My set.

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.

Ok, this is one of my home made sets.
It is very small and consists of windscreen wiper blades and a little heat shrink tube

It is not my intention to make you all jealous, however I feel I have to show off my set.

Image

The pick is cut from one of those flimsy inserts for the back of ATX cases (for different I/O options on different motherboards.)

The wrench is I believe an old broken pick, that I've had in my tool box for 10 years, and have no idea where it may have come from. custom bent with a pair o' pliers.

The two guard padlocks I also found in my tool box, I don't have a key for the smaller of the two, but I've managed to open it regardless (with the pictured tools of course.)

Total cost so far, $0 (in any currency). I even printed up the MIT guide at work so I didn't have to use my own paper :)

The lock of my filing cabinet opens rather easily, but I'm sure anything would open it up without much trouble, same with a lock on a cabinet at work (which I have the key to btw), and three times I've managed to open that small guard padlock (No luck yet on the larger). I guess my stubborn persistence made up for the pick's inadequacies.

However my "half diamond" is getting a little too malleable with the constant bending and reshaping. I think I'll retire it now while it's still in once piece, and wait to see what the future holds :D :) :D






well, maybe I'll try the larger padlock just one more time... :wink:
