Impressed that “12 piece” actually meant 12 picks, instead of 9 picks plus a case plus a package plus a cardboard shipping box.
I saw one on Amazon listed as 27-piece that counted the 2-3 locks as well as the 2 keys per lock
Turns to a 17 with wrenches and lock at least to me
1 pick, and its got 11 screws down the handle
It said 19 piec for me, 2 keys 12 pickd 1 case 1 lock 3 tension tools
9 picks plus 3 tension tools
You picked that lock like you were annoyed of it’s weak existence 😂
yeah it is a beginner lock. I an complete novice picked it in 5 minutes looking at it and blindly in an hour. after training a bit with it I can do it in a minute blindly
Those practice locks are ridiculously simple to open. I had never picked a lock before and I ordered a kit like this which didn't even come with the picks due to some shipping mishap so I only received the lock. So I took a couple of hairpins and bent them into a pick and tension wrench and I had the lock open in less than 30 seconds randomly hitting the pins until they clicked

I watched it back and i can see it now totally.
reviews expensive locks „they are trash and so easy to unlock“
reviews cheap tools „its ok because I still can unlock expensive locks with it“
Well when you pay $300 for a lock you expect it to be pretty good. The set was $16 cant except much.
To be fair i can see why since if you use expensive locks you probably have something that you wanted to protect

I actually have a this exact kit, and used the clear lock to learn the basics of how to rake. Two years later I had a tenant rekey every door in his rental and then split without giving me the new keys... picked every single one with this kit. Took me about an hour total but I learned enough to get it done in the real world!
Actually a cool story
Nice work!
mine broke in the lock
@@trevorwilliams1783 with a jigsaw blade you can retrieve the broken parts.
I got that kit too and learnt the basics with it.
One day at work some keys to some kind of lockers, where we stored a lot of important tools, got lost, and the next day i brought this kit with me.
It took me some time, but i managed to open all 16 of them.
Some apprentice thought of me as a criminal after 😂

For d learned thieves who watch CZcams....
Im interested in buying some picks from Southern Specialties. They have singles for sell. Also theres a set from them endorsed by Toool that looks ok. Im going to buy this set from Bangood though. This was a good review.
I bet he picks the lock to his own house every time he gets home

It would definitely be quicker than using those pesky keys

Alex Chulzhanov comments like this are why the comments section can be pure gold sometimes. I laughed loud enough to get the “look” from my wife. 😂
I kind of favor the cheap, startup set. That way, when one finally breaks, you know which you use the most and can spend more on replacing it with something better. The ones you end up with undamaged are obviously not as useful.
I was always taught to by cheap, and if you use it enough to break, then buy the expensive one. No use buying an expensive tool you only use once
This is awesome advice lol
This is exactly what I did with my 3/4 inch socket set
@@totakkyr7627 I've witnessed cheap tools destroying or marring a workpiece up to where it couldn't be fixed. So I buy once buy right
Lockpicking Lawyer has legitimately the funniest and least hostile comment section on YT. I actually enjoy it.
It's the best community. I always laugh a lot. Such much genius in the funny comments here.
This is is that you?
Right? This is my feel good space, to get away from the politics and hostility on seemingly every other channel I watch
If the lock manufacturers don't want shade they should make better locks. It's like LPL mentioned about the Master Lock paradox -- good 6-pin locking mechanism, crappy plastic outside VS mediocre 4/5-pin locking mechanism, super expensive exterior and hardened steel shackle.
Just bought them, thank you for the reference, and for the sandpapering tip.
* Please consider giving us newbies a summary showing what each pick is good for and it's proper use. Cheers.

@@paidref7137 I got mine on eBay for 10 bucks
This guy doesn't even have ads in his videos. And that's amazing
Is he able to monetize at all then? I’m guessing not right?
This video IS an an ad. He has a few more with Banggood and even said that you could get a discount with his coupon.
"Price point is the key here..."
Was that an intentional pun?
I don't think our guy uses keys. I doubt he even knows what one is.
