Huh, street sweeper bristles are metal?
- bombcar 4y agoThe ones I've seen are either metal (black ones) or very hard plastic (blue).
- gruez 4y ago>very hard plastic (blue). mmm... microplastics
- jakzurr 4y agoThat is correct. Decades ago, my cousin was into recreational lock-picking, and it turns out the bristles are perfect for machining into such tools. EDIT - whoops, I stand corrected, metal or plastic.
- iamflimflam1 4y agoRecommended by the MIT guide to lock picking - https://www.lysator.liu.se/mit-guide/MITLockGuide.pdf https://www.lysator.liu.se/mit-guide/MITLockGuide.pdf page 44
- ta988 4y agoThey are no that great because they rust. Windshield wiper blades are a much better metal. And you can find tons of them just going to an auto store parking lot after a rain.
- nibbleshifter 4y agoQuite often, yes! I sometimes collect them for making lockpicks and other small tools (a common practice!)
