More to come. I'm expecting a T.O.K.E Tension tool set from Awol70 very soon as well as a few American 1105's and a 5200 series as well. Also have a rekeyable practice cylinder that I hope to pick and gut for you all on YT very soon.

Thanks and Happy Picking,
Whizdumb

Thanks for the kind words guys. I will be uploading another new video of me picking an American 40 series that I just picked up today. That should be out very soon.

Also Sorry HC about the video links. I figured out how you want them done and I shall do that from now on... Quick question though, Should I add new video by editing the original (1st) post or add new videos in subsequent postings?

Thanks Guys And Happy Picking

Hey, since you already opened this thread just keep adding your videos to this thread, that way they are all together, thats what everybody else does, works great!

Well, not everybody lol... my thread is a single video, and you have to go to my channel to see the others! Maybe I should start adding to the thread. :mrgreen:

I might have mis-spoken.. I know that I should leave all my Video posts in one thread.. However, I would like to know if I should edit the first post of the thread to include new videos every time? Or Should I create a new response post every time I add a vid? Basically Should I keep all the Vids at the top of the thread or should I scatter them throughout the thread with new posts (in the same thread) every time?

Another YT Video

Me picking a brand new American 40 Series that I picked up today.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ngW2DyFVw0


I use my same offset half diamond slimeline Southord pick and a modified TOK tension tool. Also I added some serrations at the top of the tool on the head of the wrench because I was experiencing some slipping on my smaller padlocks when I used that same tool. THE SERRATIONS WORK WONDERS!! I definitely recommend adding some small serrations to TOK tension tools roughing the tip up a little on the sides can really help grab onto those plugs.

Thanks for watching and Happy Picking

Every time you add a new video, just post a new reply to the same thread. Just add text to the new post when you reply to your own thread. Scatter them throughout.

Another vid I just posted.

I pick an American 1105 with what feels like a bunch of security pins in it.

Added another new video. This is 1 of 4 Red 1105's that I recently received. I hope to find the time to do the others on camera. Either way enjoy the vid.
