Got scope today

[atlsmitty]

Got my scope, started a thread about it a few days ago, today. very happy with it, will come in very handy. i love what i do for a living and getting a new/usefull tool like this makes it all the more enjoyable. thank you to those of you who posted your opinions

Don't know how posting pics works here on this forum, will give it a try.

The link for your image is no good, when replying to a post there is an [Img] button at the top, click on that and past the link to your image in there. From the site you have the image on it should have the link to copy and paste for an image. Hope that makes sense

Well, when i pull it up its visible, tried it from multiple locations. Did use the image function when i was posting. Guess well know when another person comments. thanks though, the problem could be on this end, don't know

The pic works fine on this end.

Have you used it at all yet?

Not in the field yet, hopefully well get a few automotive calls tomorrow and will test it out some more. i have used it on cam locks that were around the house and without a doubt it will get a lot of use sight reading on vehicles. some vehicles are pain to use an ez-reader on(wafers are extremely close together) and the scope will solve that problem. as far as picking pin tumblers i doubt it would be much use, key ways a just not as large as on automotive wafer locks. but for sight reading automotive work, it is whats needed.

Woops, had peer plocker running so it was blocking the site, picture works fine.

As for the scope you have I use the same one, the only problem I have with it is the LED isn't a big enough light source and I get a lot of shadows unless I get the scope in the right spot, not really a big problem just me being fussy.

You think it's possible to do a DIY upgrade on the LED to a better quality one? Cos I'm thinking of getting one but debating on between this one and the A1 scope.

[vov35]

I don't have the scope, but it's probably a standard 5mm or 3mm LED... depends on your fine soldering skills, I suppose.

Could someone explain to me what a scope is for, and how to use it?

You can use a scope to read the wafes in some locks, so in turn you can use than infomation to cut a key to work the lock by code. This works great on automotive locks when you are trying to make a key. You can also use this scope to pick locks with. I use a scope all the time on car locks ans safes.
