Ya sorry about that, I didn't realize that I still had those pictures in when I made the html code on photobucket so they were in there. That "guy" is me....lol... and the other is my bike. I need to find a way to get video and then post it, will be on that shortly, first I still have to download pictures from my camera to my computer and send them in so that I can start (hopefully) my own L.I. chapter down here in florida. I will get it up here shortly.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Dont use youtube,

Photobucket is your friend, upload up to 5 min videos for an unpaid for account,

You can link it on here and its secure and you can remove it when you want if needbe,

So you went and unlocked SlingsVaqueros the other day lol thats pretty cool, i hope none of my customers come on here lol

ok shrub, on your advice I used photobucket. I am sorry that there is no sound to the video, I had MAD problems trying to make it. I had to use an old web cam and then for some reason it wanted to make the audio a second file. Anyways, this is a video of the pumpkin carver in action. I am opening a comercial grade master lock with it. (the lock has a black stripe instead of blue, and says commercial on it). I know it is just a master lock, but this is just so you can see how it works. I will be buying a digital camcorder soon and have better quality videos shortly. As you can see, it basically becomes another form of a pick gun. Let me know what you guys think, and enjoy!

Thats quite good that,

You will have to be very very careful just how much this damage's the lock,

With no sound and the grainy pics it was hard to tell but did you turn the pick on and rake it until it opened?

If so try cycleing the trigger, i know its not like a EPG but it may help open the lock a lot quicker,

Also this may load a bit quicker for those on dialup,

sorry about the quality, I will have a better cam soon. No, I didn't just leave it in there going willy nilly, lol. I cycled it just like I do my other EPG's. The reason it was there for a while was I was actually narating(is that how you spell it?) the video and paused to say exactly that. That this is just like any EPG in the way you use it and not to just let it run in the lock because then it has the effect of a sawzall and will damage your lock. It usually will open a lock that can be raked (and some that I can't rake but this works on) in about 3-5 seconds. When I get a better cam I will post more video. But all in all, this little jem(under 10 bucks) will open a lot of locks that my other epg's have problems on, just like they work on locks this one has trouble with. It is just another weapon in my arsenal of lock picking gadgetry.

Ah well thats all great then as you obviously know the score on the damage front,

Im sure places like the card shops over here would do somthing like these but weve another 6 months to wait lol

also as a side note:

If and when you buy one of these, don't throw away the blades that it comes with. The "handles" are good for having a few interchangable picks for it with out pulling out the pliers, just click in a new pick and go. Also the material that they make the carvers out of is actually pretty good Stainless Steel stock, so you can use them to make you own rakes on the handle, or to make some new picks. I still have a hook and a rake I made out of these carvers from 2004 and they still work. I know that this is probably a un-needed note here as most of you are probably like me and see picks in every piece of steel you see, but you never know when a newbie will buy one and throw them away, and then kick themselves in the arse later.
