haha, that was helpful, thanks a bunch.
That video was cool too.

My tension tool is basically that, but without the twist in it.
And my pick is a safety pin without the safety part on it.

awesome. better than what i started with. although, really, i bought my pickset just recently, and man, it is great got the 14pc pxs from southord and added on 2 slimlines, for a total of 2 slims, 10 regs, and 4 tension wrenches. works great, and the difference in picking is enormous, it really does make a huge difference, so i would say if you really like picking, and have about $35-40 then go buy a set. and dont forget we have a 10% discount code at lockpickshop.com (right?)

yea, I really do like picking.
I think if I had better tools it would come easier too me than it is now.
I can feel the pins alot better now, but my pick is too flimsy and won't get those pins to stay up. =/
I think for now I'm just gonna get a hacksaw blades and grind them down, cause I can't afford a set yet. I'm gonna buy the Halo Graphic Novel when it comes out... Ive been waiting for a month for Barnes and Noble to get it.. Every time I called they said 3-4 days, for a month solid. So im pretty mad about that. But yesterday they put in a special order for me.... and said "3-4" till it gets there.
But, Ill have a job soon. Then I'm gonna pick up a set.
And in a while I'm gonna go grab a deadbolt from Wal-mart.

10% discount? For me?
