Unfortunately, no that's not it!

I have really no idea of what a *button hook is!

illusion wrote:You could either use it to overlift the levers if the springs were fairly weak, or slide the latch on a warded lock.

It's not used to overlift and it's not for lever locks!

illusion wrote:On thin doors that have woefully big gaps you could possibly catch the latch mechanism.

I doubt it would work with this tool but nice guess!

Ps. I did a search on *button hook, here's what I came up with!

Interesting concept but no that's not it!

Before you pick a lock:
The first thing that you should do is check to make sure that
the lock is your's and secondly make sure its not in use.

As earrings? I don't think the metal in those is appropriate for that. I saw a safety pin give someone a nasty infection.

Nevertheless, there are people who'll put just about anything in through ear.

It's a tool used to clear away anal blockage, like a corkscrew.

:lol: You guys!

Ok I'll give you a clue, let me think, Ok I've got one, "Impressioning"

Remember it is just a clue, the tool is not actually doing any impressioning!

:D

It goes through the bow of the key to apply tension to mark the blank with the pins when impressioning.

Wrenchman:

no offence but you need to get to the point here. I'm just not sure that a bent piece of wire is interesting enough to keep everyone's interest for 4 days without some sort of payoff.

I like being teased as much as the next guy but if the teasing goes on for more than about 20 minutes with no sign that there's going to be a payoff, I usually just get up and go get a sandwich.
