laminated ripple handles

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.

laminated ripple handles

Postby CrookieMonster » 10 Jul 2010 15:08

im thinking of ordering a euro wave jiggle and my question is:
would you feel more feedback from the laminated ripple handle or the laminated ripple core handle?
ive heard good things about both.. i mainly want to order this so i can try out this different handles incase i want to make my own.. they are cheap enough that ill mostlikely order a set of both but id love to get some feedback.. big thanks in advance..

It has been brought to my attention that some users do not like the fact that my username has the word "Crook" in it. It is a 10 year old gamertag and I am working on changing it. I hope that it has not caused any confusion // misinterpretation.

Both handle types are stiff as the laminated plain handles, and have equal feel if you are holding the pick in a 'pencil grip'. The ripple core feels a touch large in the hand, the plain ripple feels somehow 'curvy' to me.

Neither is good or bad, just different. Depends on what your preferences are. Why not get both, practice awhile, and see what they do for you?

After all, you can NEVER have enough picks.

euro wave jiggler is a ripoff of the bogota by a scammer who was trying to con me while ripping it off.

The product is inferior, and the handles are not the kind that work well on that rake.

i know this and you know that i love your product and stand by it.. i was simply refering to the handle not the rake..
