- I finally put together a base set for an E.D.C. and I like what I have so far.
Any and all feedback will be appreciated and taken into consideration.
I have tools in it from Sparrows, Peterson, Dangerfield and my handcuff key is from my Peerless handcuffs.
Locks used here- Schlage F51 V GEO 505 605, Brinks 2719-105
I also want to thank LockPickingLawyer for showing his and inspiring me and so many others.
Thank you all in advance for your feedback

Nice EDC kit. I wouldn’t take anything out, but I would add a decoder for combination locks, bc I have run into them a few times with buddies of mine forgetting their combination to theirs. Thanks for sharing & congratulations to the logo lock winner! He’s a great guy!😃👍🏼🔐
Thanks man! I was really stoked to win one.
Georgia Jim Congrats, man! It’s an awesome feeling! I won one a cpl mths ago & was totally shocked! It’s so cool that he does this, man. It’s a lot of fun to be a part of & watch others win one, too!👍🏼😃🎉
I think that you have picked a great set of tools!!! Also like the leather case!!!
Think you have got it all covered in a nice size package!!
👍🐈🐾😷🐈
Thanks Chris, I do think it's a good base. Time will tell
Albert Lebel I think it is a winner!!
👍🐈👍🐾👏😷
looks like a great set of tools. All that's needed is a magic key that opens all locks.
That would be me LOL
Looks like a quality set you got there. Thanks for the video!
I made a makeshift door like you have but I give you the credit cause I say I seen it from your channel! I also believe it's great practice if you can afford to get different knobs and deadbolts! Some people can't afford to waste the money and I wish I could help them all but I can't! I did give so many cases away it took a medium size box to ship them in to someone in need of them, they were the Sparrows ones that act as a pick stand too. I know you know which ones. I would put a glasses small screwdriver in your EDC cause they can open privacy door knobs like your bathroom and it's amazing the amount of people who don't know how to open these because it's so easy lol but if you got a teenager like me you would be surprised how many times she closes the door while it's locked lol
Good stuff Wes, thank you. I will take all this feedback and play around with it
Always enjoy seeing what you top end pickers use for EDC.
Thanks Michael, I do believe it's a good base to start with
Hey Al, Looks good to me. A nice mix of picks and styles.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I was on the fence about that dangerfield set but I think I might pick it up now.
Good looking EDC, and it did the trick. Thanks for sharing, happy father's day 👍👍🔓🔓🔓
Thank Rook, I appreciate your input. Getting a lot of good feedback here
I think your idea of using a shim for door latches would complete your EDC.
Thank you
EDC kit is not something I have considered but it is now. Thanks for sharing. Oh and Southampton? What!
Thanks for the video big al, love it! You sound great and video quality is just awesome.
LegalLockPicker I appreciate that. Means a lot coming from you. I attribute the great sound to you and D.
Great job man! I think you have pretty much everything you could use in the "real" world. There's always gonna be something out there that you're not gonna have what you really need, but for the average door out there, I think you got it covered. Thanx for sharing man.
Right on Chris, thank you. Yes, only time will tell. The real world will tell me what I need or don't need. I just want to keep it small
Awesome kit for an EDC! I would follow Wes's suggestion and add a small screwdriver for the bathroom door knobs....never know what else you could open with it....also you could take one of the generic credit cards you get in the mail (the ones with the cc offer, but only use a plastic one) and cut it in half lengthwise. That would fit in your case too. If you mess it up, throw it away and grab the other one. Doesn't cost you anything....
Fantastic, thanks for the feedback. I do like the mini screwdriver idea
Awesome edc set!! I really love your lock stand!! I would maybe add some bobby-pins and paper clips. Maybe even small piece of windshield wiper in different thickness. Maybe even a small piece of sandpaper. Great video!!
Awesome, I just took your advice and added a paper clip. Thank you
Excellent overall EDC Big Al! You pretty much have all the bases covered, only thing I could think of would maybe be to add a decoder knife for combo locks and such. Keep up the great videos Al!
Thanks, yes, I will put the ultra decoder in there
Thank you for sharing. Congrats to the winner.. I would add a Peterson's bypass knife
Spot on, I think the knife and or ultra decoder will be added
That a very comprehensive pick set Albert, that will pretty much open an lock. Great video as always mate. Have a great Day. 👍
Thanks Daz
Nice EDC and I agree completely with you about the Peterson Gem pick. Thanks for sharing your EDC, I was curious about what to put in an every day carry for myself.
Lock Picking Trucker Thanks so much for your feedback. And a big CONGRATS !!. I just chose your comment for the Paclock a week. Please Email me asap.
Great set up mate
Thanks Josh
I like your selection, including the bag! If the ‘E’ stood for ‘Essential’, I would think that a couple plastic shims tucked behind the picks is a great thought. I have a toolbox in the bed of my truck, so I don’t so
much think in pocket sized terms. The only thing I could think might be handy would be a coffin key set like the one Sparrows sells. I find many everyday locks are quickly passed with one of these jigglers but your selection of rakes would usually do the trick. Good set!
Great feedback, thank you. I have a good base so I think time will tell as I use it more
Awesome kit buddy
Thank you, at least it's a good base to build on
Thanks for showing us your EDC. The only things I can think to add would be a decoder, a shim for slipping locks and possibly a Goat wrench for tubular locks.
