Howdy ya'll. I've been enjoying learning more and more about picking lever padlocks. One challenge I've had is being able to control my tension tool easily while picking. My problem is that I have only a little surface area on the key that I've ground down and it puts my hands in an awkward position. This really helps, and also has a benefit of acting as a guide for my pick. Really happy with how this worked out.

Sometimes I have to laugh at myself, I didn't realize I had already picked this lock, but I have :-). But this time I was able to also gut it after extracting a stripped screw. Great pick, great lock!

In this video I show the process of decoding a key from image, which can then be used to make an exact replica of the key. It's a shockingly easy process, so I wanted to share so you can understand how important it is to not show your keys on social media or the web.
