What is this kind of pick or rake?

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.

I wasn't trying to imply that I was quitting. But anyways, as for the use of it. It works really good but only in certain situations. Stabby Joe was right about one of the uses. It works good with a technique I've heard people call "zipping" where you just snatch the rake straight out and it makes that zip noise. As well, if you've got a lock that has a deep pin near the front you can rake it in really short strokes. But honestly, with the bulkiness of it, I think it was much more popular when the old weiser/falcon keyway was really popular. It's good to have if you're a locksmith in an area with old houses that haven't been remodeled in a long time.
