Hello to all out there!!

I have a question...... does anyone have any suggestions for a carry case for home made lockpicks?

Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You could use a sun glass case. I went to Walmart and asked this guy how much this case was and he said its not for sale and he gave it to me for free.

What I have used for homemade picks is a drill bit roll (For auger/flat drills). A nylon/leahter roll holds many picks (I make my picks from half a hacksaw blade to make them slightly taller to fit my case).

I never thought about that. Good idea.

Get yourself a needle and some thread. Then go buy a yard of whatever -- I used black denim, and it works just fine. If you have the dexterity to make lock picks, a little bit of sewing shouldn't be a problem.

I use a hard sunglass case a friend didn't need anymore. It had a plastic/fuzzy lining that I cut to make little holders for my picks to slip into. Works great! They don't even clink around.

I use a case from an old nail file set ... far better than a southord type leather pouch

While I plan on slapping together some sort of nylon case to hook on a beltloop with my other tools (pliers/multitool, the picks and a knife) I currently have all of my picks made from a feeler gauge set. They all rotate into it and it has a thumbscrew to tighten them. Right now they just sit hapily in my pocket.

"ps I like coffee too"

Right now its finals week at my school and I got four exams in just over 24 hours, I haven't slept in a few days so I might be missing a joke or something but, what are you talking about?