He locks them to the lock to not lose them
Maybe a day he will figure out what they are for
What made you PICK up on that
I am a Facility Manager at a 50,000 sq ft day shelter for the homeless in my local community. We have lots of locks and my predecessors didn't leave me much of a discernible system of tracking which doors use which keys or pad lock combination charts. I've been flying by the seat of my pants for some time now. This job is specifically how I found your channel. I've watched several of your videos and found you to be a very valuable resource. I have my own key cutter up and running now, I have a cheap stamping kit to label keys with, and I just received my first lock pick kit. It isn't the one you review in this video but it is similar. I've fumbled around with the practice locks for about a week but yesterday I had the need to use my newly obtained tools and freshman skills. It felt pretty cool being able to open a door without the key. Thank you for all the tutorials.
The pause after he picks the lock then clears his throat... I could hear the boredom in silence lol
silence is usually more eloquent than anything else.
“Okay”
Cheese
Heck, there was one of these in a spy shop as a demo and I picked it in 2 seconds flat with no prior experience
I had never picked a lock before in my life, used a set like this that a friend had gotten, picked the lock in a matter of seconds without looking at it at all after I had the tension bar in place (until it was picked). Those locks are absolutely trivial to pick, and being transparent isn't the reason at all.
It's designed to be super easy. Every pin is smooth, no spools or cerrated pins, and it's designed to set pin 1 first, pin 2 second, etc.
@@MegaJoblogs I have a similar one, you can often open it just by tensioning it and sticking the pick in the keyway.
@@jasonmhite They're hilariously bad locks no doubt. On mine, you can literally just jam a pick right into the back and push open the latch holding down the shackle. No tension or picking required.
Never owned a set until I started watching your videos and subscribed . I ordered the set before seeing this review and surprised you gave it a thumbs up . I feel better about it and it’s on its way . As a machinist I have some round and square surface stones I will use to smooth out the edges .
At 70 I have a new hobby . 😁
Rock on brother 🤟🏻
I thoroughly appreciate your integrity, honesty and fair (painfully so, in some cases) review process! The fact that you refuse to shill for any particular product line, manufacturer, lock brand, or *gasp* your own profitable "line" of logo-inscribed picking tools, etc., only increases the value of your channel content, imho, as it allows each review & lock picking challenge to stand on its own right--unchallengable by your industry counterparts or lock "brands" who don't appreciate your educational & highly illustrative methodology. Well done, as usual, sir. Thanks
i just got this as my first pick set. im trying to pick everything in sight lol
Congrats on your first set, and good luck!
@acabobie Yeah, me too. Still haven't picked them all, 40 years later!
@acabobie
Man, you were picking before it was cool.
@acabobie I started with your nose too!!
Your nose? Your cat?
"We need picking in every video" I was getting worried because I thought there wasn't going to be any :P
Daniel P Well, some of his other videos contain no picking.
@@johnfrancisdoe1563 Depends on if you consider Ramset, "picking".
Yes.
I wanna get into lock picking with the intention of moving up to auto theft, house breaking and finally white collar crime if I'm sufficiently talented.
Roger Onslow Yes officer, this post right here.
yep
Well, it's inspiring to find someone willing to master the basics first!

I literally have this same set and it is scary good. I watched a few videos and practiced with the clear locks for several hours and by the end of the day I was literally able to pick open the front door to my house lol.
I would listen to this guy all the day
I did... I never knew lockpicking was a hobby. But after watching tons of this guys videos I learned how locks work and can't wait to start picking myself
Higor Guedes had to vote this one down. Lame AF.
great voice , he should read fiction audio books .......and the history guy could read factual books
Abit slow for my taste
He is sick with a cold in this video, watch some others, great content👌🏼
I bought that exact set when I started minus the lock. They are GREAT. I still use the city rake and standard hook even though I use mostly Peterson tools now a few years later. They held up, they take a polish great, the material is solid, the feel is great... I have zero complaints. Any beginners who are thinking of getting into it, GET THIS SET.
Thanks for your input. It's good to hear from someone who has been using this for more than a couple days (like me).
Ive had these a while and they are pretty nice for like $4
The FNG!
HA, I actually bought this set as my very first pick set. Ive had a fascination for lock picking for a while but watching you really pushed me into buying a set for myself. I fumble more than I actually pick, i cant exactly say that i can feel the pins, just go over them while applying pressure until it snaps open. Thanks for being that inspiration to finally getting me started.
Just got this after ordering it a while ago, and one thing I would add: When you buy this, buy some sports tape or electrical tape or something for the handles. The metal digs into your hand in a slightly painful way, and it makes using these picks for extended periods uncomfortable.
