ok auto locks are a lot more expensive to get the tools for. we do not discuss opening them for good reason. im not accusing you of anything but those are the forum rules

The rules are no automotive discussion outside of the advanced forums. The subject needs to change or this thread will be locked.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the picks. I have a set very similar if not identical to that one from SouthOrd, and I get on quite well with them. I have found that I have more success with them since I've sanded them down a little to get the burrs off. You can trash the brass handle or use it as a paperweight or whatever, but it's no good on the picks. I filed the allen wrench into a tiny torque tool. If you find that the picks hurt your skin, you can get the plastic slip-on handles also from SouthOrd or you can get some plasti-dip or heat shrink or formed foam handles to make the picks more comfortable.

Seriously, you'd be better off with scotch tape over that brass handle. If you're really curious about it, I'll spend the money in shipping it across the pond just so you can verify how big a piece of crap it really is (assuming I can find it).

I realize I went way overboard on that. Good talking to you John, I've always appreciated your input on these forums. I'll let this thread get back on topic though.
