Finally uploaded pick pics

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.

Sorry for my bad picture taking skills...it's 12:30 in the morning, i'm too lazy to take the time to read the faq, and definitely too lazy to do it tomorrow :P

Anyway, hope you like them. There are only two bought picks and 1 tension wrench (maybe you can tell.) Little blue is what I use for my wafer lock ;]

I know theyre pretty crappy, paint still on them, teeth too, but they work, and i dont think im really harming any locks soon. Enjoy :D

P.S. I never use that "double sided" gray diamond, its horrible :P

Those picks are quite nice, I especially like the quality of the two picks on the left :P

Naw, just kidding, I like them all :)

They might need some sanding to smoothen the edges, the half diamond and deep hook in the second and last picture might turn out to be too high to be very helpful, but I guess you'll find out when you put them to the test.

So yea, with a little sanding/polishing those will look awesome.

Yeah, we tried the whole sanding thing on one of them, but he only has a wire wheel and then a polishing wheel, and not much sandpaper.

you need to thin down the necks of the picks, but overall a nice set

I concur with James, the necks of the picks should be thinned down a bit. For most wafer locks they would work well but when it comes to pin tumblers you will find it somewhat difficult to enter and/or maneuver around in the lock without disturbing the adjacent pins.

For the most part you do have a good variety of picks to use and will work great once you've made the minor adjustments. Good job!

quite nice... is the length of the necks on those picks long enough to reach a 6th or 7th pin?

also, try and get the teeth off at least... you'll hurt yourself, or damage something sometime... not good =S
