I made my first few picks out of some hacksaw blades and a couple of templates off of the web along with some allen wrenches ground down for tension tools...They worked quite well for simple raking and easy diamond picks etc. I recently bought a few professional grade picks and tension tools and some from serepick...Nice quality and were much smoother than my homemade ones. It is definitely a perishable skil,l so if it is a tradecraft you will use often...definitely read up, practice and learn as much as possible.
What scared me the most was that I originally practiced on my home locks my first few tries....I picked/raked all my home locks in under ten seconds...I can bump them in less than 5...So I changed them out the next day. It definitely give you some insight as to how truly un-secure your stuff is...
