Be sure to pay close attention to your tensor when picking security pins, go light on the tension, and if the tensor wants to go in reverse, let it, this is the bottom of the spool pushing back at the shear line. if you have difficulty with security pins, I find that a drop or two of light machine oil will take some of that difficulty out. :wink: [/i]

ACE padlock security pins aren't very secure. Such an ACE padlock was the first lock I every picked, and I can get it open now in under 5 seconds. In fact, it wasn't until after I picked it that I found it even had security pins. It's all psychological. If you let the lock intimidate you, you'll never get it open. (wow, that's deep :o)
