I just beat the Guinness world record for speed-picking by 4 seconds!

Single-pin-picking, 8 differently-keyed, 4-pin, standardΒΉ padlocks, in 56 seconds.

And I did it while wearing a fluffy bear suit.

ΒΉ the current record holder used laminated Master locks with no security pins, but I didn't want all the comments on my video to be "Master lock sucks" jokes, so I used Brinks instead.

@alice I realized after posting that there is an alternate interpretation where I am asking you to never change your clothes, and now that is retroactively what I meant. Please leave the bear suit on forever.

Clearly, it's the BEAR SUIT that's been the missing ingredient in my picking all this time... 🀯

The only thing missing is dropping the tools nonchalantly and yelling β€œTIME!”.

Also vibrating locks open WR 100% when? :P

Show threadStephen PaulgerMar 5

@alice hopefully red team tools will start selling bear suits so we can all get better.

It’s a long time since I tried recording myself picking a lock, I’m sure it makes it harder.

Nicely done!

@alice @lisamelton TIL this is a thing, I need to get on the hobby. A ton of folks in my field do it and I have some of the toools - need to get some locks and watch tutorials.

Any recommended?

Amazing. Alice rocks locks. Or SPPs them, actually!

Show threadBrambleminster GollyhatchMar 5
@alice @briankrebs Just out of curiosity, in a competition or record attempt, does it matter whether you're single pin picking or raking, are they separate disciplines? And if so how do they verify? Asking because I for example usually start raking/zipping with a flat hook before bothering to fiddle with individual pins, which works for a huge amount of cheapish locks, so technically I'm raking but not using a rake. I'm not planning to compete or anything, I'm just curious if a jury could tell the difference and disqualify me, or if they even care at all. :)
