Very nice!
Maybe you dad can explain it to you as well, and then you can write more about it.

Cheers

Femurat, if you don't mind, would you post a picture of the whole pick you used to crack the 3ks?
It looks like it would work a lot better than what I am using to pick it. Just a long shaft shallow angle hook.
10 is pretty easy, 12 sliders it becomes exponentially harder haha.

Thanks for the compliments n0n4m3. I did nothing special, just played with the lock for a while.

Well, I wrote a detailed description of my technique in the advanced section... This is a high security lock so I don't know if it's fair to talk about that in the open. But showing or describing a tool should be ok.
In the above picture you see all you need: the pick continues straight. It's just a piece of wiper blade insert, 10 cm long and with a groove on the tip.
I think that a thin and short hook should work fine too, but I prefer my tool. Chriswingate, feel free to pm me if this description is not enough to help you.

Cheers :)

Thanks a lot femurat, that helps, I wasn't sure whether the pick had anything else on the shaft, or handle.
I'll see about crafting a notch into an old pick, or maybe a thin tension wrench. If I get access to the advanced forums I'll be sure to check out your write-up.
See how it compares to how I pick it. Thanks again.

I think that Evva seems to be "not for all" kind of playing! :wink:
