cb picks

[0161 locksmiths]

i dont post many messages on this site but i have to say after spending quite alot of money on various picks and lookie tools over the last 18 months the best tools and value for money have to be the cb pocket picks i ordered them the other week and had them delivered to me.at first they are quite difficult to get to grips with but even after just a week of pratice ive opened various makes of bs locks im not the best by any means at picking locks as i am very heavy handed but with these picks im well suited.i also have to say the backup from cb himself is second to none.

agreed..excellent quality and very efficient, although re locking with them if gate drops is pretty tough!

hi
cb picks are a nice pick to use in my opnion.
you need to master light tension to get the best from them and they will open most of the bs mortice locks you are likly to come across the only limit to the tools seems to be you.
re locking can be tough as jax said
cb is one of the nicest men you can talk to and as you have said aways seems willing to help with tips. the back up with this pick is great they are also made very well.
ive used a few picks and before i got my CB picks i used the MF ones. but in my opinion the CB's works much better. but remember each to their own if you get chance to tryout picks the go for it there is the perfect pick out there for everyone. the holy grail that suits your style and with practice locks fall open for you

The CB pick is a superb tool and the most versatile and reliable pick ive used to date, in fact since getting it and using it, a beard is forming and i get the urge for a pipe and telling stories starting " during the war "

cb picks rock.

Please excuse my ignorance, what are CB picks and where can they be located, thanks.

[jdeacon]

The CB pick is a compact and subtle curtain pick. It's described at:

for example.

It can be bought from M. E. Duffell:

opened older era bs red case on site in less than a minute!!!!!!!!!
couldn`t believe it......more luck than judgement probably, but it certainly breeds confidence......i`ve been sceptical with the feel of some of these picks but chris`s is spot on........

[bonez]

way to go jax
same as found the red case one's easier to open?

[pinky]

theres very little between the red case and the other case colurs, or the old and new.
Treat the same, run wire gently across the lever pack and swiftly id the high and low lifts, and pick accordingly, its quite easy to feel the differences betwen false and true gates, so is a quick pick on all era once you have distinguished the high and low lift levers.

those nice chaps at era gotta love em not changing their locks for years i cannot wait to get my hands on the new fortress one

[Shrub]

The fortress needs a smaller pick as its somthng like a 6G its got very sharp false notches as well, im struggleing a bit at the moment to be honest.
