Shaking Your Locks

[dougfarre]

As Rai pointed out - just cause you can hear them shaking doesn't mean anything is actually set.

Be careful with it.

I do occasionally do this myself and have showed it to other people. It's an encouraging sound for a newbie picker, makes you feel good to think you've got something going on in the lock, but of course, your fooling yourself as often as not.

I did mention this right off the bat, if you read my actually read my post.

When picking locks, do you ever shake your lock as a technique to hear and tell if you have picked ---> (or falsely set) <--- pins or not? I feel like i use this technique constantly, but when watching other pickers, I rarely witness this.

Am i a loner?

Don't worry, I try not to come off as a jerk all the time.
