I can sound a bit like a broken record, but I'm always asking "Can I pick that with the tools I have?" and "Is there any lock I absolutely must have that tool to pick?"
I'm trying to keep the skill to a maximum and the tool porn to a minimum. I enjoy single picking and try to avoid anything that seems "cheaty."
Tools I use:
- From the TOOOL Beginner's Blend
- HPC hook
- HPC half-diamond
- Standard tensioner
- Twist-flex tensioner (longer, nice for opening handcuffs)
- thinner standard tensioners (also purchased from TOOOL)
- bent paperclips
Tools I haven't found a need for yet:
- From the TOOOL Beginner's Blend
- rakes of any sort
- SS picks
- Bypass tools, purchased from SerePick
- Handcuff shims, also purchased from SerePick
Tools I think I need:
- A nice set of smaller picks and tensioners for small keyways (recommendations welcomed)
