Hard Drive Lock Pick

If your like me then you also have a huge pile of hard drives sitting in the corner. You know, the drives you really should through out but your waiting to build your massive multiple terabyte raid array with a whole bunch of 20 gig drives. Well, why not put one of the hard drives to use as a lock picking device? Yes, you heard me right, a LOCK PICKING DEVICE.

The Spanish guys over at sorgonet.com have done just that. By taking an old hard drive, an old mouse, a power supply and some screw drivers they built an impressive, yet odd looking, lock picking device. Take a look at the video after the break to see just how fast this thing works.

Lock picking has become a very addictive sport over the years, but remember it’s just a sport. Don’t build one of these things and use it for no good. Plus, I’m sure you’ll get some weird looks walking down the street carrying one of these.
