are there any videos showin someone using a cb pocket pick. is very fiddly t use. i've got one but havin a few teethin problems. ahhhhhhhh. just lettin out a bit of tension pardon the pun. would be grateful of any help. read loads of posts but it seems info on this type of pickin is much harder t get than cylinder pickin. i know what ya gonna say, practice practice practice, and i am, just don't seem t be gettin anywhere with it.
thanks in advance

it realy is just practice, along with studying and developing an understanding about the lock you seek to pick. there are no short cuts ! strip the lock down, study it, look at its weaknesses and strengths, understand how it works, this is the only way to succeed.

as to videos, no one in their right mind will put videos of picking bs locks on an open forum, its just not the done thing.

so more practice and develop an understanding, many spend months even years developing their skill, it wont happen overnight and by watching a video, it happens by putting in hours and hours at the bench, and dependent on your own ability, it can take weeks , months or years to develop.

They are really classed as high security locks and should only really be discussed in the advanced section but those of us that regulary use them and are fighting for a NDE industry we do tend to give a lot of typed help out to new people starting up on the public forums but as pinky said a video is really going to far.

If it gets to the point of really struggleing its time to start thinking about doing a bit of training with a reputable firm to know how to use it but as said for you to actually do it its not a quick process but that feeling when you first pop one is far better than any cylinder can give you.
