I guess the lock picking lawyer has something to say about those mechanical locks.
To be fair, that dude makes it look easy. Picking a quality lock you aren't familiar with is pretty tough.
Oh, so are they (IDK the name but dude is locksmith but also throwing knives) pretty elite skill wise in locksmithing space?
I have no point of reference for that but in rock guitar term are they like Stevie Vai, Guthrie Govan level ?
McNally is the axe/knife guy. I can't speak to their reputation in the broader hobby, but these guys are VERY experienced. To me, it seems like a magic trick to open locks in 30 seconds when it might take me 1 minute to 1 hour. Except master lock. It really is that easy.
Yeah, it's hard to judge how much the gap between beginner and them. I remember there's one where LPL doing some seminar, I was like "He's an actual lawyer???" like I can't believe the locksmithing part is just his hobby or something.
