Full Cirlce or Full Diamond?

Postby LameName » 4 Mar 2005 0:43

Just a small question on peoples preferences towards picks for double wafer locks(with no wards). Im aware that they would both do the same job, but does one do it quicker than the other. Im going to be making a pick(s) for this sort of lock soon, so i just wanted to know.

well i have never tried a double anything yet but i am much more partial to the diamond over the circle. i might even try a hook or rake or paperclip before the circle..

well maybe not the safty pin. that might have been a little bit of an exageration.

i would take the half diamond any day but slightly modified... imagine if you could grab the tip and strech it back a little. so the top point is about 3/4 from the front and 1/4 from the back.

there is my 2 cents :)
What if I pick "Pandora's Box"?
