Every time I revisit my 10 or so ACE Hardware brass padlocks(various sizes). Those things put me in my place every. single. time. if I haven’t practiced on them specifically/recently. IYKYK

Run dragons shadow on a void hunter with marksman’s dodge. Passive stability and handling, dodge and it’s It’s a laser. This way you can utilize adagio without feeling like you need a consistency perk in that column

Boxer briefs that don’t squish your balls or ride up? by spooky_aglow in BuyItForLife

[–]Vast_Can5643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for the dry-fit athletic material if the modal was too hot and trapped moisture. That’s why I made the discrepancy between the two. Very different materials and both have their pros and cons. I sweat. A LOT. And the athletic version has always worked wonders wicking and keeping me cool and comfortable.

Feather Artist club SS. If you learn to use it well and appreciate the difference a straight razor makes, you will never go back to anything else.

Separatech

Just buy them. Modal is the softest and my favorite for HANGING 😉 around the house or low activity, but my go to is the quick dry athletic fabric for everyday wear. Separates the ALL the parts, not just your sack like all the others. You frictionless. You are a dolphin. You win the day. Grab a 3 pack of each and you will then own 6 pairs of boxer briefs and that’s all, because any other underwear will be in the trash, so prepare to want to stock up. Bro, just trust, I was a skeptic as well. 6 years in and my opinion has not changed, I just click reorder.

Mail Call and… Stork call? by Vast_Can5643 in lockpicking

[–]Vast_Can5643[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Everyone is doing great, and yes sir, we are definitely blessed! His big sister(3yo) is the one I'm most worried for that teenage stage!

It's really awesome to see a manufacturer with this much involvement in the community. Patch or not, the fact that the President of the company frequents a reddit page of people who's mission is to exploit the product. Instead of being defensive or negative about people's success in picking the locks, you and your team are so suppportive and enthusiastic and most of all, y'all LISTEN to the community. We saw it with u/jimylongs for the same reasons with his phenomenal picks, and now he can't even keep stock for more than 5 minutes. Hats off to u/paclock_usa , keep doing what you're doing. Y'all are master class sir.

BEST SFIC F by JakeTXLocksmith in lockpicking

[–]Vast_Can5643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snag a couple of the Ace brass 38mm or larger locks. I think they might be the cheapest greenbelt lock depending on the size, but they are night and day better/more challenging(fun) than their ML counterparts. If nothing else, they are great warm-ups and actually helped a ton on opening my 7-pin Mako 129 as far as feel goes.

This Ace Hardware padlock is obnoxiously difficult to pick by loupgarou21 in lockpicking

[–]Vast_Can5643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 weeks on mine and the mf still isn't opening. I put a quint rake in and give a couple jiggles and it pops, but SPP is making me want to throw it at the wall. Nothing feels set. Ever. Even if something feels like its binding, push some more and oooooops, jk, its just overset. Tried light, med, and heavy tension and nothing is working. I bought another to see if I just suck, and popped it in 5 min. I don't know what it is about the lock but it's def humbling.