Also, the version of this that is sold by Banggood at the moment has had some changes. The tension wrenches included are less springy so they're actually usable.. but not on this lock.
I purchased a couple of cheap locks for a buck a piece off eBay when I bought this, and while they work fine for opening those, the tension wrenches are too thin for me to tension the keyway on the practice lock. That might just be bad technique on my part, but I couldn't find a way to do it with either top or bottom of the keyway tension. So you should probably pick up a tension wrench set as well, preferably with a TOK tension wrench of some kind in it!
he should do a bobby pin challenge or something
I learned with a paperclip and a pocket flathead screwdriver.

Nice to see someone not hating on cheap beginners picks, you have to (as you did) take them in context - I'm quite fond of the Secure Pro pick set for £5 after all, picking is much more than how much you spend on your kit. Nice review :-) have you looked at the Honest Dong Shi dimple set from these guys?
Thanks, and I have not ever held the HDS dimple picks, but I did see your review. :-)
Lock Noob yeah bill Bosnia getsba hard on withbsparrows
Secure Pro was my first set that got me into picking it came with an acrylic lock and a credit card set for £1.98 from Gearbest on sale bargain, now I use Mad Bobs there is a bit of a wait but well worth it.
Exactly what I thought also because it was my first set to see if I could do it then I got theklom set then pickology and h &h the blue set that's what I'm on now
I like ur vids too Mr noob Graham Glasgow
"probably like a hundred locks in the review process"
Oh, they only paid you for 30 minutes huh?
This comment is under appreciated
Makes sense!
Yea like 3 locks per min
I read this comment right as he said it
Back in the '90s I was doing some work for a friend that is a locksmith. He taught me how to pick locks. My wife and I got into a tiff and she threw me out of the house and had the locks changed. The next day while she was at work I came home and easily picked the new lock and let myself back into the house. It was funny.
Also, Interesting use of the y wrench! I use a y wrench to tension those smiley dimple keyways as you are able to apply torque while keeping the pins clear for picking
I never thought to use one that way -- thanks for the tip.
My son has been genuinely interested I becoming a locksmith for many years. I got a set of 10 different types acrylic locks, but without any picks. I found getting picks separately from the acrylic locks had a marked improvement of both quality and variety.
Also, the snowman has been my favorite for a couple of years, now. I'm not sure why, but it just seems to rake faster.
maybe the snowman's circular shapes help smooth out the motions?
Just got my order of this in today. So I'm going through the lock and saying in my head "Nothing on one... small click out of six, back to the beginning", and then that feeling of elation when the cylinder turns. You've brought me joy!

great review.
seems like a good beginner kit.
I've always referred acrylic locks as demonstration locks...
definitely not "Practice" locks.
lol
Thanks.
What is the difference?
I only heard it referred to as a "learning tool". which quite fits what it is.
@@jacobnussbaum2309 i believe that it's because "practice" must be somehow challenging at the very least, which is not the case at all for these kinds of locks
@@shiro5003 so they're too easy to be worthwhile practice tools?
I wish this was a class in highschool lol.
There would be a few problems with that. The school would have to pick-proof their locks.

When I was a kid I picked a masterlock with two thin Bobby pins that girls wear in their hair ,it took me almost 20 mins I had no clue what I was doing,this was before phones and CZcams and I heard a click and then it just opened up,I was amazed
Thank you, I’ve wondered for years how to use the Y tension bar. Also the windshield wiper diy idea is great too!
I absolutely loved the review. These reviews of equipment , especially the inexpensive starter kits are the push sometimes needed for beginners. I myself being one of those beginners, I recently purchased a similar set but with three clear locks for twenty euro €21.50 to be exact. And with the wisdom I've learned from all the videos yourself and bill have graced us with am ready to take the plunge. Again thanks for all the knowledge and keep up the fantastic work..
