McTickler Fun, McZipping? Covert Instruments Reaper and Rizz Pick Profile

[@nottodead]

Very nicely done

[@guidothumb2148]

That pick has been a game changer. It's in my top 3. I'll usually try it 1st right side up, then upside down (yes, it tickles both ways), then an offset hybrid, and a full dent. SPP if those fail... Of course rakes are nice, I've just gotten to the point I like the 3 picks I mentioned. It sucks they don't sell the Mctickler alone. I just ordered some blanks though to make one in .025, a longer one, and I'm going to try making a couple changes to the profile with the others. They are definitely a bit too short for 7 pin locks, and kinda tricky with some 6 pin locks. Overall, the best pick ever,... Those short tension tools that come with it are pretty nice too. They have similar tension tools, but once again those exact ones can only be purchased in that set.

@@guidothumb2148 Did you hear anything about the McTickler in the Apex series thickness will be? How about that double McTickler like profile?

[@PETEfromPA]

@@guidothumb2148 Really hoping they put all the Reaper set in the chop shop. Be really nice lol. Happy picking my friend!

[@guidothumb2148]

@@PETEfromPA Not yet. Think we'll have to buy the Apex set. Which I'll do. In the meantime I'm going to make a Mctickler rip off from a 025 blank, and possibly try to make the other profiles. I may alter the tip to a small diamond like on an offset hybrid... We'll see.

The german word for this one is Vorführeffekt. It's the effect, which happens when something doesn't work like you're used to, while presenting something to an audience. 😄

I’m about to pick one of these up for lockout calls - the most common locks I see here in Hawaii are Shlage, Sargent, and Kwikset - I normally just use a CI Quad/Quint Rake and my short hook - if those don’t work I break out the Lishis.

@@moose2934 Have you ever tired the Bumping technique? CI starter kit includes Schlage and Kwikset.

[@toycoma98]

@@PETEfromPA I was about to order the full bump kit but sold out fast.

[@PETEfromPA]

@@toycoma98 Oh no! I didn’t notice that sorry. Hopefully back soon.

I'd love to see more confidence from you! We, the audience trust you. Locks and anything else is unpredictable, don't let their behavior distract from your core message. Peace and Love

@@JohnnyDeppsTeeth thank you for the great words!

01:00 is that the iPhone unlock sound ?

[@PETEfromPA]

@@MrFSTQ I don’t think so. Listened three times and didn’t hear it… idk.

The inconsistency you were having was due to too much tension and not enough tension, relax, take a breath, forget about the camera, and just do it as if you been doing it your whole life. I hope that helps
