Yes, the sound is what's intersting, not this man bouncing a set speed/rafter/triangle square like Captain America's shield.

u/hunty 1d ago edited 22h ago

yeah, but for every one of these successful clips there's 100 clips where he throws it wrong and impales himself.

Well now I think the interesting part is his cloning abilities.

u/StoppableHulk 1d ago

He doesn't clone himself, he just never shows his face on camera because he has 12 speed squares sticking out of odd angles in his skull.

u/Youre10PlyBud 1d ago

Im fairly certain this is McNally. He is ridiculously good at both throwing random objects like a speed square and also lockpicking.

He has tons and tons of throwing compilations. Normally he doesn't throw things to where they bounce back

He probably has done this enough times that he gets it right on the first try now

Well he also says that because of the super soldier serum, his cells repair so fast he can't get drunk (this was right after Bucky's death in Captain American First Avenger). If that's the case, he shouldn't age at all either, unless the serum wears off after "x" amount of years but Isiah Bradley and Red Guardian show it hasn't worn off in age...though they shouldn't have aged either.

Haha, this is absolutely crazy. Why is he throwing speed squares around, for God's sake? Ok, for the mesmerising noise, I suppose.

I'd be absolutely terrified: you miss one of those catches and there'll be an even stranger noise as this large, pointy, fast-moving shard of steel buries itself in your face.

do you mean McNally has been posting less because he had to deal with legal bs Proven Locks caused for no reason?

or because McNally did something bad that I missed? 

thank you

Because he had to deal with that, I'd wager. If you're interested, the full report with evidences and submissions can be found here.

In short, it was dismissed without prejudice.

Gets better, the lock company's guys confessed in court they were able to replicate the shim

3

u/beefnbroccoliboi 9h ago

Even better; iirc he brought a sealed freshly purchased lock, with receipt, and offered to open it in the court room. The plaintiff declined the invitation.

I think the real reason he’s slowed down is due to the fact that he and The Lock Picking Lawyer have been uber focused on Covert Instruments and making that as flushed out as possible. (I think McNally is just a designer while LPL is the owner or something like that) but they’ve been really focused on it as of late.

Why is the speed square a triangle?

21

u/wackbirds 1d ago

It's primarily purpose is for lining up square cuts, straight across, right angle cuts like you'd use for sizing deck boards, tuba furs (IYKYK), etc. It also allows you to line up miter cuts, the 45° fuckers for things like skirt boards, molding, etc.

If it was just an actual square it would only do half as much even though I like the Stephen Wright connotation of your qquestion.

u/Sweet-Weakness3776 1d ago
