well, I only see 2 listed, but I prefer to pick against spools, as they have such an obvious signal and the method to work past them is something I've developed well enough now.

I'm not as comfortable picking against spools, but the theory is simple enough.

i voted mushrooms but would have chose spools if you'd put it on the poll.
you get a lot more feedback than with serrated pins.

Individually they are not too difficult once you get the hang of bypassing them. But mix them together and you can be in for a headache with some locks. It can be extremely annoying as well with Medeco locks that uses mushroom drivers you have to bypass along with the bottom pins which needs to be rotated.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

Ive voted to lock this thread due to the very poor title, poor subject,

Listen and i say this kindly, you havent found a loop hole that lets you off searching, its true some people cant stop themselves from entering the polls but to make a poll doiesnt hide the fact your too lazy to search,

Search, these thread types stop here, pointless polls clutter the site up especialy when you have to actually go in and read the thread to find out what its about,
