Jigglers

Postby stilte » 4 Oct 2006 7:38

What are the differences between micro, mini, and auto jigglers?

Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm sure all of them can be used to pick wafer locks, but that the micro jigglers are smaller and can get into locks that auto jigglers can't. If that's the case, can auto jigglers fit into desk wafer locks?

Thanks.

they are not picks and from what i've heard are pretty lousy at opening anything.. you'd have better luck with tryout keys

yet the moral of the story is we don't talk about automotive tools in the open forums

Thanks for the quick reply, I knew there were some of you around.

Yeah I know they're not picks, I should have phrased my post better. This is the second time I got misunderstood in the forum. Well, make it the third time. For some reason, the other day locknewbie thought I was opening a lock outside my house in the cold...

I'm not interested in opening auto locks, just wondering what the differences between the jigglers were. Seen a couple of videos of micro jigglers at work on wafers and wanted to try it out. They are more of a novelty item to me.

Thats all they are a novelty item although some lockies do use them regulary,

You obviously need smaller tools for smaller locks, they arent like a pick in that they can simply be moved higher in the lock to manipulate the wafers because they ar ea set tool like a key,

Look at the differant sizes of wafer key you can get and you will understand that an auto lock is bigger than a desk lock for example,
