- Are cheap Amazon lockpick sets worth getting? Tib3rius bought one and tested it to find out! Comparing it to brand name and popular independently made picks, Tib3rius evaluates the contents of this $32 Amazon lockpick set to see if it's worth the low price.
Watch as Tib3rius uses his years of lockpicking experience, plus a good magnet and a set of digital calipers to see just how well these picks were made. Do the turning tools turn? Do the picks actually pick anything? Watch to find out! (Spoiler: yes, and kinda)
My recommended "beginner" lockpicking set:

Loved the vid mate. Can you recommend a good starter pick set for a beginner with some practice locks that will help? (I’m in Australia) cheers!
More lockpicking content would be cool, i honestly enjoyed the video.
I would not mind more lock-picking videos.
subscribed, enjoyed the lockpicking content 👍👍
Thank you!
More lock picks please
Roger that!
Yeah, moar lock picking :) You got me interested in this
This was pretty good!
Thanks!
would you recommend or suggest a brand for beginner lock picks, like a lock picking kit with a high quality
I always recommend the Covert Instruments Genesis Set, it's high quality and comes with all the picks you're gonna need if you're just starting out. covertinstruments.com/collections/best-selling/products/genesis-lock-pick
Petersons.
Hi I really want to learn lock picking, but I’m a bit on a budget can anyone recommend any cheap and good lockpicking stuff? I’d really appreciate it!
Hey, I recommend some stuff in the video, but how much is your budget exactly?
@@Tib3riusoop just found the one you recommended lol. that's inside my budget yea! thank you so much please make more lockpicking content! i'd appreciate that :D take care
@mushroomgirl7444 Awesome! Glad I could help. By the way, if you want an easy lock to practice on, I always recommend the Master Lock 141D padlock: www.amazon.com/Master-Lock-Padlock-Aluminum-141DLF/dp/B000EUHCHU/
It's a great starter lock because it has a nice wide keyway, 4 non-security pins, and it's fully metal. You can rake it open using one of the rake picks included in the Genesis Set, or single pin pick it using one of the hook picks.
Locksport is a great hobby, and although that "pick" set is almost complete rubbish, the review was spot on! My word, those shafts get in their own way. I seriously doubt that key extractor would function at all with that profile. The set appears to be a very poor copy of a poor copy of a cheap set. Not inexpensive, cheap! A properly made wire style tension wrench can be nice, especially if the flattened end tapers a small amount. It can help it fit snugly, especially for security pins. A certain amount of flex in the other tools might help keep tension on the aforementioned security pins if the fit isn't snug. Maybe. The locksport community is known for gifting items to beginners and friends, but this set would be a last resort gift, and possibly with profuse apologies! Thanks for the entertainment! The Sparrows Mace pick sets opened a lot of locks for me when I was starting out, and they are much easier to EDC in a pinch.
"Finally: shut up." - this right there. :D
:P
I subb’ed right after I heard that.
I would still like to try that cheep China set, would you mind sending the link?
If you pay for shipping I'll happily send it to you.
@@Tib3rius it’s alright I’d rather just buy my own
@@oliverchan4358 Unfortunately I just checked my Amazon orders and the one I bought doesn't appear to be available anymore.
@@Tib3rius oh it’s alright, thanks anyway
I have this set and an CI Echelon, Genesis, Sparrow and southord. Funny thing. I have beter luck with the cheap Amazon set. I've picked a master D3, M5, brinks and a master 570 with them. Weird huh. Mine was $20.99
Seus vídeos são muito bons, seria melhor ainda se você adicionasse legenda PTBR.
I bought that amazon set myself not horrible tbh never had a good set :D
I ordered it did you pick any locks
Oh yeah loads. And helps if you lock yourself out of your apartment :D@@handzgaming9281
