Yeah, they are fairly cheap. If you are lucky, you can find them at "99 cent only" stores, 2 for a dollar.

The only ones I have found at the dollar stores are garbage.
Unless I get really lucky, I guess I will be buying real x-acto knife handles.

I'd just finished them and logged on as soon as I got in. So, to answer, not yet..heh. I'm going to have a go at every lock I own this weekend.
 If it ain't broke.....pull it down and see how it works anyway!

It will be a many types of wrakes and many sizes of hooks, half-diamonds and half-balls. I need also a more tension tools and many, many difrent wrakes.
That will be it.

i think you should make a couple more diamonds and hooks, and start with learning good picking skills, and practicing a lot, since raking doesn't accomplish the same result as individual picking  just from my experience, im only using 1 diamond at the moment

Me too  I also think that individual picking is the best way to open every lock. So I need only a lots of more practice.
P.S. where can i find a movies, of people who picking locks? i got some but on all is only raking... i want a individual picking! it is what i need.
see ya
Thanks for fast reply.
