Just saw this review and wanted to share it with those that may have not seen it. For those of you interested in "safe cracking" Sparrows has a new tool to learn with!

I tried it for just a minute and the dial felt different from a real safe lock. It was not as smooth.
Unfortunately I had no time to play with it. The theory is great and has everything you need to learn manipulation.

Cheers :)

I've played with it at lockCon for a minute. It's a novel product I wish I had an aid like this.
Recently I've spend time on manipulating safes. I've not gotten far but taught me a few tricks.

As you can see from the video it's not very smooth, this is easily fixed but bad quality control..
Another quality control issue: the spline key is in the wrong hole moving the forbidden zone and contact points by 25 numbers.

Its a lagard 3300 series so the lock does feel different than an S&G.

Not a bad deal at 130 bucks but you can get the same lock on a mount from MBA for 105.00 and a big red lock for 75 bucks.
