When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

I finally got myself a bench grinder today, and so, I decided to make some picks and tension wrenches with some wiper blades and with some hacksaw blades and some heatshrink. I want some opinions.

Nicely done on the pick tips. Maybe a some sanding to polish would help. :)

Tension wrench question

Postby Greyflex » 31 Oct 2005 11:28

Nice picks. I wish I had a bench grinder!

What is the difference between those tension wrenches, besides that one is nominally shorter? Did you grind one down to be narrower?
