I remember the lockpick in Resident Evil 2 was this shape and I always wandered why, now I know. Thanks for this!

Very cool demonstration mate. That is a nifty piece of kit. I have seen one where they have put some tubing, rubber or metal on the part where your thumb flicks the wire . It gives a bit more surface area for your thumb to flick and makes multiple flicking easier on the thumb. Thanks for this video, cheers

Saw your comment on a video YT served up to me and had to check you out. Nice work.

Saw the short and came here to see the original, extremely clever. 👌

Thank you for the video, great idea to get or keep lock picking skills fresh, working with your hands as much as possible.

I like the comment below about bending the wire in the opposite direction so it doesn't catch on your thumb (or nail) when you snap it.

I was also thinking when you are filing or grinding the tip that will go in the lock, just file or grind the tip of the wire where you snap with your thumb until it's smooth.

Awesome video mate, yours came out a heap better than mine when I made it for the mad Aussie challenge. 👍😊🇦🇺

Would it be beneficial to make the spring smaller/tighter to produce move of a snap? Or does the higher amount of force not matter?

iyeetsecurity

To return the spring in steel (re-temper, or harden) you can reheat your steel up w/ a torch until a magnet will no longer stick to it (critical temp or currie point) and then quench in oil (or water) to regain the stiffness/ bounce back. Which also will even out or will give a gradual temper along your tool. Blue color (clock spring temper) is hard springy and brittle, Amber color is a good hardness but shouldnt break as its for tool ends like chisels. I say all this cuz it seems you liked the long one you made but you didn't have confidence that it would last very long b4 breakage

Awesome, thanks! I'll be making one as soon as I get home from work👍.

just a suggestion but cant you make the catch bend to the other side so your thumb dont land right on it when you push it down or maybe bend it out word toward the blade just a little, just some ideas! im glad it just got ur nail and didnt cut you! im going to have to try this looks pretty easy to do the only thing im not sure of is the thinning of the blade part iv got some of the tools that will work but iv never done any thing like that as of yet. great job!
