I'm sorry, Mr. Picks is not here right now, but I'm one of his disciples, so I hope I suffice for the moment.

so what? you're using a tension wrench AND a nail AND a paper clip?

I know they're standard questions but:

Have you read the MIT guide?
Have you read all the FAQ's on this site?
Have you ever picked a lock before or is this your first?
Can you re-explain what tools you're using?

the more information you give us, the easier it is for us to help you.

patience is the key.

paper clips aren't that great either.... they bend too easily, this could be part of your problem.
Oh look! it's 2016!

Hey

It seems a bit weird someone who is lockpicking for a hobby would want to open a lock really quick when you should be patient, besides the easiest way to open it would be the KEY :wink:

icky, you should make an effort to get better picks, yours sound like the wrong stuff, you can make your own, look for sweeper bristles in the street or get some windshieldwiper blades, and find the ss stiffeners, these would grind into better picks and you should also sand down any picks you grind, the roughness of grinding is not helpful in picking. we had a daedalus on here a while back, is that yer dad?

Icarus, for the love of Zeus watch what you do with wax near locks! That would certainly gum up the whole mess.

Hi

You shouldnt be so negative and you cant just expect to pick up and pick and tension wrench and pop! it opens, you need time to practice and learn, read all you can, and if you dont understand something i have 3 good tools for you 1. Google 2. Search this site 3. if you still cant work it out there are plenty of people that will help you just make sure you search first and i dont mean look at 1 page in the search results try sift through them to find what you want, So just keep at it and you will get there.

:lol:

icarus, I have to agree with raimundo on this one. You need better tools. If you can't buy picks online, I would suggest making some decent ones with other materials you have access to. Hacksaw blades can be grinded into nice picks.
