I decided to finally get around to slimming down my EDC locksport kit. I have a smaller purse now that I use more often, so it was time to lighten the load a bit.

My EDC now contains the following:

Pin tumbler and wafer tools:
- 2 prybar tensioners (medium and heavy)
- 2 double-sided tension wrenches made from windshield wiper inserts (one medium, one small)
- 1 stout medium hook pick
- 1 short hook pick
- 1 deep hook pick
- 2 thin picks (one medium and one very deep hook)
- 1 homemade Medeco pick (also good for Everests)
- 3 wave rakes (2 triple hump and one double hump with different spacing)

Other tools:
- 1 latch/door tool
- 1 probe/knife tool
- 1 homemade-ish universal handcuff key
- 1 tubular tensioning tool
- 3 warded lock picks (small and large double-sided, and large single-sided)
- 1 single-sided jiggler (desk key)
- 1 Leatherman Skeletool (pliers, knife, screwdrivers, bottle opener)
- 1 black hair tie

The kit measures 12.5 x 4.5 x 0.5 cm and weighs 68.6 g.

The Skeletool measures 10.5 x 3 x 1.5 cm and weighs 147 g.

Bonus notes:
- the thin medium hook makes a good toothpick
- almost any of these will open a TSA approved lock
- when I was living in London, I carried more thin picks for euro keyways
- the latch tool and the Skeletool get the most use
- the desk key opens every office desk, cabinet, and mailbox I've come across (basically almost any wafer lock with a slightly open keyway)
- my secret weapon against Medeco locks is that double-hump wave rake
- that stout medium hook gets more use than almost all the other hooks combined
- always carry a hair tie

Honestly i was going to make a reference to a GISS scene with Nick Cage and Angela Jolie but with two girls ... but idk... Nick Cage is kinda feminine isn't he? Soft. Anyway.
EDIT: saw #notagirl on your bio so... maybe without a guy?

or maybe 馃 foreplay as that thing where you get tied up in fancy rope but it's padlocks and chains and no keys and you gotta make out while you pick. Damn. That would be a challenge. Hmmmm. Let's make it a masterlock, just to be safe. 馃槈馃槄

I close my eyes when I pick, so I guess it wouldn't be THAT different from making out... but... like... I'm autistic, so I suck at cross-disciplinary multitasking.
