Thanks a lot, found two 175 padlocks, I tried for hours but thanks to your video and patience I got two usable padlocks with new combination

Hey! I appreciate that! Thank you!

Great vid. These new 175s are more challenging

Thank you! And, yeah... The new 175s have way betterer tolerances, and it felt like some anti-bypass shielding, too.

Hey man, great video. Thank you for the shout out.

Thanks, Nick! Even with as much grief as Master Lock gets, I think they are trying. At the end of the day, though, most locks are there to keep honest people honest.

@@pugspickslocks Indeed, I entirely agree. And as for those who slate Masterlock, how many have opened a Masterlock 19??? not many...not all master locks are bad. The lotos have a great keyway too. Way more challenging than an abus LOTO

Master Lock LOTOs are fun to pick! I find the PacLoc LOTOs more of a challenge. Haven't tried the Abus yet.

love the video. I still can not pick my 175.

Are you able to slip a decoder between the dials?

Thanks for perhaps the best video overall on this subject. I have a brand new out of package 175D. I set 0-0-0-0 and the latch wouldn't open. Following your procedures with an aluminum can decoder tool, I confirmed 0-0-0-0 is correct. I guess I have a defective lock? Any recommendations (other than return to store)?

Hey... You try pushing down on the shackle? Set the combo, and then push down on the shackle and let the spring pop it back up. And thank you! I appreciate the comment!

​@pugspickslocks Ya, I've got two of these. The 1st one, set 0s, then push down shakle to spring it open.

Hm... If it isn't opening, either defective or not all zeroes. I'd have to play with it to tell.

@pugspickslocks There is still possibility my decoding procedure is in error no matter how many times attempted. Would manual bypass to open the shackle allow me to use the included key reset tool to enter a new combo? Problem tho, I don't have a bypass tool and not worth my time and $ to buy one.

No, unfortunately bypassing will open the shackle, but the code wheels have to be properly aligned to change the combination.
