Deal extreme padlock pick set question?

Postby Antique key maker » 1 Apr 2010 21:05

I saw these padlock pick set from deal extreme. Can't seem to find anything on youtube about them or know exactly how they work.

Can someone explain what type of padlocks these open, why are they dedictated to pad locks and how they work? Are they worth the money?

Those are comb picks, which iirc are considered bypass and not suitable for open forums. Also changed your hotlinked picture to a link. Do not hotlink pictures from other sites. Several thousand sites that were hotlinking to a picture on my personal website now have the pleasure of viewing tubgirl in every forum post. Hotlinking is a bad plan.

That is one of the funniest things I have read in a while.

To the OP, regular picks can open padlocks and other locks just fine.
