Combination Practice Lock

[UEXplorer]

I think I benefited tremendously from the pin tumbler practice lock. I see now this practice "combination lock" - its here:

Has anyone purchased this? If so, did it actually help you learn? Does it provide instructions? I'm not interested in breaking and entering and I see people are often accused of that around here. I just want to learn to "compromise" combination locks. Also, if this works how come no one recommends it to guys like this:

Really, I'm also looking for a break. I'm getting blisters on my hand from using my picks to much, and spinning a dial seems much less strenuous. I don't care how long it takes to open the lock - since I'm not trying to break into a location it simply does not matter


Thats right - it doesn't matter,

Why not make your own see through combination lock. Go out and get a few Master brand combination locks. Your local high school gym teacher may have quite a bunch that students have left over the years without a combination. Ask, and you may receive. Anyway, just Dremel off the back cover, its very thin soft steel. If you dont already own a Dremel style tool, one would be a very very useful investment for any locksports enthusiast.

Where can I get a Dremel style tool? Thanks for the information, Chucklz. I'd still like to know if there are any combination pickers out there who can answer those other questions in post #1.


Thanks,

Any old hardware store should be fine. Be sure to spring for the name brand one, if you can afford it -- it shouldn't be that much cheaper.

Also, what the heck are you doing that you're getting BLISTERS from picking? That's crazy.

my thumb is getting rather sore no blisters yet but it can be a painfull hobby LOL.

When you get your dremel tool, you probably want to pick up a little tube of cutting wheels for it. It's very annoying to break your last one right when you need it. In the US Sears makes a very nice tool thats relatively inexpensive.
