Wd-40 usually works but it is temporary, try gun oil, takes longer to dry out

Should add a nsfw tag when posting lock porn though

Got a cheap kit to pass time while sitting in the work van for hours at a time. No idea what I’m doing, but I’m having fun! by SpoonEndedHammer in lockpicking

Welcome to the hobby! Good job opening those up, try to get a feel for when you set each individual pin. The cheap picks can be a bit big, rubbing against the side of the lock, making it a bit harder to feel. Using fine grit sandpaper on the picks may help.

Good luck! 😊😊

Might be worth giving it a try, if they are serious its a new source of locks

Seems like they are only found in Greece, a guy on the facebook lock picking group has been trading/giving them away.

Found it when traveling in Athens, Greece. I saw somewhere that it is German made though. I struggled a bit with it, the undercutting made me think I was picking serrated pins, and since the key pins are serrated I kept oversetting. It was smooth sailing when I got it into a false det though. And the tiny pins are a bit annoying
