dear <diety of your choice> I hope you don't talk in the same manner you write.

wafer locks work well with ball or doubleball picks... but most anthing that fits in the lock will pick it

as for tension it depends on the picker, the lock and the mechanism it's connected to... in other words there is no way of knowing without having you hand on the lock...

also note DO NOT PICK LOCKS THAT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE RELIES ON.

a lock is being relied on if it does anything other then exist for you to pick... as per how much tesion that is something for self exploration

I don't have any wafer locks but want some, im guessing id use the ball pick. As for what pick to use on a pinned lock, half hook or hook as a preference, but anything but the ball pick works (i cant pick a thing with it)

Ball pick for Wafer Locks
&

this is gona sound dumb but wah

Excuse me sir? Superior? Check your place, Do I look like a moderator? Surely not, I may have a high post count, but like anyone else if I over step my boundaries I will surely be booted from here.

Your question is Diffrent tools are for diffrent locks. To learn you read.

You'll notice my quote. This is a forum where people from all over the world meet to discuss there intrest in locks. As redundant as it may sound, usage of street lingo, or therwise trash language i here everyday next to a city, could infact offend some people.

If this is to much to comprehend, if you cannot talk like a normal person, like the quote, what? would be the proper word. Some may not understand this and be confused.


If you cannot accept this, then leave. You'll find no help with such lashings at people for making a clear observations of poor language. My typing is horrible, and sometimes I forget my plae and use innapropiete language, am I offfened? Feel liek there racist? No, I accept I am a guest and deal that it's life, and I am not God.

And your telling me i cant spell .. Im not here for arguments , but to deeper my knowledge of lockpicking. i asked a simple question above ur statement ^^ but u had to be difficult and reply with a negative attitude. all i wanted was a answer, not a lecture my friend.

and i called noone a rasict, stop putting words in mouth ur iggnorant person.
