Nice little tool box

I was at a place and this guy had some stanley bits and bobs tool boxes for sale and i thought that these would be great to put lock picking tools in they only came in pairs and they was cheap £5.00 a pair (Well i thought they was cheap)
plus they can stack on top of each other and pull out like draws etc etc im going back today to gets some more he says that B&Q sell them two????

I went back home with them and i had a old alloy case so i try to see if it fitted in it and it did fit i have got the pics....

Looks good. Kinda bulky to carry around. I like the old fashioned zipper cases about 6 inches long, 3 inches wide, has elastic strips sewn in and stitched down to create bands that hold picks, tension tools and handles. The 5 cases I have were all makeup brush cases and work perfectly to fit a lot of different sets. Although I would definitely purchase one of the above boxes to have for home storage of picks, etc. Bargain at 5 pounds, well done. :D

I keep all my stuff in two pouches:

Here they are closed (the dollar is for scale)

They go in a backpack which I have about 15 practice locks in and a box of security pins :wink:

I don't have any intentions, at this time, of becoming a locksmith though :shock: Am I the only person who thinks this is perfectly normal ? :shock:

The pouch is nylon I think, the same stuff they make backpacks out of, I got it with the Falle Safe picks I ordered. It look looks a little strange in the picture, probably just the lighting.

cracksman, do you mind taking pictures of the front and back of the falle adjustable tension wrenches? I am trying to make some, but I couldn't find any decent pictures.
I carry my picks around in a modified wallet. The thing is all torn up, so I'm planning to make a jackknife like pickset of out feeler guages.

It is probably gonna be hard to re-create these, basically all you need to do is have a wider hook about 1.90 mm to enter the bottom of the keyway and a smaller 1.30 mm to enter the top. Hmm... now you got me wanting to make one :) If you want more detail (or in better focus :wink: ) and specs-be specific let me know.

Good Luck :D
