Loto 410 advice

Postby ZriePrakis » 10 Nov 2021 22:23

G'day, all!

So, attempting to advance my skills. Last lock repeatably picked was an ACE 50mm. Not super hard, but challenging. I wanted to move up and purchased a Master 410 LOTO. I know this is obvious, but these things are really difficult. The bitting I have on this is no joke, either. Any advice for getting an open on this?

Thanks!

Be ready for spool pins. Pay attention to your tension wrench. If you are lifting a pin and it tries to turn the tension wrench backwards, then you have a spool pin there.

Thanks! Just not getting the feedback I expect and am having a hard time not oversetting that front pin. Hopefully will have some luck soon!
