Electric lock pick

How I missed this when I did my round up of spy gadgets I don’t know. It appears that the subtle art of lock picking has not escaped the inexorable march of technology.
Having said that this looks like a pretty brute force approach to the problem of gaining entry without a key although it’s not as brute force as, say, a sledgehammer so perhaps it has merit. Apparently jamming one of the swappable picks into a lock and pressing the button will agitate the lock cylinders several times a second and with practice you should be able to get into many places you shouldn’t.
Is this even legal? They’re selling them so I guess they must be… If you get caught it’s nothing to do with me!
I found this one on Lockpickshop.com

Ah, the wonders I could do with that.
Not that I would do anything illegal…
