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

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

And I did it while wearing a fluffy bear suit.

ยน 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.

@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?

Heck yes! I'll check it out :)

Sorry, @lisamelton, it's awkward when exposed to a toot via a boost but then replying adds the booster. Awkward because unsure if should be included or not so opt for inclusion since assuming there's already interest. Is there Mastodon expectations or etiquette there for you, I know you boost a good deal (good things).

Yes we are! And here I am being a jerk and not logging on for days at a time to acknowledge that. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

That was an awesome achievement so I was delighted to boost it. ๐Ÿ’–
