Pickbuster - passes the test
28 Aug 2007
We wanted to test Pickbuster to see how good it is. So we asked a member of the Institute of Certified Locksmiths to test it. It works superbly.
We then wanted to see if Pickbuster can be easily washed out with the likes of WD40...............it can´t. It took over 15 minutes and 0.75 PINTS of WD40 to wash Pickbuster out..................what a mess that caused.
Pickbuster is the only economical retrospective security method against Cylinder Bumping available in the market. |
