Tubular Tension Tool "Mantis"

Picking tubular locks follows a very similar method to picking pin tumbler locks. Apply tension and move the pins to the sheer line.
The only problem is applying the tension to that circular lock.
The MANTIS is a tension wrench designed to apply rotation tension on the center plug of tubular locks.

Sandmann Grafic Lockpick - Sparrows

Laser Engraved SANDMAN Pick

Last year at a trade show we were talking with a few guys who used to attend Soldier of fortune Conventions at the Sahara in Las Vegas. The story went that in the 80's a guy would follow these conventions and sell lock picks out of a small booth. These sets were mostly HPC but he also had some home brew picks made by a different guy. Of the hand made picks what these guys really liked was one called the 'Sandman'.

So, out of interest we sent off a few emails to see what we could dig up.
It took a while but we slowly got a few details and then learned that the guy making the picks was a DJ in the 80's who used the handle of "DrDave"

Well we found DrDave, turns out he still lives in Vegas and has been picking since the 60's. Best part - he sent us a Sandman and what was really nice is that it is a different pick than anything else in the lineup. A few careful measurements, a little bit of Laser Art and here you have it. A truly New Pick.

The Sandman is a dual sided Rake and a Single Pin Pick for attacking radicle biting - direct from Vegas

The lock pick is manufactured by Sparrows out of American Made 301 Cold Max steel.
