While I read through this thread, I started to think about flexible tips for picks. I like the idea, and I'm currently thinking about one made from relatively soft spring steel wire. I think the brush style could work too. I'm asking myself how many people have badmouthed them without realy trying to get used to them. Is the manufacturer able to open locks with them?
I hope this will carify what im thinking about:
handle.....pic bent form spring steel wire
