Limited time 10% off discount code: LockNoob10 I really like what Tallan Pick, Wendt and myself came up with here. Wendt asked what we’d like in a pick set if we were to start again from scratch and together, we built this set from the ground up, re-factoring every single aspect. I genuinely hope you like them too!
@@Zieh-Fix yeah thats right he just does it for the love . Opps i meant to say he does it for the love of money like we all do no one does anything in this world for nothing.
@@mickconnolly5784 hey you can belive what you want. I can just tell you the truth and would have communication with both to verify that under oath in front of a judge if needed. Again we offered multiple ways of compensation. But I can understand your doubt.
@@Zieh-Fix not just me by the way And i don't believe you one little bit not even a pinch use must think we were all born yesterday lol works for love lol
Kudos to Wendt for seeking out two of today's best locksporters and working with them to produce products that the community really wants. As always I'm amazed by the work Ash and Tallan Pick put in to move the whole sport forward. Imagine where we'd be if all companies had this sort of synergy and drive.
We have always worked closly with the "customers", But until now we focused on Firefighters and Locksmiths. So we took this approach when we started to upgrade our Lockpicking Portfolio.
I feel like we are gonna look back on this time as the Golden Age of locksport and you are a leading figure. Future generations of locksporters will erect a giant statue of Lock Noob... but it will only be your hands.
These look great -- I love the choice of different coloured handles. I'm forever scrabbling around in my drawer trying to find a particular tool and the ones with interesting coloured handles are always easier to find than the ones with plain black or metal handles. And thanks for the discount!
Looks like a really decent comprehensive set of picks. You must feel so much satisfaction when you help work on a product and it turns out really well. A good honest rounded review as we have come to expect from you. PS Looks like you changed your wedding ring at sime point. It looks different than I remember.
Yes, my REAL wedding ring is too big and is in safe storage. My replacement ring is in the house somewhere... I'll find it! The rimgi'm wearing is ANOTHER placeholder lol
I don't have any of these yet but one point worth making is that the TOK wrenches seem to be longer than the typical series, which is something I particularly appreciate. The extra few millimetres would give me more options for avoiding hand cramps and awkward tensioning angles.
The most complete and desirable sett I have seen in a long time, probably ever. Love it and got to have it. Keep up your channel, I have listened to them all but you are very good to explain and make people understand so ho to proceed and get better. I will be following your work, big fan from Norway 🇳🇴
I am so glad that I found your channel, love your content, love the reviews. That's a really nice selection of quality picks, I normally don't like handles on my picks. Picked up the monkey claw you mentioned a few vid's back, and yes I'm fine with it, great feedback. I love the interchangeable handles, if I'm picking for hours they certainly would be more comfortable. Thanks again for helping out locksport, I'm so glad I got into it about a year and a half ago, it's so much fun and so relaxing :)
that's the idea we had. Everyone has different preferences. And this way you can order with and without handles or have options for different handles :)
"it has a little bit of flex to it but is pretty hard as well" 🤭 "and that aligns perfectly with the holes there" 🤭. The pick handles and all....got it 😉. "I quite like it when the tip is there and the logo is down" yep yep
Thanks Ash. I don't need any of those right now, but they're certainly worth keeping in mind for the inevitable times when replacement picks are needed. 🙂👍
I really like the design. Its a simple idea that opens up the possibility for a lot of customization. Someone could go as far as to implement their own handle designs if they were so inclined to fabricate some. If you have a 3D printer it would be really easy to do all kinds of things, including designing handles that extend the length of the handle if you wanted. I might pick up a set of these picks. I've been wanting to have a go at anodizing aluminum and making a set of anodized aluminum handles for a set of those picks sounds like a fun project.
