For Â£185 I could buy a Dyson to suck up the drill swarf! :lol:

sounds like lockdrilling 101 ?? or maybe lock trashing is us.

No not a dyson

You could buy yourself a nice little Dewalt Cordless Hover to go with your Drill

by **EvoRed** » 5 Jan 2005 8:33

Dewalt cordless hoover...nice! Would it fit on my Makita?!

Oh Pinky, I knew this talk of the drill would make you break out in a cold sweat! We're talking 'last resort' here...aren't we?!

Seriously though, I couldn't justify that amount of money for a puller when, as a last resort, I could just pick up my drill with the same result.

Here here !!

so Evo put your drill away !!

I don't really drill anyway, like yourselves I'm sure, but I really can't justify spending Â£185 or E100 or however much it costs on a puller to yield the same destructive result!

Evo i bet you can justify it when you come across some hardened top pins that dont want to be drilled. I myself would love one as you could use it on high end padlocks that have removable cores, but funds dont allow it at the moment. If i had one of these when i tackled that chubb conquest i could of had it open in no time and kept the padlock in use by replacing the core. As it was i couldnt even drill the thing as these harden pins killed my drill bits, hardplate and normal hss. I know they use these in some euros as a builder friend of mine tried drilling one and it had a hardened one in the first and 3rd positions so he snapped the drill bit off in the hole he made. He was lucky as i just got the snapper on it but if it was flush it could have been a different story.

It's another tool to have - just in case.

Does it come with plates for both oval and Euro profiles ?. The documentation on the site mentions only Euro and Round (does this = oval ?).

Rockford.....

by **captainsawdust** » 5 Jan 2005 17:09

yes it does and round means OVAL !!

like the multi pick system , i think it is overpriced, but is a good tool to have in your arsenal , as toomush says, there will come a time that you wish you had one. yes its destructive, but on the right job its a handy addition to your van.

when you are talking chubbs etc then unless you are al or an equal then as a mere mortal you aint picking that sucker, then its handy to have, certainly more proffessional than the angle grinder.

for info, im selling one if anybody wants one to add to their collection ...

details on sell/buy thread ....

will it work well on multi-t-locks? thought about getting one the more kit you have the more success you will have especially on the higher security euros.

Very true. If finances aren't a consideration then you might as well get every locksmithing tool available, for every possibilty, as would I. If money is an issue then you have to judge what's worth the money and what isn't, which isn't easy...

just ordered the bell puller set from multipick, will post my thoughts on this set when iv'e had a go with it.It sounds like a good bit of kit to have especialy for the high security locks.
