No, I think she's had enough crackers, don't you? LOL

That seems like a pretty cool idea, but I think with a little ingenuity and patience anyone here could build the same pickset or a better one. Plus the price is pretty high. You could buy a decent set from South Ord or off of the lock pick shop for the same price. Then again forty dollars would buy a lot of spring steel or hacksaw blades. With money for beer to spare.

I'm actually in the process of making a pick holder thing with a Billabong Wax Comb that comes with billabong Board SHorts.

Mine kinda looks like this except bigger and it has a bottle opener on the bottom.

The white piece with the elastic band comes out, and attatched is a small Hex-wrench. I;m going to drill out a bigger space and weld a shortened pick to the hex wrench and be able to slip it in and out.

For those of you who care, I'm bilding this now and I'll post a more detailed step by step instruction on how to make one when I finnish mine with pictures and all.

that credit card thing looks like some idea of 'eddie the wire' or 'steve hampton' I saw it in some picking pamphlet somewhere.

Inspired, I made my own "spy gadget."

by **EGOOT247** » 15 Jan 2006 10:23

Aw, NO!

It didn't work...

Sorry, I am going to go read up on posting pictures...

I got it!

An ordinary compact that every female SUPPOSEDLY carries, Right?

WRONG!

It is really a top secret gadget used by Alex Rider, containing the only few picks that actually fit, and an SAK, the things that any spy may need... :lol:

I'm kidding, Alex Rider, a fictional teenage spy, books written by Anthony Horowitz, never touched it...

Do you think I am clever enough to invent the crazy spy gadgets that Hollywood portrays? :lol:

I was thinking a zippo pickset would be kinda snappy, or take the shell of a CD player, and line it with foam like a pelican case that snaps open with a button, or a pez dispenser. I want some type of pickset far more tackier and unusefull than anything that could be in a james bond movie.

I think the foam in the staggared hindged trays of a not-jewerly box would be pretty clean looking.

Zippo pick set! DUDE! That would be neat....

You know what would make it better? A zippo pick set with a zippo that still works! im not gonna carry 2 zippo's on me... that would be suspicious. As if a 16 year old carrying a real zippo doesent make em wonder, but carrying 2? heh.

Buy real ZIPPO's cheapo's suck!

I like that... Are you going to try?
Inspiration is only the 1st step...

I don't have a zippo yet. I don't know too much about them, but I think you can slide out the top to fill the fluid. I was thinking something along the lines of covert underneath the actual assembly, then there is the whole space issue on the pics, be nice to have folding ones on dividers or something really cool. If push came to shove you could just use the zippo snap case, but that would loose all cool points. Just an idea so far.

Step 1 buy zippo
Step 2 plan
Step 3 actually go through with it
Step 4 \o/ (?)
Step 5 profit.

0_0 if they fill from the bottom, I can make that into a button with a slide out bottom part like on a magazine, put a u shaped cradle in it with the pics and a pin spring so it slides out at ya. I guess picking one of the same styles from a gas station wouldn't kill me. I want the zippo to still work aswell.

by **Gear Head** » 15 Jan 2006 23:47

(-_-) I'm guessing that I am bound to the deal now, I will try to find common parts for the assembly so you guys can duplicate it.

by **Gear Head** » 16 Jan 2006 2:12

From what I can see, it's just too small. I suppose you could slide out the lighter's body and just use the snap case, but there is no fun in that.

I have no ideas how I could dremel out something with fine small cuts, but this would be the only halfway practical method I could see while keeping the James-Bondness cliche
