Purchase Help

Postby _ » 2 Jul 2008 22:17

Ok, so I tried to purchase a bump key. I know it doesn't require as much skill as picking, but I have to try it for myself. Anyway, I get to the purchase info page and find that I need to pay at least $8 in shipping for a $4 key. Are there any sites that will do cheaper than this?

I tried doing it with a Dremel and found I don't have the coordination. I'd rather buy one.

I don't think any one has a steady enough hand to grind a key on a dremel. Files work good for making keys. What do you need one for?
