Falle pick templates

Here is a template of my falle picks with one adjustable wrench for you to go from. You can make your own wrenches from this and vary the size of the tips accordingly. Scale at 100% and print. These will only be up for a day or so before they are restricted to locksportarchive members only. Enjoy.

Edited to add new page with no shadows on picks themselves. Enjoy.

Thank you Zeke!! :D :D

Now, a question. What would the approximate thickness of a Falle pick be? Are they "slimline" material, or just a regular thickness?

Do you think they would be Ok if made from hacksaw blades?

Sorry for the bombardment of questions? :lol:

Thanks

I'm in Canada, and I am still using imperial. Must be something to do with those Americans being so close.

Whats that in inches? I don't have my chart here.

All you basically do is divide any metric measurement in milimetres by 25.4 (thats how many mm in an inch),

This case its 0.61/25.4

As said in this case that gives you 0.0240157"

Or as a fraction its in between 1/64th and 1/32nd which isnt that helpful,
