Toool chairman is always on duty

Somehow we lost our old stack of stopwatches. Meaning that we did not
score many good times at the ‘continues competition’ last Wednesday at
the Toool club evening in Amsterdam. We only had two or three
stopwatches left. Having said that, it was a very good day for Marnix
and Paul Boven. They both opened the Medeco Axial lock (number 14) for
the first time. Paul even improved my time on the lock. grumble …

Back to the stopwatches. We lost ours and I was looking for new ones.
Jos pointed out some local e-bay add, and yesterday at 22:00 I bought
95 pieces of high quality stopwatches. It is a good thing I could buy
so many at the same time … after all, the Dutch Open lockpick
championships are going to happen real soon now. Within a few days you
can read all about the schedule of the Dutch Open 2006 on the Toool page.

 *Small update: Walter (Toool Eindhoven) recovered the stopwatches…

    Hi Barry. Congrats on the many wins you had at Toool club evening in Amsterdam competition.

    Just out of curiosity, what is the brand name of the timers you just won on eBay?

    Last, what do you think of the KEH-2 Bump Hammer. I recently received mine and it seems to have better weight then the previous version.

    Seanrox: Thanks. But my point where scored on other club evenings.
    I looked up the model for you. It is the HK-168 and can be bought here:

    I did receive a Ke-Bump Mark 2 hammer a little while ago but just did not have time to test it….

    Hey Barry, do you happen to know of any tutorials on picking the Medico Bi-axial?

    Im still working on getting most standard pin tumbler locks, and can get most in about 5 minutes with basic tools. But the Medico Bi-Axial has always intrigued me, and I would like to learn some more about it.

    Buck-O: Maybe I will post some info on it soon here. Stay tuned!
