The Chinese have another crack at copying the mighty Mul-T-Lock Interactive...and manage to get it about half right. Huge thanks to Gary in Australia for this lock - if you want one of these, buy it at his eBay site below.

+++Response from Sparrows+++
Sparrows have very kindly responded to the criticisms and suggestions; they suggest learning to use the set in a slightly different way to a normal pick and wrench. I was pleased with their reply, it makes sense.

Hey Michael
Just watched the video - feed back always appreciated.
I would like you to try a slightly different technique with the mace.
When using the mace as a tension bar use it at the bottom of the keyway with pick going up.
That gets the tail completely out of the way.
If you watch this video you will see how we line it up(time 0:46)
http://www.sparrowslockpicks.com/product_p/mace.htm
The short hook - in the mace set it is hard to single pin pick without levering off the base of the lock.
You just dont have enough to hold onto compared with a standard pick where you can lift.
For that reason ... it needs a thicker bridge. That levering style is very hard on picks
Let us know if you have any other questions or comments

The Millenco Magnum is a very complex, but not very secure lock. You dont want it on your door - speak to your locksmith and spend the extra 20 pounds to buy something better quality. But as a lock to learn dimple picking and sidebar picking...its great.")

Ever wondered how a master ring works?

Ever wondered why locks with master wafers are so easy to pick?
Ever wondered what your statistical chances of raking a conventional five pin lock are?
Ever wondered how Folger Adam (and others) make prison locks harder to pick BUT still able to accept master keying?
All this, plus a five pin lock that the Gorilla hasnt even got a key for and cant even pick.")
