Hairpin

[roster19]

Is it possible to use a hairpin to 'pick' a combo lock? I've read a few articles stating that all you need if a fine hairpin. So I tried it today albeit all I got was a bent up hairpin.
But I am new to the sport and I'd like to know if is actually possible to open a combo lock with just a hairpin?

A hairpin is made out of very bad metal, so even though some things might be possible, nothing is going to be easy with one. So why try?

I'm not a thief if that's what you're thinking. I just thought i'd be something interesting to tell friends. But thank you for informing me about the weakness of a hairpin.

No, that's not true at all - I think you may have gotten your answer in your initial post
