Hi Everyone,
Just here to report an interesting incident recently. I've recently acquired a pair of tubular lock picks (a 7 pin & an 8 pin) to sate my curiosity about how the locks work. The same day I bought the picks, I went over to my local lock shop to pick up some practice locks. There were plenty of 7 pin locks to choose from, but oddly enough, no 8 pins. I asked the gentleman behind the counter if they had any. He proceeded to ask around, and came back with an interesting answer: They don't exist.
Just to make sure I wasn't completely hullucinating, I asked a few people in the know (including our resident guru, Shrub) about it. They all confirmed that the 8 pin tubulars do exist, and the poor soul behind the counter got some bad information.
