How to: gloves' scorpion wrench

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.

My comment on grinding all that metal away is that it's surely more labor intensive given the ratio of mass you begin with/target mass compared to just bending and shaping with minimal modifications. It seems neater to me, that's all. :)

Well if they didn't sit properly I guess it's not fault of the design, it may just be different thickness in stock metal. You may also need more than one given the different shapes and sizes of locks.
As for the flashlight, you'd use one mounted on a tripod or on a bendable arm on a suction cup if there really is a need for it.
I always used wrenches more as picks than as leverage, so anything 0.6mm thick and upwards if fine for my picking needs :)

Cheers :D
