improvized pick (feeler)

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.

while i was going throo the topics i found that ewery sugestions on how to make a pick included expensive tools which i dont have acces to ...
so as i allways do i improvised :D and the result was quite good

for the pick i used a key holder ring made out of strong thick and at the same time soft metal. staightened it bent the end made the other end comfortble to hold. then i took 2 dumbbells and flattned the thing. then with just a little bit of help from a little file (thats the only tool i have of this kind :D) shaped it to the final looks.


\_________|'''''''''''''| <--- something like that =)

allthough this sounds like a stupid thing to do it actualy works pritty well. i managed tu open with it a fiew 5pin locks (started straight from the 5 ...) later i heated it and while it was hot melted right into a broken pen - there you have a handle :D so if you dont hawe money and tools you must atleast have a key holder ... :)

Spelling, spelling, spelling.

Hell, grammar even or something attempting to resemble it.

I just spent a very depressing few days defending everyone here and what we are doing. Many in the industry just don't understand.

The least you guys can do is TRY to look like something other than a bunch of reprobates.

Please?
