I don't know what this guy was talking about, I find that different picks or rakes work better on some locks than others, also, tension wrench designs also make a difference to me, sometimes one is better than another. I probably am just getting tired I guess, maybe thats why I am having a hard time, I should slow down a tad and not pick as much all at one time. thanks for the advice guys, It sorta confirmed what I was thinking as well.
I guess it's all a matter of preference, like golfers and their clubs.
I only use 2-3 picks but I've had those experiences where I have used those 2-3 to no avail and put in another one only to find that it opens the lock in the first few tries.
Whatever your case may be, don't go by others. You're your own picker and you know whats best for you.
