Great overview as usual. I'm outside the EU, and local sellers compete to charge as much as possible it seems, so for most of the recommended sets in the video I can usually get the best deals from online store in Germany. Recommended if you're stuck somewhere small. I went with two sets from different manufacturers (SouthOrd and Sparrows), then I'm looking at single picks whenever I'm building up. Possibly a third brand, since that's readily available. I also made and modified tension tools, because the regular kits don't come with ones I find comfy. They keep flying off into a wall!

@CrankyLockPicker Месяц назад

Thanks Locknoob :-) I agree, I have different sets and like picks from them all. I must admit to my favourite being the MONKEY PAW! Loved it from day one! The profile helps me to centre the pick on the pin, especially having bigger hands. I would recommend that to new pickers all day long ⭐️

@georgelangrick7384 Месяц назад

The Monkey Paw is probably my favourite individual pick too. It's a great pick and I really like the wide handle. 👌

@DoctorHogmaster Месяц назад

Nice review! I think the TOOOL picks are made by Southern Specialties, who also made the first Covert Instruments picks before CI started designing their own and went to an alternative manufacturer.

@RolandsDad Месяц назад

I bought the Sparrows Kickstart years ago and began the hobby with serious interest. It would be about a year of picking as a hobby and finding more and more aggressive locks and joining Toool before finally becoming a locksmith myself for a short time. Videos from Bosnianbill got me started, but I'm glad to see Noob is still hanging around! I still use picks from that very set to this day. Don't get too hung up on profiles or brands, just start picking. As your skill grows you will know what you prefer and actually need. A good hook (I prefer Peterson Gems, myself) will give you almost all the legs you need, and a city rake and a wave profile will get you into raking just fine. You can never have enough options for turners, however. Top of the keyway isn't my first choice, but sometimes there is no option. Save on picks, buy locks to pick instead. I have used windshield wiper inserts before, plenty to manufacture my own tools. A friend of mine was so impatient to wait for his picks he made his own out of old sawzall blades. It's just moving pins. Try not to complicate it versus budget. So much of picking is about the challenge of figuring it out yourself.

@LockFumbler Месяц назад

Great overview! I love my Multipick, but also my Moki's. I have not tired a lot of other brand unfortunately though. I just know to stay away from too cheap amazon/chinesium sets, thats what I learned early on since I had one of these Goso sets you also started with iirc. Thanks for creating this 👋

@chriscapune7873 Месяц назад

Nice to see another overview of sets for new lock pickers. Locksport, as a hobby, is growing quickly and it's good to do what we can to steer folks away from junk sets and towards tools that will last them and encourage enjoyment of the sport.

@snowscape Месяц назад

Seconding this- I do think locksport is growing and being future-oriented about welcoming noobs to the hobby is huge for helping it grow!! Lowering barrier to entry raises the bar for high skill in the sport!

I remember my first set of picks and they were my only ones for the longest time. The SouthOrd MPXS-14. It was bottom of the keyway wrenches and I remember using the heck out of my medium hook. This was what I developed my feel for and when I did get other pick sets later on, I was never as good as I was with my first SouthOrd medium hook and I never really got that great with raking, but I loved to SPP with that. The "pouch" it came with though was basically 2 straps of leather sewn together with some cheap stitching and had a snap button on one flap to hold the picks in. The stitching gave up long ago and I did what any good broke young adult would do in that situation. I wrapped the bottom with duct tape to hold it together. The picks eventually made it into one of the pouches I had gotten from a Peterson set, but unfortunately that got lost. I do also have a Sparrows set, but I find the sort of wrapped handle to be a bit weird for me. I kind of suck at picking now since I haven't really done it much in years and I might consider buying a new set in the future where I have some money.

