There are quite a few videos on Youtube that show you people picking locks with paper clips to. Just try a couple searches.

Paper clips work real good for me on Master padlocks and kwiksets. Can't do schlags though.

Wafer locks are about you're only possibility, but hell, you can pick wafer locks with a toothpick if ya wanted. Paper clips are substandard to hairpins, witch are eons below an actual pick. Get a pick and forget T2 and Macguyver if you want to be serious about picking. No offense or anything, just some picking advise. Good luck, peace. :)

Wafer Locks and paper clips

Postby beto » 28 Jan 2007 22:52

Most wafer locks you find around ie: toolboxes, filing cabinets, cupboards, etc can easily be opened with paper clips - but here's one to try: use the nail file from a standard $0.99 nail clipper. Use it as a tension wrench and pick at the same time.
