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.
Thanks for that link squelchtone - I'd found pages of sets and individual picks but hadn't come across that page, which is a good comprehensive listing.
Yes, thanks for that link. For a set like this one, would you guys suggest sanding and buffing out the tips? The tip of my short hook feels a little jagged on one side and I was wondering if that would impair my ability to learn how to feel inside locks.
Most picks you end up buying can benefit from a quick sanding. Use 600+ grit sand paper and knock down all the rough edges and the pick will be that much easier to control if it's not catching on the pins.
