3D printed MINI snap pick gun lockpick

pinshape

This is my 3D printed mini snap pick gun. Don't let its compact size fool you - it packs a punch as powerful as a full-sized snap pick lockpick gun. You'll need a thin windshield wiper metal insert, some hand tools, a few rubber bands and a bit of time on your 3D printer to get started. I used 6/32 machine screws that are 3/4 inches long. The wiper inserts come in three sizes, but you can find as many as you'll ever need in just an hour at a wrecker yard. The wider ones make excellent tension wrenches. Cutting the metal inserts is a challenge, so I use an angle grinder or Dremel to get the job done. Make sure to debur the ends of the inserts to prevent them from cutting you or getting stuck in the lock. Also, smooth out the thumb catch before assembling the gun for optimal performance. The small slot behind the slide weight is designed to store your tension wrench securely. I've made a video tutorial on how to assemble it and uploaded it to YouTube - check out the link below. In addition, you can see me using this snap pick gun to open a deadbolt cylinder on my channel.
