I want to see a version of the newer automobile keys.

The ones that these picks are for.

Has there been a thread on there recently with this?

Not exactly this, but there was a thread about a month ago with a gif of how picking works:

This is possibly the best single animation I've seen; I will be using this to explain it to others. Thanks.

Im just learning now and this helps.

It's oddly satisfying to see them jump about for a bit before finally falling into place in unison.

That's a really nice render, anyone have it in a higher quality?

This actually helped me understand why you need a tension wrench. As you keep pressure on the lock to turn, the upper pins get caught on the upper lip of the inner cylinder's chambers.

Thanks for posting this!
