wiper inserts me and a file

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.

As rough and probably over done they jiggle locks pretty well. At least what locks I have.I made these tonight one is being made on bottom photo. The top is my finished product. Just experimenting with picking. These took a lot of filing.

Nice! How long does it take you to file one down?

I spent 20 min or so on the two, not counting sanding and polishing

Not bad.

For some reason it's tough to find decent wiper inserts up here. Either the wipers are ALl plastic or have the very narrow metal strips.

This was the only set that was a good thickness. I have 1 set of very thick ones also. And many many slim ones.
