Try coopying the wooden one in this thread: http://www.lockpicking101.com/viewtopic.php?t=10505

I did it fine a few days back just rolling up the cardboard box Coco-Pops come in - worked much better than I'd imagined.

in an emergency I have used an ordinary pen wrapped in selotape (scotch tape) to the desired thickness

[quicklocks]

buy a 1/2 " wooden dowel it works fine and cost a few £

[Tattoo Guy]

use a wooden spoon handle its about the right size

This obviously no longer belongs in BST, so it will be moved.

I also used to do this, but if you don't get the size right (if you make it a little too big) it can really be frustrating with the tape all messed up inside the lock.

What I did was go to a local hardwarestore and buy a round wooden stick (dowel) - they have all the sizes you need and if you just buy 1m. you have enough for a lifetime of plug followers. Just cut pieces off it.

I am at work so I don't know what size it is, but I use a long socket from my toolset. Works great.
