where to buy

[poker4life0588]

are there any places offline to buy lockpicks?

Sure, find a really friendly locksmith, or get really aquainted with a locksmith supply company.

There should be one in your area.

The very FIRST thing they will ask when you bring up picks is if you are a locksmith.

Hope you have your business license.

any "spy shop" near you.

Northern Tool sells something called the Kwik Key lockpick. I believe Harbor Freight sells the Dyno QuikPick. They're not the greatest tools ever but they are available over-the-counter.

On a humorous note, take a look at the accessories for the Kwik Key pick on the Northern Tool website :

The spy shops in Calgary were a let down. I almost tainted my pants when I found out that tund the throats of those guys he new owners of the 17'th ave spy shop had ten kits when they took over, but because noone would buy them, they threw em away. It took all the willpower I had to not wrap m'paws around his neck

My last post got mangled , what I was trying to say that the spy shops in my city blow. I almost strangled the new owners of spy city when I found out that when they took over, they had ten kits that were just thrown out.
