Mercedes HU64 Benz Inner Groove Lock Pick Tool

The HU64 Inner Groove Pick works in a similar manner to the VAG inner groove pick, designed specifically for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This pick is used to open HU64 type locks, which are commonly found in Mercedes-Benz cars. The process involves applying light tension to the lock and using a raking technique with the pick to set the internal pins or wafers. Here’s a breakdown of how it functions:

Key Features:

1. Two-Part Design:

   • Tension Tool: The provided tension tool is inserted into the keyway and applies light, constant pressure to the lock. This tension is essential for creating the right internal pressure, allowing the lock mechanism to move freely.
   • Pick: The pick is then inserted into the lock. Similar to the VAG inner groove pick, the HU64 pick is designed to move in and out of the lock repeatedly, raking the internal pins or wafers into the correct position to unlock the mechanism.

2. Raking Motion:

   • The raking motion involves pushing the pick in and out of the lock’s keyway. This movement causes the internal components (pins or wafers) to gradually align with the shear line, unlocking the lock.
   • The light tension applied with the tension tool ensures the wafers are correctly positioned for the lock to open.

3. Quick and Easy Operation:

   • Just like the VAG inner groove pick, the HU64 pick is designed for quick and efficient lock opening. The raking technique allows for a fast bypass of the internal lock mechanism, especially on locks that follow a similar design, such as those used in many Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

4. Compatibility:

   • The HU64 inner groove pick is specifically designed for Mercedes-Benz cars, making it an essential tool for automotive locksmiths or anyone who works with these locks regularly. It is effective for a wide range of Mercedes models that use the HU64 keyway.

Why Use the HU64 Inner Groove Pick:

• Efficiency: The raking method allows for fast entry into Mercedes-Benz vehicles with HU64 locks, making this tool highly efficient for locksmiths.
• Specialized Tool: Unlike general-purpose picks, the HU64 pick is tailor-made for Mercedes-Benz locks, ensuring a high success rate and minimal effort.
• Simple to Use: It’s easy to use once you’re familiar with the technique, as the raking motion is straightforward and can be applied to different locks of the same type.

Usage Tips:

• Apply Light Tension: Start by gently applying pressure with the tension tool. Too much tension can make it harder to rake the lock, so find the sweet spot of light, consistent pressure.
• Practice: As with any raking technique, practice is key. Familiarize yourself with how much tension is needed and how the pick interacts with the wafers inside the lock.
• Smooth, Repeated Motion: Move the pick in and out of the keyway smoothly and at a consistent rate to maximize the chance of success.

The HU64 Inner Groove Pick is an essential tool for anyone working with Mercedes-Benz locks, offering a quick and efficient method for bypassing these locks without causing damage. The combination of the tension tool and the raking pick ensures ease of use and effectiveness.
