(079) Making picking tips for the Chinese Disk Detainer Pick

- Made this video a while ago and I have learnt a little more about DD picks since then. Still, I think this video is reasonably informative so decide to upload it anyway.
Ever had one of those Chinese disk detainer picking tips break on you? Here I attempt to show how to make a stronger one from an injector pin.
(Same method can be used to make picking tips for the Sparrows DD pick)

Great work Roy, those ejector pins are fantastic, because they are made from one piece they really are super strong. The tips I use are 0.30 mm & are still super strong, also the 1.5mm shaft ejector pins are a perfect upgrade for the sparrows DD pick.
Have a great weekend.
I remember recently you picked a DD lock and commented you changed the Sparrows picking tip for your own, made from an injector pin. I thought the Sparrows tip is very thin and there you go swapping it or for a home made thinner one.
I made this video a while ago and it was sitting in my editing folder so thought it was time to edit it and upload it.
Great demonstration on making your own DD pick tips👌 They turned out great and will definitely be much stronger💪
I have the same pick and had the same problem on the very first lock I picked a few times.
I've received some various ejector pins so now have to get my ass into gear and make some tips finally.
Thanks for sharing and have a great day my friend👍😀✌️
It's a great little project. Daz Evers uses them to make tips for his Sparrows DD pick. I might give it a go too.
You should make a video and share it with us.
What an excellent demonstration. A great tutorial. The only thing I would add is that the offcuts you are left with when you shorten the pick you can use as a lever lock pick and a pin tumbler tension wrench. Cheers
Never thought of using the waste rods for lever picks. I'll have to give that a go, thanks for the idea 👍🏻
@@roysammons2445 That's why when I brought my rods I brought the longer ones so I could use the cut offs, cheers
Wonderful tutorial on making those DD tips. Chris Capune sent me some ejector pins but I believe that are a little thicker shafts. I may have to somehow turn them on a drill and use a file to thin them to the right size. But now I know how to do it thanks to this video. Great job. 👍🦊
When I saw your unboxing video it inspired me to edit my video that's been sitting in my editing folder and upload it.
I think I would stick the blobby end (very technical term) into a drill, city the shaft a little overt sized and while the drill is on slide a file up and down, checking frequently with a micrometer.
Roy Sammons Great advice. Thanks👍🦊
Second time of watching, first time of commenting 😀
Nice tutorial Roy, just thinking of honing my homemade DD pick.
Sounds like a good plan Tinnie.
Great video on making disk detainer pick.
Getting ready to make one for my self. 👍👍👍👍🧡
They are really strong too. It's good to experiment with them as I feel the cheap Chinese locks like the tips a bit thicker but better quality locks like to often better when the tip is thin.
Good to know you are back up and on your feet.
Stay safe.
Thanks for the video, great information.
Thanks.
These days I would thin down the tip a little more so it opens up the possibility of more varied locks to pick.
Thanks for watching and commenting Barry : )
Great tutorial, buddy. I’ve been thinking of ordering some of those ejector pins to make some more DD pick tips with. It looks like a lot better way to make them than brazing bicycle spokes together like I’ve been doing. Especially since they are one piece, bc I probably waste more in acetylene brazing the spokes together than I would spend on just going ahead & buying some of these ejector pins.😂 Very helpful information, my friend, thank you for sharing. Take care & hope you have a great weekend!😃👍🏼🔐
I think you may very well be right. I think I paid £5.50 (or thereabouts) for 15 elector pins. That's about 36p each in British pounds. 30 minutes of work on a grinder and sandpaper and you have a very strong picking tip.
Roy Sammons Thanks for the helpful info, buddy. I appreciate it.
Nicely done sir.
Many thanks for watching and the comment. This is a video I made a while ago and knowing what I know now I may change few things. Having said that the picking tips I made works well. Maybe at some point I will have a go at making a tip for the Sparrows DD pick.
I have been interested in DD locks as of late, and found your channel, this was great information thank you.
Just when I think I found everyone that picks locks TH-cam, I find one more lol. Nice to meet you, I subscribed, and looking forward to more. PS I don't have a grinder, do you think with time, a file would pull off similar results? I would never afford the expensive DD picks, so this is right up my alley thanks again for a great video👍 will definitely be saving it🔓😎👍
Hi my friend, many thanks for subbing to my channel. Yes I think a file would work, maybe a good one would take the tip down ok.
Thanks for your very kind words. I have looked at some of your videos and they are pretty good.
Keep it up, don't give up. 👍🏻
@@roysammons2445 I have been doing the same thing lol , running around in your archives, great stuff 👍🔒 thanks for checking out my video. Take care
great job well done
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I think I would make it better now as this video is one I made a while ago and it sat in my editing folder waiting to be edited. Although they do work quite well as they are.
@@roysammons2445 your very welcome
Great demo video, excellent work, where did you buy the pins from, cheers 👍👍
My daughter had an account with Ali Express and she very kindly ordered some for me. I an ordering dinge more soon, if you give me your contact details I will send some on to you.
rs@cfschool.org.uk
Roy Sammons, thanks so much, I will email you 👍👍👍
Do you know if that shaft would also fit the Sparrows DD pick? just wondering for future reference ;-)
I got mine from Ali Express, daughter has an account so she ordered some for me.
Daz Evers uses them to make SparriwsDD picks.
I am ordering some more, if you like I can send you a couple to be going in with?
@@roysammons2445 : Thank you for your generous offer, very much appreciated my friend but I will check out that site you mentioned and order some closer to the time when I need them as I'm not desperate for them right now.. I've got some with 2mm shaft that I got off ebay ages ago so I could use them at a push if needs be ;-)

@@roysammons2445 Good morning my friend, I made the order, I have a doubt, will you let me know the measurements?
@@lockpickingindependentant-2919 Rods are 125mm from end to end and approx 1.45mm rod diameter.
You know I would pay you for your tips and pick. Are you selling these. Or we could trade. God I love this community. Let me know bro
I only made those few and they work ok. At some point when I make some more I'll pop some in the post for you.
@@roysammons2445 thank you my brother. What can I get you. All I have right now is a lot of brand new Master locks. I can hook u up with a nice lock from them.
@@thumperlockpicking9269 I haven't made anymore yet as work is destroying my life outside of work. I will send you some with a few spare rods I have as soon as I can. Hey me, i'll take any locks available ; )
@@roysammons2445 cool, will get some to you soon brother
CHEERS M8
Man my tips just can't hang bro. Very Embarrassed by this you don't tell anybody . Just can't make those picks work for me not making them right
I think they have to be reasonably accurate.
Its not the tip I can make I guess it's the body that screws me up
why do i need to make my own when thwre is a hibdred of companys that make these....dafuq
ONE: It's cheaper to make your own.
TWO: Home made tips will get you into more locks.