Id love to see one of these clear locks used in conjunction one of the ultrasonic raker guns and get incredibly closeup video of it. That would be super awesome
Hi. Came across your video and then couldn't help but watch a bunch more. The need to get my own stuff unlocked when keys have been lost, etc. has happened a few times so this fascinated me. Then you showed the kit video & had to get one. Prior to arriving my portable gun safe in my truck quit beeping as I tried to open it at the range...your spoon trick worked, sort of, except I only had a small pry tool. It's on its way back to Amazon too. So the kit arrives and thanks to your videos I opened the clear lock in about 30 seconds, my bike rope lock in 1.5 minutes and the clear lock again in less 15 seconds. My son didn't watch the videos but I explained it to him since he was fascinated, so he tried for a bit more than 2 minutes on the clear lock until he got it. This is just something cool to learn especially when it works. Thank you very much.
I'm an absolute beginner and bought this set for learning. The good: I was able to pick my very first door lock with it, but to do that easily I had reduce a bit the small diamond pick. The bad: the picks are not as sturdy, I broke the tip of two, my mishandling for sure but is not that I subjected them to any significant force. Also, the transparent locks, as someone mentioned, may be good to learn how things work in principle, but are so loose that they give a very poor and different feedback from a standard lock.
Thank you I learned a lot from this review. I have this kit, and I found black tape on the handles made them more comfortable to hold. Your wiper insert tip is great, I will try that.
Thank you. I've had this kit for two years. After days of practice I never once opened that training lock. After watching you demonstrate I picked it open in less than 1 minute. It has inspired me to get back to working with locks. Now maybe I can finally open the trunk to the project car I bought two years ago as well (the reason I purchased this kit in the first place).
Did you open the trunk?
@@ukrainium_92 we need to know
His friend that was trapped in the trunk is probably long dead by now.
a year and a half later you asked 😂
@@ukrainium_92 I never did get that trunk open. Sold the car with the trunk still locked, never finding out who, errr, I mean, what, was inside.
I bought a pick set because of this channel and by PURE coincidence I selected this exact set except i paid $5 for it on ebay. I had to use a file to smooth mine because the edges were serrated. Pretty awesome!
Just bought this set as my first pick set based on this review. You're right about them being rough. They're almost serrated.
Picked the demo lock quickly, then moved on to a Master No. 7, which I bought today as my first lock. I was getting discouraged until I spent about 5 minutes with 400 grit on one of the single pin hooks. Now the No. 7 pops open almost as soon as the tool is inserted!
Did you buy off banggood?
Picking 100 locks for a review, that's real dedication to your fans! Think it's a great entry point for people interested with no prior experience, they can upgrade to better picks later if they want.
It took him six minutes
I just picked this kit up on Banggood for $12 because I've been been wanting to learn how to lockpick as a hobby and was afraid to spend a lot of money on a kit. They are a bit rough but I managed to open a cheap Master 30mm luggage lock with it.
I hope you let Master Lock know of your happy purchase.
Did you pay with credit card or PayPal?
Your beast! Love the way you smash people's feeling of security! But your also exposing the flaws in every locking device! Well done!
I have more or less the same set from Amazon. I've gotten to use it a handful of times in the last year for clients who lost keys to file cabinets, server racks, etc. Very fun to pull it off.
I got this kit off ebay about a week ago and am only now starting. Opened the acrylic lock about a dozen times now while looking, but I think the best use of the see thru one is to see what pin I'm on in the keyway, cos I'm so beginner I can't feel when i'm on the next one or not yet. Either way this is great for me :) I bought it after watching this video btw and wanted to come back and thank you.
I ended up purchasing this 12 piece set, as well as some extra torque wrenches, as well as the lock itself. The kit is actually not bad at all For the price. It does work and it will open most stuff. The quality isn’t 10/10 but it’s at least 6/10 and it will probably last a good number of picks before it starts to get weak. Would recommend, had it about a year now.
I have a locking gun display case that I couldn't find the key for and saw a few of your videos so I decided to by a pick set and bought this very set from Amazon. I spent about an hour picking the transparent lock that came with it, first watching the pins as I manipulated them and then holding the lock so I couldn't see what I was doing and going by feel alone. The next morning I went to the gun rack and had it open in about 5 minutes. I bought a new lock at the same time I ordered the pick set and swapped it out. As you said in the video, this was an inexpensive set and I really only figured I would pick this one lock and be done. But now I'm hooked, in fact I was looking to pick up a better set of tensioning bars before I came across this video. After watching your video on how you practice I'm going to gather up every lock I can find around here and develop a skill. Keep making these videos as I find them very informative. Thank you.
