electric toothbrush idea

[kevin911]

i figured it has probably been done, since it seems really obvious. But has anyone taken an electric toothbrush and made a vibrating pick out of it?

Bin dun, have a search within this very section. The general concensus, however, is that the toothbrush doesn't have the necessary power. Tried a spin-brush and achieved not much more than a fast rake. Electric scissors, shavers/trimmers have also been tried, with limited success. Have a go at something yourself, and please post your results...you may find something that others have missed.

Good luck.

oooh, not enough power. Then it seems you people are inexperienced with the magic of modifications

A few extra batteries and some special tuning will get that baby humming, you may even be able to make a dremel tool to build picks.

Then do it and post your results here. I look forward to it.

As will I. How about using an actual vibrator? Just make sure you tell the adult shop clerk that you're going to turn it into a lock pick gun!

im sure someone posted a guide to making an electric toothbrush electric pick somewhere on here before, they mentionned the point that it wasnt powerful enough and said you needed to get a battery holder so it held a bigger battery, 9v i think it was, cant remember exactly though, no doubt a bit ofsearching will find it!

I'm still trying to fine tune the tips; just can't seem to get one just right.
