I can get an equivalent clear practice look on Amazon for €8.99 with free shipping. Is Brockhage somehow particular awesome? And if so, how much does that matter for a practice look (which is bound to be of temporary use)?
plumaI received mine today. I wanted to see how hard it would be to pick. This required no skill at all. I inserted the tension wrench, gently rant the pick across the pins (not raking, but just intending to feel each of then, boom... the lock came open. I have Masterlock locks that give me more of a challenge than this one. :) It's nonetheless a cute toy to show people how a lock works, but it's utterly useless in terms of practice.
paulejI second this. I had zero lock picking experience prior to receiving this lock and some pics. I managed to rake it open in maybe 20 seconds on my first try and then I went on to SPP it in an even faster time... Oh well it's still pretty neat.
