This is my new mini-EDC pick case.

The picks include two wafer jigglers, a knife tool and a city rake on the left, and some very small Bogota rakes plus a short hook on the left. I can carry the whole thing easily in my wallet.

They're not my go-tos for a tough lock, but I can open most locks with them, and they're handy when I don't have my usual picks with me. #lockpicking #locksport

I haven't figured out how to set a new combo on this antique lock yet, but at least it was easy to decode 😋

I had to make a tool out of spare bits to pick this ancient disc-tumbler lock!

Yes, I tried the vibrator first, but it wasn't having any of it.

Found this awesome Sargent solid brass 4-lever pancake push-key lock at the vintage hardware store.

Probably dates to circa 1895-1910.

Fun fact: the shackle spring is so strong that it holds some of the levers in place when you set them, hence I only had to poke it a couple times to set them all and pop it.

And my lock touching has gone pleasingly well too.

I got a couple of big packets of locks off ebay last week and promptly found I couldn't pick any of them, but with a bit of patience and learning to vary tension I've managed to pick a Cisa C2000 and an Asec Vital.

I've been vaguely following the Lockpickers United belts, but I probably won't do them formally because I can't be bothered to record myself, and I'm too gak-handed to gut a lock.
