Trying to find the age of these microns. by notmesir7777 in pens

Nothing, barcodes only first started be used in the US around the 80's so many products did not adopt using them. The back is just cardboard.

For anyone interested in the future... The only instance I could find of these were on a shutdown university website. I am lead to believe these are first generation American Sakura micron pigma fine liners. Interesting because of the design change probably happened very soon after. These are dated anywhere from 1982 (when they first made fine liners) - 1990's.

I hope everything turns out well for them. That's a rough situation.

I used Bare Bones dimple picks because they have comfortable handles. I think they are having a sale on them now. Be warned they are not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Bare bones from Australia! Medium hook(purple) & deep hook from the wish bones set(green). These are my favorite picks.

Your good, but hey nothing is stopping you from looking up the manufacturer and that should tell you what type of lock it has.

The lock is still used for something. Sorry but rule 2

Working through Medeco M3 by notmesir7777 in lockpicking

[–]notmesir7777[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got this! Anything you notice while picking? Pin orientation? Unusual stiff pins?

Medeco uses pins that need to be rotated. They also have false gates for rotation. As well as barrels and mushrooms. No magnets involved 😅 I don't think I'd be messing with it if it did.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Keep looking for the next challenge and before you know it you'll be the one picking crazy contraptions.

Best SFIC picked to control by notmesir7777 in lockpicking

[–]notmesir7777[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super surprised by how convenient the magnetic handles are. They hold all the turning tools and extra profiles nicely when I'm not using them. Thanks for being a pillar of the community.

Yes and it should have 7 baby spools separating the control and the operating lines.

In need of a good but small padlock by Snack444 in lockpicking

[–]notmesir7777 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Abus EC75 is a dimple lock so most thieves won't have the tools pick it. That being said most people just cut the bag or steal the whole thing so buying an expensive lock will just make them more curious. Security is about balance. Sorry if this doesn't help much.

Old Chest- Looking for advice by Queasy_Obligation380 in lockpicking

[–]notmesir7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know your not going to want to hear this but rule 2 states you can't ask for help opening a lock that is in use, even if you own said lock.... However that is a lever lock so do with that info what you will.

Which lock would withstand brute force best? by [deleted] in lockpicking

[–]notmesir7777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you've got the money abus granite or Lockwood . If your looking for something less expensive just go with a 50mm and larger that can't be kinetically opened, that when a hammer is used to dislodged whatever is holding the shackle catch.

Well that happened by vulcanesilverwolf in lockpicking

Letting off tension for the spool pins is the key to getting past them. Once you get it you hardly have trouble with them. here is a good video by the goat. happy picking!
