learning levers best first tool to buy?

Ant,

If you undercut your fellow locksmiths then your'e doing everyone out of a their livelihood. Yourself included...

If newbie locksmiths start undercutting on price to get business then the average price falls and you'll lose your own edge on the market and the thing that makes you attractive to customers. Then you'll have to drop your prices again etc. etc.

Work on giving a better service rather than a lower price and don't sh1t on your own doorstep, as the saying goes

Best of luck anyhow. You can start picking 2 and 3 lever locks with 2 wire picks that you can make yourself.

yeah you all do make very reasonable points, I suppose thinking about it 140 quid does seem really quite expensive for what these tools actually consist of. Just two prongs that move independently of each other, I think i may just buy the hand tools mentioned in this thread viewtopic.php?t=15319

and attempt to make them myself, can anyone tell me whether to make a 7g pick i woudl follow exactly the same instructions mentioned but i'd make the outside diameter 2mm thicker? Thanks for your help. Ant.
