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.

Heh,
He meant, the two wheels we're guessing at  do they need each other to work? We're looking for clues you rubes
and that should be a very friendly reading of the word rube, by the way!

Yes I HAD to bolt it down with the larger wheel in place. Even with the orig wheels in place I seen movement with the base.
Another question about wheels.
I find the finer grade grinding wheel to be much better for making picks then the more coarse one. I'm thinking of just getting another finer grade wheel and replace the coarse one. I haven't found a use where the coarse grinder comes in handy yet, it pulls the metals more and also vibrates the picks more too.
Any one use the coarse wheel for making picks?
thx

Nope, thats not what they are.
Um, do they have to be used together?
Yes they do, but the don't actually touch each other when they are used.

Dremels are acceptable.
Now are you going to take a guess?

I gonna guess that the two pieces somehow connects to the outside of the grinder, close to the wheel, and it acts either as a guard or a spacer.
Here's my grinder, with a spare wheel, a buffing wheel and compound.

Heh,
Is Schuyler the only person that understands what I say?
Anyway,
I know the answer, but I don´t have a grinder, can I still win 
Before you pick a lock:
The first thing that you should do is check to make sure that
the lock is your's and secondly make sure its not in use.

I can´t believe that Romstar locked off!
I want to win I want to win I want to win
I do have a key copy machine does that count?

Hehe, worth a shot, eh?
Heh, I'm sure if you guess it and promise to buy a grinder in the near future (they're cheap! you should get one) he'll hook you up.
Send him a PM with your guess now, though, so if he gives you the go ahead later someone won't have beaten you to the punch, yanno?

I would think that a grinder is mandatory as it was one of only two criterea, a picture of a online grinder or such like probably isnt acceptable either or else everyone will do it,
Unbreakable, thats a bulky thing, did it used to have its own stand?
Im worried at the amount of grinders im seeing with no guards fitted, its not very safe guys,
Putting bigger wheels on a unit than its designed for isnt safe either especially if the guards have to be removed,
