I think there is a tutorial somewhere on the site which will show you how to make one. Go ahead and find it so you don't have to wait anymore.

Wow this looks so cool!
I have made many of these in the past but I never had so much succes with pickguns, accept electrical.
But I havent tried this model with the tilted pick yet, does it make allot of difference?

im so curious ;p Im gonna make one soon

The tilt is mainly so it fits better in the hand, the blade of the snapper is still held level with the ground so that when it is snapped, the blade will make contact with the pins at the same time (essential to getting a snapper to be successful!) Also, when using this type, be sure not to put it back to far, or the snapper will hit the housing and all the snapping force will be absorbed by the shell of the lock rather than the pins! Raimundo informed me that it is best to put the blade in as far as it will go, pull back tell I sense the back pin drop, and move back so that I'm right under that back pin that I have located. Thanks again for the snapper, Raimundo, you are a master!

Perfect thank you so much for your nice explanation! (and ty Raimundo )

I have made several of these and they work great. There is something quite satisfying about making your own tools. The imagination of some people to come up with ideas is beyond me.

Bike spokes. Dang. I never thought of bike spokes. Hangers are made of such weak metal nowadays that I could not make a useful snapper out of any of them. Back to the drawing board with bike spokes. Thank you.

I've actually had more success using the snapper I made than using a manual pick gun. I would still rather pick the lock. At least when picking I can feel what is going on and know if it's going to open. The snapper just feels like dumb luck

i wish i had the skill-set to try to make them. unfortunately for myself, my motor skills aren't quite as sharp as they once were. i still have the bogota set that raimundo originally designed but due to moving of houses i seem to have either lost the deforest set that i purchased. i wish raimundo would start making picks with sere pick again as his picks are always top notch but i doubt that'll ever happen again

Bit of threadromancy, but does anyone sell these?
