Falle 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.

Picks,

Postby Prodigy » 10 Mar 2004 18:50

Guys, I dont know what all the fuss is, I have a set of falle picks and they are picks. I have been picking locks for some time and yes i agree every one is different but hey you all have an imagination and plenty of pics from the net.

make them, i do. I have plenty of picks for every sort of lock and i also make them too, all my own design.

my latest set are relly big, i have bigboy hands and you could almost row a boat, but hey, i need the grip.

ill post some photos

Prodigy,

Any chance you can tell us where you got them? Might not be helpful, but I'm always looking for a reliable source, for when I (eventually) scrape together the cash. I'd like to at least see what all the fuss is about, if it's not just the price.

Picks

Postby Prodigy » 10 Mar 2004 19:55

Mate,

im in the US at The moment, and if you can buy handguns from walmart, Lockpicks (southord) from the 2Buck shop in Coral spring FL im sure you could come up with a set of picks from somewhere. As far as I am to beleive most of the states are not reuiring you to have a licence.

Im in Atlanta at the moment and have asked a few Locksmiths and they are not aware of licencing. Dont quote me. I got mine direct from John Falle as we work on some stuff, he has some of mine and I muck around designing others.

Just keep calm they will show up and yes good tools cost a penny or to.

That sounds pretty advanced.

Has anyone tried making this style of tension tool(image below)?
I'm going to try to make some and any pointer's or material sudjestions would be great.
Also has anyone used this style of tension tool? How well does it work, and for what different kinds of locks does it work best? thanks.

I've heard absolutely nothing but good about those wrenches. If I could find a source for 'em, I'd buy them immediately, and I think they're about fifty bucks. The reason I haven't tried to fabricate them is that the whole advantage of using 'em is the PRECISE dimensions of the metal (width/thickness especially), and I couldn't duplicate that.

i_want_to_pick the image is no longer working (something about losing weight?) and prodigy, wha material did you make those picks out of? (obviously not hacksaw blades because of the bend in material. Did you cut it out of a sheet?

Temporary Internet Files cache? Different browser? There could be lots of reasons.