@Out-to-Pastor Месяц назад

I love the video. I would also love to see a video on budget and "worth it" kits. Meaning kits that, while not necessarily cheap, are suitable kits to invest in for intermediate locksporters. I have several kits from Sparrows and would love to branch out, but I'm unsure about other kits. I'm just intermediate level, I would say. I've been playing around for a few years on my locks and have gotten bored of the basic kits. But im not sure what to invest in next for slightly more than beginner kits

@martin64ist Месяц назад

Grt content as always somehow I think it's good for beginners to have a rack in the set nothing gives a confidence boost like a quick open on a rake as for picks how many beginners locks need much more than a short hook but tensioners are the most important to have a large variety I always think tension is such a undersold part of picking if that makes sense still only my thoughts and disagreement is welcome Keep up the videos

@LockPickingLegend Месяц назад

Nice one, Ash.

@feekygucker2678 Месяц назад

Valerian is the only serious set I’ve ever bought or needed to date. I found out after I got it that they could be considered my local manufacturer 🙂.

@Goff725 Месяц назад

For me it's Southord for cheap daily carry picks and Multipick for my home set.

@roysammons2445 Месяц назад

I think you've got a great range of pick sets Lock Noob. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍

@GarmrNL Месяц назад

I started with the exact same kit from Southord in 2011! I still use it regularly :-)

@FFVison Месяц назад

I got one from 2007 and while I have gotten newer sets since, I developed my touch using my Southord. The case was not very good, so I ended up combining the picks from this with another set that I have since misplaced the case. Sad picker is sad. I have contemplated buying either a new beginner set from a different brand I haven't tried with more ergonomic handles or a single hook and maybe some new tensioners.

@GarmrNL Месяц назад

@@FFVison I’ve only bought two sets from Multipick which have slightly beefier handles, but no extra rubber. The quality of those is impeccable and they come in a nice sleeve and I can only recommend those! I’m unable to vouch for other brands, but it sounds like you have a great excuse to buy more goodies 😁

@FFVison Месяц назад

@@GarmrNL lol. Yeah. Just wish that I had a little more money. On a very tight budget now, so I guess I'll have to hold off until a later date

@libertarian1637 Месяц назад

Southord is hard to beat, with the one qualifier that there’s no TOK tools. Southord offers a first responder and military discount as well. Sparrows can be OK but I don’t find their tools to hold up as well as others; though the worm is a must have, in my opinion, but now even Peterson is offering that profile, for not much more or a much nicer handle. I have tried a lot of picks over the years and tend to like Peterson, due to the handle, followed by any of the laminated handle picks, which frankly all are close enough for me. Frankly I haven’t found a single cost effective set that has what I’m looking for as they either don’t include everything I’d like or do and have a lot I don’t want. Frankly I think once you know you’ll enjoy picking try a few then settle in on specifically what you want and get a close enough set and add some extras or just by what you want.

@RolandsDad Месяц назад

Benefit to Sparrows is that they're cheap, so if you dump them or break them, you're fine. I like the thin profile so I can stack several in the spot of one Peterson. Sometimes that stupid half diamond is exactly what the doctor ordered.

@FFVison Месяц назад

I had a Southord kit as my first and developed my feel from it. In addition to the lack of top of keyway tools, the 2 leather strap single stitch snap button case just doesn't hold up. The stitching came out and I ended up duct taping it for years afterwards to keep it together. I bought a Peterson kit and a Sparrows kit to try out a few other types and I never could get a good feel from either really. Unfortunately, my SO picks got mixed into my Peterson case and that got lost some time ago along with my favorite hook.

My only experiences with Chinese picks weren't good. They were inexpensive, but "meh" at best and almost unusable at worst. So I'd love to see a review of the best Chinese pick sets out there.

@TRIIGGAVELLI Месяц назад

The thing I wish I knew when I was first starting was that "sets" are useless. Like an AR build your own. Most picks in these sets are stupid and useless like the city rake and snake rake. 3 hook (in at most .20 ideally .18) profiles and a couple rakes is all you'll need for 99.5% of locks.

@unspeakableoaf Месяц назад

I have plenty of locks that the standard SouthOrd city rake opens in a second, so I wouldn't call them useless. Don't knock it if it works :)

@TRIIGGAVELLI Месяц назад

@@unspeakableoafTry a bogie on the same lock bet it opens just as fast if not faster. Useless.

@LockPickingLegend Месяц назад

The city rake is a classic.
