They broke inside my lock. So be fucking careful.

2016-11-29 01:49:52 UTC  

they're all very slightly bent

2016-11-29 01:50:15 UTC  

actually, i found one medium hook that isnt bent

2016-11-29 01:50:17 UTC  

wtf?

2016-11-29 01:50:27 UTC  

Maybe it was bent in transit?

2016-11-29 01:50:32 UTC  

How flimsy is the metal?

2016-11-29 01:50:34 UTC  

i imagine all of them would bend

2016-11-29 01:51:00 UTC  

its a lot harder than i thought

2016-11-29 01:51:19 UTC  

the metal, that is

2016-11-29 01:52:39 UTC  

Youl could just bend it back I guess.

2016-11-29 01:52:53 UTC  

>bending

2016-11-29 01:52:56 UTC  

lolno

2016-11-29 01:52:58 UTC  

ill leave it alone for now

2016-11-29 01:53:28 UTC  

"just bend" will not look good

2016-11-29 01:53:42 UTC  

bang it back into place with a hammer?

2016-11-29 01:53:44 UTC  

it'll either be hardened - stiff and brittle, or not hardened - soft and bendy

2016-11-29 01:54:04 UTC  

repairing these is worth less than making new sets/buying more

2016-11-29 01:54:07 UTC  

Seriously though, don't use it on any locks in your own house. Go be a vagrant unless you want to ruin a lock.

2016-11-29 01:54:34 UTC  

Oh shit, you're talking about lockpicks. Yeah in that case I guess you could try to bend it.

2016-11-29 01:54:36 UTC  

i doubt its that bad

2016-11-29 01:54:36 UTC  

if you really want to repair it, heat it up with a blow torch and let it cool for a few hours. Hammer and bend and shit, then heat+quench

2016-11-29 01:54:41 UTC  

they dont feel like they'll break

2016-11-29 01:55:05 UTC  

Buy some locks to play with ?

2016-11-29 01:55:15 UTC  

It would be safer

2016-11-29 01:55:27 UTC  

There are plenty of practice locks on Ali

2016-11-29 01:56:09 UTC  

just whatever you do, don't bend too much or else it'll snap

2016-11-29 01:56:29 UTC  

work hardening is a thing

2016-11-29 01:56:52 UTC  

i could always use all these butane get lighters to harden it 8)

2016-11-29 01:56:55 UTC  

if you bend it, reset

2016-11-29 01:56:58 UTC  

^^

2016-11-29 01:57:03 UTC  

It's a cheap lockpick, not a damn sword.

2016-11-29 01:57:12 UTC  

still applies

2016-11-29 01:57:21 UTC  

I know, but it isn't as big of a deal.

2016-11-29 01:57:24 UTC  

bet i wont make it into a fuckin sword

2016-11-29 01:57:26 UTC  

dont worry im i got the skeleton lockpick

2016-11-29 01:57:27 UTC  

picked over 10000 times

2016-11-29 01:57:30 UTC  

shit cant break

2016-11-29 01:57:59 UTC  

I want to get one of those inflatable things you can use to open car doors.

2016-11-29 01:58:07 UTC  

it's the difference between having one that breaks on you on the tenth lock and one that'll stay in your pocket after you break into ten houses

2016-11-29 01:58:46 UTC  

what do you stick that in the handle
