I have tried in vane for more than a week now to crack that sucker, spp, all manner of rakes, Bogotas as well, I even tried to make a bypass tool (no luck) and a comb pick which I managed to jam and break off inside of the lock, after a couple of hours I got lucky and managed to extract it. If I don't get it soon I may consider sending it off to one of you more experienced pickers for a lesson.
Great site by the way...................Cheers and K.O.P.

It's frustrating beyond words, I can get Pro Series Masters and Guards, but I have definately hit a wall with this little Devil spawn.

Good luck with it anyway.
