Looking through that site but can't find any real internal operational details about it. Wonder whats so special about it?

Got it this morning and had picked it half hour later,

pretty easy once you sort the magnetic pin out.

I used a southord half diamiond as its stainless and doesnt pull the magnet out when your picking.

magnet i filed to size to fit perfectly over the front pin chamber

over-rated lock really but good in terms of destructive opening

just realised i have the mk1.

the mk2 has the magnetic pin further back in the cylinder and looks to have an extra telescopic pin
