Simply bend the metal into a loop at that point. This is to keep the pick end of the snap gun from moving up too far and it also helps keep the pick gun under tension.

Could it be because you can barely read? :P

Part of being a lockpicker is resourcefullness, you should try some.

You are the new kraftdinner.

Look, just try to make one. If your coathanger isn't long enough, find one that is.

Honestly - can you even pick yet? Why not practice that rather than trying to make a snap gun? I have a commercial one and I have yet to use it, (I've had it for at least 12 years.) I'm getting worried that this lockpicking thing may be a tad beyonf your scope.

You need to find an old wire coat hanger. These are about 3 feet long when straightened.

Then find the right coat hanger, or just give up on it for now. Either way, please stop posting on this topic. There's just nothing left to answer.

I think Jason13 may actually be another one of Sacha Baron Cohen's alter egos.
