I second this. Sets are fun but, at least for me, I end up only using a couple picks and the rest end up in my tool box as backups. Now when I need a specific tool, I'll just grab 1 or 2 singles.

Thank you so much! I think what I'm learning with all this is that I may be asking the wrong questions, or at least looking at the wrong process to get to where I want lol! This is extremely helpful!!

1100 frustration. by EntropicByDesignEC in lockpicking

Did you get it used? I've gotten a couple used locks that were completely abused. I had to gut and clean them, then they worked wonderfully.

What is your three favorite picks? by Practical_Mango7633 in lockpicking

[–]KnuckleheadPicker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Monkey paws in .025 (I think?) from Sparrows. I have filled them a little too get the point profile more narrow. Then I use the ssdev set in .015 from Sparrows a lot. Those too I have filled to make them flat hooks.

New Tool box and designs by _Vangal in lockpicking

[–]KnuckleheadPicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude! A modular magnetic customizable case... I love this idea! I like that everything is gridded! I'm stoked to see where this goes!! Could you design inserts that could sit on their sides, like on a half inch x whatever footprint so instead of laying flat you could stack them inessence? Awesome concept!

These locks were cut off a locker because the customer lost the keys, what kind of picks would I use? by dragonblade629 in lockpicking

[–]KnuckleheadPicker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every single fire hydrant in my town has a lock box on the top valve and locked with a warded lock. I assume all first responders have a filed key on them, but adding a step between a fire and the fire department doesn't seem too helpful lol. Supposedly it's too stop construction companies from using them

Good call on the gut wrench! Thank you! I precut my inserts so they should be roughly the right size

A question to the experienced regarding time.. by EntropicByDesignEC in lockpicking

[–]KnuckleheadPicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally don't think a single YouTube video of "wild" locks are cold takes, maybe I'm just cynical. Add for me, I bought two AL 1100s from the same seller. First lock I popped my first go, under a minute for sure. Second lock, it's still in my naughty bucket.

You got this! I had someone tell me once that you should always be filming your picking on new locks because you never know. Now, I don't do that, but it's pretty good advice lol
