How Do I make a Snap Pick?

Postby Jimbeam01 » 7 Oct 2007 19:21

Hey guys, im a new comer to the whole lock picking scene.

I was wondering does anyone have pictures on how to make a Snap Pick with a Coat hanger or other household item? or step by step instructions?

I know how to make the tension bar with the windshield wiper, but im just stuck on a quick effective way of picking locks.

And one more question, will sandpaper work to smooth it out? I dont have a grind wheel.

And other suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.


thanks again,
JimBeam01

Quite apart from that, there *is* no 100%-effective-instantly-unlock-anything-quickly device.

Why do need to do that? :?

Never had much luck with snap picks, myself. Much rather use a tension wrench and hook.

That doesn't sound to me like someone who just enjoys this as a hobby. That sounds to me like someone who wants to be a ninja without having to practice.

That being the case, HERE is a quick, effective method of entry.

Man, you really should sand that thing smooth, it would glide better in the lock :roll:
