Emergency Lockpicks

Afraid of being locked out of the house? Most of us just carry a spare key in our wallets, but not the members of TOOOL (The Open Organization of Lockpickers). No sir, they've got this: The Emergency Lock-Pick Card, a laser cut steel card in the size of a credit card.

Make Magazine has the details: Link

Ratz: no, it is not the same thing. Kevin's a fine guy, but he'll be the first to tell you, his business card is a promotional novelty item. It is stamped thin aluminum. The TOOOL card is .025 thickness 301 High Yield steel. They are genuine picks which work to actually open locks.

Brandon: Where do you live? Most people are WAY off-base when it comes to the laws in their area. Mis-information abounds. Also, we are not lawyers... but is this technically anything but a card until you split it apart? Heh, a technicality, for sure... but a funny question.

Neatorama: The card is not laser-cut. And "Organisation" is spelled with an "S" in our name. But thanks for the cool mention, just the same! :-)

Very cool, just a shame that you need to be a licensed locksmith where I live to carry these or you can be charged with carrying burglary tools!
