Hey welcome to the forum,

First off why is this in the BST part?

Now for your question. No they do not pick locks. Plug spinners are used for when you pick the lock in the wrong direction, you use the plug spinner to quickly spin the plug past the pin stacks so they dont reset.

I hope that clears things up
