How To Pick Locks With Paper Clips

Meet Bill. Bill has a channel on YouTube devoted to How-To videos. In this video, he explains how to pick locks with the kind of improvised tools you can find in your junk drawer, paper clips.

Demonstrating the techniques on an acrylic see-through lock so you have an idea of what's going on, this guy does a pretty solid job of simply putting that information and skill out there.

Of course, paper clips as lock pick tools pale in comparison to that one gun safe being opened by a zip tie, but it's still pretty neat.

You might be thinking "Why would you share this?" and believe me, I had that thought too. Why teach people to be criminals, but at the end of the day I decided that anyone that would legit try to use this for nefarious purposes is probably to jacked up on meth to have that hand-eye coordination. Use this information responsibly.
