Any recommendations for nice tubular locks? This ones just one of those cheap cabinet types so not much of a challenge.

    I’m just getting into tubular lock picking, and I cannot seem to get the Sparrow Mantis wrench to fit on my first tubular lock.

    I may grab some smaller bike locks this weekend/go thrift shopping to see what I can find.

      @pezhore @ilovecheese Might want to post some images, showing the problem and/or the Name+Model for the lock in question.

      There are quite a few different size tubular locks and not all of them can be tensioned in the same way.

      If you know the name/model… you could also try searching youtube with it and see if anyone else has opened it and what they used😉​

      I’ve only picked a few tubulars, most can be tensioned with almost anything as long as you can get it into the notch of the centre.

      There’s a couple of common diameters used so a couple of tensioners are handy.

      Time to dig out my tubular locks again!
