Paper clip rake

by **weldman** » 21 Feb 2006 7:23

well I got a little bored and was going to watch some TV but ended up turning a paperclip into a rake and it works really well...I just picked my first lock and opened it in under 5 seconds.

Not much action on that rake.

Cool, How long did it take you to make and did you just bend it with a pair of pliers?

cant see it breaking - bending maybe at the point you hold it, but it wont break. In fact, has anyone ever broken a rake pick (when using it as a rake, and not when scraping dog shit from the tread in your boots)?

I have, it was the first tool with wich I opened my first lock, I was allways using it and didn't have much experience.

weldman, it's a nice rack welcome to the addicted club! :wink:

Thanks everyone.

I can't see it breaking as I don't have to use much force on it at all.

I bent it with some really small pliers and I think I'm going to hammer it flat a little.

Sorry, but why those links are not working?

thats funny,but this afternoon,i decided to try and make a wallet set(never made one before) as you can see, i made a king and queen, hook,and a diamond,and the bottom one is a tension wrench, i slightly flattened them to allow them to go into a narrow keyway,and i managed to open my 6pin zone front door , with all but the queen,good fun, try it. ps i soldered the joints.
