Your picks?

[ian]

Hi!
An open question:
What type of picks will you use in the contest?

I will only use a half hook, half diamond, snake and a rake.

I think it's a matter of whatever works on the lock at (in) hand.

Last year for the speed contest, I primarily used a very thin snake, but I switched to a half diamond for the padlock in round 3.

I think my favorite is the 1/4 diamond. With very light pressure on the wrench, it works well as a raking pick for locks that have grooved or mushroomed pins. I also tend to use it as a half hook for feeling separate pins. The kit I bought at the end of last year includes a pick I hadn't used before that seems to be a half hook combined with a 1/4 diamond. I didn't even notice it in my kit until last week, but I will be playing with it a lot here in the upcoming weeks.

My favorite pick is the spring steel riffle combined with the tension wrench.

Maybe we should set aside an hour at the projects meeting for this. ;)

Already did, I'll be playing while you and B3H finish the interface!

:D

:p You know if you would have let me code the interface using COBOL we could have been done by now and having fun playing around with the lockboards too.

/me goes back to coding
