Plug Pullers

I know its not exactly lock picking, but sometimes needs must. What does everybody think about these tools?
I am thinking about buying a kit, seems they are mostly good for euro profile locks. It is probably quicker with this type of lock to to pull the plug unlock the door and change the lock which are not expensive. They do no damage to the doors as far as I know is this true? Has anybody ever used one of these tools and are they worth the money if you are considering going into the emergency opening business?

As you are already familiar with Multipick-services, I take it your talking about the Glocke, it will also pull the entire cylinder out if required, it has two special plates you use with it to pull just the plug (Profile or round cylinder locks) either method is not destructive, at least not to the lock the profile cylinder is installed in.
You will also need pulling screws, and I would recommend a universal short key to open the lock with once the job is done, last but not least, the screws are Torx screws size 20, you can either use a T handled driver or also purchase from MPS the drill bit adaptor.
As for is it worth it, I think it is well worth it, and the feed back I have had from others that have purchased one all agree. The biggest suprise is how smooth it actually works, the pins and side retaining pins may have well have been made of cheese it is so smooth, no noise no fuss, if anything it's underated.

I use a cylinder snapper rather than a puller, works a treat on cylinders (euro and oval)
sledgehammers make excellent back up picks!

Locksmith supplier, Multipick etc. But I dont really see how owning one would fit into a lockpicking hobby. If you were a locksmith you wouldnt have need of asking us where to purchase one...

Have you used it that often Ian? For 100 Euro's+VAT, is it not just as quick and easy to drill the cylinder if you're unable to pick or snap it?

But does this not destroy the cylinder too, or have I got the concept wrong?
