Im experimenting with a tri-circle padlock and i am using a paperclip. I think the padlock has three, four or five tumblers, not sure which. Could somebody please go through using a paperclip to pick this sort of lock. P.S. not interested in using anything more than a paperclip.

You have to use 2 tools, the lock will have 5 or 6 pins, paperclips are crap but if you must use them you need a bit of skill to begin with.
Have you read the mit guide and then Db's single pin picking guide? if not thats your next stop.
Then search for samschoice guide on paper clip picking.
Paper clips are rubbish though you should go for somthing better.

You need a tension wrench, regardless of how simple the lock is. You can make one from another paperclip, but it is unlikely to be strong enough to beat the spring in the Tri-circle even if you pick it.
Get yourself a small allen key, and use that.

Well to be honest.. not trying to be a know it all beacuse everyone knows it  but anyway just get a wiper blade insert make one bend and theres your tension wrench, and just grind, file or dremel a simple hook, its not to much trouble and will be alot more useful.

I'd like to build a house. Can someone tell me how to do it? I'm not interested in using anything more than a spatula and an insole from my left shoe.
Seriously now, paperclips are miserable things to learn to pick locks with. Period. Can it be done? Yeah, maybe, with patience. But you're going at it the hard way.

That is used to beat people Mafia/Yakuza/Triad style. This is of course when Db gets tired of kneecapping people. Get a guy sat in a chair, and have another chair opposite, and rest his feet on this. Get db to jump up and down on their knee-caps till they snap - simple, but effective.
You hear that n00bs? If you use lockpicking for naughty purposes, then your knee-caps belong to DB.

Just generally. (apart from the two variations of knee-cap).