Definitly. on the Product page of the handles you can find a image with a drawing including dimensions. Same for the screws. These are there to help people to create custom handles :)
I'm located in Texas, U.S.A. I own several custom picks made by Ratyoke, as well as a mixture of all the standard pick companies. Sparrows, Peterson, Southord, HPC, etc. I prefer the HPC picks for a few reasons. They are made from spring steel, and the thickness is .022. I resort to Sparrows and/or Peterson if I need something thinner. These new Lockmaster picks are the thickness equivalent to Southord picks, in which the standard thickness is .023. So these Lockmaster picks are .023, actually a tad thicker, not quite .024 but close. I've learned that even paracentric keyways can be navigated sometimes with picks this size, or even .025, if it's deeper than a standard hook. A deeper hook can fit into the chambers in the warding we can't see. 18 to 22 are my favorites. I've never ordered anything from the U.K. And I typically get lost and frustrated trying to navigate pages where I have to covert pounds to dollars, but this might be worth it. I've seen some hooks, and a rake I'd like to try. QUESTION: Are these picks made from spring steel? I like that they are made in Germany! Finally, I'd like to say that I've learned a great deal by watching Lock Noob's videos. I've been into Lock Sport for only 4 years now, I think. Thanks!
All Pick are made from High Quality Stainless Spring Steel. 0.5mm Picks will be released at one Point but currently we are focusing on finishing some more stuff in Order to get a better range avaible.also We had a bad batch of 0.5mm Material.
@@Zieh-Fix I have a very good selection of 0.6mm & 0.4mm picks already but I will definitely pick some of these up to test out if you make 0.5mm versions.
Looks like a very complete and well thought out set of picks. Nice crisp profiles with attention to the full “point” on the tips. Now I can justify the shipping cost of a lock master card and add it to an order!!!
When you want to wait until the end of the month you might even be able to add 0.5mm Picks. We are just cutting some prototypes before sending all for a last check to Lock Noob & Tallan Pick. 👍
@@Zieh-Fix AWESOME!!! I will patently wait if you are expanding the product line, and I have nothing better to do, sitting in New Orleans practicing my picking, if you need testers, LOL!
@@dustyknuckles199 I think with our Team, Partners Like Oliver Diederichsen and some other SSDEV Members and Tallan & Lock Noob we should have a good team of Testers. But I will keep it in mind :)
@@Zieh-Fix LOL, I understand and was making light of the current situation here in New Orleans, having "plenty of spare time to practice" after the destruction caused by Hurricane Ida
As a customer In Australian the six pound to buy would cost us at the moment $11.30 each pick then postage on top.That makes them very exspensive for us especially for something thats out their in the market in abundance already they cant reinvent the wheel. nice But.
@@djfunkychicken just realised both of you did a common mistake. the big Price is including german VAT. Something you will not need to pay when you order from Australia. So including handle 5,88€ so currently 9,49 AUD. Without a handle it's about 5,29 AUD. So if you break a pick etc you safe on the second order.
@@Zieh-Fixhey guys i just looked again £5.88 epuels $11.07 and then another $20 to 40 dollars on top for postage way to exspensive for customers here if i Bought or if i buy 1 PICK just one it would cost me the best part of $40 each buy the time i get it.. ITS crazy anything in pound is always double the price here and the postage is another killer puts a lot of customers off straight away all in pounds to 20 pound is 40 dollars for us what ever the price we all have to double it.its just not affordable this side of the world to exspensive for us everything is double price for us enen just now currency exchange rate 1 DOLLAR AUSTRALIAN EQUALS $1.88 or $1.90 English pound always double the price what ever we see its just not feasible for us here
@@mickconnolly5784 our website charges in € not in £. We currently only offer shipping methods including insurance and tracking but we are searching for new reliable methods again.
Hi Lock Noob, I think I love everything about these picks, I've always been a fan of another pick maker's plastic handles, and now we have a choice - with or without. Not so keen on dipped handles, as they are too narrow (for me). I noticed you included one of your very favourite profiles - another name for a precious stone - mine too. Flat top hooks, always great for placement! I like the 23 thou. thickness as well, a very good compromise. I feel a less severe triple peak would be handy as well. All in all, a great well thought out set of profiles. Regards, Brian.
Far from my favourite picks but the one thing that pickology picks are an unusual length which is good== sure you have mentioned this==== perhaps make extended handles in the plastic pop ons
we thought about even longer handles. But that would mean that you can't put them in most cases from other manufactruers. We were able to increate the handle to 83mm from the typical below 80mm picks handles. The Idea behind this pick is that we also want to allow mix and match with other manufacturers. But yeah maybe we can add some longer handles. we thought about that already problem might become the few different pick thickneses it would need to support.
