For the Abus 64TI/50, I use the Peterson .040 pry bar and Peterson hook 1 in .018. Once you've picked it a few times and know the binding order, the lock becomes pretty easy to pick consistently.
The Master Lock 570 is a challenging lock due to the dead core. I recommend working your way up to this lock. The Master Lock 140, Brinks 40mm (non-brass), and Abus 55/40. For these locks I use Sparrows' BOK tension and Peterson hook 1 in .025.
Once you've got these down, you can step up to the Paclock 90A, Master Lock 410, and American 1100. For these locks I'll use the previously mentioned Peterson hook 1 in .018, Peterson hook 7 in .018, the previously mentioned Peterson .040 pry bar, and the Peterson .050 pry bar.
Good luck!
What do you think you are going to try to work on next? I highly suggest skipping the master 140 and getting the brinks 40 mm laminated padlock or the brinks brass padlock
I feel bad that ever since I made my list everyone seems to be buying the locks. The Brinks used to be a$5 addon,and now it is $10. You may be able to get it at Walmart of cheaper.
I like the Brinks because they are a 4 pin lock with good feedback (master 140 feedback is not as strong), and it has one non-threatening spool. My experience it is in pin 4 usually. You can get a nice little false set on the lock, and some good counter rotation on the spool.
some of those are stupid expensive outside the US though, brinks 40mm in USA $7 on amazon uk £40 ($50)
You could get the sparrows progressive lock set shipped from canada for about the same.
edit: I think OP's USA based but it might help others to know