I'm glad you pointed out the sharp edges, I have a similar set which bites in as you are trying to slide it back and forth.
Excellently timed throat clearing. "Is it adequate?" (clears throat, No)
Thanks for the review. I dont know much about the art of lock picking,but this looks like a good set to get an introduction into your art.
Thanks for this post, I’d been considering buying this kit, your video convinced me. It arrived today, took me 4 minutes to pick the lock! I am looking forward to watching your other videos to increase my skill, thanks so much!
Nice. I actually bought this set to start out with, I already have done some practicing with them and I've been happy with how well they hold up. The tip about the sanding is very good to know though. And I am already planning to buy a little set of proper tension wrenches, I've been using the fat one but that trick with the black one with the 2 ends looked like it will be even better until I get those new tension wrenches.
Cheers! Now all I need to do is start collecting locks and telling everyone I know that any time they have old locks they won't use anymore, that I could put them to good use for practice and would love to have any old lock, if they were planning to get rid of it anyway.
I have absolutely no use for this but man you make me want to buy one.
I absolutely love your video's.
Thank you very much for all your work.
IKR...I want to get one but I'm worried that I'll be put on someone's watch list...Lol
Everyone should get this. They can't watch everyone.
I've been intrigued watching your videos, but didn't really think about trying to pick myself. Kinda odd considering both my dad and brother did locksmithing. Well, I just ordered this set. Looks like I'm going to try to learn more about locks now too. Thanks lockpickinglawyer! 😀
I've been learning with this set and I'm glad to see that the expert agrees with my opinions! Obviously the picks are cheap, but they're surviving my clumsiness really well.
Oh, if anybody else is struggling to open the acrylic lock, a squirt of WD-40 did wonders for me. The pins overset really easily.
I received this set as a gift. I'm a newbie to lockpicking, but as a beginner I have to say this is a pretty accurate review. The picks themselves are pretty good, the acrylic lock was neat to mess with and the tension bars do kinda suck. The Z-bar fit most of the locks I was practicing with though and worked well enough. I haven't tried using the Y-bar but now I'm going to give it a shot the way he was using it.
Delighted you gave a good review. I bought this and have been using it for a short time (first set) and I’ve found it great
Soft picks probably aren't an issue with tempering. It more likely that they're a mild steel like 1018 instead of a medium to high carbon steel like 1045 or 1095. You can't really harden 1018.
Those tweezer-style tensioners work really well with one prong top & bottom, since they leave the entire keyway open for picking, and the spring-action holds them in place nicely.
Your channel got me into picking i picked up this set two days ago... Ive been going out and buying more locks every day lol. Thank you for an awesome channel
I just found this on Ebay shipping from the UK, I think it will be my beginners set. A new hobby!
Bought the same on Amazon it was great practice until I broke a few picks due to having ham hands then moved on to a more expensive set and started using real locks which I purchased or was given... Anyway lock picking is one of my favorite types of puzzle.
Got this set today and literally been trying to pick that lock for over 2 hours wow I suck at this
Keep going, the thiev guild is watching you
@@DarkWolper It was so much easier in Skyrim 😂
@@ns3938 Did you manage to open the lock? :)
Lol yeah you suck

Based on this video, I went and bought this set. I've since picked several locks with them, from cheap Chinese locks Stanleys, Yale and Abus.
I also gave the lockpicking bug to my brother in law. Absolutely worth the price.
Now after a year of picking, I'm ready to consider investing in "the pick that Bosnianbill and LPL made".
I love these longer videos. Bring them back please!!!
I had this set. It worked well enough for a beginner learning the basics. I got it for $15....it rather, the person who got it for me paid $15.
The double peak is really effective.
„I am THE lockpickinglawyer and I don’t have a house. I just walk around when i‘m tired and pick the lock of the next house which looks free!“
Because of your review and your praise of the kit I have finally decided to get started in my adventures and lock picking thank you for making this video hopefully I can be somewhat good by the time it gets here
Thanks for the video. I'd just like to say that high carbon steel can be (and often is) harder and more wear-resistant than stainless steel. Of course, both are very broad categories of different steel alloys so there are some stainless steel alloys that (when properly heat-treated) can be harder than a similarly heat treated piece of high carbon steel. The main benefit to stainless is that it is much more corrosion-resistant.
