I have a similar set of Peterson rakes - although with different (red) handles. I did not have much success with them. I was able to rake open a few locks now and then - but only because the rake "wave" pattern mimicked the bitting of the key.

I could never say that I could consistently rake a lock with them. I had better and more reliable success with the Southern Specialties rake with their 3 hump euro-wave jiggler design. That design is no doubt based on the Bogota design by Raimundo.

I just have to agree. I have a set of those and they are nothing special. Barely work on maybe 1% of my locks.

IDK, the "wake rake" one... wow man... I bought one on a lark. It just looked kinda interesting and I wanted a closer look at it, and well for $2/95 why the hell not, right? Well, anyway, as it turns out if ya use it as you would a bogota (motion-wise) but a bit more slowly, holy crap! This is is insane effective ESPECIALLY on BEST brand locks! Just my experience...

Re: a couple peterson rakes you may not have seen

I have an s-rake in my Legion303 set I have and could not convince myself to buy the rakes when Peterson has their B1G1 deal a few months ago. Those do look different than any of the Petersons I remember seeing.

The only rakes I use consistently is my SerePick (Raimundo) bogotas. These is usually my first pick in the lock to see if I can pop it quick. I do have some locks that I can pop quicker with a rake. Usually cheap old locks where it 5-10 seconds of raking compared to 25-30 seconds of SPP.
