This guy's homemade dimple picks what do you think

[abroxis]

Out and about came across a link to some homemade dimple picks.http://www.lockpicking101.com/viewtopic.php?t=2980&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

Do they look anygood or a waste of time to make.

They might be good for raking, but I think spp'ing a lock would be kinda hard. This is what I use for dimple locks:

I have used rakes like this... i had no luck. goso makes some rakes in this style and i hated them...

Same experience here. I've never had luck with ripple rakes on dimple locks, I think it's a given that you'll have to SPP each pin.

mentoOsmann, you make that or is that a commercial one?

[Thedonofdeath]

my guess would be homemade. it looks really good but a close look makes me think its a homebrew. either that or some company is not polishing there stuff (which could be the case)

Yes it's homemade, from some wider wiper shield inserts. The handle is just a few layers of shrink tubing. I sand my picks down till they are smooth but for polishing I'm too lazy
