Just got my set of picks in the mail and I went right to town with them.  Worked on some pad locks to start.  Took about an hour to pop the first lock, but I am now down to 30 seconds to 1 min for pad locks.  They have all been master locks, you I am going to find a different make of lock to work on next.  This really is a skill that I see can come in handy no matter what you do in life, not just for survival.

Ive been at it for over 10 years now.  Much like anything else that requires fine motor skills, you will start to develop a feel for the locks.  One of the biggest mistakes Ive seen people do is use too much pressure on the tension tool.  Start with rakes then move up to hooks, balls and diamonds.

Just got them, popped my first wafer lock in 15 seconds. Now on to the challenging stuff!
