Niiiice

I miss having extra PC parts

And DDR4 is stupid cheap yet still used in current builds

 

You only wanted easy mode? There's not a single lock in that pile that you'll have to single pin pick, you can rake them all and a couple you can use a comb pick and just lift up. The only master locks that are a challenge are the lockout tag out locks, they're a 5 pin core with spools and serrateds.

 

Oddly enough these chintzy little locks have the best core master lock makes

Different types (no spools) to teach me some muscle memory in learning how to 'finesse'

I won't try my hand at raking these and really want to learn how to better apply my tension wrench and get a feel for everything.

Spools are definitely next but I figured since no lock is the same, maybe one would give me more trouble than the next?

The Donner can be shimmed, but not bypassed (it's shielded) and they're harder to single pin pick versus any of the Master Locks.

Abus is next on the list since they run 3 spools.

Never tried a deadcore before though so I'll run spools for a bit before anything with a deadcore or more pins.

 

Spools are probably the hardest to get a feel for since you'll almost always need counter rotation to let them get by

 

Left one of those bad boys on a disconnect at my last job. Guess someone will have to break out the universal pick (grinder) to turn that machine back on.

 

Yeah I've learned a little about counter rotation messing with other locks that have different spring tension.

It's been fun as fuck for sure, but once I get a lock with spools you'll be the first to know (if I open it)

But yeah I'll order one now.

Either a Master Lock 570 or Abus 55/40

 

Prybar works on em well cause of the plastic body, the irony... masterlock uses its only non shitty lock core on its weakest lock

 

I go for reusables bc it's closer. Air filters, garden stuff, paintbrushes, etc., etc.

 

Pretty much any disconnect handle can be pulled enough to the side to go around the lock too.

 

@Speedytech7

These have 3 spools and it's cheap (cheaper than Amazon even)

 

I just horrified a bunch of coworkers in the break room...grabbed my taquitos out of the toaster oven and put them on a plate, then moved too fast and they all fell off the plate onto the floor. Figured fuck it, I don't want to cook more and the 5 second rule still applies so...bon appetite.

They were all like "NOOOoooo Ryan what are you dooooooinnng EEWWWWW" haha

 

I feel like it's ok because you have a toddler

Your immune system is already used to regular stress testing

 

just spiced them up with a little floor seasoning

 

Would you say as shocked as your family was when they saw you properly flipping a tortilla?

 

Did he use a tool?

 

you mean with tongs right

 

Don't call him a tool
