I can't see how hacksawblades would resist the pressure and how they would resist the torque tension. :shock:

No, bumpkeys wouldn't work, keys work though.

I made some replic keys out of brickstrap, I won't find the thread for you, but it will be found searching.. yes it did work.

No the hacksaw bumpkeys don't work.

it broke before i put it in the lock because i didnt put it in the water much,but after i put it in the water while making them other 2 hook pick they work fine.

It broke one time because it was to thin i kinda bent it cuase i knew it was gonna break anyways from not dunking it in the water.

I wouldn't use a saw blade for a tension wrench as it bends too easily but I was thinking of using some to make some picks and rakes and all...Think that will work?

Have a good look through site, youll find guides and everything,

Saw blades are commonly used to make picks and youll also find templates if you want to go down the home made route,

Hacksaw blades are used effectively for tension wrenches, im guessing you may be useing too much tension if you think they would bend easily, in normal use you wouldnt find it a problem :wink:

Well at the moment i cant make any wrenchs from hacksaw blade cause i dont have a head that cutts and them ones just dont make me feel safe cause the big drill is just way to big so until i get a real dremmel tool which is alrite to hold with one hand then i will use them kinda heads.

Jason,

For the love of all that is holy please use some punctuation!!!! This not only makes it easier for everyone to understand what exactly you are saying, but it will help us answer your questions better

I'll grant he began the sentence with a capital letter, and ended it with a full-stop, but the entire thing was put into one sentence :lol:

Get a small set of files for like Â£10 - I still have the original set I bought, and they work well.

If you're thinking of getting a Dremel, don't buy the cheapo knock-offs, they are generaly crap... try to get a genuine Dremel tool, it works so much better.

Ok i'll try to be more careful with my writing!
And ill maybe get a good dremmel
