Dental floss? Nope. I think I've seen something similar looking in a shower drain.

It gives me ulcers. I hate it - but I love it. It's like having a drunk stripper for a girlfriend.

I was able to hoke some of the tangled springs out of there with a hook pick and eventually the plug freed up enough that I was able to yank it out of there - I took some wiper insert, put a little bend in one end then fed it through the back of the plug. Pulled it from the other side with pliers and it came right out! I lost a couple of drivers but they'll turn up... now I just need to nip down the locksmiths and see if he has any spare springs I can use.

Hmm... the one in the kryptonite I got is a 6 pin, and it's also the same shape as the SC1 but it's noticeably smaller. Maybe about 3/4 the size, if not a little less. To the laboratory!

But I've haven't seen many European-distributed locks. Sure would like to get hold on one of those Master padlocks with dimple keys. Can't buy one on this side of the pond.
