rotates the disks clockwise with a tool that looks like it's made for the task. What can a person use for that task who doesn't have a cool looking mini dagger like LPL? I have a fairly complete lock picking set for standard tumbler locks so I'm wondering if a large z-bar or something will work as well?

Already impressed from Bosnian Bills video, but this has helped me understand better the difference between this and the older DD picks. Basically while the sparrows pick can open many more locks, if you already have a cheap DD pick, keep hold of it for the locks that don't have any special restraints as it may be quicker

Yup, keep every pick as you never know!

I've watched and enjoyed both Bosnian Bill and LPL for a couple of years now, but it is only after watching this video that I feel confident in my understanding of what's involved in making and picking these locks.

I was one of the lucky 500 first purchasers. I plan on contacting sparrows to ask if they plan on selling extra parts for it. I bought an Abus 20/70 diskus and found out very quickly that in order to pick it I would have to file down the tensioner nose because the front spinner was the exact same depth and I could not reach the number 1 disc to tension the lock. I couldn't bring myself to filing on my new pick and I think it would be cool if sparrows would sell additional tensioning tips with different depth noses for different locks. I wouldn't mind filing it myself but would still like to have an unmodified tip also.

This is the tool for me but sold out for the moment as it should be - should be called The Open Sesame for Disc locks.

Some obvious ideas for a version 2: 1. Narrower box/carrying case with the tension arms unscrewed and stored parralel. Might be same box as regular picks. 2. Alternative tip shapes for cheap locks and rear tension locks, to be changed over in same handle. 3. Share some parts with a lever pick, in particular tension arms etc.

The design of this pick although initiative is clearly the natural evolution of the disk detainer pick.

I was thinking that... instead of trying to hold the pick perfectly straight in front of the keywhole.. It would be better to just allow the shaft to retract so that the tension bars are against the lock/keyhole. This way it won't move and will stay straight in front of the keyway. Unfortunately the shaft can't move as far as i'd like to (square part), so I guess I 'll have to grind the round part off a bit allowing to adjust as i'd like . I don't know if that makes sense... New tips (apparently stronger) arrived at sparrows, if you guys are interested.

Wasn't the sparrows disc detainer tool designed by lock picking lawyer and Bosnian Bill? I believe they designed it and gave it to sparrows with the promise that sparrows would sell it at an affordable rate for all us pickers. I thought that was a really kind thing for them to do

@iblackfeathers 4 жыл бұрын

if supplies get stabilised, sparrows should sell tips separately in addition to the extra one that comes with the kit. just out of curiousity, would it be possible to fit the extra tip on a different disc detainer? thanks.

So... Funny that.. I have a couple of Chinese locks, and the cheapy "slightly modified" Chinese pick... Works like a charm, couldn't pick a kryptonite... Got the LPL/BB/S (superpick "my words") picked the kryptonite first try about a minute.. However! Trying to use the superpick to open those Chinese locks is absolutely frustrating, I'll say 70% of the picking surface is air, so it's difficult to get a bite on a disk, and since they are stamped they actually have a slight angle to them so the bit slips off. So if I come across a crappy lock (I chock this up to my lack of skill) I still go for the Chinese pick.

They include a spare pick so its replaceable, so it would be interesting if they included a couple of different thickness picks to account for the thick and thin disks you mention.

I don’t think it needs that, but it would make picking a bit easier on some locks

Excellent video and a seemingly excellent product. I’ll have to pick up one I’ve been reteaching myself how to pick locks so I can teach my nephew for a science fair. Now, my only question is what is inside that grenade once you’ve picked it!

I found the forked prongs are too short for some locks with a fat anti drill collar. I plan to shave off a few centimeters of the shaft otherwise I cant even attempt some of the locks I have

I'd get one of these but I think it would just amplify my incompetence with disc detainers. So far I only have those cheap picks and, no matter how much I sand it down with fine grit paper, I still get nothing except a horrible grinding sound whenever I use it on either a transparent lock (where I wouldn't have high expectations) or what I'd consider to be a proper lock. They don't grind with the correct key but they grind like I'm stirring a bucket of gravel with the cheap picks. I'd hate to put a decent precision engineered tool through such torture until I know what I'm doing.

Will this pick work opening cheap Chinese transparent disc detainer practice locks that sell for $14 on a few sites online. I bought a Goso version. Just wondering if there's too much slop in them to be used by a tool such as this. I have never picked these locks so I'm interested as to what the limitations of this pick are even though you clarified some in the video.

I wonder why nobody has made a video on picking the Sargent & Greenleaf 0883 or 0881 environmental padlocks with these disc detainer cores. Are they that hard to pick?

@LockNoob 4 жыл бұрын

I didn’t know they had DD cores... what’s inside? Is is an Abloy of something kind?

@wot_hog 4 жыл бұрын

@@LockNoob I doubt it. I'd be very surprised if it weren't something proprietary of their own. I'm sure they'll be challenging though; the larger 0881 is designed to protect railroad switchpoints in remote locations, for instance.
