josh0094, You can make hacksaw blades look very nice. You need to sand them,

I would not put those into any lock untill you do so.

Check out some of our templets, its been a while since I have been here so you need to search.

Well if you sand them enough they will shine. If you do it right even a lock smith will say WOW.

LockNewbie21 has some pretty sweet looking lock pics made out of hacksaw blades.

some people go for looks... some people go for a good working pick thats better then the rest.. i dont care what u say or if u wanna start shit.. and let me correct u.. those are not hacksaw blades... those are straight up steel.

if u want to campair straght up steel to hacksaw blades.. it cannot be done very well... look wise...

Did not mean to hurt your feelings!!


I made my picks out of hacksaw blades and they shine. You need to do some more research before posting.

( YES YES I did not research what LockNewbie21 made those out of. But I have seen hacksaw blades that are very nice looking)

all shiny would be nice, and work smoother. But if they work, thats all that matters

If they are not smooth they will mess up your lock.
