Hi ramsey,

As you are new to this, I'm sure you don't realize just how large a question you have asked. There are many varied opinions on what is good/bad, or otherwise. The important thing is that these opinions have all been given in previous post.

The truth is your question is a common one, one that many people here have seen time and time again. I would urge you to start in the FAQ section of this site and read every announcement and every sticky. Then, if you haven't already, read the MIT Guide to lockpicking.

Also, learn to use the search feature of this website, as it will likely provide you with an answer even faster, and save others from rehashing this same information over and over again.

I hope you enjoy the site,

Happy picking!

I don't flame. :) I always figure that the n00b is allowed one n00b post and one polite corrections. After that, I leave it to all of you to throw the fire.

Yeah, I've been following that one too. I know sometimes fire is the only way, I'm just not the one to throw it. :)

Why the floosey don't we keep on topic...

we are not hear to talk about flaming (but i am)

you may spam in general chatter or have convo's like this on msn, but this is a forum..we do not want it full of SPAM.

Keep on topic (coming from me it is kinda funny)
