hi guys learn so much from this site however i am currently looking for the right tools so i can practice picking Tumbler Locks and other simple locks such as simple padlocks and my money box with its lock on it however i cannot decide which tools i need as i cant quite figure out which each is used for can somebody give me any help? or maybe even reccomend a set of picks that would suit me.????

cheers guys

how about Southord's FIVE PIECE LOCK PICK SET (PXS-05L)?

this set has all the picks you need to open most of the locks.

Look through the FAQ and also do a search for the MIT Guide. The guide has a bunch of info and briefly explains the use of some picks.

i would sugest a southord 14 piece set

get some jigglers they are exellent when it comes to money box type locks, padlocks and some cars.

You've personally used jigglers (ie: auto jigglers, unless there's another kind I'm not familiar with) to open padlocks?

[vivi]

yeah, youd be suprised how many locks they will open

GerbilGenocide: A basic 5 piece set from SouthOrd should suffice. Anymore and I would go for a 20 piece set or so with reinforced handles.

Vivi: I've never used commercial auto-jigglers, but they look pretty big. I find it sort of hard to believe that they would open up Master Locks or basic pin-tumblers...but then again, I've never used a set.

p.s. Got a size-scale photo?

Vivi, don't you think your new sig is a little bit infantile? If you have a problem with Luke, sort it via PM.

[Luke]

Ahem he already did...
Called me a retard amung other things... MATURITY IN ITS FINEST!!
All because i got cut because he was having trouble with a pickgun and he didn't give reasons. Oh well with that jiggler thing i don;t know, I would just go for normal picks, no vivi this isn't a go at you, i just think its good to learn the skill first.

[Mad Mick]

Glad to see you guys sorted it out.

Luke, I don't know if you saw the post from last night, before it was deleted, but you could gain a lot more satisfaction from helping someone who doesn't pick things up as quickly as you do, rather than giving them a hard time. The young brain is like a very large sponge, which sucks up everything in it's immediate vicinity, whereas the 'older' brain is more like a chamois, which needs a little stimulation before soaking things up.

Hope this clears things up from an 'older' perspective.

yeah i got pissed off because i come to this site to find answers and give advice and not to take crap from people.

and about jigglers if you dont have any i reccomend getting some

only £25

[Mad Mick]

Vivi, glad you and Luke are cool now.

Do you have any info for getting the auto jigglers? If so, could you please post it?

Thanks.
