  • This Full EOD kit from Sparrows Lockpicks is a FANTASTIC little kit for on-the-go. I’ve been playing with it a lot since I made this vid before Christmas and my opinion of it has only got better over time.

    I love my EOD Full kit! I just added a Medusa and a warlock for any wafer lock and a decoder for combo locks. I also added the 2 sizes of the SSDev sets and it is a great EDC kit for basically all locks. Great review bud! Keep up the good work my friend! Oh, BTW, I did add the flat 5 TOK and the heavy bars TOK.

    • @LockNoob
      @LockNoob  Před 6 lety

      Sounds like it’s pretty well equipped now :-) I just added 3 pry bars

    I really like their kits and want to get their kits till the next kit, then i want that one.when i buy one i always add so much stuff that i wind up needing "two men and a boy" to carry it. thanks for the video and thanks for sharing.

  • @TheSnowplough
    @TheSnowplough Před 6 lety +4

    I quite like this kit, the picks look well finished and the bare handles are waiting for cable ties to make them better. The mini jim looks useful, I use my full size jim to open latches on gates occasionally as well as rapid entry in other ways not to be spoke of here. The wafer picks are the only thing I’m not sure about, as you say a bit longer would/could be better, if you add the warded pick set then your good to go for just about any situation. And of course the Boomslang (Medusa) adds a whole lot to this fantastic EOD kit.

    • @LockNoob
      @LockNoob  Před 6 lety +1

      Handles would be great, but it would make the kit a lot bulkier. Warded picks are something I might add... only 2 would be needed really i recon :-)

  • @NoctisMotus
    @NoctisMotus Před 6 lety +2

    Great kit. The addition of a deeper hook would be nice and maybe some additional tension tool choices. Go Sparrows!

    • @LockNoob
      @LockNoob  Před 6 lety +1

      Yeah, swap out the double peak for a medium hook I recon :-)

    Very nice kit over-all. I think I might, some day! My current EDC (Because it's my only set) is the Sparrows Competitor case packed tight, it'd be nice to have something a little more portable.

    If you're only into pin tumbler picking the Sparrows Tuxedo uses the same case and wrenches but with four picks and three rakes. The addition of a thin .015 hook, the offset hybrid and a city rake completes a good all round set for both the raker and SPPer. The nice flat and stiff case makes for a great starter kit or the core of an everyday carry pocket set. It's also available in .015 as the Tuxedo Royale with a .020 short hook instead of the original Tuxedo's .015 "euro hook" so no duplicates as advertised. not bad for $39.

    • @LockNoob

    I do like their tuxedo cases. I have the Dark Shift with the same case in stone grey. A nice durable and slim profile case for EDC. I even ordered a spare Tuxedo to replace a leather case I don't really care for on another mfg's kit. I already had a set of wafer picks and a Jim, so when I saw the Dark shift included TOK and a Sandman, I ordered a set. Both of them are nice.

  • @EnzoGuardino
    @EnzoGuardino Před 6 lety +1

    Thanks for the informative review. That is an impressive, everyday carry kit. The probe/knife is a rare and practical addition. I love the case, too, but will it get too 'busy' when all those individual items are placed in the case? Especially if you add those essentials/extra/personalised knick-knacks. In the end it may not be as stealthy as it looks. There again, I'm a hoarder, so no case is ever enough. I must have been a magpie in a previous life...I just can't resist shiny things. 👼

    • @LockNoob
      @LockNoob  Před 6 lety +1

    • @LockNoob

    Just bought it. Wanted to find a quality 'one size fits most' set. Sparrows has seemed to deliver on this one.
    It was especially frustrating because I'd find a pick set that I like, but no bypass tool that could double decoding/bypassing combination locks.
    :)

  • @christophercuckow6329
    @christophercuckow6329 Před 6 lety +1

    A good little review but I'm surprised you didn't go for the Bomba Roayle which is in .020 instead on the .025. Or have you seen the new Ranger, I very impressed with it but again it built out for a price point for you to add to, so I've added TOK and .050 heavy bar, a sake rake in .025, some .015 picks and rakes and the mantis and I also plan to add a Medusa/Boomslang when they are back in stock.

    • @LockNoob
      @LockNoob  Před 6 lety

      I like all of those kits, but I wanted a small kit with the 0.025s and this seemed to fit the bill :-)

  • @gantry289
    @gantry289 Před 6 lety

    Thanks for the review. It looks like a nice kit. I have to ask, did you buy it or was it given to you for review? I only ask because it seems like you you didn't know what was in the kit...

    • @LockNoob
      @LockNoob  Před 6 lety

      I bought it, but I hadn’t looked too much into exactly what was in it, I remember seeing a B.B. vid of it some time ago and I made a mental note to get one one day. Plus I filmed in a rush lol :-)

    Nice review. Pretty cool kit. I had to stop myself from buying a new kit when I went on there recently to buy a few more single picks. I noticed that the Medusa isn't on there anymore, and I was gonna pick one up. Do you know what's going on with that? Anyway thanks for showing 🤘🤘

    • @LockNoob

      I think the extra thickness would make the kit a lot less slim. Maybe a couple of think fours of plastidip though? :-)

  • @jacobryan198527

    Better off getting the Ghost pick kit by Peterson. The picks will last way longer. Now all the extra stuff such as comb picks etc it doesnt really matter.

    • @LockNoob
      @LockNoob  Před 5 lety

      If you are in the US, then sure. Peterson make fantastic tools. In the Europe, they are not as useful as they are quite thick pick shank profiles.

    • @jacobryan198527
      @jacobryan198527 Před 5 lety +1

      Lock Noob They have thin picks also made for European locks. Im talking about quality of the picks and how long they last compared to other brands.

    • @LockNoob
      @LockNoob  Před 5 lety

      jacobryan198527 they do last well. I use my Peterson Gem all the time, but even the 0.018 Euro picks are not as thin as other euro brands. It’s not a criticism :-)
