the A-1 will out perform all in speed and torque. in fact if your not careful you can break tails pieces
with the A-1.



Agree......Two thumbs up on the A-1 spinner

I have used the A-1 for decades. My only complaint, it's a knuckle buster
if you don't use it correctly.

I recently bought a peterson plug spinner that I'm very happy with. The design allows for replacement of the spring and tip. The mount for the tip is very simple and new tips could be fabricated very easily. While it isn't the cheapest I think it is one of the better made / serviceable units.

I got a Chinese (KLOM) plug spinner and it works just as great. Comes with various small tips and to be honest, I love it.

I bought this one off aliexpress.com http://www.aliexpress.com/item/FREE-SHIPPING-KLOM-Plug-Spinner-best-plug-spinner-on-the-market/768161640.html?s=p It works great for $20 never had an issued and its worked 100% of the time for me. I just need to find an attachment for a bump key or make one somehow and it will be perfect.

I like my HPC Flip-It, it does need a squirt of spray lubricant every once in awhile, but it rarely lets me down

If anyone is looking for a cheap plug spinner to add to their kit,

http://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?fsb ... ug+spinner

They aren't by any means the greatest quality... but they are very cheap and will get the job done. I've been very thankful I paid $5 when dealing with a frustrating lock that I spent 20 or so minutes trying to pick unlocked, and said screw it and reversed my tension. Plug spinners are definitely worth it if you're ever in a position where you NEED to get a lock open.

I'm a fan of the Peterson plug spinner. Attachments available and the spring is replaced easily.

I have the chinese Klom bought online for $20. Dont leave home wiyhout it. Especially handy to not lose pick work when in that not so infrequent instance you have to pick in opposite direction due to slop in the lock or tight pick approach due to lock position on the door.
