Improvised picks?

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, that figures.

Just have to be careful of the ones I do have left then. My grandfather was one of those guys who would buy thing years in advance of ever needing it. I am still finding things around here, never opened, that he bought knowing they would be needed.

The man planned ahead.

Hi!
Here's a pic of my pickset for your inspiration.
I'm going to order a SouthOrd set soon, but for starters I made this out of those metal windshield wiper blades and an old manicure set :)
Works great on most tumbler padlocks, but I haven't been able to crack a euro cylinder yet.

manicure set

I recognize the manicure tweezers, useful for plucking your eyebrows, though needs a slight modification to use as a tiny pin tweezers, but I am facinated by the plier tool, did you round off a leatherman tool on a grinder? :P

Ray, go check out Wal-Mart, Target, Academy or Frys Electronics, they often have those in the knife and tools section, but may also have scissors and pliers available.

:) I got the plier tool for free as a gift that large companies give out with their logo printed on it. Same with the manicure set.
The plier tool comes in very handy since i has a small knife, small + and - screwdrivers and a file.
