That's not necessarily true. If your ignorant it can be, but if you actually study (by that i mean reading MIT guide and learning the art of picking) then they probably won't break. I still have my very first set, i bought it over 4 years ago and they still work relatively good (there's a bit of wear on the rake, but hey it's 4 years old )

I asked the eight ball - "will I become rich and famous?". the first result was an excelently informative post by pinky on "the picking of lever locks using curtain pick or 2 in 1 pick"

So I take it that my way to fortune is through picking lever locks. hmmm.. better start learning how.

All the answers will be found in the board entitled "Lockpicking 101 - FAQs, and General Information". Go through all the floated posts that have titles pertinent to what you're looking for, and you will learn much.

Still have questions? Use the search button. Or even better, learn to use Google's site searching function, which is much more efficient. Want to learn how to use that feature of Google? Hit the search button and find it, it's good practice.
