- čas přidán 22. 02. 2016
- The Sparrows tuxedo lock pick set is one of the most popular beginner kits because it has EVERYTHING you need to get started. All sparrows lock picks are 301 cold rolled stainless steel, VERY tough material that will take all kinds of beginner abuse. The kit is stored in a ballistic nylon pocket case, which is available in three colors.

This is the kit I currently own. I assure anyone who wants to buy this it is very high quality and strongly made. the case is perfect and you get about every pick you'll ever need. plus it fits nicely in your pocket you won't even know it's there half the time. Great review Bill!!
Came back to Sparrows after looking @ Peterson , MB & Multipick - probably go with this impressive set , perfect for a noob :]
Oh good. I bought this set because I saw The Modern Rogue use it with LPL. All the Amazon ones had okay reviews and all the pics look like they come from the same cheap company. Glad I ordered from sparrows. Can't wait to get them
I realize it's kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good site to watch new tv shows online ?
@Nolan Coen flixportal :)
@Xzavier Dean thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it !
As a beginner I had no idea what to buy. Bosnian Bill said this was a good choice, so I listened to the expert and ordered one...with an additional .015 Bogota. Of course, I didn't completely listen to the expert; I just started picking locks.
I hated the Bogota; it always felt like a key-way was full of sand and it opened nothing. But wait, didn't the master say to polish these so the feedback was from the pins? OK 800 grit...1000 grit...1200 grit using a chopstick as a sanding block. I can't believe the difference. Now, I just wave it in front of my 4 pin Master locks and they pop open...presumably to avoid more intrusive treatment. The other picks got the same treatment, with similar results. I'm still a beginner, but I'm a happy beginner, with tools that work.
Don't ignore Bosnian Bill's advice; shiny smooth is good, really good. Don't ignore his advice about finishing either, where he uses a book to polish the picks. The movie title "There Will Be Blood" was from someone who didn't pay attention.
Someone needs to make a video for newbies, especially on how to handle your brand new tools with paper grip.
I get the idea, would love some how to, exactly.
That would be a very useful video.
I'm sure there are mistakes to be made, special techniques relatives to the different picks shapes.
@@ChristmasLore this is first I'm hearing. Got this set coming in mail tomorrow. Should I polish them up a bit?
@@minmatenx , they seemed just perfect when I got them 🎋
No need to polish them at first, maybe after a while?
@@ChristmasLore makes sense! Appreciate you :)
Boop
I like the transparency, a lot of tubers don't bother with that. Some people might take it as begging, but I don't think those people quite realize that without contributions, channels wouldn't really exist.
Thank you, sir.
Bill, I've just seen Lockpicking Lawyer's video around your retirement.
Thank you for your enormous contribution here, and I wish you - and your family - all the best for the future.
Just made a purchase of chinese picks from Aliexpress. After watching this, I instantly regret it! This is such a cool set! Definitely get what you're paying for.
Hey Bill, just wanted to say thank you for all the excellent videos you have made over the years. This kit was my first set of lock picks when you inspired me to pursue the art in high school. It has been a few years, and I haven't been picking as much as I used to, but I am still very grateful for introducing me to this awesome hobby. I hope you enjoy your retirement. Have a great time with your family!
Thanks for the lock picking content and for reviewing the multitude of items out there to help others make a more informed decision about purchases.
This is fast becoming one of my "most awaited" channels. Thanks for the vids Bill, I have never picked a lock in my life - not had the need, probs won't have the skill required too! But I enjoy watching the artisan type skill displayed.
This look like a great kit, I did pick up one of the Amazon kits you reviewed and was very happy with it. Thanks for the reviews.
Sure would like to get this kit. Still having trouble finding a kit I can afford without wasting my money on the wrong stuff.
Thanks for all the great videos.
I've actually had my eye on one of these kits for a little while. I really like what you've been doing here with the lock pick reviews! It really helps someone new to the sport like me to see what to look for, and what to avoid. Thanks!
This is the first real pick set I bought. I love it! I bought it because of this video, so thank you. Thank you for all the years and hundreds of videos teach people about lock picking. I wish you and your wife the best, take care and of course stay legal!
This is such an awesome hobby!
Started watching you not too long ago, and now I'm hooked on lock picking. But the only tools I have are paperclips.
2 years have passed. Did you ever come up with a good EDC kit?
Bosnianbill - it seems we’ll never know!!
Bosnianbill it’s awesome that you replied to that comment.
i am gonna reply to this comment in hopes shawnshark will see bill responded to him
Never got a good set, but thanks to your videos I was able to open was of my colleagues cabinet drawer with a bobby pin and a nail file after she accidentally locked her key and purse in the bottom drawer
Going through all of your beginner videos, some of the most useful information i have ever learned
Being a novice picker I think that this kit is beautiful in every way for me The case is great, the picks are Brilliant. Thank you Bill for sharing this kit, Sparrow's if it were not for Bill I probably wouldn't be buying from you. You are a company that Listens to the people in this sport. Thank you for some great tools
Nice review. I think I have almost everything Sparrows make.
