A little too easy?

I was too curious to wait for my picks to arrive so I grabbed two jumbo sized paper clips and shaped them into a pick and tensioner. I aqcuired quite possibly the cheapest locks available.

An inside-outside lock set made by a brand called "FAULTLESS" for 7.98 hehe

Since this was my first picking experience with tools worth literally 2 cents, I didnt expect anything to happen. Well, I managed to open both locks in about 25 seconds each. I was shocked. The first time I opened the lock I couldnt get the grin off my face for a while, it was pretty exciting.

So basically, these have to be the worst locks ever. I could barely fit the pick in the lock and was able to open it without much effort. Anyways, Im hooked now :D

i know. They must call the locks FAULTLESS because its not their fault if someone breaks into your house and steals your stuff because you were too cheap to get a good lock.

Some things may be pick proof, but everything can be bypassed....
