My newest homebrew 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.

afish also has a point, there is more room to dip the pick when the tensor blade does not got all the way in, it really depends on the keyway how useful this is,
the only time when a tensor blade is too long is when you are picking a master 4 pin padlock and the end of the tensor is so deep in the lock that it actually blocks the locking dogs from withdrawings as you turn,
I stand on both sides of this arguement.
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!

wow thanks a lot guys, for both the compliments and the tips alike :D

I've actually got another work in progress, but I can't upload pics right now 'cuz I left my CF reader at my grandparents house (doh!) but yeah, I'll put them here once I can find a roundabout way to pull them from the card.