I just watched the Wendt video and checkout the site. I have ordered from Wendt before and they were working on a more cost effective shipping to Canada, but not sure if they got it sorted out. Also I hope they put together a few kits rather than all individual.
Yeah Canada I have to check with DHL, we have a very good special price for USA but canada is a lot higher. I will get in touch with our Representive next week.
I find 0.6mm a bit thick. I like the wide range or hooks. I use mostly hooks. There seems to be no sets available for a cheaper price. I think that could be a good idea because initially you need sets to test them. i use mostly thinner ones like 0.015 or 0.018 or similar. Those need a lot for a material. My to go set would include hooks and a tripple peak. 99% of my use is with those. For larger sets forrested ball/diamond, diamomonds and some other rake (in that order). I often get large sets to try out what I like but in the end small hook, medium hook and something similar to peterson gem get used the most. (and the rare use of tripple/quad peak or similar)
I've heard they are planning to do a thinner set too. Ill defiantly be buying a set of hooks with handles when they do. They're great quality and I love the customisation options
I hardly ever use picks lower than 0.023 apart from my Peterson Gem (0.018). I prefer the firmer feedback but I do also appreciate those thinner picks for when a thicker pick won’t do
0.5mm Picks are planned and some already produced. But with a bad Batch of Material we focused on 0.6mm for now. We will bring out sets yet we plan hugely around customization for Locksportler.
@@LockNoob I just made another long post before I saw this. Like you, I keep a Peterson Gem in .018, and another in .015. Same with H1 Hooks from Peterson. But I mostly use HPC spring steel picks in .022, and a few Sparrows in .015. Since Southord picks are .023, I have an idea of what to expect here, IF I'm able to order some, sent to Texas.
Something different(ish)... I like the way you can colour code your most used to least used for example. I see 14 of the 22 picks that will be well used.
@@drevil2783 base screws 2.1mm in chrome finish are included. always a set of 2 male/female. Everything else wouldn't be right. You just need to buy screws should you want brass or longer screws for custom handles.
@@Zieh-Fix apologies. I spent some time on your website and found out everything i needed. As a matter of fact i placed an order already. I did not pick the purple/pink color though. That is a feminine colour. 😆
thanks we hope some resellers are interested in picking our lockpicking tools up. we Have quite a few resellers for the locksmith market but not for the lockpicking market yet.
@@aldocoin if we would have someone in the US stocking these products we would let you know via social media 👌 Until then you can only ask your favorite shop to get in contact with us in order to resell our products
@@HingerlAlois We always try to have the tools ready for sale when we start advertising. We understand the concept of Preordering but belive that it's always better when a finished product could be ordered directly.
Depends on the Tool. You can get a Patent if it's something technical new. So this wasn't really possible as it's only a new screw dimension that needed to be created. In europe you can also go with an design protection. We haven't done it here as the design is very simple and because we want to encurage other Pickmakers to create own handles. But we do both for other tools from time to time.
I didn't even know there's another German lockpick vendor besides Multipick. The picks (and the faux leather cases) are significantly cheaper, but shipping fees are significantly higher and I don't see why. They only offer DHL who are known for losing a high fraction of their shipments. To make it even worse, shipping fees within the EU increase for orders above 500 €, whereas Multipick ships to Austria for free for orders above 175 €. Penalizing customers for buying more is not the most effective way to boost sales.
Hey we just changed our system. we currently charge more for higher weights but yes we need to intoduce new shiping methods and free of charge shipping. Problem is we tested different methods of shipping already and to all countries dhl express and then dhl international premium had the least lost packages out of 1000 parcels send. in fact dhl express had only one parcel lost until now in 10+ years. In fact in Germany and most of west europe DHL is known for least lost shipments. But it alsways depends on the country you live in.
BTW. the main Problem we have is that we have a lot of Locksmith Tools we earn only a fraction on. so sending these free of charge would allow compititors to bankrubt us. but we are already working on a solution for the lockpicking market. ;)
