Sometimes you look into the old toolbox and an idea developes. Here's mine. A Peterson reach lockpick minus handle and a Peterson pry bar Lt needed attention. So, I shortened the handle end used some plastic auto tubing for a comfortable handle. Along with the pry bar this mini pick set fits in a wallet or pocket for impromptu use. Just a thought.

Seems kind of expensive though. $7 or $15 for a Petersen cut down or a DIY hacksaw pick?

The pick could be replaced for $3.75, spring steel.

Where do you find them that cheap? That's a really good price for a Petersen.

Very sorry jailersmith. Been to that site several times and never looked there. Usually drool over the government steel selection.
