C rake

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

C rake

Postby runnynose » 13 Jan 2005 1:57

it appears ive developed an extremely fast method using the southord c rake. im fairly novice. does anyone else have extremely good times with the c rake? its like i have the freaking key sometmes, and also, i was curious if there is another rake that performs as well, if not better.

ive found the "S" rake quite useful. i too have had great success with the "C" rake and have fallen deeply in love with the "S" rake. my first one i got with my set broke so i ordered about 20 the next day =)

I'm new here but i also like the S rake, i find it works really good for just about any lock.

i don't like rakes, i use the sawtooth rake for jiggling only ( i make all the cuts in the rake equal height and make all the cuts correspond with a 5 pin locks distance between pins so when i jiggle the rake the pins sit in the picks cuts perfectly, then i just jiggle. so far it has opened about 70% of all of my locks that i have tried
