MasterLock 175 - How it works and how to bypass with a thin pick.
I've watched several videos of how to bypass and how to pick these lock. This video won't plow new ground but I tried to make it more detailed about how the lock mechanism, and in particular the "wheels", work so you'll have a better feel for what's going on inside the lock and the best way to work the pick.

UPDATE: Since I made this video I've changed my opinion on which way to orient the "point" of the pick. In the video I show the "point" at the "top edge" of the pick. After playing around with these locks some more I've been having better success with the point on the bottom edge. So if it's not working for you one way try it the other way. But I was hitting something a lot more when I had it on top then when I had it on bottom so I'd say try it with the point on bottom edge of the pick first.

Another tidbit, don't know if others have mentioned it but I was wondering why they bothered putting those notches on the side of the wheel since it's really the Flats that let it open at the combination. Turns out that the notches are how they prevent the programming key from being put in and disengaging the wheels from the axle. The wheels cannot be pushed sideways by the tit on the programing key except when those notches are lined up with internal stops. When the notches not lined up the wheels can't move sideways off the axle splines.
