new pick design?

hi everyone, i have been entertaining a thought recently for a new style of lockpick. Have you ever seen those tools that are used by automotive people to pick up objects dropped deep within the workings of a vechicle? it's a long flexible tube with a syringe-style button at one end and four claws at the other that poke out of the end of the tube when the button is depressed. my idea is to make a similar device, small enough to fit inside a lock. it would have a 90 degree bend at the end, and have one finger instead of four. you could insert it into the lock, and push the button to the desired depth to raise each pin to the desired height. you wouldn't have the problem with standard picks of pins farther toward the front getting in the way of the levering action, as each pin could be totally isolated in movement. anyone get my drift? anyone think it would be possible to build, and if so, think it would be a useful tool?

Lol, your closer than you think,

Search the internet for sputniks, they are not discussed in the public forums on here but you should find info at the toool site or such like, i think theres one of the german tool suppliers sell one and a video is floating around somewhere,

But as i say the sputnik isnt discussed in the public sections although maybe a discussion needs to be had between the mods on that,

Never in a million years would I have thought of something like that. I wish I had an imagination.

It seems as if it pays you could do a lot with some machining skills in this field!

Looking for sputnik, go german or go dutch, they have them pictured around the SSdev or Toool sites.
