He uses 2


Did you know Einstein also pissed his pants regularly while giving lectures. Just thought you would like to know.

I don't know about anyone else, but after doing it twice i think i would stop giving lectures...

Then again the man did invent the nuke which ended one war and stopped the cold war ever really happening. so I think we can give him the benefit of the doubt.

Oh and he may have used 10% of his brain but he "only" had an IQ of 160. hawking is 200 and the highest ever was 238. ;)

Easily once you have the tension right. light tension and feel for the spools. they are a good entry to spool pins. very light tension and you can feel them pushing back in this lock. push to hand and it feel like they are already set.

After opeing in it a few times and getting the tension right you should be opening these locks in under a minute every time.

THATS how the hell we open them.

Basically you will feel them pushing back on the cylinder when you try and raise them. have a search there are lots threads describing it in better detail than im going to on a thread about something else.

you have had the answer to this question in a previous thread, are you too lazy to even read the thread? :x

you expect everyone else to do the searching for you and still you ask the same questions.

lift the pin, if you feel the plug pushing to turn back release tension and lift till you hear a click.

You will often drop other pins doing this. thats what makes it fun. its all about getting the tension right. for a more in depth description check this link

all the best
