Force or stealth

[Scythe13]

Don't spend money on already made bump-keys.

You can VERY easily make your own.

Check out youtube on how they work, and then just make your own. REALLY simple to do.

Personally, I think having a set of bumps as well as picks is a good idea (providing you are well practiced at both). Personally, I used to be good with picks at uni, but last month travelled up north to see mum, and forgot my key. EDC has lock picks in it, so got them out. I was so out of practice, it was embarrassing! If you get them, practice practice practice!!!

As for force or stealth, if there's a bomb threat and you need to take shelter, and there's a padlock on a shelter, I'll do whichever will get me into that shelter fastest. If being chased, taking my time might not work too well there either. If I'm breaking into somewhere and need to be quiet, it would make sense to be stealthy.

Having the ability to do both is a huge advantage!
