looking for a tubular pick

[MacÔda]

Ok, I'm looking to buy a tubular pick, but I really don't want to spend $90 on one. I was wondering if anyone knew where there was a cheaper one. Also, which is more common on a tubular lock, 7-pin or 8-pin.[/quote]

THere is a buy sell trade section, try there. maybe someone will have one for less.

Like i always say, spend your money on homemade tools instead. Tubular picks are not that hard to make.

theres a tool that looks like a spanner, it just turns the plug and u use an other pointed tool to depress the pins (like using a tention wrench and a pick in a standard lock). no need to spend big bucks on some special tool. or just use THE OH MIGHTY BIC PEN..............sorry. yelling
search for the link.

7-pins are more common. You can buy a high-quality one for $66 including shipping, just do a search and you'll find the info.

but.... that spanner tool wont work on locks that dont have that notch on the "plug"....... .. i just found out the other day on a "D" type "lock body that i found on the street. but u should allways try to build something first.

if you live in the uk the best place by far to buy picks from is

www.topsecretmagic.co.uk

he delivers really quickly ( 2 days) and has a larges selection.
he has two sizes of tubular picks for only £100 which is amazing considering that others charge that for 1.

i really dont understand why the site isnt very popular among lockpickers
