Interesting about the feedback related to how well used the lock is. I got one of these that's so sooooo catchy and scratchy I have fantasies about gutting it and running the parts through a gem tumbler to smooth them out so the mechanism doesn't feel like it came from the quality control reject bin. If it were it not for the brand reputation I'd have deemed it to be sloppy manufacturing or defective after feeling how rough all the edges are. The key is sharp, it catches moving in, out and the mechanism doesn't turn smoothly. It feels cheap. Trying to pick it, there's pins that are binding before I apply tension. Just counting the pins and testing movement with no tensioner you have to put so much pressure on them to get them to break free that I'm worried about bending the pick, and that's before even trying to pick it. I can't tell if I got a defective lock or if they did this intentionally. I don't think they did this but I'm imagining a challenge lock with countermilling holding a near zero lift pin in place like that. Something that needed 5 thousandths lift to set but needed a lot of force to clear the milling. Have fun picking that. At some point it doesn't matter if if its crap tooling or planned brilliance because it makes picking difficult either way. I smile when I hear skilled pickers "complain" that cheap Chinese sloppy locks and weathered masterlocks are difficult to pick. T-ball is much easier than baseball. Is it a feature or is it a bug? Poor manufacturing leading to accidental success is still success
Interesting comparing to ither 90a pro vids, there seems to be no consistency in the arrangement of spools and serrated. I am quite fons if a lucky dip 😊. Thanks for sharing 🙏👍🤜🤛
Another thing to note about this lock, it was quite used when I got it and I struggled to open it, but after cleaning it, I got much better feedback.

Great pick , and love that purple. These aren’t easy to pick. The one i got isn’t anyway 👍🏻✌🏻🤘🏻
That bitting is pretty good
A keyboard without a num pad attached? What a mad man.
Dude is a legendary savage!😎
This is probably gonna be my next lock so thanks for this
Good luck!!
I just got one of these and it’s kicking my butt! So crunchy and vague…
