What is the most common tool used in the speed picking contest for the pin-tumblers? if a rake - what kind of rake exactly.. and maybe some records and type of locks picked -- i would like to see the times to beat..

Thanks

Any standard tools (ie: non-mechanical/electric) are allowed. In other words, you may rake, single pin pick, use profile picks, etc.

Cheers,

my question was who actually won the last one - and what did they use? do they have a page somewhere with the results?
