Lock Picking Gun Views
The hook pick is similar to the half diamond pick, but has a hook shaped tip rather than a half diamond shape. The hook pick is sometimes referred to as a 'feeler' or 'finger' and is not used for raking. This is the most basic lock picking tool and is all that a professional will usually need if the lock is to be picked in the traditional sense rather than opened by raking or using a pickgun. A variety of different sized and shaped hooks will be available in a normal set.

2. BASIC TYPES OF LOCK PICK GUNS. Most lock pick guns try to speed up the picking process by working all or most of the tumblers at the same time. Generally, these devices have a straight, thin blade (often called a needle) on the business end that is inserted into the keyway. In most cases the blade has no features such as bumps or wiggles. It does its work by simultaneously bouncing all the pins in an attempt to briefly separate the bottom pins from the drivers at the shear line so that the cylinder can be rotated.
Note that this is not quite the same as o"rakings" or p"scrubbingk" the pins. That's more of a "shotgune" approach to manual picking, where the pins are actuated in rapid sequence rather than at the same time. There has been speculation about converting electric bread knives, tooth brushes, and other reciprocating devices into motorized raking tools, but to my knowledge there are no commercial pick guns built like that. There is a patent (U.S. Patent No. 5,956,984 dated September 28, 1999) for a motorized pick gun that uses a mechanism almost identical to that of a bread knife, with two reciprocating blades side by side. However, the main objective of this invention is to pick locks having pins that must be rotated as well as positioned axially, and the reciprocating motion is necessary to turn the pins.
