Knuckle-Buster
Candlefocus EditorKnuckle busters are made from metal, usually steel or brass, and are composed of two parts: a handle and the pick blade. The handle is the top part of the tool and is used to grip the tool and apply torque to it. The pick blade is the bottom half of the tool and is used to insert into the keyway and manipulate the pins inside the lock. The handle also contains a lever that is used to move the pins up and down as the pick is rotated.
When using a knuckle buster, the pick blade is inserted into the key hole and the lever is used to move the pins inside the lock. The pins must be moved up and down in a precise manner in order for the lock to open. The pins are usually set up in a pattern, and the locksmith must be able to identify the pattern in order to open the lock. If the pattern is not identified correctly, the lock will remain unlocked.
In order to learn how to use a knuckle buster, it is important to practice on a variety of locks. This will help develop the skill of identifying lock patterns and understanding how to manipulate the pins. It is also important to have the right tools, such as a tension wrench, which helps to hold the pins in place while the pick is turned. It is also important to have the right practices, so that each lock is opened in a safe and secure manner.
Knuckle busters are an essential tool for locksmiths, security professionals, and anyone else looking to open a PIN tumbler lock without the need for a key. These tools are easy to master with some practice, and can provide users with the confidence needed to open even the toughest locks.
