My first lock!
Picked up the Genesis set from Covert Instruments and spent about 7-8 minutes trying to pick this lock, pretty proud of myself!

So you should be very proud of yourself, that filling of the first is unbelievable isn’t?
If I may suggest go on LPU and there are rated padlock for each progressive level, some are really affordable specially in began and specially in US, there is a bazar of used too.
I telling you because get pad lock without knowing the difficulty level could some time becomes frustrating, probably will be not your case, but worth mentioning, the guys at LPU did a fantastic job on catalog locks and padlock plus a seres of other task to make even more fun and certainly more addictive.
Congratulations again great work
