Judging from the demonstration videos, it appears to be effortless and noiseless (the sound is muffled by the lock cylinder). There was one video taken at a home and personal security convention where they trained an 11 year old girl to bump locks. With 3 minutes of training, she successfully bumped 2 locks.

3 gators? Are you serious, Kev? Aren't there some ownership legality issues? They probably each have a daily diet requirement of one household pet (like chihuahuas).
