Snake Keys, try-out keys for rapid lock raking
Snake keys are raking keys cut with serpentine profiles that you jiggle and rake in the keyway to set pins quickly. They are a fast, playful route into raking on suitable pin-tumbler locks, letting you feel for opens without methodical single-pin picking.
