This weekend I did a lot of bench grinding, I made a pretty nice little set of picks, and as I was cleaning up I picked up my staple gun and was playing with it. I realized it would be really easy to use the little hammer that hits to staple to hit a pick instead. I ground down a spoke then bent it so the hammer would hit it.
I've only used this on a few locks because its no where near as fun as actual lock picking and I think it would wear out the lock pretty quickly. However it was very effective on the few locks I tried.
