I made mine. some people call it a letterbox tool, I call it the mustache pick. It works good for most cam locks and some best locks.
Its the pick on the far left Image

Actualy there are 2 - the Souber one, and the RB medical one.

The RB medical one won't allow you to actualy unlock the door - merely look at the latch mechanism.

I'd go with the Souber tool - it's the only one which allows you to manipulate the latch, pull keys out...

just my 2p

The rb one is only a posh mirror and nothing more its not really a letterbox tool just something to use alongside a letterbox tool if you have too much money.

I'm sure most trading use their letterbox tools all the time.

Well, an engineer I go out with frequently on warrants was with a locksmith recently who didn't possess one so the engineer had to bend him some pipe for a job... :roll:

If you get a camera from HK it'll cost you a letterbox tool to have it shipped, although there did appear a couple of decent ones last time I looked.

Well actually it may be nearer £20 now i think but i havent found the same seller but theres loads on a lot in London and some in bristol etc,

Type 'wireless camera' in the search and change the search setting to uk only and then skim down the prices until you see the cheaper ones then have a look at them.
