      I've actually got this set of picks, I bought them because they were very cheap at the time off ebay if I remember correctly.
      I have used them a few times and I must say I've been presently surprised with the quality of them so it's a GOSO A-Go-Go from me ;-)
      Here is an identical set that goes under the brand name of DANIU from Banggood.com for less than a tenner www.banggood.com/DANIU-24pcs-Single-Hook-Lock-Pick-Set-Locksmith-Tools-Lock-Pick-Kit-p-1169200.html?rmmds=myaccout-bottom-alsolike__3&cur_warehouse=UK
      I'm not sure of the quality with these ones, but for someone just starting out at the sport a tenner for a set of picks ain't a bad start.

      @LockNoob  Před 4 lety +9

      Thanks for watching and congrats on making the feedspot list :-) The picks are thick, but sadly, the metal is quite prone to bending and isn't in the same league as Sparrows steel. Still, with care and a more experienced touch, they aren't too bad.

      I have this set. Not my first, I have the MAC tools auto set so had something to compare with. The thickness of the picks put me off immediately which is a shame as they have great handles. I also had to grind the y wrench to fit in any locks I wanted to use it in and the sheer bulk of it meant it fell out regularly. A good starting point perhaps but not my go-to kit...

    Your becoming my favourite fellow British lock picker on CZcams, as an amateur lock picker myself I love the way you discribe the tools! Fun story, a friend has poked fun at me for having such a(in his words) boring hobby for a while now, until he locked himself out of his house a few months ago and after being shocked at the price of a real locksmith, he reluctantly called me and as I opened the,, old rim style yale lock he had using a zip technique with a snake rake,after just two attempts. I couldn't resist having some banter with him by saying,, sorry if me saving you money by getting you back in was too boring for you lol 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    My first set was basically identical to this (also branded GOSO, identical selection of picks, but the handles were green) and it's so much better than people give it credit for, I've seen loads of people saying the steel is terrible and they just bend and snap, but my standard hook stood up to 2 years of abuse before I finally replaced it, and then it had another several months of abuse at the hands of the friend I gave the set to before he replaced it too. Feedback could be a little better, but I can still use them and get a good idea of what's going on inside the lock. For the price you really can't complain, it was dirt cheap and lasted for literal years

      @@pietikke5598 Not quite. The masterlock does at least look, at a glance, very similar to a real lock, which offers more of a security benefit than you might expect. Apart from that, they're about even with the tie-wrap, not beaten by the tie-wrap, and maybe even with a bit of edge on durability vs most common varieties of tie-wrap, so including the looks-like-a-lock factor, the masterlock definitely wins vs the tie-wrap.
      They're still garbage.

      Actually, I think Master locks are fairly expen$ive, given the generally low level of security and pick resistance they offer. Sadly, they're just about the only kind of locks I can find around the shops here in Central Queensland (AU). Even a tiny brass lock is about $10 or more.
      I wish I could find some different kinds of locks without having to fork out too much money. Just have to keep hunting around.

I was more worried about how much force they could endure than anything else, but they held up just fine. I was confused about the stuff in the second half of the kit and googled it. All it said was the tools were for double-sided locks. Thanks to this video, I now know much better their uses. Also, I love that torsion tool too. Just wish one end of it wasn’t as wide so I could use it in smaller locks lol. All of my (non-clear) locks have tiny key ways.

    This is the set I got when I decided to pick up locksport, because the price was right and it had a good variety. Thank you for explaining because it's not easy to find information out there about a double-sided automotive tension wrench or something like that. It's a good kit for someone that isn't sure if they are really going to like locksport because the price is right and it has a good variety so you learn what picks you like and you can do just about any technique with it: you can single-pin pick, you can zip, you can rake, it has nice tools for wafer and pins. The only problem I've had is they bend side-to-side and soon become hard to fit down a keyway if they're subjected to any weight pressing on the kit (happened during a move).

    My dad got me this exact kit a few years back... I thoroughly remember sitting down with the cheap transparent lock it came with and picking it while i waited to take my Knowledge test at my local DMV...
    I eventually put the kit away for about 2 years and here I am now... I found it again after seeing a few of these videos.. and my dad just so happened to accidentally leave a Master Lock No.3 on the dineing room table for no real reason at all...
    So i did what came natural and grabbed my tools and after a quick SPP session i opened the lock... My father peaked his head around the doorway and the next thing I knew I ordered Sparrows Night School kit, and now a few weeks later, just yesterday Ive picked up a few more locks, a giant Carabiner to organise them... And The Revolver from Sparrows is on it's way right now (Along with the Medusa you designed)
    Say what you will about this kit...
    It got me into one of the best hobbys ive ever dove headfirst into!

      @@LockNoob i agree, that Transparent lock is just... Well... Not good...
      But the tools kinda held up... Until i grabbed my Sparrows picks... Then I couldn't simply go back...
      Might as well add that that Revolver i ordered has some ludicrously difficult bidding on it's key and I've been struggling with it for like... Probably in total now about 3 hours just on it's first "Chamber" one day ill get it though!!

    I got this exact kit, but without the brand name Goso. I like it pretty much. The cheap practice lock is too easy to open. Another older lock of mine is a bigger challenge but I managed to open it at least once with the pick set.

  • @lightwalker222
    @lightwalker222 Před 3 lety +2

    I grabbed a set of finger files and went to work on the #8 pick since it has the most material to work with. By flattening it down into a standard short hook, narrowing the profile and slimming it down a bit, I managed to create a fairly serviceable pick. Nothing like my Sparrows or Peterson hooks (steel still sucks knob) but it's now far more useable than anything else in the set.

    I have the same set I bought a long time ago then spent over a year ignoring it and lock picking in general.
    Only my set has no markings on it, and I had no idea what it was.
    I particularly was confused as to what the hell that dimple rake was, and unsure how to use the wafer picks although I knew what they are, and also not knowing the purpose of the Y wrench.
    I didn't really like this set, but now I see it in a different light I think I will try to "thin them down" with sandpaper and make something useful out of that odd dimple rake.

    I don't know why, but that birthday present at the beginning of the video cracks me up. Must have watched that bit a dozen times now. Not sure if it's because it's addressed to 'Lock Noob, love Mum', implying 'Mum' calls her son Lock Noob, or if its because Lock Noob went to the trouble of wrapping it and writing that on it. Whatever it is, it has me in stitches (I'm a simple man with simple tastes!).

    I confirm... The pick you're using at 7'55" (with 2 teeth) works perfectely on a European Citadel lock, and also on many padlocks... You could design pics like that for Multipick (with 1 tooth, 2 or 3 teeth), they don't have that kind of pics in their catalogue , and you're obliged to buy a full Goso kit to find them... ;)
