Either that, or you have REALLY poor luck...

When I fenced, I broke two (2) Uhlmann epee blades because of defects in the metal. Keep in mind that Uhlmann's are the Falle's of fencing equipment, less that .5% defective. I got two from 2 different places at 2 different times.....

lol dont feel bad, i just got my picks a few days ago, i tried to pick the lock on the pateo doors and got the tension wrench stuck lol i just jiggled it a little and it came out. also i managed to rake the lock all the pins were set, the plug span round up to a point where it was a little tough, i pushed hard on the tension wrench and it bent it out of shape lol, i got a strong screwdriver to turn it and it worked.

today i picked the small abus padlock on the freezer (where we store all the iced cream stock), by raking it, i was soo chuffed, it took me less than 10 sec, i think it was 'warded' but the 'ward' only made it easier fo me to lock the tension wrench in. So after i picked it i went to the manager and said 'look! someone has forgot to lock the freezer!!' hehehehehe.

tomorrow i try to pick the small wafer lock on the towel machine in the gents hehehe :lol:
