Personally, the snowman is my favourite pick/rake. im not calling it a rake because i find it very usefull in single pin picking too! go ahead and call me weird but its actually effective
Locksport is a great hobby, and although that "pick" set is almost complete rubbish, the review was spot on! My word, those shafts get in their own way. I seriously doubt that key extractor would function at all with that profile. The set appears to be a very poor copy of a poor copy of a cheap set. Not inexpensive, cheap! A properly made wire style tension wrench can be nice, especially if the flattened end tapers a small amount. It can help it fit snugly, especially for security pins. A certain amount of flex in the other tools might help keep tension on the aforementioned security pins if the fit isn't snug. Maybe. The locksport community is known for gifting items to beginners and friends, but this set would be a last resort gift, and possibly with profuse apologies! Thanks for the entertainment! The Sparrows Mace pick sets opened a lot of locks for me when I was starting out, and they are much easier to EDC in a pinch.
I have this set and an CI Echelon, Genesis, Sparrow and southord. Funny thing. I have beter luck with the cheap Amazon set. I've picked a master D3, M5, brinks and a master 570 with them. Weird huh. Mine was $20.99
The best picks are from people like JL who makes them in small batches and all the hacker world are after them (why it's always sold out). Other notable people I could name but won't. The companies you named are mass-produced in a factory and not the best.
@@Tib3riusoop just found the one you recommended lol. that's inside my budget yea! thank you so much please make more lockpicking content! i'd appreciate that :D take care
@mushroomgirl7444 Awesome! Glad I could help. By the way, if you want an easy lock to practice on, I always recommend the Master Lock 141D padlock: www.amazon.com/Master-Lock-Padlock-Aluminum-141DLF/dp/B000EUHCHU/ It's a great starter lock because it has a nice wide keyway, 4 non-security pins, and it's fully metal. You can rake it open using one of the rake picks included in the Genesis Set, or single pin pick it using one of the hook picks.
I always recommend the Covert Instruments Genesis Set, it's high quality and comes with all the picks you're gonna need if you're just starting out. covertinstruments.com/collections/best-selling/products/genesis-lock-pick
@3:35 LOL imagine not knowing what a CC lockpick set looks like but creating a video about lockpicking... LOL. I had one of those CC sets back in 2005 or earlier. Guess I should make videos as I have experience
Maybe watch the entire video before making a rude comment. I never said I didn't know what it was, I said I didn't know what the point of it was, because the picks are so small they are practically useless. A fold-able set would be more useful if you want something for your wallet.
@3:43 Turning tools? Do you mean tension wrenches? LOL. This video is like watching the average Reddit commenter making videos. I'm laughing and enjoying myself too much lol
Now you're just trolling. Both terms can be used, and many lockpick manufacturers use "turning tool": covertinstruments.com/collections/lockpicks/products/complete-turning-tool-bundle www.thinkpeterson.com/turning-tools/ www.art-of-lockpicking.com/shop/tension-tools/
