B&Q: found in the 1-quid bin
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. |

What tools does it contain? 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??? Mary |

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. |

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. -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

where's the torque wrench? (the thing you use to apply a measured amount of torque to the lock barrel with). Good point Ed. Completely useless without one. -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

None in ours. 3 x paintbrushes, 5 amp choc blocks, 500 watt halogen bulbs 2 pack, lightbulbs, sponges - but n lock picks. -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

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