Laminated Ripple or Laminated Ripple Core?

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.

this is about 50 cents? Thats a big decision. do ya get fries with that?

since both handles are rippled, the major difference is the weight of the handle. do ya like a lighter pick or a fiftycents heavier pick.

LMAO :D :lol:

I'd say that you go with the heavier handles. Makes esy to balance the pick in your hand against the spring tension in the lock.

Well actually, the core handles would be a lot more expensive because you can get ripple laminated in a set which is cheaper than buying them alone but you can't get core ripples in a set...see what i am saying?
