Fitted tension tool

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

I don't even know if i want to attempt a trip to a walmart or Home Despot to get blanks, I'd like to make a key tension wrench as well as some bump keys but.... Its bad enough that I get weird looks while at the local car garages and dealerships with garages and I ask them for the used wiper blades (usually tell them that I am an artist working on a peice of work that will reflect how the city I live in is dependant upon the auto industry).

That might just be the BEST cover story I've ever heard. You get 3 points! :)

Thanks, I've had to come up with a few in my life - I've heard alot of bull in my few years on the planet also LOL! - It works. You should see the looks I get while combing the parking lots outside of autostores and shopping malls - or looking into the garbage bins at gas stations.
