I just opened Abus 65/40 and Burg Wachter-Karat in under 10sec with my pickgun :shock: :D I've had this gun about 2 or 3 weeks now but I havent really liked/used it cauce I had a hard time trying to open some normal padlocks with it.. I think i'll start to use it now and practice until I can open all my pin-locks with it :)

How on earth do you manage to open a padlock with a pick gun?

You must have three hands. :D

Hold the lock in one hand and use the finger that is next to your thumb and use tension and the other hand operates the gun bingo. Takes some practice and it will work. :D

Pickguns, great lil' buggers, but killers... Evil little things, they should be all executed. But anyway, generally a light tension on the wrench and snapping away with low torque on the gun as well is successful, if nothing is acceived, then snap and a milisesecond after snap on the tension.
