    I tend to save all the foils after use and periodically go through then to see what can be reused. Surprisingly around 8 out of 10 can be reused at least once. It's surprising how many foils you can go through experimenting so for me this is a no brainer. 🙂👍

    I copied Brummies bent nail tension wrench idea and if anyone has done it, although it works well the pick wire moves a lot. So I thought, what if I make a groove instead of just a flat? And it works!!! Holds the wire steady. Granted it's a bit more effort to make than just filing a flat, but it's so worth it. Cheers 🙂👍

We couldn't get it to connect so gave up. Whilst visiting our daughter and family in Hereford UK she asked as we were leaving how it was doing. I said that it just wouldn't connect, so she leaned in through the window and twiddled with it. Suddenly her neighbours music he was playing in his garden through his Alexa started blasting out the music on my wife's phone 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I bet that confused him. Gave us a laugh all the way home on that three and half hour journey 😂😂😂. Sending ear rubs to your pooch.

I love the grippy handle, you'll have to explain how you do that. Brett had mentioned to me several videos back about clicking the Newest button and hidden comments are revealed, KZread need to fix that. I keep forgetting and when I remember I go back over videos to check. Must be my age 😂 Cheers for the pick Paul, it looks awesome and I'm looking forward to opening some locks on camera with it. Part of me doesn't want to damage it in any way so I will reluctantly be slipping it into some locks 😂.
