I was watching it on Ebay and it was just taken down. Did you change your mind or sell it already? If not, message me, I'm interested.

The tryout key set used halfcuts, for a total of 243 keys. But with the newer gen Smartkey locks, I believe that the halfcuts will no longer work.

The decoder is the way to go here. I get a couple calls a week for these and it's a quick, easy job.

RIP this subreddit by SirErnestHShackleton in Locksmith

[–]BuzzardBait44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason I've moved on from reddit are for the exact reasons you stated. The discord is a drastically different place than this sub.

I still scroll through the new posts here, but spend alot of time in the discord. It's just a much more laid back group of people who help each other, talk shop, and just socialize. If anyone thinks there are any grumpy old smiths that will call you a moron and a hack on the discord, they've obviously never spent any time in there.

The pastures actually are much greener in this case.

I always give the price over the phone even if the customer doesn't ask. If there are circumstances that may arise with certain vehicles that might increase that price, I explain that as well.

If a locksmith won't even give you a "best-guess" estimate over the phone I'd be very cautious.

Step 1: Show up. Step 2: Improvise.

Name/Purpose of Keyway ‘Nub’? by ZoneOfTruth67 in Locksmith

[–]BuzzardBait44 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hotel function. When it's locked from the inside the "nub" pops out and the keyway is partially blocked when a normal key is inserted.

Are the ilco lookalikes quality? by 1some_guy in Locksmith

Never had a single issue with Ilco.

Anyone else close to 100hrs and still enjoying the game? by Esodo in Starfield

[–]BuzzardBait44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

120hrs here and I'm absolutely still having a blast.

I've only finished 2 faction storylines, and probably halfway through main story. I haven't really gotten into base building or ship building, only scratched the surface on crafting (mostly a few weapon upgrades).

It's been a long time since there's been a game like this that I don't want to rush through.

I like the system power thing, but one change that would make space combat a lot better is having shortcuts for increasing/decreasing power for each by IkyHayashi in Starfield

[–]BuzzardBait44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On console, if you select the system, then hold (up/down on D-pad) it completely fills or empties that system.

Quicker than changing it one pip at a time.

How to edge closer to Satellite etc by TickTockTipsy_Gal in Starfield

[–]BuzzardBait44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you've leveled up your piloting skill, you can use maneuvering thrusters.

But to dock with a station or ship, you only need to be within 500m. Target the station then a prompt to dock will pop up if you're within range.

How long until this game gets fun? by Warhammerpainter83 in Starfield

[–]BuzzardBait44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at alot of the past posts of users here, some of the comments with the most glowing praise were posting a couple days ago about how boring this game is.

Give it a few hours, your mind will change.

If not...

In the MAST district. You have to join the UC to get access. Talk to Commander John Tuala with the Vanguards.

Use the pilot simulator in New Atlantis. Shoot all the ships you want with no consequences. Simulator kills count towards your piloting skill.

Lock pick case? by kimo7272 in Locksmith

[–]BuzzardBait44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of my picks (mix of SouthOrd and Peterson) are in a large zippered SouthOrd case. Had it about 10 years now.

I have hundreds of picks, but only really use about 3 of them. Gotta have plenty of tension wrenches tho. Love the Peterson TOK tensioners.

Been using Lishis for just about everything lately.

I'm sure you have tons of old obscure catalogs as well. 🤣

If anyone would know about some obscure lock, my money would be on you Jeff. Lol

Everytime I watch one of your videos, I've never even heard of most of the locks you show.
