Small Pick Set

Postby Ian_425 » 24 Jul 2016 23:05

This is a small pick set that I made for a buddy of mine. He is actually the guy who got me interested in lock picking. He has only ever own a small HPC set.

The thickest part of the metal that shows is about 2.5mm I may shave it down a little further, but when I tried them in a couple kwiksets and master locks (just what I had out on the bench), they all performed very well. But I will customize them however he wants them. I also added in three sizes of "L" wrench and two sizes of twisted "L".

You have to click the image to see full picture, it didn't resize properly.

The [image] tag does an ok job but if the pic is just too massive it only does so much. Consider using imgur's Edit Image feature after you upload which will let you reduce the image from something like 5000 x 3000 to something like 1200 x 800

Hope that helps

Nice work. :)
It is very satisfying to make your own tools. 8)

The feed back I get on these is way better than and of the southords that I own. Going to have to make some like this for myself since these are going to a friend.

Nice Work.. Agreed something satisfying about making your own tools.. Plus I decided I would make my own (Way cheaper) and decide whether it was something I would stick them before investing in a kit..

The one thing I found out about making my own is that the ones I have purchased are kind of small.. I have medium to Large hands.. and when I make my own .. I can make them to fit ..
When I finally leave this world.. Will someone please tell my wife what I have REALLY spent on locks ...
