LawPickingLawyer cracks an egregious gun safe:

  I miss when LPL's videos contained actual information.

  Every video for a couple of years now is the same thing.

  • Throw shade at the manufacturer in the intro.
  • Use some tool he sells on his website to defeat the lock.
  • Throw some more shade.
  • Never elaborate on any of the internal mechanisms, just reiterate that it can be defeated with this tool he sells at his shop.

  Go back a few years and you'll see the difference. The channel is really just two minute ads for his shop now.

    Most locks are similar, he now only shows details for unusual locks.

    He takes out the handle with a pry bar and you can reach in and take the gun. What further do you want them to explain lol

      Okay, that's one video. Now do the 1500 or so others with minimal information.

      His videos have devolved to the level of a low effort shitpost.

    In this case it’s … Really not worth explaining anything? And it’s not like it’s an unusual tool. It’s just a pry bar.

    Agree in general though

      For a channel that built it’s reputation on in-depth explanations, if it’s not with explaining then it’s not worth a video.

    He still does teardowns sometimes, but he definitely gets more views just talking shit. His videos over ten minutes get a fraction of the engagement.

    Personally, I’m a massive fan of McNallyOfficial these days, who also just mostly simps covert instruments, but he does so while demonstrating all the ways that a speed square can be used to defend against mannequin attacks.

      Those vids are highly entertaining. He has also taught me that a lot of padlocks can be opened just by smacking them, which is fun to watch.

    Good to know.

  Wow, that’s is… Bad. I really want him to do the Wyze gun lock. Curious how that handles.

      Just wait until you see the SmartFire:

      In their ad’s they leave it on a bookshelf behind the couch, while they watch a movie with their kid.

  Well, I definitely agree with him. That may be the dumbest safe design I’ve ever seen.

  LPL’s YouTube channel has unfortunately got pretty weak over the last couple years. Very short videos showing things that we’ve seen hundreds of times before. Very little extra information anymore. Really not worth watching.

    It’s cozy

  That thumbnail is so egregious it makes me hesitant to believe you when you say they are a great channel.

    From what I’ve heard, they’ve gone the way of click bait, but they’re old stuff is good. This video in particular is pretty funny too, and a good psa.
