I have 6 or 7 pry bars but needed a different one for a job. Know how many pry bars Home Depot has on display? 35! And there are larger more specialized ones in the roofing and concrete department. They have a new tool named the Air Shim that is called an “inflatable pry bar” and I can think of lots of times it would have come in handy:

Locksmiths use a thing like that to get into cars where the keys are locked inside.
Don’t ask me how I know this.
(I own a slim jim, but it’s inside the car:smack:)
There is also the Rapid Access Tool which looks like it would be particularly attractive to burglars:
Cool. Here is a different kind of Rapid Access Tool. The video tells all.

You weirdos would get a huge kick out of the Lock Picking Lawyer’s Youtube channel.
The man is seriously good at picking virtually any lock.
It was recommended to me while I was planning a heist and I continue to watch from time to time as a soothing sleeping aide.
IANALocksmith or burglar or EMT, but that ad seems a little deceptive. At about 14 seconds in, the person uses the tool to open a steel door that has a spring latch and a deadbolt. But it looks like there is no hole, or box, for the deadbolt to go into in the door jamb. That is, it looks like a dummy deadbolt put on to imply the tool, a version of the old “open with a piece of celluloid or credit card trick,” can open deadbolts as well. I may be wrong.
That dude is really good. I like some of the specialty tools. Here is a neat one:
I agree with Kropotkin. Most modern spring latches have a pin that prevents the credit card trick. That tool looks like they have just developed a better version of the credit card. I can’t tell (from the video) how it would bypass a deadbolt or a **properly installed **spring latch.
Glad you liked it.
I’m not a gun enthusiast but he seems to be one and he’s got some videos where he opens a lock with a 50 caliber gun.
