This is a little cheaper, and yes electric picks work extremely well, and any monkey could operate one. Most of us prefere to make our own when it comes to this, because its cheaper, and funner, and electric picks being almost skill less devices offer little to no hobby pleasure. I recommend learning hand picking. It's more satisfactory than simply opening a lock.
What did you need this for anyway?

Guessing by your grammar and the way you used the word "poppy _", I'm thinking English isn't your language of choice? Am I right? If you're in Europe like I suspect you to be, an electric pick gun will indeed, be poppy _ (man I LOVE this new editor, I can write whatever I want!) they work on pin tumbler locks, which are very popular in the US. Other parts of the world use lever tumblers, those are kinda challenging to pick, and I don't know of any easy shortcuts for bypassing them.

I dont get it, I can't write the word hell but as soon as I write bullsh*t the editor doesn't touch that. Didn't mean to do that, so sorry.....

hmm.. perhaps they sould have a test thread in general chatter, so people can test problems with the forum without directly affecting advice in the real threads, and the Mods could fix the problems so that people new to the forums, and still don't know the rules don't slip through censors, and what not.

Whitehat pointed out to me that there is already a test thread. I seen it before, and just forgot about it. lol Anyway he is right we should all preview our posts before making them, and just be aware of the rules.
