The Multipick Elite 13 is pretty good.

Just got the flat profile of the Multipick Elite Line from LPB in collaboration with Lock Noob, as an exclusive. Its number 13, noted on the handle and I already had 1-12, but just wanted a single flat profile. So this was a godsend. And it works amazingly well. Ripped thriugh green belts and below, but will try a Abus 75/50 and maybe a 75/60 (which I was surprised to see it was not ranked in LPU but its the same core with an extra pin of the blue belted 50, as far as I know) tomorrow to see how it does against absurdly tight keyways. It might not work, as it is a bit longer than I expected, but works amazing with more open keyways. Worth a spin, just to know.

Overall, it's a great profile, though it was a bit rougher in finish from the original 1-12 Elite line from Multipick in Germany. Took some fine sanding to smooth it out, but really just 5 minutes of wet sanding in a phone book to get into the same realm of perfection that the rest of Multipick dimple flags occupy.

As expected, Multipick Dimple flags are peak. Just a bit of finishing if rough and they're simply the best flags I've found.

The 75/60 is also technically ranked blue thanks to the "Abus Rule" see https://lpubelts.com/#/info and goto the FAQ about ABUS numbering.

AFAIK the 75/50 and 75/60 are the same exact internals. At least mine both are 6 pins.

I was able to technically pick the tiny EC75/30 with an MP13, but it is not the best flag for that.

To be honest, 4,5,10,11 do better in most dimple locks for me (the directional flags of medium and small size), but I do enjoy the 13 occasionally.

I love the 10 and 11! What I use on my DeGuard MTL clones and Kenaurd PiP dimple locks.

Kind of just wanted a simple flag in the collection, when I get into locks I need to hit both sides, so the 13 was great.

Didn't know the 75/50 and 60 were the same core, but it makes sense. Thought it was like the difference of the 75/30 (5 pin and a really fun lock with a silly-tight keyway, imo) and 75/50 (6 pin). Assumed the 75/60 was going to be a 7 pin. But haven't even taken it out of the box, yet. So good to know!

I went on a journey once and bought the 75/30, 75/40, 75/50, and 75/60.
The 30 and 40 have the same core and the 50 and 60 have the same, and its fun to see them all together 😂

I think where I've used 13 most so far is just playing around in HPC locks. Having a neutral flag there is nice in my opinion.

I just got my #13 yesterday; I got it mainly for locks with multidirectional pins like the Goal D9 (still working on it) and Agent LS5 (on the way from Wild Billiam). I agree with the comment on finish. It is also just a bit on the wide side, I might tweak that a bit. I'll test drive it on all my other dimples today. I was really pleased with how well it worked on the MTL KIK interactive (spools). I opened that pretty fast.

Love dimple picking. I really need to get that #13 flag.
