OK this is a guide on how to make a snake rake out of a big paper clip.
first bend out the paper clip like this.

Then use a small pair of round nose pliers to make the snake shape on the end. And hopefully it will look something like this

paper clip picks like this one works fairly ok and are almost free so you
don't have to worry about losing them
thats all I hope you like your new picks!

the paperclips might bend if you pick to violently thow so take it easy..

A tip on stopping paper clips bending so easily is to heat with a lighter/ Gas hob/ fire and quench (dunk or pour) in preferably in 3 in1 oil but water will work at a push.
Looks good and it seem to work excellently on wafer locks and small pin tumblers.
