This is one hell of a padlock - EVIL keyway does not allow you any room for your pick as the key pins are sat down low - below warding - what the hell

real challenge - hats off to any one brave enough to attempt this pad lock and spp it ... does go in to false set then locks up 10/10 on this for the germans

Try using two tension wrenches, like I did in this video..

I have one ~ and let me tell you it's a real pain in the ass!

I haven't been able to pick it yet, as it locks up every time as you said.

Thanks for the video Norseman! I am going to try out that technique!

I have picked one of these before. I have the exact same padlock. Use a shallow hook and twist it up through the warding.

I posted pics a while back: viewtopic.php?f=104&t=7888&p=69062&hilit=wachter+gamma+700#p69039

Very hard to pick, but ridiculously easy to rake. Makes no sense at all. Use a city rake and it'll open like a master lock. Overall good locks though.
