Luke,

How does the A-1 compare to the A-5??? Besides the fact the A-1 is about twice the price, and more compact, does it work as well??

It works for me. Some person mentioned something about replacing blades (I was guessing he ment the A5) but I think that is with doing 2-3 doors a day. If you only occasionally need it go the cheap and compact route. Having said that I have never used it for any high security locks etc.. so i dont know if there is even a speed issue etc..

I dunno, i own the same one as you dave, hang on ill get my lockpicks.com catolouge and have a look. Ok
The A1 is a compact plug spinner shaped like a pen. For convienience i guess. I personally wouldn't buy it, my A5 works just fyn. Oh yeh dave if u have the catolouge the A1 plug spinner is on page 17.
