Pros: Always wanted to have such a set, bot it's always more than €15. Very good price here, as usual. They look professional. Don't know how to open locks, but I know it's possible with these things.
Cons: I didn't get the car opening tool. The build quality is not so good, easy to break. Also missing the small tension wrench. The big tension wrench is too big for (I think) 85% of the locks.
Other Thoughts: Good kit to start with.
Bottomline: You can't expect more with that price. Useful, but the picks are easy to break.
Pros: When used properly it could open up locks to which you've lost the keys.
Cons: The small tension wrench broke after one week and the big one is far too thick for most locks.I only managed to open up one simple bike lock. Anything more complex than that just wouldn't work. But maybe that's just because I don't have a lot of experience with lock-picks.The handles are very uncomfortable and after a while my skin became irritated.
Other Thoughts: The build quality is pretty poor and the tension wrenches are pretty much useless since the small one easily breaks and the big one is too thick to fit into almost any lock.
Bottomline: Even though it's fairly cheap I regret buying this product.
Pros: I wanted to try and I got ^ ^Very good for fans who want to test this kind of sport.Even if the metal seems very end it is quite fragile and does what he has to do.The kit comes well secured in the envelope.There are enough rooms to test this we want qe on locks more or less easy.If I got me in a short time it is at ^ for everyone.A very low price given the material it is.
Cons: tension wrench could have been terminated or there would have been able to see more because it takes too much space on a lock and fails to pick the same time when the lock is too small.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Essential for fans of this kind of sport (it really is one!)Just out of curiosity and saw the price it's worth trying.
Pros: 1. Have yet to break a pick.2. Contains several must haves.3. Comfortable handles make learning easier (less blisters).4. I actually like the tension wrench I received, though it is different from the one displayed.5. Good clean fun for the you and the whole family.
Cons: 1. I broke the awesome little double ended tension tool that came with my set (after many hundred successful pickings) in my front door lock.2. Learning with the included tension tool can cause you to mess up with more traditional longer tension tools - forcing you to relearn.3. Picks seem to be plated and the plating wears off, getting all over you and in your locks - not that big of a deal though.4. Some picks will rarely be used and most are just variations on the hook pick.5. There is no automotive pick (not that I could find) - just use the hook or half diamond.
Other Thoughts: If you've ever even thought about picking a lock, do yourself a favor and pick this set up. It is a very rewarding hobby.
Bottomline: Buy it now! Then make your own tension tools out of allen wrenches. I bought a set of 12 from the dollar store and grinded them down with my dremel tool - so now I have a complete collection of short rigid tension tools. Or just buy a tension tool from one of the many websites that sell them.
