That was from back in the '80's.

Seems like another one of these great tools designed by non-pickers for pickers... :roll:
It's not the tools that open the lock. It's me.

I was thinking "How in the world am I going to use that thing on a wooden door?"... the whole time I was looking at it. I guess if I wanted to make some 6" turning tools it might work. That thing has to bite on security pins. Why would you need boths hands free for picking. I don't know about the rest of you, but I can let go of the pick to scratch my..nose...if I want.

Pinky might hate me for this but I'd suggest using the magic tool, the drill. You just drill two holes into the door to which you can then attach your strange tool. :D

AAAhhhh! A driller...A driller! Havoc! I cry HAVOC!



:D
I'm only kidding. You know a guy with the handle PickPick can't be serious about taking a drill to a poor defenseless door. :( Especially since the majority of them in the USA would split top-to-bottom if you tried to screw anything bigger than a #4 into them. :oops:

Why not just make a clamp that fastens around the doornob/deadbolt/whatever the lock is on?

Or actually, I thought was interesting about the ad was that it says "now you can pick locks with BOTH HANDS FREE!!"

sooo... aparently it not only holds tension, but picks the lock too. I guess that means you can walk away and get something to eat?

It seems like it would be really hard to get the tension right. Once you've gotten the wrench seated in the keyway, a very tiny movement on the end of the wrench translates to a big change in tension. I can imagine trying to get it just right by sliding that piece up and down, and it doesn't sound like fun. I think the weight idea is a much better way to go for all the one handed locksmiths out there.

As you picked each pin, the tension would need to be adjusted, would it not? It doesn't look like there's anything there designed to keep the tension once the lock starts turning.
