what tools have you got to pick with?

locks with pins are harder than locks with wafers, so you might need some better picks, then you just need to practice. It might be a good idea to try and buy a set from a shop on the internet, try http://www.lockpickshop.com.

Hope this helps!

I usually carry an angle grinder for those sort of jobs. The wheels are cheap, so even if you use more than one, it is OK.

This is one example if you don't understand 'angle grinder' since english is not your native tounge.

USE SAFETY GLASSES with this equipment. Make sure there is nothing that might catch fire nearby as there will be alot of sparks.

Hmm, i mostly just use my dremmels and and a drill with a grinder head to make my picks, but an angle grinder looks to be much better. About how much do they cost on average?

You should be able to get a decent second hand one for twenty bucks
at a pawnshop or a cheapo brand new one for the same price at a
hardware store sale or a 'knockoff shop' that sells brand new stuff that
resemble brand names in looks only but definately not quality.

Just be aware that a pawnshop will probably try to sell the key that goes with it seperately.
Also, the local paper, garage sales/car boot sales/markets should
have a bunch of them, too.

Oh, and when you get discs for it, make sure that they will fit.
(We have over here, a 5 inch and a four and a quarter inch disc)
that will look similar, but the hole in the middle won't fit.

There are discs for cutting, and discs for grinding. Make sure you
use the grinding disc for grinding, and the cutting disc for cutting.
Treat your cutting discs as fragile and don't use them if they have been
kicked around the floor or dropped, etc as they can be VERY DANGEROUS.

If you go for the five inch, you will be able to use worn down nine inch blades in it and get your moneys worth, but I am guessing that if you
have never used or seen a small angle grinder, a nine inch probably
won't concern you at this point in time.

Buy some safety glasses, too.
(twenty bucks means twenty Australian bucks)

...And a decent quality brand new at a hardware store for under $100AUS.
sorry to double post :oops:

Thanks for the insight Helix.

I also did a little searching of my own and saw that some angle grinders can be as cheap as $7...also saw some that went as high as $300 :shock:

Yeah, dude, if you're only using it to grind a few picks here and there,
I'd suggest a secondhand Ryobi, Makita or some other name that your
grandma would know.

If you want to run a business off your grinder, go for new.

Personal opinion: stay away from the knockoffs.
(even though they MAY be ok, i would rather spend money on something
ten years old that will still outlast a brand new crappy one.)