I timed this all wrong. I've recently bought this set and currently waiting for it to arrive. I was sceptical when I paid for the set thinking "oh no another cheap set... I'm an idiot" but thanks to you I'm feeling a little more positive. Hopefully the goodies will be here by the weekend! Thanks for a great review.
LOL... that's how it always happens. Good luck with these picks, and let us know how you like them after you've had a chance to give them a test drive.
Nice review. Very surprising too. That price is what makes it. In locksport, I am a believer in you get what you pay for but these may be a good idea to put a few aside just in case you break a pick. I just can't afford to put stock in Petersons as backups. Those would be good to "get me by" until I could replace my main one. Thanks bud!
Thanks... someone else had mentioned something similar... they are cheap enough to get a few for the car, toolbox, office, etc. That said, you better buy some sandpaper at the same time because that's a lot of finishing!
I love the humble yet honest review for us beginners.
After watching a TON of your videos I went and bought a set/lock like this. I never really cared about lock picking before but after all the videos of yours I for some reason had to buy a set and try it for myself. After a few times picking the plastic lock I started doing it blind. Then started raking it which was even easier. The other lock that came in the kit is far harder to to but now Its pretty simple. Im just going to skip master locks as I think I am already beyond those LOL.
btw, the same kit (by 'daniu') only got better, it seems they took LPL's advice on board and they now have really nice polished stainless steel tension wrenches - they have a bit of a burr on the ends, I recommend gently licking them with a file to smooth them up. The brass of the lock is quite soft, and given how thick the slot is compared to the tension wrench, the bottom bit got a little chewed up with use, I recommend using the normal tension tool on the top of the key instead, it doesn't seem like the new y-tensioner works for that anymore. The tolerances on the pins in the lock are pretty bad and they're all rounded which isn't great, but i guess it hones control. Just go slow and keep the tension light.
Only complaint is that the arms of the picks are pretty sharp on my fingers, but I never sanded them like LPL suggested. I've had great success using the set on all of the locks in my house and hope to continue growing my skill for much longer.
I made a set of picks about 20 years ago from stuff called fish tape, for pulling wire through conduit. They've always worked good for me

I've bought 4 pick sets within a month, and I've chosen the best picks out of all of them, now i have all the good ones in a single case
Just picked my first two locks with tools I made myself. ;) (wrench and hook) it was two padlocks on an old suitcase that I don’t have the keys for. Necessity made me do it! ;)
Seems like a fun hobby.
I bought this set on your recommendation, it works out good, though there is one notable change. The tension wrenches I received were not the same black steel as the Y wrench and pick heads.
They are now a significantly less flexible, harder chromed steel and while I havent found the Zbar all that useful in smaller keysways, I have been much more successful with the longer one.
Altogether I'm very happy with this set. Thanks for the objective recommendation! It often dissuades me from trying out new hobbies when according to the experts anything less than expensive is total junk and a waste of time. Thanks again, love your channel man! 🙂
You picked a real lock quicker than I pick a "novice" one in Skyrim.
You are freaking amazing, I find locks to be the ultimate puzzle, so I had purchased a set very much like that set you have there but mine had like 22 pieces an acrylic lock w/keys and case for around $20 off of wish. You thought me something on this video. I didn't know the correct pick to use or the real purpose of the tension wrench. Thank you so so very much. 😁
Now I feel better about having ordered this set a few days ago can't wait to try it out
I have been aware of a lot of products on Banggood but I wondered why reviews within the lock picking community had not picked up on tools like these. Then I asked a question sometime ago on a forum and was told to Google Banggood reviews. I did and even though it was obvious why I still placed an order and found out very quickly if you have a problem too bad as stated in many reviews. It seems low cost items become expensive if you have a problem. I am in the UK though and PayPal buyer protection does work if you are prepared to pay return postage and its not cheap to post back internationally from the UK.
In my own opinion I appreciate the videos I would have never got started in this sport if it was not for LockPickingLawyer and another great chap on you tube from Canada I think but endorsements can always be tricky, especially when its Banggood your promoting.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I can't speak to BG's business practices and customer service... I can say that I've never had issues with them in the few orders I placed with them in the past, but you never really know about customer service until something goes wrong, and thankfully I've not had any issues.
"I think but endorsements can always be tricky." That's an understatement. This video should only be seen as a discussion of my personal experiences and opinions on the product.
