Just FYI people, it might be prudent to assess your calipers periodically. I've noticed a steady rate of depreciation on my calipers. It's slow enough that a casual locksmith might never notice in a decade of picking, however after probably 100000 boxes (I have no official counts, still adding those features to the script) my calipers were unable to be brought back to "new" condition even with multiple detune/retunes. This is the second time I've experienced this. The first time I figured it was because I had cheapo "professional" calipers... This time was with some more pricey imflass calipers from the locksmith in Cysaegir.

Carry on people... Just thought I'd share what I've observed.

I also noticed this on my vaalin calipers. I was getting better reads with the crappy basic ones.
