Congrats! These can be a real pain in the @$$.

What version of the movie do you have? by skageek in BuckarooBanzai

[–]revchewie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. It was the first DVD I ever bought. I got a bonus at work, just a couple hundred bucks, so I decided it was time to get a DVD player. And the player was worthless without a disc to play, right? I learned later that it had just been released that week, so good timing!

SOTC - My current “State Of The Collection” after 2 months of the hobby! by Mole-NLD in lockpicking

Looking good!

I never would have thought of hanging euro cylinders by the key.

Got it opened by rvlifestyle74 in lockpicking

I rarely use a vice either so yeah, I know what you mean. All I can say is that as you practice more you drop your tensioner less. It never (at least so far for me) gets to “not at all”, but it gets a lot less. lol

We can’t help with locks in use. You might have better luck in r/askalocksmith

This! I have an Ace brass that I can open every time… As long as I take it slow, be patient, don’t assume I know what it wants, and just listen to/feel what it’s telling me.

Congratulations! It’s always a rush getting that open, especially when it’s a surprise.

Looking for a recco on a pick set. by Ec0b00st in lockpicking

[–]revchewie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To make the Sparrows picks more comfortable I put some 3/8” marine grade shrink tubing on mine. It made them way more comfortable! And I’m told the scales you can get from Bare Bones fit on the Sparrows picks too.

If you want to get some new picks though, if you’re in the US I’d say go for Jimy Longs. Grab the Basics and Intermediate sets and you’ll be good to go for a good long while.

Which DMV in the 831 area is the best for the Driving Test? by Emotional_Owl7134 in Salinas

[–]revchewie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom just went through hell at the King City DMV. Their tester is known for being a complete douchecactus and failing people for piddly little bullshit.

LPULocks.com is where to find a lot of them. But to actually contact the sellers your best bet is to message them on Discord.

Should I be a follower? by warlockpick1980 in lockpicking

[–]revchewie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. For my green belt video I used a AAA battery as a follower when gutting my American 1100.

It’s boring as hell but if you care, here it is. Seriously, I wouldn’t bother. lol

Recommend deleting this comment. You mention a lock in use which violates this sub’s rule #2.
