Have a search on the site efore posting questions, this is what youll get told most of the time until you obviously do it.

I wiper blade insert, windsheild wiper insert, is made from stainless steel and is perfect for tension wrenches.

Cut to length and bend the end.

I've been looking through all the threads and I can't find much but I think I'm gonna have to find an old wiper blade somewhere

Tsk tsk... Ok, just take a look at one. I'm really trying not to sound offensive, but they're just a thin strip of metal with a right angle at one end. pyro's video tells how, and i also remember there is a post telling how to make them using allen wrenches.

Your just not useing the search quite so well yet, there is vast amounts on homemade picks and wrench's.

If you want to narrow your results down use 'and' inbetween words, 'homemade and wrenches' brings up loads of threads.

I found out the arm from a mouse trap works as a tension wrench if you put it in the keyhole and bend it at the top!!!!

Any ideas of what I can use as a makeshift pick???? I know its in other threads but I just want something I can make and use tonite

Use a paper clip then

Or go outside and look in the gutter for a street sweeper bristle

Never mind the last post, I read the MIT lock picking guide and says to use bicycle spokes

by **stlbolt** » 30 Dec 2005 21:40

Yeah those are good just be sure to get the right size considering there is diffrent thickness's but mostly youll find the right size its common on all bikes.

Sorry bolt I didn't mean your post, btw I live in the boondocks

by **stlbolt** » 30 Dec 2005 21:41

Its all good, oh hehe

You should be able to make a nice set out of some spokes.

Thanks I hope they all come out o.k. I don't want to fubar my first set of picks

by **unlock_it_all** » 30 Dec 2005 22:03

Never use a mouse trap arm I was just using it and it broke off in the lock

by **stlbolt** » 30 Dec 2005 22:05

lol that sucks, I wouldnt think that would work that well.. Stick to street bristles or hacksaw blades or spokes
