This lock may give you hell now but keep at it and it will open.
I find single pin picking a bit of a challange on most Abus padlocks but once you master the snake pick and develop your skill you will find this very useful on a hell of a lot of locks take your time and don't over tension and keep it on and off in a very smooth fashion and remember how a snake moves a kind of slow forward backward motion with a little bit of up and down motion keep your eye on what you are doing and take a visual reading when that shackle pops.
And you should be able to duplicate it time and time again thats how those guys on you tube open locks that quick remember what the 3 Os in the Toool slogan mean "over and over again and again" Good Luck and let us know when you get it open.
ill keep trying it now and again but also look at some other easier locks to build my skills
