Believe it or not, a lock-picking set!

Needless to say, I couldn't resist the temptation - have always wanted
to have a go at it.

Well it describes it as a "4pc Hook and Pick Set" and contains 4 little
plastic-handled tools with various different metal spikey bits at the
business end. No doubt total crap but hey...!

And does it work???

They probably didn't sell many, but had lots nicked.
Reminds me of the quote from the Sharpe series;

Richard Sharpe: Gimme a pick-lock, Cooper.
Cooper: Pick-lock, sir? Catch me with a pick-lock!
Patrick Harper: They did, Coop. But when you got out of Newgate
prison, you got another set, and that's the one the officer wants.
Cooper: Do I get it back, sir?
Richard Sharpe: Trust me.
Cooper: It's very hard to trust a man who wants to borrow your
pick-lock, sir.

Where or how do you manage to get hold of sites like these?

Do you go out of your way to find sites that are crap or don't work? Or
is there a special series online for eccentrics that like looking at
400 messages?

I look for them deliberately, so I can annoy people - obviously.

Do you go out of your way to find sites that are crap or don't work?

I spend about 30 hours a week specifically looking for web sites that don't
work. Everybody needs a hobby and I don't get out much.

Or is there a special series online for eccentrics that like looking at
400 messages?

You got me there. I have no idea what you are talking about.

where's the torque wrench? (the thing you use to apply a measured amount of
torque to the lock barrel with).

You have a much more exciting B&Q than we do! None in ours.

3 x paintbrushes, 5 amp choc blocks, 500 watt halogen bulbs 2 pack,
lightbulbs, sponges - but n lock picks.

Can't see them being higher quality than the normal ones they sell, and
their threads strip as soon as you look at them :-(
