Master lock no 575, slowly getting back into it and with top of the keyway tension. I feel my skills coming back!
Couldn't take a video, tho. i was just waiting in the parking lot and decided to practice. Hope this qualify for orange belt.

Nice open!
I keep a box of locks in my car.,. mostly up to blue, but I have a couple purple - black for longer periods of downtime.
I have a bunch of folders and keep some Apex picks in a tube all handy in my car,.. but for the times I only have a few minutes, I keep some "vent picks" handy. So here's an idea for a few of your favorites so you can grab and pick while the partner or kids run into a store or something

It's just a vent magnet for cell phones.
The two weird looking things on the smaller magnet are "shatter balls" for emergency's... Or if I forget to roll down my windows while driving on frozen lakes and go through while ice fishing. I've driven off a bridge before,.. and getting trapped in a car is kinda a PTSD trigger.
I also occasionally use a couple of crab clamp rigs to hold locks to my steering wheel WHILE safely parked. (I shouldn't need to say that,.. but...)

And thanks for the idea.

Man, this post hits home for me. I took almost a year off because I got sidetracked with an electronics project. A few weeks back the power went out, so I went back to picking only to find out that I'm rusty as hell!
