Hi people,

I'm New to the forum and to lock picking. Today I stumbled upon Bosnianbill's YouTube Chanel and somehow by the end of the night I was dumpster diving at the local express oil change for some used wiper blades....

See you around,
-ivin

Hi Ivin, Welcome aboard!

The wiper inserts make great tension wrenches and you can make some picks from them too, but you'll want to upgrade from picks made from them to either some commercial picks or make picks using a more suitable stock. Welcome to the hobby as well. Enjoy!

I have some picks ordered in the mail, but I couldn't wait. But holly shit guys I just picked my first lock! It was a "Brinks 172-40081 1 9/16-in (40mm) Laminated Steel Suregrip Lock"... I'm sure it's must be junkie but man that feels great. I can't believe I locked my bike up with that thing. Yikes.

Yeah that was probably the best CAPTCHA I've seen, or I guess that one is a CATCHA... :shock:
