Having the sleeve to keep it from over rotating makes more sense when it has
that dud pin. You don't want to bump that pin so it would have more relief. If
you over rotated, you'd need another key with the dud pin in the new location.
That would be a pain for doing each position with a new key.

The idea is not to pick it open but to make a key. Once you've rotated half way
between two pins, you can remove the tool and measure the heights of the pins.
I like the idea of having a limiter sleeve on the outside to ride in the
slot.

The Chicago Ace (tubular) lock is USUALLY easier to pick (with the right
tension wrench), since you have access to all of the pins, without having
to reach past a pin to get to another.

Looking at how things work, there is a new method used to pick locks that works
a little to well. It is a thing called a bump key. To make one for this
cylinder lock would be tricky. Still, it could be done.
The principle is that you bounce the tumbler pins in, while holding light
tension. The
