Plastic picks?

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.

polyutheraan would do it. It's a very strudy kind of plastic which will not easily break. It will flex a little but probably not much more than springsteel. I guess a pickset made of those would be great since a metal detector wouldn't pick up on them and you could take you pickset on an airplane without being a murderous criminal XD

heres my 2 cents, how about the material from a mother board? It may be too brittle, but it may do the trick. somone would just need a few old comps laying around.
though if you were to try to carry these onto a plane or other areas :twisted: , i don;t think "plastic" can be used as a tesnioning device, hair pins? :roll: maybe?. any thought?

Just use a pen clip, completely harmless and inconspicuous :wink:
