TOOOL New Jersey Meeting

quite a nice spread and good turnout we had this month
 
Ed brought out a huge compliment of free stuff... practice locks, picks, pinning mats, etc
 
catalogs, sample gear, etc.
 
more images of people having a good old time, learning and chatting
 
Ed also made up these wonderful jars of materials for everyone... pins, plugs, back shims, etc... all you need to rebuild your practice locks in a single, simple package. that guy is simply wonderful.
  
this is a customized hook tool that Ed has been developing. he used it with great effect. it appears to be closely related to a Gonzo pick but with a lovely, round metal handle that is one with the pick shaft. an ergonomic notch makes holding and using this tool a real breeze
