I got my set of lock picks today in the mail and took another look at my lockwood.

Took out my trusty old paper clip pick and tried picking for 5 mins. The spool pins were keeping me at bay. So I tried my shiny new rake and fumbled around for a minute. The lock popped open. It was mainly luck and playing around with the tension wrench. I'm not satisfied, going to make sure I pick each pin next time.

You could have it open in 30 seconds flat everytime with single pin buddy. Rakings cool.. but i honestly can;t rake anything but a master lock anymore... i just single pin pick.

Yeah I know what you mean. Besides that lockwood, I can't rake any of my other locks with the rake that came with the set. However, for some reason, my safety pin triangle pick rakes really well.

Right now, I'm wondering if I should have stuck to my homemade picks instead of getting the pick set. And the shipping cost was as much as the set, isn't that just stupid.
