|  | | | I've been using street sweeper bristles for both picks and tension tools. They do tend to break sometimes if the lock takes extra force to turn, so I'm thinking of making them in a different way (heating with a torch and bending, then dipping in water to temper). Currently I just bend the things and it puts a lot of stress on the angle.
And I'm still no good at picking real locks, I can open my practice lock in a variety of pin configurations and I once somehow got a lock open with two paper clips (I couldn't repeat it though).

| | | | Where do you find these street sweeper bristles?? One afternoon I found a streetsweeper sitting in a frequented parking lot and I searched all over for any bristles that might have fallen off. There were none. Then I went up to the sweeper and noticed they were all plastic! I tried to pull one off (much to the embarassment of my girlfriend at the time) but I couldn't get any unstuck. Seems they don't use old fashioned bristles around here anymore.

What I need is ideas on materials for making a tension wrench...
I have yet to find anything that lets me get a grip to turn the damn plug, so I find myself fumbling with a small screwdriver.
|
My friend did this a few days ago and it worked surprisingly well, I have no clue how he did it but he told me, it doesn't seem very much like it would work, but here goes.
He said he took a hangar and hammer it flat, then bent the top of it. since you barely need any force on the tension it works, i saw the thing. If you were really hardcore you could get a fat coal furnace and temper it  (you need the carbon from the coal to temper something)

| | | | Street sweeper bristles show up along the curb after the street sweeper goes through. I've never seen a plastic-bristled street sweeper, but the concept makes sense. The bristles look like a 3/16" or so wide strip of tarnished steel sheet metal, and one end is usually ground to an angled point by the street it used to scrub.

| | | | i will basicly tell you how to pick a combo lock. all you nead is a hairpin and some sandpaper, grinder (this is overkill), or file. first break off the squigly part of the clip and throw it out leaving the strate part with a bent end. next you may want to flatten out the tip A BIT. next use the sandpaper or whater your using to grind away a bit of the curved tip sow it is sharp and flat. and theres your pick but how do you use it. aaa good question. you take your pick and in the lock through the side of the loop it opens on with your curved tip facing the loop. feel around for a a little slot with something inside it. if theres no room pull the loop up as far as it will go and use thecurved part to pry the wedge from the loop. then quikly open it. now you can open the lock. for some locks this dousn't work and you must use a difforant trick. on some locks there is this really big flaw where you lift up the loop and it locks in place but if you pull it partially up it will turn untill it hits the number. this allows you to pick the locks through there biggest flaw. but both these techniques won't work on evory lock. thats why the best lock pick is a pair of bolt cutters in my oppinion

I think the plastic ones are a seasonal thing, I see them using those (and find the bristles all over the place) in the winter, but I find more metal ones in the summer. It could depend on the local city and what type of brush they prefer too.
