It is for cars, and has something to do with the steering lock column. It was on Lockpickshop.com.

i looked at it on lockpickshop, i would say it just looks like a normal pick with a fancy handle on it, if it is just that, you'd probably be better off buying a normal pick set and using that, its a lot cheaper!

It would appear that this is for picking steering lock deviced (ie, the club). Not sure that it is necessary though, 'cause I understand that these are pretty easy to pick in the first place.

It's basically a double ball pick for picking things like "the club". The only good thing about it is that it is easier to use if the keyway is in a bad position.

Best avoided really.

Hey Romstar, so are you saying this is a double ball with a built in circular torque? Sounds pretty narrow as to applications this can have :(.

Yeah, well it is actually pretty limited. That was the point I think. Of course, some people awctually believe that the club works, so I guess there are a few suckers born all the time.

Thats one style. Other stles have the lock in the end of the bar as opposed to in the middle.

you would only be able to turn left

anyone seen gone in 60 seconds? - he just takes the stearing wheel off and uses another one

As most car thieves know you just kick these things off, why waste time trying to pick it.

These things might be insecure, but they stopped my car from being stolen. I went inside to take my brother to his piano lesson (in a bad neighborhood) and when I came out wires were sticking out under the steering wheel (in what appeared to be a failed attempt at hot-wiring) but my car, with the club in place, was still there.

and if you dont carry a spare sterring wheel in your backpocket you can always put a pair of stilsons on the column, itll turn you left and right easily enough, but lets not get off topic too much ey, hehe
