Adam Savage Stunned by the Unpickable Lock!

Summary by Krater

Adam Savage and Riley Kolbow discuss the design, 3D printing prototypes, and manufacturing process of an unpickable padlock with a custom magnetic key mechanism.

From the video

Answers: How does the custom unpickable padlock and magnetic key work?

• unpickable padlock design
• 3D printed lock prototypes
• custom magnetic key mechanism
• lock picking and security
• PCBWay manufactured parts

What it concludes

• The padlock features a custom magnetic key mechanism that closes off the keyway during testing, preventing standard lock picking techniques.
• Using PCBWay machined parts allowed for the transition from 3D printed prototypes to functional, high-precision metal lock components.
• Lock-picking community feedback helped refine the lock design, including adjustments to pin shapes to resist impressioning attacks.
