When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

LOL :lol: :idea: ! Nice work on the makeup cases! I'm always much more impressed with someone who does something by being creative and improvising something of their own than someone who does the same thing equally as well but just does it the same way as everyone else with something already made up for them (did that make sense?). IOW, I'm always more impressed with the people that make/improvise their own gear than those that just buy it.

No, unless you have a lot of patience. Use a bench grinder, in lieu of that, use a dremel.
