A Tribute to Raimundo's Picks and Tools

[fgarci03]

Have you guys found as much use for the single hump bogotas as the triple humps?

I use the single hump to SPP.

But I mean the actual Raimundo tools. The Southord Single Hump is too big for SPP...

Instead of a hook or as an alternative for fun?

The single peak tool is basicly a hook with a ramp in front so it will move both ways easily.

Are the classic bogotas large enough to fit in most locks? Or is it necessary to get minis as well?

Exactly. The Bogotas are walk around tools in their most part. Basically you have a tool for raking and a tool for SPP'ing, although both can be used to rake. With little practice you can SPP locks easily with the Single Hump!

The original Bogotas are small enough for 90% of the locks (and I'm talking about those tight european keyways!). I've only come accross a couple locks that I couldn't use a Bogota in it (I don't mean I've picked ALL of them, but I surely could use the Bogotas in there... The rest is just lack of skill )

New delivery, I am very impressed! There were some pretty unique items here so I just included the whole delivery instead of omitting anything that had already been posted. Thanks, Rai!

Staggered, double-sided Bogota:


Note that they are spread:


Monserattes, Bogota, and Single. They fit together in a single container:


If anyone has ever thought about trying out any of Rai's work, I'd definitely recommend doing so. Thanks, Rai!

Those look amazing! I only managed to score a few sets of classic Bogotas before Rai closed the books on new orders

Sorry, I'm new to this forum. Is Raimundo no longer accepting orders for his hand made picks?

not sure, you can PM him and see if he is making picks at this time.
