Does anyone here use double diamond or figure 8 picks?

[pjzstones]

i've used a double and single ball on car locks. i guess that'd be a doouble sided wafer but they've worked on a ford f-250 too which is a pin tumbler.

i like to use them on wafer tumbler locks with a fal style wrench

I've heard the double ball be called a snowman, as it looks like one. I was googling "double diamond picks" as I can't find anymore. Ran into this thread. Great pick, Works great on the Medeco as you have the ability to not only raise or lower the pin, but you can rotate as well. Picked my first Medeco about 20+ years ago. Anyone know of a source for the double diamond?

As far as I can tell, no one sells diamond or double diamond picks. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if Klom makes one, but I didn't see one in my brief search. I've seen a diamond before, but never a double.

Think what you are calling a double diamond is what some call a batarang.

There is a specific tool that was supposedly made to pick Medeco locks that has two picks side by side and a wheel on the handle which, when rotated, moves one of the picks beside the other. It was supposed to rotate the pins. More a gimick than anything. Have one that was given to me a while back, but never opened a Medeco with it.

Been too long since I saw this pick. Dug it out so I could take some pics. There are not two blades. Just the one that is moved forward and backward by rotating the wheel.



And instructions/information that comes with this marvelous, high quality tool that opens locks merely by displaying the pick. (snicker, snicker).

I can't believe someone owns one of these things in real life. I wonder if this was made by the same guys who made the electric one with dual reciprocating L-rakes back in the early 70's. that's real cool GW, real cool.

What can I say? BS is not all I'm full of.

One of those things that it seems like it should be a good idea, but falls flat of expectations, I guess.
Squelchtone - I kinda "invented" that product a few days back, not realising that it was already a thing. I figured that if a bogota works so well as a rake, what about two half-width bogotas pinned together at a 1-length offset, actuated back and forth by an electric motor to quickly zip the pins. Sounds like a similar idea, no? Apparently it's a bust though

Klom makes a split pick, with a diamond on each side. I have picked a couple of double sided auto locks with mine

I saw that one, but I was thinking more along the lines of a diamond version of the ball or snowman picks.
