my tweezer pick!

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.

i used a tension wrench and and a hook pick all in one hand. but for the smaller locks apparently some u can just wrist the pick as ur using it, i need a good grip on both but it can be done one some small locks... aparently

As for some locks being so badly made u can set pins without applying tension. it wouldn't surprise me if the tolerances were off a bit, doubt ude get more than 2/3 pins that way though on the worst made locks, and ude still need 2 turn the plug to open it.

how much did u spend on the tweezers..?

cause i was thinking a couple dollar tweezer and tempered & or grinded correctly should be a pretty decent pick.

Also, if your pic it looks like it has a nice handle..

Good job

Omg, nostalgia. Thats the exact same type of tweezer I used to pick my first lock! Well actually I just used it to push back the spring bolt in the padlock, not really picking.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture
