Just another idea to carry your 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.

Very sharp looking set there Paulchin20
those wiper blades look a lil thick though do you have any issues using them?

Hi Hollywood,

So far the pick works ok for me and a couple of my friends who use them :)

Managed to rake 5-pin deadbolts, doorknob locks, pick 6-pin padlocks using them. Also can used it quite successfully on wafer camlocks found in office drawers and cabinets. But for smaller keyholes, it might pose a problem, yes.

Below u can gauge the relative thickness of the pick in comparison with a padlock:

Home made picks

A very nice looking handle, I'd made something like this, but then I lost it since I didnt use it pretty much.

I prefer being able to choose my pick right away so I use double ended picks. I sewed a small wallet like pouch that can be opened like a notebook, so you can strap it to you leg while you seat/stand... this way I can change picks without letting go the lock with the tension wrench :D

Both the multipick and the tension wrench is made from wiper blade inserts. :D
