Yes! a very long paperclip ( not as bendy as a smaller clip & not as strong as a hairclip )

What do you guys think i could make out of it ?

Tension wrench maybe if i flattened 1 side down :) ?

I tryed to do a hook :P but it didnt work out so good..

The best thing to do with a paperclip is to hold papers together. :wink:

You can make an emergency opening tool for a CD-ROM drive.

A nostril scratcher.
An anal stimulator (might want to sand the paper clip for this).

trust me paper clips are horrible for anything related to lockpicking, unless in an emergency use. (As you can tell my name states that I have used paper clips before, and once you get a real pick set, you will regret ever trying to pick with paper clips)

So just use a regular pick and tension wrench. Or if you do not have a set buy one, it is well worth the $15 to $20.

Well, at first i thought they bent pretty easily..but maybe i was too used to hairclips..

I bent my smallest tension wrench the day i got the set and the other day i ruined my small hook..

Besides that, nice set :)

Hmmm,

A medeco M3 slider bypass

Maybe an Adams Rite bypass

Maybe a thumb turn if it is strong enough

That old tool doctors use to clear scar tissue from the "clap"

A key ring, just put two hooks at the end and link them together

Actually It goes in the garbage : )

Yet another item one can get stuck in a lock. It's sad, really, how bad of a picker I am yet I've stuck just about any utensil small enough to fit into a lock, thinking I'm James Bond or someone...
