Tubular locks are not really very different in many respects to regular pin-cylinder locks. I also have one of those tools too, but often find them about as easy to pick and more fun with a simple pick and torsion tool. The torsion tool needs to be a good fit to the square notch, and you can use anything that is small enough for the pick.
Normally if you cannot pick a lock of this type that you have done in the past, it is because you are being too rough or using too much force.

I recently bought a Southout tubular lock pick set, (the set with both the 7 and the 8 pin picks, TPXA-78 )
Once i got it, i read the instructions and also watched a min long video on how to use it from the company i bought it. So i went to try it out on one of my little tubular locks. Much to my amazement it opened first try. I then locked it up again and tryed again.. with no sucess...over and over. I tryed different locks so its not that lock. It must be the way im doing it.
I just can seem to grasp the idea of how to use it, i was wondering if someone from this forum could tell me how it works inside the lock to open, and any advice on how to use it properly ect ect
I dont really understand the tension part either, like how much i need.
Thanks All in advance
