id agree. and you may want to add in one or two basic (read: hook and diamond) slimline picks.

shrub...how come you never just call it a sig. instead you say "the picture in the thread..." just call it a sig, even those not very familiar with forums are at least smart enough to know that a sig is probably short for signature, and so thus, probably the picture down there.

just an idea.

I use homemade picks, brass rod picks, bent nail wrenches, wiperblade wrenches, anything goes!

I like that Shrub is calling his sig a picture, because that is what it is, and, a very pretty one too!

I did´nt know that, I thought that "sig" was its very name, thanks Shrub :P

:D

Before you pick a lock:
The first thing that you should do is check to make sure that
the lock is your's and secondly make sure its not in use.
