homemade compact lock pick set

Hey! I made this lock picking set out of a portable allan wrench set made for bikes. It is great to trough in your pocket and it feels just like a pocket knife. anyways tell me what you think of it. p.s. im kinda new so be nice!

i know the screwdriver is kinda random.

taken care of

and I actually dig the phillips head, I frequently end up tearing around the house for one when I'm dis or reassembling a lock.

Don't tell me you grinded or filed down a multi-tool set to make that! :shock:

Major props your way man. I would never have the patients to start and finish something like that.

Very nice. The only thing I can say needs to improve is that it's spelled DIAMOND :wink:

Well i for one am very glad you labeled your drawing open, closed and then all the parts like screwdriver etc, i would have been up the creek without a paddle if you hadnt told me,

Very cool. I love how u have angled the picks on there side to counter the lack of locking mechanism.

How do u find it?

thats some hard steel, most likely if you bent some of the shapes, it took heat.
that is the best allen wrench pickset Ive seen.

Please realise that the metal is very hard and will break more likely than bend, but nothing in picking ever really needs a lot of force, so if you learn to pick well, that set will last forever. I see that you have done some sanding, if there is any roughness on the pickshafts and tips, you can sand it smooth and you will have a really good set.

I'd like to nominate this as the funniest reply in LP101 history.

WOW, talk about free time. Wi11, very very cool.

I'm curious to how responsive the set will be. yeah it's cool to carry around, but with the big handle, how hard is it to feel whats going on inside the lock?

either way, that thing is awesome!

I admit that it is harder to feel the pins but i have gotten used to it and actually now its even easier to feel the pins when i use my other picks with the normal handels. Maybe it has made me more sensitive to the pins now. It could even be a good training method. I dunno?! anyways thanks for all the feedback next time i will spell diamond right. lol

p.s. I thought the labels made it fancy.
