Lock Pick Set, Eventronic 17-Piece Lock Picking Tools with 2 Clear Practice and Training Locks for Lockpicking, Extractor Tool for Beginner and Pro Locksmiths

as a beginner lockpicker i cant say much, as any issue i may have faced could be an issue of my own skill.what i will say is that the build quality of most of the things in this set is good for the price. the cases especially are very nice. the lock visibility shields are also made of rubber and are a small bit fragile, so that is something to keep in mind.i also found the padlock very easy to open with the gold handle double sided rake, though i might have just gotten very lucky with the pin arrangement.

It was a bit of fun to learn, the locks are a good quality while being clear, it let's you see the individual pins while having a range of picks so you can see how different things fit in the locks and affect pins to find the best way to open it. It helped me open some bits at work to change the locks instead of getting a locksmith out, great value

The media could not be loaded. I've always shy'd away from these budget sets and stuck with my Southords & Sparrows. I was curious to see if these cheap pick sets were fit-for-purpose. What a wonderful surprise : the profile of the picks & rakes are really effective (some unusual Bogatas in this set are quicker than my Southords at opening challenging locks.) The tension tools are far too thick & wide but this allowed me to file them down to make some very cheap & effective TOK tools ! The practice padlock is brilliant. People miss the point when they review that it is too easy to open. This lock is designed to help you perfect skills such as finding the binding pin and setting them all in the right order. The manual for this set is high quality (but isn't that helpful !) The entire packaging from box to case is excellent. It is true that the picks could be bent if treated roughly but it should be the tension wrench that's applying the necessary torque ! I've had no problem with these picks & rakes bending with use ! Never thought I'd say this but these picks are fast becoming my 'go-to' set.

i ordered this about a month ago and i am very pleased, the picks feel a bit cheap but are still nice and sturdy, the practice locks are just like a normal lock with the benefit of seeing the pins so you can get a good feel for the single pick and bump pick methods, i have masterd 2 of the 4 locks but thats just me some others might have it easier, if this is a skill you just wanna learn or you just want to get into an old lockbox this is the kit for you, decent quality and worth the price

The media could not be loaded. Have been quite intrigued about lock picking for a while and had even managed to pick a brass padlock at home using paper clips but fancied giving it a "proper" go by getting a pick set.Opted for this one due to the 4 training locks and range of picks included, but waited for the promo price of £19.99.If you've no idea how locks work, I'd say this kit (and many similar ones) with transparent locks are great to gain an understanding. That being said, you can easily gain as much insight via online videos.In picking the locks it is helpful to see the pins lift inside, however the locks themselves aren't great quality and feel you don't get great tactile/audible feedback as you pick them so as a learning tool they feel quite limiting - in only about 3 picking sessions I did manage to learn to pick all 4 locks (repeatedly and consistently).Also, despite the locks being transparent, holding the locks and seeing the pins at the same time can be very difficult, so almost negates the benefit of them being transparent to some extent...The range of picks is nice, though I feel the wave rake and the two single hooks are probably the most useful.Although you get 5 turning tools they are all for bottom of the keyway tensioning (as opposed to top of the keyway) so aren't as versatile as "FIVE TENSION TOOLS" would lead you to think. Also 3 of them are the same.Furthermore regarding the tension tools, they're all a bit too large to practically pick the 4 way lock. I did manage it, but purely because the pinning on this lock actually means you only need to pick two sides, not 4, so you can actually block off either of the other rows of pins and it doesn't cause an issue, if the lock were pinned differently though I don't know how you could tension the lock cylinder and not block access to each of the 4 rows of pins with the tension tools included in this kit...I feel getting a less expensive kit without any practise locks and using the money saved to get a few cheap off the shelf padlocks (or even a cutaway lock such as those by the Dangerfield brand) would make for a better learning experience if you truly want to learn and improve at picking rather than just learning to pick 4 easy low quality plastic locks...

Great quality locks and picks. Very easy to use, some of the "covers" from the locks could be a little bigger to hide more of what's going on.Great value for money to pick up a hobby or just to see how locks work.Within the fist hour I had managed to successfully open one of the locks a few times.The booklet is useful but there are hundreds or youtube tutorials if you need more guidance.

The whole picklocking set is good, definitely nice for training and learning. It's pretty portable with its little casing too. Looks quite nice. But my problem is that the locks get very flimsy after a few uses and the regular padlock was flimsy out the box. Other than that it's an amazing set
