Auto Jigglers

[sublime progie]

this is a little late, but helix good ol buddy you got me on that one in my wallet is my social security card, drivers liscense, college id, credit cards, red cross card, all sorts of id. , i dont keep a key there though, i just break into my house when i lock myself out, i live with a couple other guys and there is always a window unlocked somewhere, i am still waiting for a cop to show up.

( and yes, even locksmiths lock their keys in their vans along with the tools to gain entry at times I'm speaking from experience here lol.)

I've done that a few times...

i did one better. locked my spare house key (it fell out with my wallet into the car seat) my key ring, my picks, and my lockout set inside my car only saving grace was that my window was cracked like a half an inch and my buddy just happened to have a wire coat hanger that i could hit the unlock button with.

im just saying that randomly, but you don't NEED auto jigglers if you want to open cars, a minimum of skills, and you can do it with a set for pin tumblers!

Oh yeah - Go on, pick a GM sidebar lock with simple pick tools.

I dare you...

Or possibly one of the split-wafer lasertrack locks?

How about one of those Ford Tibbe locks?

I mean it's not like any of these locks require any special tools and a great deal of skill, or anything.

Sorry, but you fail lol.

Jigglers = Crap

Wires 'n' Wedge = Good.

I agree. I would rather put my trust in a method that will have the same outcome from the same actions every time. I know that if I stick this "wire" in my car at this point, and pull it in this direction, that it will open the lock. My opinion would be that jigglers are based on 80% wishing and 20% practice. And besides, every time that you lock your keys out, you're getting more practice refining your skills with your tools, not sitting there hoping that you're jiggling them enough.

Magnetic boxes with a key inside were mentioned on the first page. Hiding a key is a good idea, but using one of these magnetic boxes is a complete loser. it will fall off at the first pothole you hit. you have several other places to put a key on the outside of the car, screwed on with the liscence plate. drill a hole in the key bow and put it behind the liscence. This may be a good enough place that even a mechanic who works on the car will not see it. If its temporary, people often leave a key for another person to find on top of the wheel but covered by the wheel skirts. if you have to leave a car for someone else to pick up. Just don't be seen putting it there. Do a pantomine of dropping something and picking it up then when straightening up, put your hand on the wheel as if you are pushing yourself up. A hidden key should also not be shiney, as it will be easier for those who work on the car to locate. Other places outside the car to put a key, taped securely inside a hubcap at the center where centrifical force will not work on it. but the best way not to lose the key is to drill and screw it on. possibly somewhere near the battery.

This is a great place to put ball berrings also. When the car is going slow thay will make one hell of a racket, at speed they are held in place and stop rattling. It will drive your buddies crazy.

I prefer to sell the key hiders made of pack cloth with velcro. The hook side of the velcro is a few inches wide and has adhesive on the back. The nicest thing about these is the fact they stick to plastics, and don't fall off. The pouch for the key has the loop side of the velcro and is removable to use the key as needed. It's made by Lucky Line and comes in two sizes.

Uh freaky, those arent ball bearings, those things you hear rattleing around there are some of the unused wheel lugnuts. some people think that only two are necessary

And how do you intend on getting to the battery when the car is locked???? Have fun opening the bonnet without access to the interior of the car.
