My current diy pick set

[clearmoon247]

Hey guys,
Just thought i would share my current collection of my DIY lock picks
Let me know what you guys think

[Arctor]

the handles look pretty cool.. did you wrap the metal with wire and use heat shrink tubing on the ends?

[clearmoon247]

thats exactly what I did. I used the internal wire from cat5 cable and heat shrink tubing. It works out quite well and the handles feel good to the hands while picking

Nice, I bet they have some good feedback to them.

[Oldfast]

Nice lookin' set... thanks for sharin'

[jeffmoss26]

as an IT guy, I think that is genius!! what material did you make the picks out of? one of these days I am going to try making my own.

[clearmoon247]

The material is spring steel pulled from windshield wiper blades and when you have several boxes of cat5 cable sitting around, you gotta find a use for it.

[edit]
here is a pic of my latest creation, in template form, so if anyone is actually interested, i can make sets of these with consistency.
Enjoy and there will be more to come.

[jeffmoss26]

I would definitely be interested, as long as they are wrapped with cat 5

[clearmoon247]

Well, that is the plan and if you would be up for a trade, pm me, as i am always looking for more/new (to me) locks.

wow great work

[MBI]

Those look cool.

Maybe make them in 8pc sets. One handle in each color of CAT5 wire.

[clearmoon247]

Might not be a bad idea, but the white striped wires are not at pretty as the solid wires.

[Koguntetzu]

very nice! im impressed man

[jeffmoss26]

I could send you some 25 pair phone wire...50 different colored wires!
Will PM you about a trade!
