i agree, they are a tough pick (spp)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhOEA-9Y ... h_responseand a total pushover to rake..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXfRabIQJOgthey contain very shallow cut spools, not mushrooms.(my packages just said "anti pick pins")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVuM_coWsGQi recommend light bottom of keway tension, LUBE, and set as many rear pins as you can without slipping into false....
in the field,however,i would always rake these locks,as once you perfect the technique,
they dont stand a snowball's chance.
(on a side note,anything 30mm and below in this series can be bypassed,and the back of the package has a nice cutaway drawing,showing exactly where to lever the locking bar.(s) )
