Before you get the pick from Helix (which i might just add that it is an incredible offer that you should be kissing his ass over for the next 3 years) you should have a good read around on how to use it properly so you dont damage it straight away,

Make some tension wrenches while you are waiting, ask your loca garages for any wind sheild wiper blades from the bin, you will find a steel strip in it which you can use for a wrench.

*donkey-kissing ready* Would a small blade do? I can insert it into the lock and turn it.

Dratted language filter, it makes me laugh that piss, shit, etc all get through but as s doesnt :lol:

No, make a proper one, this is just as important as a pick,

Read the mit guide, you will realise that you have to have both tools in the lock at the same time, you dont pick a lock and then turn it, you have to turn it then pick it, once picked carry on turning it, it even turns slightly more while you are succesfully picking,

Ok, Perin.

* half diamond
* shallow hook
* deep hook
* curved ball (I like to put mine on a curve)
* snake
* rake
* 'Bogota STYLE' rake

* double ended two size tension wrench

These were shaped with the paint still on them and good quality.

They are VERY smooth and I spent quite a while on them.

I will put my return address on them and if your concience would
like to buy me a padlock (not fussed which one) I will accept and
post here if I get one in the mail.
...But you don't HAVE TO, I'll leave that up to you.

I'll definately try, thank you so much Helix. I'm pretty sure padlocks from here'll be fun for you- im not sure about the difficulty but I'm pretty sure they're different to the one's you guys get there. :D

Perin,

I hope that concience is being kind as this is a very good offer and one i have never heard from a member before on any site,

This is a BIG favour to you and Helix should have a massive pat on the back for his unrivaled generosity (and perhaps a padlock or 2 :wink: )
