I've used one successfully in the past but I'm no expert. I fumble around like a kid on prom night until I get the result I need.

Yep, not fast by any means.

I have a similar, but much cheaper kit. Some of the other tools are really useful.

Years ago a locksmith did that when my dad locked his keys in his car in the driveway. I think it took him 2 tries.

And if you overdo the wedging, you warp the door frame.

True, but after you're inside you can roll down the window and pull it back into place.
