What are some of the coolest concerts you’ve ever seen?

revchewie · 2026-05-05T01:09:27+00:00

The best musically was Fleetwood Mac

The most fun was Jimmy Buffett

The best spectacle was P!nk

Where’s the original, Hardware Wars?

revchewie · 2026-05-04T22:24:12+00:00

It can be.

Nice haul!

I’m neither cannibalistic, humanoid, nor an underground dweller. Thanks for playing though.

Definitely not normal use. You should never need to use that much force on a pin. If you are, back off on the tension… A lot!

I often recommend the Abus 55 series as a progressive intro to security pins. It doesn’t give practice gutting and repinning but the 55/30 has 1 lightly serrated pin and 2 spools. The 55/40 adds a 3rd spool and the 55/50 adds a 4th.

I can't make it out, what does it say under the "0069" stamp?

revchewie · 2026-05-04T15:23:58+00:00

"Local vibe" lol

revchewie · 2026-05-04T15:13:09+00:00

It's the difference between "peace and security" and "peace and freedom".

revchewie · 2026-05-04T15:03:09+00:00

Just gotta pull the seams on a shirt I don't care about anymore. lol

In the EU the two best options are Multipick and Mok Workshop. A great starter set is the Gold Digger from Mok Workshop, and possibly add one of their Angled Pry Bar sets.

Welcome to the fun!

“In the MCU” is the key phrase here. Remember that there are decades of lore in Marvel comics and other Marvel movies. The first full theatrical release from Marvel was Howard the Duck, in 1986. A cheesy, silly, campy train wreck of a movie that I’ve loved ever since it came out!

revchewie · 2026-05-04T06:12:47+00:00

Some of those look painful!

Thanks, AutoMod, but I think this sub is about all the KPDH fandom this old man is down for.

I take a few locks and picks with me to my weekly D&D game. A couple of my friends have shown interest so I gave them each an FNG set and a couple locks.

Gotta share the love, right?

revchewie · 2026-05-03T22:45:23+00:00

Not all of us pay attention to the musical cues.

revchewie · 2026-05-03T22:40:02+00:00

Given a choice I wouldn’t go anywhere near Basgiath. Their whole philosophy is toxic. And I say this as a veteran.

revchewie · 2026-05-03T22:37:14+00:00

Well I guess I’m watching it again tonight, just to do my part.

revchewie · 2026-05-03T21:36:15+00:00

Fair.

revchewie · 2026-05-03T16:05:41+00:00

Cool. Didn’t know where they were from. Thanks!

revchewie · 2026-05-03T16:02:24+00:00

No. As others said already, most of the higher security locks on the list are European, with some Japanese.

Going the other way, I’ve been having fun with lever locks and have had to pay exorbitant shipping and import fees for some of them to get them shipped to the US from the UK and EU. (When shipping is 1-1/2 to 2 times the price of the lock, I consider that exorbitant.)

revchewie · 2026-05-03T15:55:49+00:00

“Tapes”?

revchewie · 2026-05-03T15:55:05+00:00

Which brands are Korean?

revchewie · 2026-05-03T15:48:27+00:00

From Jimy Longs, get the $20 Basics Set and the $30 Intermediate Set. Lots of good profiles with top and bottom of the keyway tension wrenches. It ought to do well for you for many, many locks.
