[questions]

been with this forum for a bit. Hardly post cause i read all the stickies and search before trying to ask a question. But, yeah, that set will do you a whole lot better. I got the stainless steel 14 piece set. It does my needs and if i need anything else, i'll just make it myself. As far as euro locks using slimline, have no clue, never came across a need or seen a euro lock as i've just begun this hobby.

The top pins may have dropped down into the bottom of the plug if I understand your plight correctly.
