SNAP GUNS

How do lock pick Guns work?

When you pull the trigger on a Lock pick gun you are loading a spring inside the body of the lock pick gun. This spring activates a long flat steel pick that is at the tip of the lock pick gun. The tip is called the needle. When this needle is in the lock and the trigger is pulled it smacks the bottom of the pins inside the lock and just like Newton's cradle that energy transfers from the bottom pins to the top pins creating a gap. This gap is at the sheer line and when properly timed with the right amount of tension the lock will swing open. You must use a tension wrench with snap guns and our snap guns do come with a wide variety of different tension wrenches so you can use this tool right out of the case. Learning to use lock pick guns is more about learning the timing between the pull of the trigger and applying the correction amount of tension.
