The one question that we get is what is the difference between a clear acrylic practice lock and a Brass cut away. A brass cutaway has different feedback. With the brass pins on a brass shell the feedback that you feel in both the pick and in your fingers holding the shell is sharper. The clicks from picking are also a more natural to that of real lock. These differences are minor but as you gain experience you will start to notice the difference. Just starting out? Then grab which works best for you, you can’t go wrong and both will teach you the essentials.
