made new set

Postby Ganphra » 17 Dec 2006 19:39

well.....i was gonna buy a lockpick set then thought......i learnt to pick locks learning just a bobby pin and a clip from a pen....so using needle nose plyers ive made a mini set out of bobby pins and pen clips and a file (being the magyvery kinda guy i am) and they work suprisingly well.....i made a half hook, half diamond, snake auto pick and several torque wrenchs and they all work great.....so until i decide to start up a bussiness or not when i get locked outta my house ill hava few picks in my wallet (btw it took sooooo longs to file the picks smooth...haha) so im gonna take a few picks and post em here....and also possibly a vid of me using them....

critic and thoughts or advice please.....im still reletivly new to locksmithing...

p.s. im spelling bad cause im ina hurry

well....i figured that if I started learning to pick with bobby pins then when I get real picks it would be way easier...right? anyways i just made a bunch more that ill post later...now i have an 8 piece set...a few hooks....a few half diamonds...steep and shallow......a few snakes.....a king......and then my wrench....and i find they work quite well...and if you want i may post a few vids of me in action...






Happy Holidays and New Year

wow, thats WAY better than my bobby pin set (then again I made mine in like 30 minutes, and they arent incredibly smooth...) I have a standard southord set, so I made mine really small so they could fit in real tight areas where my southords can't... and fit in my wallet easily just in case I need it for my house/locker/anything else you could possibly get locked out of :lol: . Those are some good pics by the way, I'm curious as to what your tension wrench is made of and/or how it was made. The pins I used were fairly small so they could fit in small locks, so the flat end of one of them wasn't big enough to fit in as a tension wrench. That was quickly solved, however, by hammering the crap out of the end :twisted: .

By the way, it does get easier with real picks... trust me... WAY easier. It may take you a day or two to get used to 'em, but after that, smooth sailing.
It's ok guys, i have a really bad attention sp-wow look, a beach!

well the torque wrench is a street sweeper bristle but i never carry that around.....i just carry my set...which has 3 new picks...they're kind of crummy cause i hurried through makin em...only took me 2-3 MINS....(now that i think of it only took me 6-7 hours to make the entire set but ive spent countless hours using them).

and i carry a pen that i modded a bit so that if i need a wrench i can just pull out the clip then when im done out it back on...hehe....and ways im thinkin of posting a few vids of me usin em....also if you have any questions about how i made/use them just ask :)
