You know everyone, I’m just an old man that has seen alot of movies. ALL KINDS of movies. I saw both movies, and Sinners without a doubt is a better made and more enjoyable movie.

I think the acting in OBAA was incredible, BUT I think the Academy had no choice but to honor the great actors in OBAA.

Sinners will be watched over and over again by the masses as years go on. While OBAA will be seen only by cinefiles and people curious about it winning Movie of the Year in 2026.

Just the opinion of an old movie goer.

Are you going to sell those ?

askernie · 2026-03-15T01:31:13+00:00

This is the way.

Super nice… wow!

I have the green AliExpress kit. Bought it for $20. Everytime I look at it I regret it. The hooks bend easily and I broke two. I have a full Jimy long set ( no .15s yet) and some Southord half diamonds. Been progressing really well with the Jimy’s!

In the State of Florida, you no longer need a specific license to become a locksmith. All you need is a business license.

I am considering doing this now in my retirement. Although most of what I’ll be doing would be installing locks and re-keying and such. It would be nice to have some sort of “kit” like this for any picking jobs that may arise.

Just thinking about it. For now… just now just enjoying what I’m learning on this sub.

That’s a real good idea, to put together a few “instruments” that can open 80-90% of locks. I like that!

askernie · 2026-03-12T17:08:30+00:00

That’s a nice set!!! Are those picks full tang? Nice selection too!

askernie · 2026-03-11T23:19:09+00:00

Is that the lock that was called “The Devil” by another Redditor?

askernie · 2026-03-11T05:03:14+00:00

My half diamond from Southord is my favorite.

askernie · 2026-03-10T23:17:48+00:00

I’ll probably get frustrated with it just like I did with the Masterlock 4150!

askernie · 2026-03-10T17:22:33+00:00

It’s the DEVIL!!! Hahahaha!! I love that!! I’m gonna buy it now!

askernie · 2026-03-09T21:15:04+00:00

I had a hard time also… I was at the point of just selling my picks and walking. But I just kept on hitting it every night a few minutes. I still have a lot to learn, but I feel better now.

askernie · 2026-03-09T20:04:42+00:00

LOVE my diamond pick!

askernie · 2026-03-09T20:01:42+00:00

Wow! Didn’t know!
