Lore:
The Ambleshift's Automated Archaeological Antiquity Analyzer, AKA the A5 comes with the following tools depending on how you hold it:

Primary - Sense Traps
When the A5 is used in the primary hand it has the ability to detect if the object you are dealing with is trapped. Useful when dealing with potentially deadly treasure chests.

Secondary - Disarm Traps
Once you have determined whether an object is trapped you will likely want to circumvent the device before it kills your party with deadly spikes or gas. Simply move the A5 to your secondary hand and let it do the work.

Range - Pick Lock
Once you are safely assured that the object you are dealing with is no longer trapped you may encounter a lock. Never fear, the A5 when placed in the range slot can defeat most modern cursed, magical or mechanical locks.

Special note: The effectiveness of the A5 will improve as you collect more archaeological relics for Archivist Dominic Moore in the Dead Hills.

A5 requires a target and locked doors are not target-able, so no.
11 times a fail

I have turned in all except 5 pieces now. The spell cast is Reebo's Greater Exorcism ( as opposed to lesser last week when I still needed 8). and I failed to remove trap 11 times in a row. That was sickening. Using this, getting this done, was supposed to prevent me from having to memorize spells. Up till now its been ok ( 5 fails using lesser I can see). Just a warning to others - there is no guarantee.

Handing in a personal letter gave only coin. No locket or note back.

Forgot to ask about necessary tools!

1) Can duplicate items be handed in to "improve" the Analyzer?

2) How do we know when it is maxed?

1) No, you cannot hand in duplicates. He hands them back and insults you if you do this.

2) You have to keep track of what you've handed in--since there doesn't appear to be an in-game task list associated with this.

I used up 22 scrying stones to disarm three chests in Excavating an Answer. The first one I gave up after five tries and just beat on, spawning an add every 20% or so.
