Mechanical pick gun vs. electric pick

Mechanical pick gun vs. electric pick

Postby redarmy757 » 20 Jun 2006 20:02

I'm just wondering which is better: a mechanical pick gun(Ex: EZ Snap Lock Pick Gun) or an electric pick(Ex: E100HO Electric Lock Pick- 4.5 volt)

By better I mean: ease of use, time required to pick a lock, and skill level required

Welcome to LOCKPICKING101.COM

so you've decided to try the hobby/pastime of lockpicking
might i suggest that you start off with a thorough reading
of the MIT guide to lockpicking ( use the search feature )
after you've become aquainted with to basics of how a lock
works and the principles of lockpicking
you must decide whether you want to buy factory-made picks
or try to make your own picks

don't get discouraged
some members pick their first lock on their first try
and some members wait days/weeks before they pick their first lock

if you have any questions about manual lockpicking
use the search feature above
or feel free to use your second post
to ask another question
