burglary tools

Safecracker's kit contents

Burglary tools are implements used or intended for breaking into buildings—lock picks, pry bars, glass cutters, and similar equipment.

Possession of such tools with intent to commit burglary is itself a crime in most jurisdictions: He was arrested with burglary tools in his backpack.

The category is defined by intent; a screwdriver becomes a burglary tool when carried for illegal entry.
