Re: YouTube Channel Dump: Pen Testing, Locks
A lot of the padlocks around here are usually situated in little hidey-holes (especially on shipping containers) meaning you can't fit anything bigger than a key up there. Still, useful to know if you need to open a padlock in a pinch and don't have access to more specialised tools.

Re: Hyperstealth Corp
I think the best application would be not as a true 'invisibility' shield/cloak, but a sort of multi-terrain ghillie suit to disguise your colour & form in any environment and make yourself seem as something other than human. People would still see something there, but won't be able to recognise it ...
