The manual pick gun (or snap gun) was invented by Ely Epstein.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lockmuseumofamerica.org/founders__the_legacy0.aspx|title=Founders - The Legacy |website=Lockmuseumofamerica.org|access-date=March 8, 2016}}</ref> It usually has a ''trigger'' that creates a movement which (like [[lock bumping|bump keys]]) transfers sudden energy to the key pins, which communicate this to the driver pins, causing only those pins to jump, allowing the cylinder to turn freely for a brief moment, until the pin springs return the pins to their locking position. Electric versions are also common, whereby simply pressing a button vibrates the pins while a normal torsion wrench is being used.
