I acknowledge their thumbnail is horrible. They're a great channel, though!

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.

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.
