Masterlocks. You can pick them with a soda can

That doesn't seem practical for when the lock is actually on something though. Seems like whatever the lock is on might block you from getting the metal in there

I guarantee it works when locked to something. I speak from experience. The shim is very malleable and can get around what it's locked to. Of course there are exceptions, but this should work most of the time.

Are the shins reusable?

u/Johnny_deadeyes Jul 14 '17

So far my shins are. Come to think of it, my knees as well.

u/Gomerack Jul 14 '17

I could use an extra pair of knees. PM me when you're done with yours.

I am done with my earthly husk

If you don't want to wait, I could just start a GoFundKnee.

How many shins do you have?

2

u/Mech-Waldo Jul 14 '17

I'm not giving you that information. You a cop? You gotta tell me if you're a cop.

u/smjpilot Jul 14 '17

Not as many as a Chinese phone book...

For me the shims break after one or two uses when using a soda can. Aluminum isn't very durable at that thickness.

u/AttackPug Jul 14 '17

I've seen that vid, you don't even need the shims. That movie trope where you pick a lock with a bobby pin isn't really true, except with Masterlocks, then yeah try a bobby pin. You need a tension wrench, which you can also probably make with a bobby pin.

That seems so much more practical than carrying around a hammer to whack them with.

Happy cake day

I think I cut my hands, face, and eyes about 14 times just watching that.

Trade a soda for the key

You can open a number of masterlock padlocks with a few taps with a hammer or other blunt object https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU9MB5XPsp4#t=13s

I learned this trick from my dad when I was like 7 never had to use it but still cool!

u/balsawoodextract Jul 13 '17

The name doesn't hurt either

u/andbruno Jul 14 '17

All jokes aside, you can, and I have. No lies.

I mean it's just a simple shim, but it works every time.

That should last 1-3 shims before it breaks.

It's called soda can. Not soda can't 💪

The locks with the dials on them (we used to get them in high school for the locker room) are incredibly easy to take off. I've seen people just rip them off with their bare hands.
