You don't want to order anything that will have "...Gun..." on the Customs Declaration form :-)

Besides, hand picking is more fun.

Don't buy a cheap one, buy a Majestic Lockaid. It's around $60 and you will not regret it. I have a Brochage that works on about 75% . An HPC that works about 35%. A downward Chinese Eagle brand that I bought in case I get upside-down cylinders. Then, I bought a Lockaid, and if I had purchased that originally, I would have never purchased anyone of that other garbage.

Or don't listen to me and buy a cheap one. You may get more experience drilling locks.

I bought one a while back. It works. And the price was great. Note: I bought mine when the price was about $15.00

My only problems with it is that the screws (that hold the gun together) come loose after using the gun a bit. I have already lost one & had to replace it. I should get some locktite for them.
