Make an electric pick from Black and Decker Power Scissors

[tacedeous]

gotta say it made me smile when you said you where a firefighter, and using this tool for something so useful,and dare i say heroic ( I have 3 family memebers who are FF's , my uncle just retired from the chief position in the town I live in) obviously in an urgent situation, it DE all the way, and man are those tools awesome (I.E. one man pneumatics)

I was wondering if any one of you who have built your pick gun will post a video of it being used.
i just ordered my unit and i would like to see some other peoples b&d pick guns running

ive made one from a electric scissors similar to black and decker, but the problem is that it can not be ajusted.. i will use only the motor and bearing to make an adjustable one, i will post photos and a tutorial

Made one years ago out of Battery Powered Scissors, Works good, but never use it. It is a good Idea.

Made a similar pick gun for my 10yr old son using draper electric scissors. I am a Locksmith in the UK and whilst my son can individually pin pick cylinders, he coveted my HPC pick gun. The version made from the scissors works well when, a) it has fresh batteries in it and b) the lock being picked does not have any anti pick pins. The gun is good, but no match for a professional pick gun. Make one as they are good, but if you are a locksmith, you'll need to dig deep and buy the proper item.

So i made one of these and it works but it really chews up the lock.

THANKS FOR THE POST

I think I am going to try and make this today.
If it works i'll reply back and tell you which locks I had success with.

i think this is the perfect device to build this tool. i nearly gagged when i saw it on youtube.
for less then $30, depending on where you get it and trick it out, you can
turn this into a awesome tool. got one from the outlet a few weeks ago for $1- so i bought 2 .
gonna mod-it-up and post some pics of my design.

I have made one of these a long time ago, it had issues,
1) it tended to chew out the profile from the barrel
2) it damaged the pins badly removing the tip causing the lock to become crunchy to turn the original key
3) the reliability of the unit was questionable as i always needed to repair /replace parts!

On the brighter side, everyone who saw it was impressed, i had to demo sooo many times!
Was good to be able to make it. might be able to digit up and get some images for you all too see.