Wait so you’re telling me that any random guy can get into my house with $16 and a bit of practice
You have awoken from your false sense of security slumber.
That is correct although from experience as a window fitter/glazer theives often prefer a window they are much easier to break
$16? What world do you live in? Anybody that wants to enter your house without your permission only needs a rock or a stick. I wish the [edited] that broke into my house had been courteous enough to pick the lock instead of kicking the door in.
@@jssamp4442 If you have anti-theft insurance the guy breaking your window can be preferable because then the insurance can't claim that you left your door unlocked and refuse to pay.
Someone broke into a childhood friends house quite a while ago and stole some stuff. The fact that he broke in with a crowbar helped them to get a payout for at least some of it.
Wow I was just looking at this set and I think I’m going to buy it now. I recently started watching your channel and now I’m going to try out some lock picking because I think it could be a very valuable skill to have. Love the content keep it up!
Stumbled on this channel a couple of months ago, just ordered this kit.. can’t wait to try..😇 love your content!
This lockpicking set looks like it is something I would throw into a "bug out" survival bag.
It doesn't look like it would stand up very well to a daily usage type situation. But when you said the price point..I was like damn
wow I'm either an idiot or a genius. I've been using the Y bar to open warded no 22 masterlocks thinking it was a special tool for that and it works horrifyingly well. I can pop one open in just longer than it takes to use the key if I hit the sweet spot. I had no idea it was a tension tool.
You're an idiot. Never assume yourself a genuis those don't exist anymore and anyone who thinks they do are an idiot. Have a nice day
If it sounds stupid but it works, it’s not stupid.
@@Fluffisnoterm I disagree. Sometimes you are just an idiot who got lucky 😂😂
@@ingers.4653 He clearly said he wasn't a genius! Based on what he wrote vs what you wrote, you're the most intellectually challenged of the two! 😁
i have a very similar set of picks, and the price per pick was just over 1$ per pick and it was also a 12 pick set.
i am very happy with the set and it works for me as a beginner and i have opened less than 10 locks, one with safety pins in it but i can't do it quickly yet. the lock on my garage has 3 barrel pins and it took me over half an hour to open, but i got it open which i am really proud about
I got one of these at the start of lockdown because the advice was "learn a skill when in isolation." I never got that good or that fast but it is a fun "puzzle"
"We need picking in every video"
HEY YES I DO! I'm hella hooked 😂
Those pins got hella hooked too.
@john Smith best comment I've seen.@ LockPickingLawyer I've been watching your videos for a long time now. i just let them play in the background on 1 screen while i do things on my other screen while using my computer. Although i had not taken a stance to start lock picking myself. Until now that is. i just ordered the kit from banggood and with the transparent lock in hand and some guidance from your videos, now this actually seems like a skill i may be able to pick up. your videos are always interesting, and what you do is definitely an art form. i just wanted to say that now as i watch your videos it will most likely be with a lock in hand trying to learn something, instead of idling listening to you as you work. ( 1 is set, 2 is binding, little click out of him, counter-rotation on 3....)
Had these for three years now. Outside of some Southford sets I bought 15 years ago, the picks in the video are my favorite.
The pick blades do have some slight burrs and sharp edges, so be sure to give it a light sanding or hit it with a deburring wheel.
I agree with you review I bought this set after watching your videos for a while but never seeing this video. the only pic that broke on me was my full city rake and a year later I'm still using all of them. Got mine for $14 total. Only thing I needed to do is I made my own tension wrenches out of wiper inserts.
Great review. Looks like a good starter set for beginners.
Thanks.
I love to practice picking while watching your videos! Also 2 thumbs up on the new series.
LOL, I did the same thing with BB videos when I was first starting out... sometimes I still do, but now I have Amazon Prime Video... :-)
I love the quality of your instruments on your website. Great idea on the used wiper blades.
I got this set and their whole set of practice locks today (bought it on my own, did not see this video earlier). I was able to pick the one in the video with absolutely no prior experience in about 30 seconds. In about an hour or so picking all their practice pin locks, I was able to pick my own dead bolts in a few minutes, while loosing any sense of security from standard door locks. For some reason these have serrations like a file. I too took them off prior to using them since that will tear up the brass inside the lock. Also the rivets need to be hammered down more to secure them, but they work.
