1 is made from wiper balde insert.
2, 3, 4 are from hacksaw blades.
5 is made from a knife

Most of the time, I only use the largest tension wrech and the pick #1

Cheers

Indeed they are kinda blank picks.
I almost don't use them anymore, except for really cheap padlocks.
Now I'm looking for a good base material to make my picks because hacksaw blades are too rigid and wiper blade inserts are too easily bendable :(

Never trust a man with shiny tools.

Used to be mantra, now I'm a bit torn as shiny means smooth in this field. Damn experience changing my outlook on things...
