The home brews that I started my venture with. Paperclips and a metal pen clip.



My new home brews. Made from metal leaf rake blades and a dremel tool. (They don't work too well, but not horrible.)

They're better than some of the first homebrew attempts that I have seen before. You could probably take a hand file to them and smooth them out and refine the tips if you wanted to. Either way, nice work for a first attempt man. Keep it up and you'll improve.

That's a good idea, thank you for the tip.

I had brought up using Leaf rake blades before but never had a chance to try, great inguniety there glad to see they worked out for you. They don't have to be pretty as long as they get the job done! You've already started out a lot better than some of the other people I've seen who go and shell out 50 bucks for a set and then tell everyone ho bad the set sucks because "it" doesn't open locks, refuseing to cope with the idea that they cannot open the lock with the keyf or the lock. You get your hands on some better materials and tools and you'll be advancing quickly the route your taking, great job.
