I picked up a cheapie warded padlock (among a few other locks to play with), just to check out the picking of warded locks today. So, I got to thinking about how alot of the warded picks look, and reight away I thought of one of my tension tools that has a very short stub after the elbow, I used that to navigate the wards, and found the latch pretty easy... POP! felt good! Easy, but still good...

Made from windshield wiper stiffener, with a 1/8 tab bent over to go in the keyway. It was the first one I made, and falls out of most keys, but hung onto it anyway, figured that I'd never know when it might come in handy. Guess I figured out where it would!
