My Perfect Spring Steel (Where can I get this?)

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.

That works Pretty well as long as you remember To rotate it only in one (right) direction. I use that in My lathe.

Cheers :)


Yeah I have a Dremel and those sanding bands are just too high of a grit. But with the drill and even a dowel wrapped in paper can boost you to 2000 grit.

Yes I should have mentioned that. Pick which way you want the drill to go. Wrap it as such and leave it. You will tear that paper up if you for some reason go backwards.
