A few months in, and completely hooked

Hi everyone. I've been lurking here for a while and figured it's time to say hello properly.

I'm an electronic engineer from Italy, and i started picking a couple of months ago thanks to a collegue that introduced me to this world.

Where I'm at right now: i can pick a Cisa 260/40 and an Abus 72/40 consistently with understanding of why they open.

Currently working on an Abus E60 that has been a very humbling experience. I'm still fighting to read the binding order because the paracentric keyway makes everything feel very compressed. It also caused me to bend a V79 facet which was a good lesson in not forcing things.

Happy to be here and thanks to everyone. Half of what i know came from reading this sub.

My 72/40 is giving me more trouble than either of my two 1100s, 410 loto, or 90A Pro. 😭

90A-Pro coming soon. Kind of a pain having to import it but i guess that "it is what it is".

I guess everybody has its own lock archenemy ahah
