wait I found this
• Again, we have designed a very simple looking tool yet retains the originality of a reversible pick for left and right mounted locks.
• For those of you who have been using the CB RPCP – you’ll find this very easy to use.
• Manipulating with the same light-handed techniques , you’ll surprise even yourselves.

I've got my one
It took me a little while to get used to it, especially with keeping the right section in the curtain but it soon clicks into feeling natural. So far I've used it to pick an ERA Viscount, Asec / Legge BS04, Chubb 3U115 and a Chubb 3G114 (not the E version yet). I've had a go at a 3G110 but unsurprisingly got pretty much nowhere - but that's my (lack of) skill and not the pick!
It's not been used 'on the door' yet but it will be soon I'm sure. The main reason I've not used it so far is using a P&C for speedy entry due to the rain! Although saying that, first time with the CB MG pick, the Viscount did open in around 1min.

The feel is excellent - once the pick has been used for a little while. It is quite sensitive to too much tension but that's a good thing in my mind, being very gentle with it does help success rates enormously.

I believe theres also other ways you can use the tool as well that are being found out as we speak but this isnt the time nor place to speak of those and in addition i dont them

to add to that the old bs legge and new bs legge with the mg wire, the fortress with the mg wire and the F wire (the F wire is better for this ), the E series chubb, era inviceable new and old , era profit, a 8 gauge wicks, a euro spec easy T, union bs.
its another exelent tool froom the CB stable
well done chris and suzzie

I smile when people moan about the price of this bit of kit. Look at the saving over buying the range of pocket picks, and I should be selling those and getting just this one!
Of course, I'll simply buy this one as well, eventually. Well, ok, in about 3 days time!
