and seriously, eyes_only, how stupid can you be?

Well you do seem like someone who likes to speak frankly, so ...

First, your "pictures" are rubbish, I have a cat that would do a better job.

Second, It's a perfectly valid question to ask as to which lock you plan on using the shims on as not every padlock will open using shims.

Third, shims to a lockpicker are at the lowest end of the scale, something you could train a monkey to do for half a banana :-)

I see it as somewhere between bumping and bypass. Well it technically is bypass.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture
