I love the fact that you are constantly brainstorming...Keep it up.
I don't think this idea will catch on however.
The setup is kinda cumbersome.
And most locksmiths don't use bump keys.

thanks GOD!!i got one comment..hahaha however my Dear friend, i dont agree with you when you said most locksmith dont use bumpkeys..ask 10 locksmiths if they never use bumpkeys..if you get just even one out of that ten.. that say he never...you win. regards pal..and thanks for the encouragements.

I am a locksmith.Over 30 years in the business.
I never use bump keys professionally.
Have I tried them, sure, out of curiosity, and they work.
But why would I as a professional use a ghetto tool when I have
Professional tools available. You would have to have a drawer full of
bump keys in order to be prepared for any circumstance OR
carry one Life-Aid pick gun.

I'll take a poll on the 3 locksmith sites I belong to.
I'll let you know how it comes out.

I am a bit surprised at the polling results.
I got responses from 25 full-time professional locksmiths.
Here are the results:

Yes, I use them all the time = 4
Yes, But never in front of a customer = 6
Sometimes = 6
Rarely, when everything else has failed = 6
No, I never use bump keys = 3

So out of 25 people, you may get 22 customers for your invention.
Not a bad percentage.
Go get 'em!

Votes are trickling in now
Yes, I use them all the time = 10
Yes, But never in front of a customer = 8
Sometimes = 9
Rarely, when everything else has failed = 15
No, I never use bump keys = 15

Kinda looking more like 50/50 now.
Still, a lot more bumpin' going on out there than I would have guessed
