followed pick makers idea and used a drain snake. i reinforced the handles and covered them with heat shrink insulation for grip. the clicker style snap gun is made from a wire hanger, and i havent really had much success with it, mostly due to lack of practice. the one on the far right is an old one made from a bicycle spoke. they all need polishing but work well.

"you cant just grind a hacksaw blade down and expect to pick locks with it" quote from my friend in the 10th grade when i first tried picking a lock
