Not having to talk to the wife???? Yeah, it aint so bad sometimes  .
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

It's only your fault because she wants you to believe its your fault.

Penn Jillette- I've been saying aloud I was an Atheist since I was about 16. My parents still made me go to sunday church group until I was asked to leave for creating more Atheists.

OK, you definitely don't want to rake the wife. Pin set, carefully, each pin. One at a time, you'll know when they're set. It'll be worth it. When the tension is released and the plug turns...magic.

Nothing is so embarrassing as watching someone do something that you said couldn't be done.

I always find that so odd. I Find i notice a difference when i use a long SO tension Wrench or have to use 2 on a wide key way. i can feel the difference and don't like it. guess its just what ur used 2.
