Do I count seven pins there..??

Poor little locks, think they so tough.

They don't stand a chance.

Well at least they're not some of the crazier W(x) variants.... some of those are INSANE warding! Not to diminish the wackiness of the warding there either... that looks like there's nowhere really good to lever off without the pick slipping due to either the slope of the ward or the angle from the pins.

Yeah I noticed that too - it looks scary. I guess you could always make a tool by grinding a key blade down really far to fill in the bottom of the keyway, and then use that as a place to work your pick off of.

I wish I could say that a Best has never defeated me!! I have picked some tough ones, and others remain unpicked. For those crazy keyways I always make a tension wrench to fit that keyway, I don't mess around and try to get something to work I just make something that does. Makes things easier.

Nice work man! You definitely got the mad lockpicking skills! Evil, evil looking keyway... Was that one of the Sparrow's Picks that you were using there?

That's one funky profile, looks identical to the arrow core I did a while back. Congrats getting them picked, and to control no less! Very impressive.
