How many gun safes have you "picked"?

Not gun safes, gun locks. The kind that come with handguns and slip through the slide. Read above, again.

I've played with a Sentry gun safe, as well as a couple standup models whose models I can't recall.

And when you say home safes surely you mean home fire safes right?

Actually, I said home fire safes :)

Paper clips? I have never seen anyone recommend beginners start with paper clips. What do you suggest they use for the torque wrench? I think beginners should just buy one of the many introductory/beginners kits available on the net.

Not to argue, but most of the beginning tutorials I've read encourage people to start with paperclips, as it helps learn tensioning.

Here's a search that points to several tutorials recommending paperclips:

I hope that helps. I don't proclaim to be an expert, though I can handle myself well. It seems like you misread most of what I said, FWIW.
