What did you pick today?

[JSwistak]

Not exactly a pick, per se - but I pinned my first IC core from scratch and filed operating and control keys for it. They both need a bit of smoothing out on the edges though

Great job! now all you need is a punch, and you'll be set.

Thanks! All I need is a reason to justify the cost of an A2 punch first...lol

If you keep an eye on eBay you can find a used Pak-A-Punch A1 IC best A2 A3 A4 for around $350 or so, lockpicks.com sells a brand new kit for $440 and has free shipping.

Just went through some titaliums a couple times, and got to pick my new duo triple bitted.

Congrats on the DUO Gene! A good challenge, but not so hard once you have a handle on the position of the wafers.

Heres todays pick. Not the hardest lock to pick. But I had fun making the tool for the job.

Very nice, ratlock. Good to see some stuff being added here from the lever-lock side of things.

I got a haul of free locks today, one of which a Brady LOTO lock. I've been wanting one for a while and this was exciting. I didn't know until today these are made by Abus.
It was a challenging pick I had to do twice because I rotated it too far the first time and relocked it haha.
A fun challenge full of spools, glad I got this one.

The rest were Master; 140, 4 No3s, and a 21.

Yes that's a bud light cap I used as a pinning tray. My pinning tray is in the trunk of the car and it's too cold to go fishing for it.

Nice, Gene. It is an ego booster when you get a lock like that.

How long did you work at it?

[OrMeanGene]

I think it was 20mins. I was in my own little world. Huge boost. Funny because i grabbed a yale padlock that was giving me trouble just after, and pop..

Thanks

I may actually have to try that!

Love your attitude.
