I like ZipGenius (http://www.zipgenius.it/) free, powerful and does ZIP, RAR, ISO, etc. Also has encryption, FTP, CD burning support (XP Only) and tons of other features. Highly recommended.

Well, I dowloaded WinRAR and I still can't open it.


Check to make sure that it is 18,912,406 bytes, and if it is it probably got corrupted while transferring. That can happen sometimes, it's not either of our faults. You could try the repair archive function under the tools menu in winrar or worst case scenario you will probably have to download it again.

Hi Grudge and Liquibyte,

I got them! This is the finest collection of pick images I've seen to date. I really like the ZipGenius program too. Thanks guys.

Very nice, thanks for the images. But it still wouldn't beat a 'scan' of some jigglers. That way I could simply print the image off myself and have an exact idea of the size and shape needed.

Still, these will no doubt prove helpful in making some other styles of picks! thanks :wink:

Can someone explain to me why you would need jigglers when you have picks? Are they that much different? On another path, what learning do you get out of jigglers? I can see how some locksmiths could use jigglers but how is this related to the forum? Probably showing my ignorance. Will be interested in the responses.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't jigglers just rakes for car locks, i.e. double sided rakes?

Liquibyte - AFAIK, yes.

Chakra - I have scanned the jigglers/rocker picks and they print out actual size. Watch this post, I'll have them up in the next few days or so.

dont get this whole software pick thing. is it some sort of software that produces a good pick shape to make for a certain lock etc? Or am i way off track?

I keep hearing about them, called computer generated picks, etc. I wouldn't have a clue what they are.


can any one help me?

Mad Mick,

Are those 1mm squares on the graph paper?

No danreller, the lines are spaced approx 4.5mm. FYI, the files were scanned and saved in Photodeluxe using a 5x5 grid from MSworks-works spreadsheet-graph paper, as the background. Unfortunately, without printing the graph paper again, I can't remember which I picked (If you'll pardon the pun).

I think you'll find that just printing the pic will give you the correct size. If not, the actual length of the jigglers are approx 160mm. They are quite large picks, compared to my custom ones.

Mad Mick,
Great pictures, but I can't help but think that some people are going to get a little confused about what "Jigglers" are, the rocker picks, and car key jigglers, are two different tools at least in europe. When you posted your pic's & referred to them as jigglers I just put it down to error, but as you've mentioned them again I just thought I would point it out... :wink: Not a criticism btw :shock:
Support your local locksmith -- lose a key. Support your local institutional locksmith -- lose a master key.
