Vid of me picking those locks. Comments on technique (or lack thereof) greatly appreciated. Sound gets kinda out of synch towards the later half.

Technique looked fine to me and it seems to be working well for you. :smile: Of course, tension is just as important as the way you work the pick and its hard to tell from a video just how hard you are pressing on the tension wrench. Having said that, I believe those locks have spools in them so if you were able to pick out of false sets then I would say that your tension is good as well.

Also, that's a nice looking homebrew pick you've got there. :cool:

Thank you. Means a lot to have feedback from fellow pickers. Not many of those around where I live. Picking from false set works nice so tension seems to be alright then. Again, thanks for your input.
