To begin to learn Single Pin Picking (SPP), at least two tools are needed: one to manipulate the pins and one to rotate the lock plug. A pick with a hook profile is often recommended for SPP. It is generally recommended to use a turning tool that fits in the keyway without blocking access to the pins while still providing feedback and control of the rotation. | To begin to learn Single Pin Picking (SPP), at least two tools are needed: one to manipulate the pins and one to rotate the lock plug.
