Author	Topic: Super Cheap Lockpicks
nbk2000 Frequent Poster	posted September 11, 1999 05:33 AM I know it's not bombs and poisons, but lockpicks are very handy for getting the supplies to make them. Here is the least expensive source of lockpicks I've found yet on the net. Go to http://www.telepath.com/pillar/catalog.html . Only $10 for a 4 piece set. I used to have a ten piece set, but I only ever really used 1, the lifter pick. So this set will be more than enough for you to start with. ------------------ "The knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used against them." www.50megs.com/nbk2000

Ho ju Moderator	posted September 11, 1999 08:17 PM nbk, what is a lifter pick? I am interested in lockpicking but have never been able to aquire tools more common that a tiny screw driver and a paperclip. Is a lifter pick easier to pick a door's lock with (not a dead bolt) ------------------ Knowledge is power, power leads to corruption, corruption is a crime, crime doesn't pay.

nbk2000 Frequent Poster	posted September 12, 1999 06:30 AM A lifter pick is shaped like a finger that's held straight with just the tip curled up. It's used to lift the pins in a lock, one at a time, up to the shear line. If you want to learn the basics, use hotbot or some other search engine and type in "mit" and "lockpicking". Your looking for the M.I.T. guide to Lockpicking. It will explain the basics about locks and how to pick them. Unless I'm coming across as holier than thou. ------------------ "The knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used against them." www.50megs.com/nbk2000

Don't post your e-mail address and ask me for it 'cause your not going to get it unless you e-mail me. ------------------ "The knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used against them." www.50megs.com/nbk2000
Ho ju Moderator	posted September 12, 1999 11:59 AM oh i know that basics of lockpicking. but i was wondering. will a tension wrench and and a filed down paperclip do the trick? ------------------ Knowledge is power, power leads to corruption, corruption is a crime, crime doesn't pay.

Ho ju Moderator	posted September 12, 1999 02:30 PM no i am not talking about using the paper clip as the tension wrench just the pick itself. will it work? ------------------ Knowledge is power, power leads to corruption, corruption is a crime, crime doesn't pay.
