  • 8 hours? I'll do it in 2. 27 slots, we'll guess 30 parts per slot... shouldn't take 8 hours to make 27 unique piles out of 810 items. The larger case I see taking about 8 hours...but has color coordination

  • You should put a flat sheet of adhesive magnet underneath each square.

  • We have gone through 4 deadbolt locks for our front door in the past 3 years. Every time we buy one the key eventually just spins in the tumbler and does not engage so that the bolt can recede back onto the door. Any idea what we are doing wrong?

  • hi guys i want to be a lock smith wen i grow up

  • 17 people who dislike the vid aren't burglars :)

  • 8 fucking hour,,,,ouch:9

  • @ongchorcool actually, depends on skill. your skill, (beginner i guess) is low i take it. cabinets are easy. all you got to do is push all the pins up or down and turn it. there its picked. some cabinets are kinda hard and you got to rake the pins. my level is low and i'm trying a door lock. i got past combination locks and cabinets.

  • @123wildlink yeah is hard tried lockpicking a cabinet lock using a scissor as torsion wrench and paper clip as pick

  • @ongchorcool trust me, it isn't easy. start off with a bike lock or a standard filling cabinet lock

  • i am learning how to lockpick
