Newbie picks

sorry for the bad image quality, i dont actually have a camera, i was using my webcam. yeah. I edited it a little in GIMP and it IS better.

The big thing in the top left hand corner is a practice lock.

The thing right under that is a jack knife with one hook pick in it. (hacksaw blade)

The three picks under that are mad out of Street Cleaner bristles. They work very well and the pick designs are my own. Basically two custom rakes, a hook and two half diamonds.

And finnaly, on the right is my tension wrench, torsion bar, pressure gizmo, whatever. I use a regular alan wrench and carved it down so it fits in the lock. This works VERY well.

If you can see anything in the picture, tell me what you like and whats wrong with anything.

Woah! That camera is on drugs.
But looks like some good tools.

Does it all work really well?

sweeper bristles

Postby Devs » 26 Aug 2006 6:35

I have found one problem with this method. I alters your view of street sweepers for life. I see one go by and I get excited and start looking for bristles. I now see them as mobile pick dispeners.
