Wallet sized pick set

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.

Wallet sized pick set

I made this small set that can fit into my wallet.
The length of each pick and tension wrench is the same as a credit card.

The picks seems well made :)
I wonder how's the feedback with such small handles.
Which material did you used for the wrench? It's very thin and the bent is unusual.

A few months ago a beautiful credit card sized set was mentioned here... if you need inspiration.

Cheers :)

For the wrench i used a jumbo size paperclip.
I dont have any wiper blades and the clips are plentiful.
There is a set that actually comes inside a credit card http://www.lockpickshop.com/CC-LOCK-PICK-SET.html
And the feedback is fine, all the picks work much better then i thought.

A jumbo paperclip, that's why it looks different from a wiper blade insert. Good choice to start with.
I'm happy the feedback is good.

Thanks for pointing out the credit card pickset, I haven't found it.

Cheers :)
