 Okay, so I was on keeppicking.com the other day and I saw an ad for commando lock company, which I'd never heard of it sounded Either ridiculous or very cool So I ordered a couple of their locks there. They seem like normal sort of GSA You know low-security locks kind of like American or whatever But they claim to be many USA and they claim to be pick resistant and you know They're advertising when keep picking so you know, they obviously aren't scared of us So I ordered a couple and they're pretty cheap. They're like eight bucks each something like that You can get a fancier shackle for a little more, but they were out of stock So I have a really horrible track record picking things out of the box And I expect that to continue, but I'm gonna give it a go anyway Make sure I'm in frame so nicely packaged and There we go. So here's the first lock. I don't remember what this one is called. They have a couple different models They're all basically the same just slightly different aesthetic features So It does say made in the USA It even says commando lock on it. It's kind of neat There's the Thing I'd say the fit and finishes needs them out a little bit. Fit and finish is actually quite nice. It's very soft It's got a little bit of oil on it, but that's normal the You know standard sort of riveted design supposedly it's got like integral rivets. So there's like rivets on both sides It's got these little things that might be hard-plated in there and then there's one of the keys Okay, that's a pretty wacky-looking bidding looks unpleasant and let's see See what's on the inside. So we had a quarter rotation no spring And Not cured well not key retaining, but there is a Look at the light. There is a ball bearing in there and we're gonna presume. There's one on the other side But we don't know yet The grooves on the shackle are not terribly deep so Who knows I wonder Okay, so it definitely is probably shimproof because I can't get this thing back into position now So I can take the key out, but I'm not gonna be able to relock it without releasing the ball So it's probably shim resistant In that respect I'll get the key out set that down and zoom back in Um So While I have it out Let's just do a little quick hardness test. So that's the tip of my knife It's not really scratching that at all and then on the bottom Well that put a pretty serious scratch in it. So the steel in the shackle looks like it's probably quite strong How about this little it looks like it's turned to be a drill resistant piece That knife is scoring that pretty aggressively too. So I don't know how drill resistant that would be But the important thing is because this is a supposedly a picking video The important thing is going to be whether I can open it before my battery runs out So It looks like a pretty much a master luck key way down. I'm not getting any Play in the plug, which likely means that It's not completely full of spools and I can see the front pin is not serrated so But I do know it has that crazy bidding So I'll just sort of fill around in here and see if it either opens or false sets See what happens the key. Okay, that's a false set for sure. Okay either I'm Over set or This tensor is not doing its job Okay, it was definitely most of the way there So let's give that another little break and see See what he does Okay, there's there it is in false Let's get something Be a little pointier to get up in there to see what's going on See if one of those back pins. Oh, yeah, we get some counter rotation on one of those We'll find them again. Oh, follow counter rotation That one is giving me a little bit of feedback, but So these are not these do not feel like your typical spools I'm not sure what they are back in false. I think every pin is locked up Reset there it is Hicked open So maybe I was over setting and not false setting um so against abyss or american or even some of the better master locks. I hate to say I'm with the one the professional series that have the the um The security pins I would say this is no better and possibly um possibly worse But I've got one or two more to fiddle with and Maybe I'll film those and we'll see if uh, maybe one of those is better. So anyway, uh commando lock company It's a decent lock. I'd say, you know for an eight dollar lock It's not bad. Um, certainly better than the chinese crappin is made in the united states. So um, you know, probably not a bad buy But I don't know about military grade padlock systems. Um, not the us military. I hope Anyway, this is alex Um, have fun. Keep it legal. Cheers
