Maybe you’re sitting and wondering what to do with your old windshield wiper blades. You’ve already decided against hooking it up to an old electric toothbrush to make a lockpick. Maybe just a decorative simple Bogota Toolset would be fun instead.

…used by many locksmiths and covert entry specialists. Due to the highly polished finish, these tools glide through the lock but are NOT for the heavy handed user. The handle end of each piece doubles as a tension wrench, so you only need to carry these two tools to be prepared to open nearly any pin-tumbler or wafer lock you encounter.

You can learn how at the May 15th, 2:00pm meeting of The San Francisco Chapter of The Open Organisation Of Lockpickers

join us to learn about the history, styles, features, and techniques for using Bogota wave rakes. This meeting focuses on the unique characteristics and effectiveness of Bogota tools. Christina Palmer will demonstrate both picking and how to make your own set of Bogota rakes from stainless steel windshield wiper blade inserts.

Recycle your wipers and if you’re lucky you can meet some local undercover law enforcement at the same time; ask them to show you their Universal Handcuff Key.
