@@bluescoobywagon If you don’t want to say, may I ask what kind of picks and tensioners you are using? Might be able to help. In any case, thanks for watching and happy picking.
@@PETEfromPA I've had the most success with my homebrew pick, which is a mid-deep gem, with a rounded off back corner. It's about .017-.018" thick. I also have the ridgeback set and JimyLongs in .019". I usually use a CI Ergo tensioner. I have three 410 LOTOs: One with a low lift pin 1 and high lift pin 2; One with a zero lift pin 4 and high lift pins 5 and 6; a naughty one with a high lift pin 1 and max lift pins 2 and 3 along with a zero lift pin 5 and a high lift pin 6. I can pick the first one consistently, but I struggle to lift pins 5 and 6 on the second one, thanks to the warding and pin 4. I'm convinced the that third one can't be picked with just a single pick and tensioner. At some point I'm going to mail that lock out for others to try.
Bobby pins?? Jeez... it took me months before I could pick my 410 using standard picks (not that I tried it that many times in the interim but still). Next you'll be opening an Assa 700 with a Q-tip and a toothpick. 😁
@@LockSpaz also, took me months also to open a 410. But what’s weird, is once I did…. I took off. Something about popping open your first spool pin lock.

Good stuff
@@vanderkeynlock thanks for watching.
Very impressive work! I still sometimes struggle to open mine with actual pics. RIP ego...

@@LockSpaz LMAO! I don’t even know what an Assault 700 is. Assuming high security? Just posted opening a 570 too. Got my eyes on a deadbolt next….

@@PETEfromPA An ASSA 700 is "red belt" lock, pretty tricky. Above my pay grade. I was originally going to say "Medeco", but that's just too cliché.
@@LockSpaz Okay yes, I’ve heard of Medeco. I’ve seen them here and there. I’d love to try it lol!
