Thinking about a set

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

Thinking about a set

Postby urbantech » 29 Oct 2006 2:33

I'm thinking about making a set with the wiper blades, does anyone know of any other household items to use, i know there are threads on this but i would like opinions on what works the best and is less tidious to make.

Also do you think this will be of any use?

you can probably make a pick out of that... although i have a feeling its tool steel which means you will be grinding for awhile.

Looks to me, it's way to thick for pickmaking.
You'd better search for treads on pickmaking, there's plenty of them wich explain all there is to know about it.

Just take the time to read up on it, it'll make all the difference in the end. 8)
