The "New Peterson Pro-1" tubular pick is the most universal tubular pick I have found. It is the only vernier adjustable pick in the world. The revolutionary design represents the only new advancement in tubular lock picking in many years. Because of the interchangeable tip design, the pick can be converted to manipulate a number of cylinder diameters and configurations. The special tip design also allows the tool to enter and manipulate shrouded bicycle lock cylinders.

I have used this pick to defeat ACE II, 7 pin cylinders, in less than a minute. This Peterson Pro-1 does not work on the impression principle, which seems to predominate all other pick styles. The Peterson Pick operates from the "full locked" position of the pins, to find and decode the "blocking pins" in whatever order they must be picked. This psychology bypasses the traps, reduced diameter pins, spool and mushroom pins, that cause other picks to fail. The pick finger adjusting thimbles neutralize the problems encountered with locks that have strong and light driver springs mixed in the same cylinder.

The pick can be used on: .370 dia. 7 pin cylinders (left, right, and center configurations), .370 8 pin cylinders, .360 dia. 7 pin cylinders, small barrel 6 pin cylinders, cylinders with stationary blocking or dead pins, cylinders with reduced diameter top pins, deep shrouded bicycle lock cylinders, and every Ace style lock we have found. As new anti pick features are released, the manufacturer assures us that he will design upgrade tips to meet the demand. The upgradeable feature makes the Peterson Pro-1 the pick of the future.
