This is how I made my own lock picking tools from windshield wiper inserts. In this video I made a city rake and a tensioner, but the same methods could be used for making hooks and other tools.
I made my own picks using a wire coat hanger and a sculpting tool. It's a mortis lock pick but still it was super easy and so satisfying when it worked
Thanks! It's a lot of work when you can just buy them online for not very much at all, but my city rake broke, and I wanted to see how hard it was to just make one. Turns out, the ones I made are way more durable than the ones you can buy. I've made about 6 of them and none have broken yet. Anyway, sometimes it's just fun to make stuff myself, as a challenge to see if I can do it.
I like the idea of this :) and the way you extended the key to the pick design, one thing I want to know is the pick you made is it just for the lock you picked or is it to pick type of lock ?
Buying them is easier for sure. I just wanted to make some because I was bored and I broke my city rake. The ones I made ended up being way stronger than the ones I bought. Sometimes I just like to make stuff to see if I can. I already had some wiper inserts from old window wipers. So, it didn't cost me anything but my time.
that is not lock picking. you just made a clone of a key. why bother? just use the key. locking picking is where you don't have a key and have to pick the pins individually or use a rake with the tensioning tool. you probably didn't need a tensioning tool if you bent the end of the cloned key and used it like a regular key.
I didn't clone a key. Lol I made a city rake using a key as a reference to get the bumps. I didn't just trace the key in place I kept moving it.... The shape is nothing like the key. Also, if it were a clone of a key it wouldn't work to pick dozens of different locks with.
@@billsee476 if you've seen a city rake before it's pretty clear that's what I made. If not, yeah, a city rake does look a little bit like a key, except longer and super thin.
