All I have is a tension wrench made from a windshield wiper insert and a short hook made from a bit of an old eyeglass earpiece.
Works fine, never needed any others except maybe a nice rake. :lol:
I can pick a Medeco with two paperclips and a stick of gum.HA.

The rocker picks etc. are bought in a kit....LT620 Grand Master Pick Set.....the others are made from wiper blade inserts and dipstick blades. The wiper blade pick handles are made from two or three layers of heat shrink tubing, starting with the smallest that will fit over the handle end and subsequent layers applied using the same method.

They work well enough in standard sized keyways and are excellent for the smaller keyways found in the smaller padlocks such as used on luggage. Using a little imagination, you can make picks of a similar profile to standard picks by curving up the business end before the actual shaping is done. i.e. you can make an upward curve in the 'pick' end and then shape a half diamond on the tip, the result being that you end up with sort of a combination half diamond/hook.

Man, you have one heck of a super set of tools! I like your workmanship.

Thanks. The better the finish on the pick, the easier it is to move around in the keyway without sticking etc. :wink:

Here a couple automotive tool set I just got this month. The tools on top is the jiffy jak set from Tech Train and the stuff on the bottom is the pick set from Lock Technology. I have found the jiffy jak to be very easy to use which actually delivers what its advertised to do. After a few practice runs on my car and my friends vehicles (with permission ofcourse) I feel totally comfortable with it. Not pictured is a 15 min instructional video for the jiffy jak.

You can see the jiffy jak in action at www.techtrainproductions.com.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture
