Coat hanger picks are very soft, and totse isnt a very good source of info. They are nothing but flamers.

Agreed. The only good thing the Totse forums do is make us look like geniuses and professionals when it come to lockpicking as a hobby.

Not that some of aren't geniuses or professionals already...

making a pick without tools

Postby raimundo » 16 Jan 2005 13:01

If you want to make a lock pick without any tools, find stiff wire, like piano wire, but also springs from various junk, if the wire is hardend and straight you can bend it back and forth to break it, and and stick the end in a hole in something metal to bend a hook on it, then finish the sharp end of the hook by rubbing it on concrete or a rock. you can make a pick with no tools, but you cannot make a pick without hard wire.
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!
