Just go on to a site that sells picks and have a look. the only 2 you wont find on there are the bottom 2 which are the King and Queen picks.

I was looking at them thinking "would they even fit into a lock?" .
Anyone made/used these ? Do they work ?

You can park a bus in the keyway of american locks not alone worrying about sticking those picks in it

Point taken, it's just they look like they should be making that "beep beep" sound that trucks make when reversing

I bet they would do me at work for ripping skirting boards off walls and the like

Lol, they are supposed to be quite good i think, have a read up on them

[JackNco]

There was also a guy making some on here with bogota handles, i think he modified them slightly as well. If im right they were called Columbian royals. but all of this may have only happened in my head. so until some one else can back me up on this we shall assume im just going a little crazy.

Use the template you linked in the opening post. The "they are big" reerence was to the two picks seen on that template at the bottom, the King and Queen picks/rakes. Just print that template so that the picture is aound 5 or 6 inches wide and the picks will be about the normal size

Sorry for crappy english.

Don't worry, your english is far better than what I occasionally have to see from these forums

Thaks i found what I want the names of the picks i have already printed it and it just 5 inches i will see if I am going to make the last two Queen and King picks and thats all thanks a lot to everyone

[JackNco]

although they are meant to be good i would stear clear until have single pin picking under your belt. raking and jiggeling can be a good way to get some locks open but it will get you in to bad habits if its the first method you learn.

Now i am in no way saying i am better than anyone or even an especially good pick. but if you watch a lot of youtube videos most of the ones that rake and then try to learn to SPP later on in there videos generally have a quite sloppy technique. they mostly jab about and end up tring to rake with a hook because they get frustrated.

All the best

I concurr, leave the king and queen until you can pick,

They need to be used in a specific manner and you wont need or have that skill for a while yet,

Stick to the dimound, hooks and tension wrenches, fancy picks dont always work the best,

Also the king and queen as seen on that picture may need altering for your lock spacings etc,