The sparrows kits seem to be VERY nice..
Such a comprehensive set and I love how the hooks have been angled so that the tip touching the key pins is almost perfectly in a straight line to the centre of the handle, resulting in greater feedback. Would love to use this beauty!
As a potential beginner recreational lockpicker, this kit looks like a great one to start with. I’ve been watching your channel and LockPickingLawyer’s channel and love both of them.
What size shrink wrap did you use on this set? Getting the same kit, wanted to do what you did... thanks!
Great kit, I just got mine a few weeks ago. It's my first kit and I've been loving it.
P.S. If I win, give it to someone else
ended up buying this kit for my brother for christmas. he was really excited to start learning.
I'd love to start hobbyist picking. Thanks for so many videos, Bill! I feel like I know enough theory that I would feel comfortable diving in with both feet. You're a great teacher!
Hmmm, would you suggest this set over the southord PXS-14 set by any chance?
You are comparing apples to oranges. The PXS-14 is a very nice entry level kit and is priced accordingly. The Tuxedo is a high quality every day carry set.
oh, ahah, silly me... hmm... sorry to bother.
I know this is a bit old, but I think what he means and what a few others would like to know(The winner of the PSX14 asked a similar question which you read but didn't answer in 762) is which would be better for beginners? The Tuxedo has 7 picks with no handles and 6 tension tools, the PXS14 has 8 picks with optional handles, 1 double sided pick, 1 extractor, and 4 tension tools and there's only a $4 difference in price. So which of those would you recommend for a beginner? As a beginner myself I had debated mainly between those two sets for my first, I ended up with the Sprarrows just because I was tired of debating.
Phaux Redtail this👆. Just ordered the tuxedo. Spent weeks looking and was looking at all the other sparrows sets and finally decided to buy the tuxedo for its simplicity, quality and value.
"that snake is leaning forward like he's running" - things that only make sense in the lockpicking community :)
Really useful review series that you have kicked off. Thank you, bosnianbill for all the information. The Sparrow picks look to be very well designed.
Thanks for showing us how everything works, thanks to you I started lock picking again.
How much feedback is lost if any when you shrink wrap the handles?
nice picks bob
Here is my entry into the drawing. Thank you, Bill, for the great videos. I have learned a lot from you and your videos over the past couple months. Keep 'em coming! 😊
Thanks for the transparency and keeping the channel honest...not that I would have ever questioned you, but I think you're doing the right thing. Sparrow's would be the best set for me. I thank you for the opportunity!
Great videos Bill! You have been my primary source for learning to pick since I started a few weeks ago. Also quite entertaining. Thanks
Great review. I bought a cheap amazon kit and returned it. Thanks to you i know what quality kits look like.
I've started getting into lockpicking and that tuxedo-kit would just be the best thing ever to win
They are nice looking picks, it's nice to see the attention to detail with the whole product!
My son just bought this set. Very nice quality. Thanks for your reviews and instruction.
Bill you inspired me to start lock picking. For me it's a new level of puzzle. Thanks Bill
Sparrows kits look amazing! This looks nice for a EDC kit- thanks for the review!
I've been looking at this set for a long time, looks even bette with your seal of approval!
Finally a beginner kit you recommend! :) Keep up the good work. Hopefully the support will keep rolling in for you.
Hey Bosnian Bill,
I know you have retired from making CZcams videos but I just wanted to tell you all of your hard work and dedication is still appreciated. I am learning a lot from your videos as I get into lock picking. Thank you 🙏
bought this set about a week ago for my first set after seeing this video. cant wait to get my hands on them!
I bought one of these recently and it is great. I love the plastic in the back of the case for slipping into my coat pocket.
Love Lock Lab and appreciate your generosity, both in knowledge and tools!
Finally! Greater emphasis on the tension wrenches in a kit!
I've learned so much about lock picking from watching your videos. You really are awesome
That is a very nice review on the Sparrows Tuxedo pick set and good attention to detail on the last thinner pick for the euro and parracentric key ways
I just got into lock picking after watching your videos. My tuxedo kit arrived Friday and I cant stop raking open the master number 3 I bought for practice.
Being someone who watches and wants to get into the hobby of lock picking I think this would be the set to start off with for me. Well only the random generator will tell if I get it here or need to get one another way. Keep up the great reviews of all the various equipment and the great job you do on the various locks.
I really appreciate the info you provide in your videos. I am just starting out and have learned a lot. Thank you for the videos!
What an awesome looking kit. Thanks for the review Bill!
