what's special about the Dyno Quick Pick??

[BeatOfficer]

Hi, i am still new to to this site. I have been reading some adds for the Dyno Quick Pick. I was curiuos what made it so specail that "even a person with no lock picking skills" can use it.

From the picture it looks like a basic C rake pick wedged into a blue tube.

Any info would be help help full.

There is nothing really special about it. Just an overpriced pick and tension tool combo imho.

Its a marketing ploy. I have heard of retail outlets such as Harbor Freight stores, carrying them at checkout like an impulse item. They are basing it on raking being considered a less skilled aspect of lock manipulation ("stick it in and rake it a few times you may get lucky")

Although I agree the Kwikpick is an overpriced one-trick pony, it is actually a very good rake for most common locks (like Master padlocks, home Kwicksets and filing cabinet wafer locks). Plus, because of its size it is hard to misplace (handy if you keep it in a crowded drawer).

Since I suckered into buying it early on (before I realized that you could buy/make much better tools) I leave it in my office at work in case the odd filing cabinet/padlock key gets misplaced. It has allowed me to be the hero at the ready several times since my regular picks are usually kept offsite.

The Kwikpick makes raking seem like a skilless technique. This is rather unfortunate, as raking can be developed into a rather complex and highly successful technique.

You might also notice the Kwik Pick in the upper lefthand corner of all pages on this site. It is the blue tuby device.

but....is it different then the avg. pick. If yes, how so

[WhiteHat]

it's the same except for the handle, the fact that the pick retracts, and that it looks cool. oh, and nic cage used it to start elenore....

that's it - apart from that it is the same as a standard snake rake from southord...
