I'm not saying it's cheap, but the metal used is both too thin and too flexible for standard pick work.
I second Chris's statement... they're poor picks. But you can use them to feel around inside the lock. Which can be put to good use as probes if you're dealing with a very sensitive lock (a rare treat). As shims for handcuffs, they're freaking amazing though! However you need to know they will be absolutely destroyed. So if the card is of sentimental value to you, do not use it. :-) On Wed, May 5, 2010 at 6:38 PM, Chris Clymer <[email protected]> wrote: > Look for TOOOL at defcon/Shmoo/notacon/etc they have a really nice > version of this thats actually _usable_ :D.
