What is your favorite pick(s)?

I think I tried that and thought it was just showing up as the url with youtube in brackets but not really working but I will have to try it again next time I post something thanks man. Did you check out the video/try those techniques with that pick? I was almost tempted to try to rake it twice in the video that was exceptionally fast rake(I think I set some on the way in accidentally because I might of gone across the pins twice max) but I figured if I tried again might struggle badly or something so carried on to zipping which ended up taking a lot of tries

I think you have a different pick there in the video than the one I have in that picture. But I tried that pic from your video and it does work well as a quick rake.

Testing - it works. I think it might not be working for you because your URL is youtube.be I think it is setup to only accept youtube.com

****.... yes that is correct I thought (going left to right) the first monstrum one was the same but looking there now I see that it is not. I was super excited too
You're brilliant! Nice picking too.. is there spools in that one at all? Works like a charm for your video. Im gonna try again
edit: took the quote out realized one i took your video out it was mostly me quoting you quoting me

What am I missing here? lol

There may be a spool or two. It's hard to tell if its a spool or if the tension is just really tricky. I lean more towards tricky tension because even though I do have to let off tension for a sec, I don't feel any counter rotation.

In the URL after watch?v=Axl2jnQyG4o there should be nothing else after the watch numbers. No & and other junk.

It should be like this

Code: Select all

I hope nobody sees the mess I've made of this thread hahaha thanks for your help thought man.

Format: rake

Maker: Southord

Name: Bogota, don't know the technical name

Why I like it: it can open cheap padlocks in a matter of seconds if I'm lucky. That's why it's nicknamed the wizard, but me at least.

I mostly spp european locks with somewhat tight keyways.

Southord short hook suits for 80% or the locks I pick. Good for tight keyways.
The rest of the locks usually need longer hooks (like Peterson gem, HPC hook or some deforest hook).

For larger keyways I prefer longer and/or heavier picks such as Petersons (short hook/gem/deforest) or Southord max (usually medium hook 08B or short 07B).

All my other picks seem to see use very rarely but when I need a special tool that you happen to have (like Peterson slims) I really like to have some more selection available.
