right...

that allen-key looks like it needs the end flattened out so it resembles the blade-dege of a screw-driver.

that pick is fine though

BUT!!!! that padlock is a nightmare to pick and I am not suprised you are struggling with it. Papaiz are not the best locks to begin on and there are many better.

GET ANOTHER LOCK!

Unfortunately since you have not supplied the country you live in I cannot advise you further.

I hope this helps
:P

Wait, patience is a virtue,

Were not paid and do this out of our kindness, were not here all the time.

Your lock may have security pins in it, you need to practice a lot and you need to reread the mit guide or read this http://crypto.com/papers/notes/picking/

Yes you set the binding pin first and then look for the next binding pin and set that one.

Let off a bit of tension im sure you may be useing too much, especially with that clod hopper of a wrench.

Yes, the rubber thing that wipes the windsheild.

You can use street cleaner bristles,

Just grind your allen key (the one in your picture) down flat at the end and it will be ok for now.

Worst comes to worse I've even used the metal clip of a pen, just bend it into an "L" shape for an instant tension-wrench.
