hacksaw 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.

I sort of had a revelation.. I realized that lockpicking is like makin love.. gotta know when to press hard and when to be tender ;)

now that i'm being a bit more gentle.. i can get it with 4 pins pretty good.. just gotta listen and pay attention to how things feel

lost the spring to the fifth pin, though GRR :( Gotta comb the workspace, dont want to buy another lock
