fiber picks?

[kodierer]

I noticed this site pickmasters.net sells a pick that works like a toothbrush. However they do not have anything but animations to demonstrate their tool, not even pictures of the tool its' self, just gif animations. This seems like a fraud, or a rip off. Has anyone ever played with one of these.
I suppose this tool isn't that popular in the industry becuase it requires little to no skill, and is probably more of a novelty, or quick cheat when you caught in a snow storm, and don't want to a tedious process.

Are you joking? Can you tell me of any tradesman who'd prefer a tool that requires a lot of skill to use to one that requires none? If you earn money with something you'd like to earn it as easily as possible.
But if you do a quick search for Pickmasters or fibre picks you'll find all the answers you need.

I would have bought a fiver pic from the if it had the full length of a medeco key, they seem to advertize a lot of different bristles stiffness types, but I also would like the to set the medium bristles and the stiff ones in the same tool, I have this Idea that such a pick would allow the pins to set at shearline as well as at sidebar tenon, if it was full lenth and variable stiffness. but they don't make them that way, and no one has ever reviewed this type of pick on 101 or locksprst@yahoo. Maybe thats because the few who might have experience with them don't want to report a failure. Also, these picks would become worn out like an old toothbrush, all snagglely.

In a lockout situation, locksmiths must enter a home or place of business in the fastest and least cost effective way. This means that a tool that's capable of opening a lock quickly, (which usually uses less skill) would be a popular tool for locksmiths and lockpicking enthusiasts.

It can only be so efficient. I mean, if it was THAT good, then we wouldn't have normal picks (what will I use for my guitar???)...it'd all be replaced by fibers....and colgate would OWN the locksmithing business

I'm not saying that we can pick EVERY lock with special tools. But for quick entry their good to have. If you read the discription for the pickgun on www.lockpickshop.com, you would see that it says used by law-inforcement officers with limited lockpicking skills. If you read more about personal preference between the electronic pick and the pick gun you'd notice that a lot of people happen to have a pickgun, electronic pick, or both.

I'll answer your question here, even though it has been addressed previously on the forums. They are rarely talked about for one simple reason.

They are garbage. Absolute and utter garbage.

'Nuff said.
