my new pickset and tape case

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.

its just the pick made of wiper inserts sandwiched between two pieces of wiper insert. I used JB weld epoxy to stick it all together and then two layers of shrink tubing. it makes the handles extremely stiff, i would have to try really hard to bend them. they have a very nice weight and pick great.