Wow I love your work man!! I'm watching all your videos and learning so much. Thanks for your time, and keep going!!
love all your videos I've been watching for a while you have helped me learn more about my job as a locksmith
its crazy finding your videos randomly , more or less years later almost on the same day . Such great content , I thank you and lockpickinglawyer so much for renewing my lost interest and love in lock picking. Havent had a pick set or anything in years. But planning on getting some sparrow picks soon. Was going to buy a lot of cheapish ones from banggood. but honestly it wouldnt have been much cheaper, expecially since a lot of times they're twisted and damaged.
This was my 1st pick set... Thanks for all you've done and have a happy retirement brother!!!
thanks for making these videos bosnianbill, I've learned more then I thought was possible
another informitive and uncluttered review, thank you as always Bill
You got me into lockpicking as a hobby. Thankyou so much for all the great info. Hope the best for you in your retirement.
That is a very nice kit. I like the idea of adding shrink wrap around the picks. I may try that with some of my southord picks later.
Just started out in the sport of picking and this was what I ended purchasing. Great beginners kit. Highly recommend it to others.
I would recommend some with big handles... My fingers hurt. :(
I just ordered a tuxedo set. I'm a rookie and am an avid student of Bosnian Bill and the science of lock picking.
Thanks Matthew Divine
Your Videos randomly showed up on my feed... Boy the rabbit hole I have fallen into! Great Videos!
That you have one as your EDC makes me consider this even more - it's a very nice looking set, and very slimline.
That's a really nice kit. That's the first time I've watched a review on the tuxedo and I really like it a lot keep the great videos coming bill
excited to see a sparrow review. hope I'm the lucky one. also the transparency is pretty cool love the videos bill
I like that kit. Seems simple, but elegant, and easy to carry without taking much space.
Always looking forward to a video from good ole bosnianbill, always informative.
This set looks nice! Thanks for your videos Bosnianbill.
Now that's something I wouldn't mind getting I like sparrows stuff I only have the Octo rake and the sandman but I'm happy with both I'd love love love to end up with the tuxedo set!!! Great job bill
Just getting started... looks like a perfect place to start!
That looks like an awesome kit. Thank you for the reviews, keep them coming.
I have only donated a dollar, because every dollar counts for some people. Just showing my love for your efforts! keep on going Bill!
My first pieces were hand-me-down sparrows and I still love em! They've definitely got some durability.
@bosnianbill I ran into your videos completely by chance. Without any background in lockpicking, I've been watching them for weeks now - and now finally ordered myself this kit (and a lock) to play around with it myself. We'll see whether this sticks with me, but either way, thank your for your entertaining videos! :) Can't wait to start picking on that lock.
How did you get on? It's a fairly strange hobby, but it's damn addictive, I've been picking for 4-5 years now
Thank you for showing us about this pick set.
Nice kit for everyday. I really like the shrink wrap handle idea..
Love the video thank you for all your help @bosnianbill I am new to the channel and fairly new to lock picking within reason of course.
Awesome videos! Very entertaining and interesting. The lockpick set would be awesome so I could try some picking on my spare time.
Excellent little kit. The shrink tubing is a great idea.
Just bought a couple individual picks from Sparrows and I’m very impressed!
Awesome… look forward to learning the ‘ART’
I was looking at this kit, but went with the Eagle's Nest from Peterson. Glad you did this video cause I am looking at adding to my kit.
what a fantastic little kit would be a great addition to anyone's kit
Great video as always.
Thanks in investing time and money in reviewing tools.
Keep it up!
That's a really nice kit, definitely wouldn't mind picking one up
This is my first lock-pick set. I chose it cause you suggested it a while back for a starter set. I've practiced with it several times. Ended up braking my city rake and thought its end of the world. So now I'm trying to work on my feel and hold back the power.
German guy here and I really enjoy watching your videos Bill. You do a very good job here on youtube, maybe I'll start lock picking as well in the future. :)
Love my sparrows kick start kit!! Almost got the Tux kit. But bought starter & expansion kit. Cant beat Sparrows Picks.
Thanks for the shrink wrap idea. Have some hobby tools that this will work for as well.
I really enjoy your channel, It helped me get into Lock-picking as a hobby.
Very nice set! Great idea naming patreons too!
Thanks fir the recommendation bill I've carried a modified version of the Peterson eagles nest for years. I bought this kit with the addition of a couple more slim picks. Shrink wrapped the handles and I find it to be a far superior product for a fraction of the cost.
Oh man you been pumping out videos a true king!
Very cool! The combination of twisted tensioners and z tensioners are a particularly nice feature of the kit, since you have some options as to what angle you want to tension it from.
Sparrows does make great picks and they are probably some of the best picks I've tried out.
hmm thats cool kit. just started picking locks. thanks for all the great videos
I love the idea of using heat shrink tubing on the handles to make it more comfortable. Nice looking pick set.
Awesome video. Very smart to add that .015" hook!
love these videos and i cannot wait to start learning, ive seen all your videos so far
