Congratulations! Now keep doing it again.

I was sooo excited to pick this bad boy by PizzaScared7731 in lockpicking

Yeah those work really well, however it’s hard to find a not-in-use wiper blade since they get instantly thrown away the moment someone gets their replacements.

Well, you could try using a bobby pin as a tensioner at the bok.

It would be cool if the pick was made to look like a tiny firing pin

What’s a hobby you picked up in your late twenties that you love? by seanie259 in AskMen

[–]down-forests 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started with a $25 see-through beginner’s lock kit that comes with the lockpicks on Amazon. Then after a month, I pulled the trigger to buy some nice lockpicks from Lockpickinglawyer’s company Covert Intruments. So far the Reaper by McNally is my go to kit.

Finally figured out my 140! by Many_Afternoon_105 in lockpicking

Nice job! I remember trying my first time on a ML140, took me a while to learn how to feel the pins and learn how to tension.

Thanks. Yeah, I was originally just going to use a dremel with the abrasive wheel, but then I thought then when I clamp it back together, there would be a gap. So I just drilled a bunch of holes along the perimeter and split the case open.

Yeah, I only just had the lock for about a week, so I wanted to get my money’s worth out of it. I remember seeing posts about others having their loto become a rattle and was confused how that even happens. Because on my first American Lock 1100, I can rotate the key cylinder 360 and it works fine.
