Hi,
OK, after I wrote two postings in other threads I finally get to my introduction here
I'm a hobbyist lockpicker from germany, have been picking for about 5 years now so I have some experience, but I'm practicing much less than some others here... I never built own tools except fora few tensions wrenches (even though I attended a workshop once and got some brickstrap lying around for years now

but bought quite some over the time, for those interested, my "collection" contains:
- My first set, made by "ilco", containing about 20 standard-tools including a 4-dip-snake which I use a lot
- A few HPC PIP-11/13, ordered a few once for friends and had too much afterwards
- the HPC KGB Set, really a nice small set, but I broke my snake
- a HPC Pen Pick-Set which mainly is the HPC-2000 tools as needles (could be used in an e-pick, too) and a pen-shaped holding device. Not sold anymore as far as I can see, but you can see it on the image I posted in the handcuff thread.
- the HPC Coumputer Picks
- the HPC Flip-it, not usefull in sport but quite some help in the cases where friends need help with their front door, of which I had quite a few so far... Not all needed picking, though
- The Souber Tools London set for DOM-style locks (don't know how these are called in english), it's often sold as specially for mul-t-locks but I only used it for DOMs so far
- The Southord jackknife pick set
- A few tools I bought as add-ons, like a hook and two snakes from the HPC 2000 series with rubber coated end and some extra tension tools
So much for today,
Martin
