Thanks! I’m hoping to get the new iPhone around the first of the year, if I do I can use the macro and get an even better view! But it’s cool even for me to watch 😂
That’s a great question! What makes picking locks possible is that there are tiny variations in manufacturing, most notably the fact that the holes in the plug (the centre where the key goes) are not in an exact straight line. So some pins will “bind” before others. Abus uses a combination of one standard pin at the front, and spool shaped pins through the rest. Spool pins are thinner in the middle and so they don’t bind up as noticeably as standard pins, which are the same thickness throughout. So when you set or “pick” the spool pins, it has a tendency to drop the standard pin often. And when the standard pin has dropped, you can’t really feel what the next pin is that needs to be picked. Hoped this helped!

Not a locksmith or lock picker. Why not set pin 1 after setting the rest? (Instead of constantly going back to pin 1)
