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.

Far as I can tell your tool is actually made for Lishi by Huk

May never use it, better to have and not need than to need and not have. Looking for lock now to Practice With. Couldn't find a Video of a Tibbe being picked prior to this tool, was thinking of a tool that has the tensioning tip with a slot running down the side, then a wire that slides down the slot with an L at the end that could slide in and out to turn each individually. May go to making it once I get a Lock. Thanks for the Info.

Will pay for it, prefer an 8 cut. Ran into a Tibbe Pick on Banggood, it's called "Magic", Went on YouTube. Works, Don't believe All the Time. Then saw a Tibbe Pick/Decoder with a Slot down the side, like what I Imagined, Decodes also. Much better than what I had in Mind, mine would only Pick?

The magic key is a soft metal alloy that gets deformed when using so it can make a key. Therefore it is a one-time use tool.
Just found that 8 cut lock. Shoot me a PM with your mailing info, Stratmando. The 8 cut Tibbe was only used on Jaguar vehicles, and after a few years Jaguar changed to the 6 cut Tibbe as well.

Thanks, done, the Magic is interesting. I wonder if a hard sponge material was embedded is a Key if it would work. Or a Stiffer Memory Foam could work. Or a Memory Metal could be used for the Magic, then just heat to get back in shape and Eeuse? Thanks again. Take Care
