I think this is getting out of hand abit now..All i wanted to know if you had a £1000.00 to start buying some locksmith tools what would you buy..

I know how much all these things cost..i just wanted to see what you would buy with a £1000.00 nothing more nothing less..
Regards
James :roll: :wink:

I also answered as toomush suggested.

If a chatter thread then............

If i had £1000 to spend and had no picks and no way of making good ones i would see if i could get a cb 5/5.5g curtain pick, a set of falle picking tools, a wendt gun then with the change look for 2 in 1 picks and practice locks.

I've noticed just from casual observation of threads on this site that pretty much any tool regarding lever locks seems to take a standard pick price and add a zero at the end of it. So don't be suprised at the cost of tools, especially if you have to pay an extra 17.5% tax on it afterwords...wow..... :shock:
