Hello from Florida
I've always been into security, but found Mechanical Security (locks) far more interesting than computer/virtual security.
I started out as just an "emergency helper" as my intention, but loved it so much (haven't helped anyone yet) that I decided to invest money into it and I am working to become a locksmith now as a full-time career.
I have a HUGE background in computers and spend most of my time on a computer and learning, pretty much if it CAN be done on a computer, I likely know enough to be able to accomplish whatever the goal is.
I've done: programming, HTML, audio/video editing, 3D CAD modeling, installing OS/software, animations, removing malware, building computers piece by piece, repairing computers and I could make a huge list, but you get the point.
My favorite tools change on an ongoing basis, however, I really like the:
Short Hook.
Snake Rake
and the Bogata style rake.
I also make some of my own tools and have thought about offering to make some to sell.
At the time I posted this, I was unable to open a Brinks Marine Maximum Security padlock which i picked the most difficult key-code they had in the store. I need the right tool to maneuver in the lock to be able to pick the tiny 1/8" tight curvy keyway.
Here are some wrenches I made for someone
This doesn't list them all, but has descriptions:
