I used a Peterson Carbon Steel short hook, and I used a straight thin piece of metal for the slider pins.

Re: Scorpion CX-5 Picked, finally.

Awesome!

Chris, I'd be interested to know the process for tackling a lock like that with multiple layers of security. Do you strip it down and reassemble first without one of the components (eg. sidebar, scorpion pins) and then master that and then progressively add the other components back in or do you just take on all the security components at once?

Any lock with a side bar I Keep those components in, otherwise if you take the sidebar out and learn to pick the main pins, then you add the sidebar, it can throw off the binding order again and you are basically back to square one, since the lock is now binding on the sidebar and the top pins. With this lock I left it all together and started with the top pins until i could get it to sheer. This lock also has counter-milled chambers so it took a while to know when they were really all set, lots of repetitive clicks on each pin.. Then I got to work on the sliders.

On the Medeco M3 I have picked, I kept the sidebar in, but progressively added pins to the lock, learning and practicing how to rotate them properly, and worked up until it was fully pinned, and then picked.

I hope this helps a little.
