edocdab, I know there's a bypass but didn't try it.
Good idea to leave them open, I prefer to lock mines so sometimes I'm not sure if I've opened one lock or not. Now I write their number like 321/366 with a red permanent marker on the ones of this challenge.
Day 321 of 366. There are days when you think you're a genius and make a prototype tool. Then realize the tool doesn't work.
I got so angry at the lock and SPP it with a wishbone tensioner and a broken pick. Had to try different locations for the tensioner, until I found two short pins and used that spots. The pick is so small I could even set the pins where the tensioner was sitting.
It took me a while to make it turn. I could feel the plug rotate slightly every time I pushed a pin. Some of them needed a hundred little pushes to set them properly. I was going to give up but felt it turning so I kept at it.
This is another lock I've never opened before.
Cheers
