Looks similar in function to the Sputnik picking tool for pin tumbler locks.

hiatused surface? uh huh, this thing sounds like a electric turkey carving knife, with parts of the blade on haituses.

that said, one of my old attempts at a medeco pick was two side by side .010" ful depth rakes that counter operated to twist the pins, while also encouraging them to move upward, The concept was created but never fully tested. Its still around in a box somewhere.

Its would strike odd.. that a pick that seems perfect to open a modern medeco would be laying in a box. Perhaps it was another pathetic attempt.

-So what was the name of that book?

Funny I got a gift from the family a couple weeks ago.. yes its an electric turkey knife. I havent even taken it out of the box yet but I might have to give the turkey knife a second chance to prove its usefullness.
