Lock Pick Gun

Manual Snap Pick Gun

This United Defense lock pick gun opens pin tumbler locks, the common household type with a row of spring-loaded pins, by striking all the pins at once instead of setting them one at a time. Squeeze the trigger and the pick needle snaps up against the pins and bounces them toward the shear line, the gap where the cylinder can turn. Light turning pressure from the tension wrench catches them there and the lock rotates. Locksmiths, hobby lockpickers and people learning how locks work use it as a faster alternative to single-pin picking.

Features

• Trigger-Driven Snap Action — A curved trigger drives the pick needle in a sharp upward stroke, so one squeeze strikes every pin in the lock together.
• Adjustable Tension Wheel — A knurled brass wheel marked MIN and MAX sets how hard the needle strikes, so you can match the impact to the lock in front of you.
• Three Interchangeable Pick Needles — The kit includes three flat needles in straight and offset profiles to suit different keyways and pin positions.
• Forked Needle Mounts — Each needle has a slotted base that sits in the clamp at the nose, which makes swapping needles quick.
• Screw-Down Needle Clamp — A bolt through the nose clamp holds the fitted needle firmly in line while you work.
• L-Shaped Tension Wrench — A bent steel wrench applies the light turning pressure on the cylinder that the gun needs to work.
• Spare Mounting Hardware — A bolt, nut and washer set is supplied for the needle clamp.
• Bright Metal Body — The flat pistol-grip frame is screwed together and marked BEST PICK GUN, with a full grip that fills the hand.

What Comes In The Kit

You get the pick gun, three pick needles (one comes fitted in the clamp), an L-shaped tension wrench and a small bolt-and-nut hardware set. To use it, insert the wrench at the bottom of the keyway and hold light turning pressure, slide the needle in under the pins, and squeeze the trigger a few times. Start the tension wheel near MIN and turn it toward MAX if the pins are not moving. The gun is made for pin tumbler locks and will not work on disc detainer, wafer or electronic locks.
