All in one pick? Best Pick?

Postby unholywar23 » Sun Dec 18, 2011 7:49 am

Hello I'm new here so be gentle :) I was wondering if there is a pick that picks most basic locks. Like house locks. I realize they can all be different but what is the best tool to use. I dont want to carry around a lot of different picks. If anyone has ever watched the show Dexter he only has one pick and gets in within seconds. I know its a show, but still. Any help at all please.

10.) Where can I buy some picks, and what should I buy?

viewtopic.php?t=1423 is a complete stickie on this topic. Information that bears repeating 1.) http://www.lockpickshop.com is a forum sponsor, and will give members a 10% discount if they use the coupon code lp101
A site that has a similar URL http://www.thepickshop.com has poor customer service, and seems to not reply to email. Buy at your own risk, but don’t say you haven’t been warned.

My first pick was a thin half diamond. It was okay, but not ideal.

Become proficient with a simple hook- style pick. I'm of the opinion that this is really the only pick a beginner should use, and its good for opening most pin or wafer locks.

Again, that's just my personal opinion, and I'm sure there are some who will call me crazy.
