Made my first lock picks.

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.

Made my first lock picks.

All I used was a couple saw blades, an angle grinder and a dremel. the only on the top was the first one. kinda rough.

The middle one I am very happy with. Using a sparrow hook as a general shape, I sandwiched the handle of the pick with two rounded off pieces of saw blade to thickin it up a little bit. then dipped it in plasti dip

The third one is a dimple lock pick. I mainly followed bosnianbill on that one.

Yea I know they're not the prettiest picks in the world. But they work, and with practice I will be able to make some nice looking picks.

building these is a lot of fun and you can make any sort of shaped pick you want.
