The bench my plastic paddy friend talks about here is not what you all suppose here he is actually refering to what he sleeps on each night in various parks in Cambridge.
Shaun what you didnt realise is that Chris shakes like that when hes sober so this was not unusal at all.
As for that"classy establishment" i think ive commented on here re this before but im afraid it may appeal to you young whippersnappers but Chris and i are old (dont forget Roger didnt even make it through the door!) ,we appreciate music ,of which was sadly lacking in there, and some of those barmaids were rough mate .I also take acception to men taking their t shirts off in pubs too ,perhaps thats why you stayed?

i have the one that is able to pick union and legge locks

all in all pretty avergae pick - have not yet been able to pick old legge yellow case once but have been able to do many union locks

the quality of materials i would say is pretty average to - nothing exciting really all mild steel with a aluminium body that is held together by allan key grub screw. The srews dig in to the mild steel inner tube if tightened to much.
Which is a problem as it falls apart if both screws are not held together against the shaft snuggly.
Had to file the little stump inorder for it to fit into legge lock as it was milled incorrectly

the safeventures tool , the rb tool and the chris belcher picks are all of a much higher quality construction and more versatile, and remarkably cheaper too to buy.

just ordered the cb tool half hour ago - got an email asking for payment details form Duffell's

i see you mentioned that you open 110's with it - so i thought i had better give it a try

if you email chris , he will give you some great pointers on picking this lock with it, its not easy but with practice is more than do-able.
The guys have had this as a little project over past months, to pick the 110 in under an hour on the bench, a few have succeeded posting times from 10 minutes to 2 hours for the 110.

its possible to pick the 110 with just 2 wires , but al is amongst just a few guys i know who can achieve good times this way.

And sadly NO chris nor duffels sell picks to non trading locksmiths.
