    I just got mine, and I'm super happy with it. It has a great quality feel. My only complaint is that there is no lock to keep it closed. That can be a bit of a bother if it's rattling around in your pocket and it drops open on its own.

    I've had the Gravpick for about 24hrs now. It's left my hand only when it was necessary for sleep or for work.. and I do mean only when necessary. I'm addicted, and realized there's a massive potential for customized profiles here. I assumed CI might eventually release different profiles, but I recently acquired a good dremel tool with the sole intent on trying to make my own picks and profiles, and it wouldn't be a drastic stretch for CI to sell blanks for the Grav right alongside the standard blanks.

    Looks cool, still gonna wait for a sale before I get it.
    It only holds one pick at a time. Maybe If it had a faster swap method that didn’t require an external tool I’d still spring for it but it seems more like a party trick.
    Cool fidget and gimmick toy for sure.

    @Jcox1 2 місяці тому +12

    Im on the fence still. Innovation is always appreciated, but limited to one pick is a bummer. Now if that pick is one of the tickler profiles where you can rake and single pin pick, then that would push me over the edge. Especially since the turning tool is gonna eat up the bottom of the keyway.

    Very similar to the mechanism in Reate Knive’s gravity knife. Extremely cool!

  • @Thesnakerox
    @Thesnakerox 2 місяці тому +3

    I think an important consideration when evaluating this tool is: On Picking Time with Lady Locks and LockHeat, LPL actually said himself that while being a functional lockpick was obviously important, this and the other Fidget Picks are actually meant to be fidget toys first, and lockpicks second! So that's why the process of swapping profiles is a little tedious--it's a sacrifice because you're expected to spend more time playing with the mechanism!
    And for what it's worth, it does a VERY good job at that. I've lost sleep due to wanting to keep playing with mine LOL

    Maybe this will be controversial, but I actually like the escort folder. It needs more pick profiles and tensioners, but from what I hear that's coming. The "Grav Pick" would be a cool prop if I was playing a locksmith in a movie and it didn't need any practical application beyond one cool shot of me whipping it out.
