spring steel supliers?

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.

I'll have to keep my eye out on those. :wink:


Thats because in Texas everyone roasts whole sides of beef, nobody messes around with puny little skewers. :P

I've seen a few posts where people have said they've used fish tape (used for passing cables through walls).

I agree, why mess with a little piece when you can grill a whole side of cow...LoL

adamd, that is the next best thing to use apart from hacksaw blades and feeler guages. They're a bit thicker but still work perfectly.

I tried looking at Bunnings (pretty much the place to be for any trade/DIY projects around here) and they had nothing. The hobby place down the road didn't have anything either. All i could get were some spring and stainless steel wire (which i got anyway).
