That's a healthy bunch of info! A couple of things in that list caught my eye... thumbturn tools for one thing, I have a thumbturn cylinder on its way so I'm definately gonna make one of those to see how well they really work. I'll have to remind myself to get some wire next time I go into town!
The other thing is the "profile cylinder breaker" - I didn't think those were too common in the US. I've seen a couple of different tools for breaking cylinders, one of which was so simple you just have to love it. It's essentially just a metal bar with a cutout in the shape of a cylinder on one end lol... all you have to do is fit it over the bit which protrudes out of the door nice and tight, then wiggle till it snaps. Is this the same kind of thing mentioned in DAME or is it the screw-in tool?
