You can also use the command, NOT, as in.... NOT commercial?

Once you get the hang of the fundamentals behind picking a lock, you'll start looking at things and thinking "I could use that for a tension wrench" or "That would make a good rake". It starts to become a bad habit, along with stopping every time you walk past something to see what kind of lock is on it. :)

For example, I'm currently making an electric pick out of a milk frother. BTW, I'll post results when done. :wink:

..And twenty years later if councelling hasn't happened yet,
the national paper will show that a string of bank robberies
have happened where the vault door and all the safety
deposit boxes are left opened, with nothing taken.
