Dyno Kwick Pick -- does it work?

by **majhimujhuko** » 11 Feb 2008 1:37

I did a forum search and couldn't find anything about it, but I was wondering if the Dyno Kwick Pick actually works. I'm not concerned about "spending more money than I need to" like I had read elsewhere, I'm just wondering if it does work as advertised.

Please and thank you

It is basically a snake rake in the form of a pen. It isnt all the hype as the advertisers make it to be. You are better off getting a small basic pick set that will run you the same price. A basic pick set will do far more and include the same snake pick that is in the Dyno kwik pick. If you are tight on cash buy a diamond pick and short hook with a few tension wrenches. Those two picks alone will serve you much better. The Dyno pick will open a small majority of locks with the same ease as a single snake pick or diamond. It will be more of a luck thing. I wouldn't recommend it or purchase it.

No mate. as said its a glorified rake. It was used in gone in 60 seoconds when cage steals the Shelby mustang in the end.. I can assure you the tool is to thick and has looks but no workin abilitity to back it up.

Good tools will not be cheap, but You can by crap like southord, or lockpick tools .com's stuff for a while.

All the videos I see on youtube and junk show people using raking to open a masterlock in under 10 seconds, is there any credibility to that? Or are you recommending diamonds and hooks for a different reason?

There are many types of rakes and many types of locks. Master locks are not the greatest. You can rake them with a diamond just as easily. Raking a lock open is a sloppy way of picking a lock. You can rake a lock with a number of different picks. If you want my recommendation save your money because the DYNO pick is cheap. The pick is not a high quality steel and will not last very long. I can tell you are set on purchasing a pocket pick, as most people are for there first pick, but I would say resist the urge buy a small quality pick set and learn the art. A quality pick set will last you years and hold up to the wear and tear of learning. You will only be able to rake open the cheap master locks with the Dyno, and the newer ones are more resistant to raking. I have bought a lot of the pocket picks on the market years ago. They are all crap and more of a novelty item. Yes they will work on certain locks, but they will not work on the majority of locks you will encounter. I consider them more of an emergency backup.

Site search is a litle bit defective, so because of that you didn`t find anything.
Next time use google search, enter key word and then type site:www.lockpicking101.com

Oh I didn't really have my mind set on anything, I was open to suggestions

I really appreciate all the help, guys

I'll definitely have to take a look around.

I think the Dino pick itself is made out of aluminum and bends very easily. I've owned a couple and was my very first pick tool I bought. Worked ok on small padlocks like Masters but like LN21 said, its very thick and is difficult to maneuver it around on locks with tighter keyways. Really is more of a novelty item than a effective and dependable tool.

The Dyno pick is made out of stainless steel the body is made out of aluminum. I think it is a great rake when compared to the southord rake. It is a high quality rake and it is overpriced. If I were to rate it on a scale from 1 to 10 1 being the lowest and ten being the highest I would give it an 8. The only problem I had with it excluding the price is the screw that retains the pick can get loose after heavy use but if you put some threadlocker on the screw it seems to fix that problem.

Ya... What he said. PLUS, my 5-piece SouthOrd pick set fits very nicely in my pocket. For that matter, my PXS-17 does too although 3-4x as thick.

SouthOrd are not the best picks you can buy but, they are very nice to start out with and as a matter of fact, that is all I have right now and I've opened everything in my videos with them.
