Hey Fedi!

@alice @deviantollam add a quilting needle bent at 90° with 2 to 5 mm (you are more of an expert in length) to the edc kit

@alice @deviantollam Yea, I live in Canada, in an area where mere possesion of them is considered a crime, and considering my work requires a criminal record check, I can’t afford that risk. However when I was younger and more ignorant I definitely did some bobby pin raking of a cheap lock I had
@scavello I've made many a tool in my kit over the years.
If you were interested, nothing's stopping you from doing some improvised picking of locks you own.
They going to fine you for owning paper clips or soda cans?

Hey Fedi! I have the opportunity to work with @deviantollam and Red Team Tools to have my own lockpick designs and kit on their site! 🤯
If there was a modular pick kit, based on my EDC, with a suitably "Alice-like vibe", at a flexible price-point, would you be interested in it?
Here are my initial thoughts:
Alice's minimal EDC:
[ ] double-sided turning tools (S/M/L)
[ ] slim, teardrop-tipped short hook x2
[ ] sturdy gem-tipped medium hook x1
[ ] double-hump w-rake x1
[ ] tiny caseAlice's expanded EDC:
[ ] warded pick set
[ ] traveler's hook
[ ] jiggler set
[ ] common keys (like TSA007, CH751, FEO-K1)
[ ] common bypass tools (shims, bypass drivers)
[ ] prybar turning tools
[ ] larger case for expanded kitExtras:
[ ] Deviant's "Practical Lockpicking" Book
[ ] a interchangeable core padlock (w/ easy core)
[ ] spare cores (intermediate x1, difficult x1)
[ ] KiK cylinder holder (A-clip)
[ ] blank stock for DIY tools(everything listed above is stuff I use *constantly*, in roughly descending order)
For the picks (and some of the extras), I'd like to do skeletonized handles with laser cut designs that folx associate with me (bunny silhouettes, heart-shaped love locks, etc), because I figured other companies I won't name already have the tacticool crowd's tastes covered.
This is, of course, subject to change/tweaking as it develops, but Deviant and I are both excited to make it happen. And of course, of course, y'all know I wouldn't put my recommendation on anything that I didn't test myself and *thoroughly* approve of.
@alice @deviantollam Thank you for including the multiple turning tools. Most kits come with only one.

@autolycos that sounds like a traveler's hook.
