The official show off your picks thread!

Yup, I wasn't sure if I mentioned where I got that or not, guess I did--Home Depot; I think Stanley makes the good stuff. There was one that they had when I was there that was REALLY nice, it was a briefcase style one like that one I've got, but it was a good bit thicker with a lot more compartments, just really nice. Didn't get it because I didn't think it was worth the extra money for something just to keep my junk in, and I have to say I was probably wrong--don't scrimp on storage if you really care about the things you're storing.

Wow, I've got that exact case too. I filled three of them with locks, and have a fourth left for more. I keep most of my pick tools in a tackle box. I'll post a picture if anyone is interested, I always like to see how other people organize their stuff. I'm a little OCD with organization.

Actually, I saw these cheaper ones next to the Stanley you are referring to, and I actually thought, and still think, these are better. They stack nicely, everything is directly visible, it has perfect sized compartments for storing locks. I think the Stanley case is a bit awkward.

Found it! Wasn't on the home depot website, so they might not carry it anymore. It was on the Stanley website, and if you're looking for storage, btw, THIS is the place to look. Here's the container I saw that would be perfect for locks and locksmithing tools:

There are seven total and, the rest can be found in this same thread, hope you like them. Sorry if they are not to clear, out of many tries this was the best.

i've been playing around with some feeler guages again, and came up with this assortment.

they all swivel into one, and fit into a small leather pouch i made for them.

That's some good work Scampdog!

Out of interest, are you using a PDA with Palm OS to take the photos?

[scampdog]

hi illusion,dont know mate,i just point and press. thats about the scope of my photography skills

[Shrub]

He means do you use a camera or PDA to take your pics?

im not sure how one would tell really but thats what he meant,

[scampdog]

as far as i know,it's just an ordinary bog standard, konica digital camera

[Shrub]

Well a PDA is a handheld mini computor type thing so you would know if you was useing one of those

[illusion]

Oh right - It's just my Palm handheld prints the date and time on the photos, and I wondered if, presuming you owned one, whether you knew how to get rid of it. I updated the software recently and it now pastes the time and date the picture was taken on to the photo.

Nice work on those picks those.

illusion, exactly what model of a Palm PDA do you have, and which software (camera app revision) are you using? I have totally modded my XDA mini (which is WinCE though) to the point of no recognition, software as well as hardware sided so I am kinda firm on the modding of these devices. Maybe I can help you, so lemme know what the device is exactly.
