Sparrows Wizwazzle Breakdown:
The “Best-Buster” is an altered profile similar to the traditional “snake rake”. This rake is effective on many lock types but is specifically designed for shallow, sweeping key bitings like those found in Best, Arrow, and Falcon locks.
The “Twin-Peak” is most effective on the withdrawal stroke, making it one of the most effective rakes available. It differs from a traditional rake in that it functions by using a “ramping” effect similar to bumping.
The “Worm-Rake” is Designed to emulate as many key bitings as possible. This size worm rake is designed for attacking Master, Abus and Schlage Locks.
The “Triple-Peak” is used on the withdrawal stroke, making it one of the most effective rakes available. It differs from a traditional rake in the way it functions by using a “ramping” effect similar to bumping, similar to the double peak with different spacing.
The “Small half Diamond” acts like a wedge while manipulating pins in keyways arranged to disallow a hook-type pick. The half diamond wedges itself under, sometimes past the pins set too low to get a traditional hook under.
The “Steep Hook” is similar in effect to the high-reach tool but is intended for very restrictive and tight, high-security locks. With its downsized, slender profile, it is also very useful in taller Euro-style keyways.
The “Offset Hybrid” combines a shallow hook with a rounded half-diamond. The wedge-like point and specially rounded bottom edge slide through the keyway. With the pick acting as a centred fulcrum, this pick has extremely smooth and controlled lifts, which is critical for locks like ASSA.
The “Standard short hook” or lifter is the arsenal’s first “go-to” pick. It is more versatile and is used more often than any other pick. It is designed to let the picker feel the intricacies of the lock and manipulate pins individually. When the pick is used in a raking technique, it is also possible to work several pins at the same time. This pick is good for a wide range of keyway types and pinning arrangements.
The “City Rake” is a standard rake that has proven indispensable over the years. This pick does a fantastic job of emulating the key bitings found in the most common commercial and residential locks, such as Kwikset, Weiser, and Master.
The “Shallow Euro” hook is intended for small and restrictive keyways often found in European and “high security” locks such as Yale and Chubb. Its slack curvature and slender profile allow the pick to slide past set pins and through highly restrictive keyways where a standard short hook is too large to do the job.
The “High reach” is designed to access and set very high (or Short) cut pins that lie directly behind a very “low”(or long) cut pin. The dimple cut at the tip adds extra pin control, especially when attacking the pin from the side.
Sparrows manufactures all lock picks out of American-made 301 Cold Max steel, which has an average tension strength of 280,000 PSI.
