I do think you'll eventually come to a functional tool that will work. However, as elbow mentioned,
the life span of your tool will depend on the material used. Even the original Peterson's bypass tool
made from "our highest quality steal" will only hold up to so much for so long.
I have one, and plan to purchase one more. Overall, it's a brilliantly designed tool that works wonders.
My personal experience with it is this though... by no means does hit for a 100%. I have not had enough
experience with it to give a percentage on how often it does work. But if I had to say, it's certainly well
over half the time. For example, you could sit down with 27 American 1100's (which I've done. lol) and
you're bound to run into at least a handful of them that you just can't seem to penetrate. Why exactly
this is, I'm not sure yet, and have not taken the time to try n' figure it out... but I will eventually.
In short; as you work through your prototypes, and continue to test-n-tweek, be sure to have a fair test group
of locks. Hopefully this will elimintate the possiblility of you frivolously working away on one that just happens
to be one of those 'lemon locks'... all the while thinking that your tool just isn't quite right yet.
On a sidenote: my experience with Peterson's Silver Bullet bypass set for laminated Masters has been similar
in regards to the success/failure rate. Again, overall great product. If I can find a suitable metal, I'd like to
replicate them just to have a second set. They're worth having.
Tools like these must wedge their way between elements with some fairly tight tolerances.
It's a good idea to get them as smooth as possible... and some lube certainly can't hurt.
I like to apply a small amount of tri-flow to the tips, then wipe them down.
