Custom made lockpick case

Postby Dark Angel » 21 Apr 2004 12:45

I have been looking for a nice case to hold all my lockpicks for a while now and cannot find anywhere to buy one from.I have tried looking for cases made for other things,like pencils or art brushes,but none of the ones that i have found look very good.The best cases i can find are made for darts,but these are still not really what i want.
I would like a nice case made from leather or a tough nylon?.
Surely there must be somewhere that sells something i can keep and display my picks in,if you have any ideas i would love to hear them.
I think if someone was to design a nice case for picks and market it they would make a fortune.

Thanks Cobra
The type of case i was after though is something like a zip up nylon case with lots of sections for all my picks and wrenches etc.
The standard type holders only usually hold one set of picks.
Another idea is like a tool roll for picks and wrenches,or something that is in a case with pre moulded sections?.

cheap case

Postby PYRO1234321 » 21 Apr 2004 15:24

got this cheap tool kit at a local discount store ($7 CAN) just for the case, kept the diver and socket bits and a pair of pliers. the rest went into a bottomless toolbox. all my picks, a flashlight and a few extra goodies fit in there.

When I got my case from Peterson, they goofed, and mine came already crammed full of picks. So, I have a roll up case that I got from Hamilton Bell www.hamiltonbell.com It was intended to be a case for surgical instruments, and is quite lovely.

if you get buy from HPC, they have a couple of roll up cases - not sure if you can just get the cases or not:

see: http://www.hpcworld.com/lockhpc/p_spps2k.htm

this is also a nice case, it looks bigger than the standard southord ones, but may be a bit small for what you need.

maybe worth asking at [/url]www.safeventures.com[url]where they got their one from for the basic picking kit they do, or maybe they would supply it on its own ?[/url]

I use an old hard sunglass case - made some slits in the liner of it to hold my picks. Does a great job!

Incidently, a crochet hooks case is perfect for holding picks. Note, Not really suitible for double-ended tension wrenches, the perfect tension wrench to fit in a tight case like this is a single-ended, twisted one.
