Jeff, you rock my man! We gotta meet up and bust locks. Lol, my middle name is Stuart. See Stu is a play on C. Stuart. I'm so excited for this!

[@SeeStuDo]

I only use that Medusa here and there. Trying to rake a dimple with it rn, actually. Great run, man! Fab entry.

[@jeffandthings77]

Thanks for the explanation! And I'm always down for meeting up....are you in the Ohio/Kentucky area??

[@SeeStuDo]

@jeffandthings77 Michigan, but anywhere in Ohio or just past is a day drive to me. Driven between Michigan and Texas along that route so many times I can sleep drive it , lol

@@jeffandthings77 Looked great from my end Jeff!!

[@SadisticPicker]

Like your selection of rakes! I bet that thick homemade job be good for wide open keyways. Do ya know how thick it is? Some grit paper and ya can slim it down abit. But for a rake a thick one be kinda nice. Hey awesome raking! Was fun to watch! Goodluck on your entry homie! Oh and ive broken soooo many picks heavy handed picking and raking over last two years. Like probably 13. Ofcource bending some them learning tension or just bullying locks open🤷🏼🤣.

[@jeffandthings77]

I keep telling myself I need to thin that monster rake down (and I really should check the current thickness) but haven't gotten around to it! The only picks I've broken to date (knock on wood) has been two home made rakes...and those were both made from wiper inserts, so it wasn't great or sizeable material in the first place!

@@jeffandthings77 man thats impressive! Ya have good tension control. It took me abit to not be so heavy handed. But then (actually LockPickingLawyer) convinced me that heavy handed picking will get you into tons of locks! But sadly at the cost of new tools🫣🤷🏼😝. I tend to agree with this assessment. Of course goes wothout saying that this method does not work with well made locks. Only ones with loose or crappy tolerances. Hey appreciate the chat man!
