Looking for lever lock tool buying advice

[zeke79]

I am now looking at buying some 2 in 1 picks, and other basic lever lock picking tools. What I would like from you Euro guys is a basic list of what is needed from a lockpickers standpoint. I would also like some recommendations of brands. I know there has been some controversy over that matter so if that is made by PM that would be just fine. I have no problems supplying credentials to vendors so that will be a plus . Thanks for the help guys.

For picking enjoyment or for business?

have a word with chris b, he's got a good document on making 2in1's and curtain picks. i think he'll consider your credentials to be okay zeke, other than that it depends on what type of lever locks you can get your hands on as to what picks to buy.

having just spent weekend with chris b at the MLA show in Bournmouth and seeing his array of low cost to make lever lock tools for locks and igenious homemade tools for safe locks and even the avva cylinder, i too would say talk to chris via pm.

I will be sure to drop chris a PM. Once again thanks for the help everyone. I am hoping to make some nice tools and possibly buy some too so I can get some in depth knowledge of lever locks.
