Lock picks
I've been busy today.
Making part of a new set of picks.
I would write a guide but there is a million of them out there. If you need templates or any help making some though, post here, and I'll see what we can do.
The tips are actually polished, just didn't show up well in the pic, also the paper is warped not the picks.
The cost of commercial picks is outrageous, so I might start making these for cheap for people in the future. Anyone interested? You'd be able to pick and choose which picks you wanted, the finish, all of that.

What the hell is that? that looks too wild to be of any real use on most locks I've come across.
Really? Since that is twice now I'll explain. Any pick can be used in any way that works for you really, but that one...
...let's say the front pins set really low, and the lock is tight enough that pushing on them at all will push them above the shear line. How do you reach the very back pin?
It also isn't as curved as it looks in the picture, the paper the are taped to is all bent, so the shadows are kind of funny.
Those ones usually you can buy in all different amounts of curve.
I'd be very interested in seeing your methods. The picks I buy online always fucking bend on me. :mad:
The bottom two are the king and queen. Not what I was referring to though, the ones I'm talking about do look similar.
No.
Kind of like this, but sharper bends.
I had a decent jackife set that I lost the same week I lost my pocket knife...not sure where my mind was that week. Hopefully they will show up eventually.
WTF are you doing here anyway, t2 server blow up?
Anyways, I did find the commercial picks I've bought to be too thick for tiny padlocks and filing cabinets (I should have just used a hammer but I was practicing picking). I've heard European Locks are a lot smaller than US ones. Now that I've had some experience picking I'll probably make my next set. I may have a friend waterjet cut them for me or I may make them by hand. Depends how lazy I feel and what material I want to make them out of. Titanium would be nice but not to try to make by hand.
