Help with serrated pins

[the shepherd]

well done on picking the 5200! after all the advice you got, 'heavy tension, 'light tension', which in the end worked best for you?

....Is this about standard now for a 5200 because I was able to pick that?....

I'm sure they can all vary somewhat. But I'd say yeah, that's about right. I just went and tore apart my one and only 5200 for ya:

It had 3 serrated drivers and 2 hybrid spools. The spools were in positions 3 and 5.

I've also come across other American series with ALL serrated drivers... but it's usually a mixed bag of spools & serrated.

Thank you! At last I can pick a damn American padlock. I can pick it consistently too. It will be my American confidence lock.