Stay well sir. Go U.S.
Thanks for the feedback
My EDC is the Sparrows Dark Shift set. I added the expansion set that included a mini Jim, wafer picks, zip pick and a knife. I added a few extra tension tools, a decoder I made and a set of warded picks. Personally, I would add some warded picks, a decoder and maybe a knife. I think those three things are pretty underrated tools for an EDC kit. I still run into warded locks and combination locks. The knife makes a great general purpose tool for getting broken keys out of locks or used as a probe.
Excellent feedback, thank you. I will be taking all of this into consideration
Nice kit, I’d consider replacing any of the sparrows rakes that the mini rakes can mimic with a decoder or deep hook like a deforest diamond or sparrows lunatic. Thanks again for everything and have a good one.
Agreed on the decoder knife, and congrats on the Paclock win!
Thank you, I will take all this info
Getting caught up on vids took the wife to hot springs this weekendbhadba bast thank big al great vid as always
Nice, thank you
Looks like a comprehensive kit you have put together there. With the Dangerfield rakes it doesn't seem like you would need to double up with the sparrow rakes. The Octo rake is something that I would take out and replace with a decoder as it is so big I am yet to find a keyway that it even fits into over here. Nice demonstration with the mock up door you did, cheers
Thanks, yes, I agree, I got the nano set after so I just crammed them in there.
Nice setup. 👍. I didn’t see any type of bypass/decoder for combo locks. I carry one in my EDC because the are so common around here. Maybe I should make a video of my EDC.
Thanks, yes, I will add one. I appreciate the feedback
I recently bought a jackknife lock pick set. It only has a bottom of the keyway tensioner, but it does have some hooks and rakes. I does not have everything you have in your kit, but it is very small.
Oh yes, I have seen those. Not a big fan but may be better than nothing.
I would remove the Octo and replace it with a half snowman for wafer locks, replace the key extractor with a decoder knife and add a Sparrows Mini Jim.
Great advice, thank you. Ya, I think with the full set of nano rakes I don't need the big ones
Nice EDC kit but I would add a mini Jim bypass knife and decoder
Spot on, great advice thank you
Ditch the long rakes and add a knife tool for unshielded locks and a decoder
Good idea, I actually have all that so I may. Thank you
While I love my Sparrows tools, I am not a huge fan of the profile of their short hook. I'd get their DIY hook set and cut one modeled after the Peterson short hook, as it gives you a little more "shelf" surface area to pick with. Even if you don't mind the smaller "shelf" of the Sparrows tip, I'd still do it, as the neck, where they narrow, is where mine tend to break. Switching to the DIY hook, and reshaping the neck so it doesn't have that angle fixed that completely.
Awesome ideas, I can toss in a short hook as I do like the flat top they have. Thank you for the feedback. I will also know a lot more as time goes on and I actually use it. The lock I mentioned picking was only a ML and it was simple
P.S. For a shim, I would get a 6" slim shim. They can be hard to find, if you can't find one, try checking out Police/Fireman supply sites. The plastic shims are nice, but I'll always have a credit/courtesy. I also have a plastic calender card, or whatever somebody is giving away, in my wallet just for this purpose. They're thin and very flexible.
Ah, very nice idea. That's using your head. Thank you Andrew
I don't see you taking anything out, I was thinking of a shim,other wise I think you got a great E.D.C. Big Al
Awesome, thank you for the feedback. Had to start somewhere
I can't believe I was not Subed - so i'm a new subby i guess .. I think the kit is rite on target .
Don Won Right on Don Won. Thank you.
Don't underestimate the value of the half ball and/or triangle. The triangle also doubles as a dimple lock pick. If your need to lose a pick, I'd let the city rake go. But then what do I know, I'm still a noob.
Spot on, I forgot about the ball for wafer locks etc. Thank you
Hate to break up the set, but you could leave the “best buster” snake rake at home. I just don’t know why you’d ever reach for that with all those other rakes in there. Also, I know it’s universally accepted that we all must do it, but can you think of ANY real word situation where you’d need, or even be able to use, a handcuff key? I’ll agree with others here; maybe a double ball for wafer locks, and a bypass knife. Lastly, Sparrows has a (Monstrom) pick that’s very similar to the Gem. You could move to that and you wouldn’t have that bulky plastic handle. Remember, these are everyday CARRY not everyday USE. Everything you can do to reduce size, weight, and bulk is going to pay off for the thousands of days you carry the kit and never even open it.
Noted, but I could NEVER eject the Peterson Gem. Its the single best pick on the market. Thanks for the feedback I agree completely about the handcuff key. I had it on my key ring so I just moved it to here.
A handcuff key in my opinion is never a bad thing to have on hand. Its small and light. You may never need it, but if you do you will really need it..... even if its cause some kid locked his buddy to a telephone pole..(experienced this once)...Most can be bypassed but its easier to use a key.
Would a shove knive fit?
Maybe a mini or something similar. I just don't see many doors without the dead latch anymore.
@@AlbertLebel true.. enjoy the dimple lock I sent for locks without borders. I think it'll be there Saturday or Monday. It was the one I opened in one of my videos.
