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.

What is the first pick used for? It looks like a hook, but it also has a bump on it like a rake. Is it for nudging a non-binding pin out of the way while you SPP a deeper pin?

If you want finer sand paper, there is an easy trick to it.

Take two pieces of 600 grit and rub them together. You now have two pieces of 1200 grit paper.

Off the top of my head, a sheet of notebook paper is about the same as 1100 grit sand paper. 1100 might be off a little, but it is close.
