Wow, good job dude. These are tricky locks to pick by all accounts. Do you know if the one that ur picking has the 'anti tension' faceplate on it? Don't know if u know but some have a cap on the end that'll tension the lock but it has a really weak connection to the body of the lock and it's real easy to break it if u put too much tension on it. Then only the real key will open it and it's dead difficult to tension the lock once this has happened.
@Eyes5150 A really crappy one that I made for regular tubular locks. It has two prongs that stick out into the keyway. It so happens it works pretty well on this lock.
Very cool FF. I haven't had time to play with mine.

Does it matter how thick it is or need to be a certain shape?

@Eyes5150 As long as it tensions the lock and you can maneuver your pick around it to get at the pins. It shouldn't matter.

What kind of tension wrench is that you're using?
