@@adg6280 I'd also love to see a "these are my absolute favorite, immediate go to" list, but locklab has a list of types of picks you "should" have in order to practice and I ordered the lot from Peterson under $100 last week.
Thank you for this review. I purchased a couple of weeks ago, it arrived last night, and I picked my first padlock tonight. Took me two nights and probably an hour total after 3 or 4 tires....kinda frustrated I could feel the cylinder move a bit and click back when my hand got tired. But when that Master 141t turned open just now...it's like I accomplished something. I *think* I learned a little bit about feel of clicks, core movement, binding pins, and how each tool in the set has a different touch. Thanks LPL, I can see myself with another hobby.
I bought a cheap combination lock and tried to decode it. I have yet to do it. Oh well. One thing I have learned from Bosian Bill and LPL is that picking locks is a skill set that you improve over time. I tell myself that.
Even cheaper now! m.banggood.com/DANIU-12Pcs-High-Quality-Lock-Picks-Tools-Set-Lock-Opener-Locksmith-Tools-p-1139437.html?gmcCountry=US¤cy=USD&cur_warehouse=CN&createTmp=1&ad_id=443948744865&gclid=CjwKCAiA1eKBBhBZEiwAX3gql6MLD6tuAzM1LLRFuJqlL_32e4hFMnWlo6LO9pGLqWKsJflEHQgcGRoC1cAQAvD_BwE
Bought this before watching your video, and I use that massive hook as a warded pick. I opened two different warded locks with it, works really well. I’m sad my case doesn’t say “Honest” on it!
This should be an awesome starter set for me. I've been thinking about learning lockpicking as a hobby since watching your videos, and this should be a great starting point for me.
WARNING. I bought this kit (december 2020) and it's not the same anymore ! Picks are about 25% SMALLER, yes smaller then the old kit (in all dimensions, width, thickness and length). Tension wrenches are only 2 and one is paper thin and useless. I do own the old kit and was able to measure them side by side. New kit is useful only for picking small 60mm and smaller padlocks. Just a heads up for you ppl. Hope @LockPickingLawyer updates his review and passes the warning on.
Picked this kit up to start learning lock picking, thank you for this video! Now I just need to get myself some more locks aside from the packaged one to practice and learn with.
Thanks LPL. I was putting together an order for Sparrows as a gift to a friend who is interested in picking and of course a few things for me. It was getting a little expensive, but this set looks like a good value. I'm ordering one for him and one for myself. I'll have enough money left over for a tubular lock picking set as well. If not for your endorsement I would have assumed these to be junk like most of the other cheap Chinese pick sets. Thank you for this review, and thanks for the HUK tubular pick set review. What a value that one offers. I've been on Peterson's waiting list for several months and I cringe to think how much I will spend on that one whenever they finally make more.
Awesome! Glad it was helpful. I'm eventually giving this set away, but I'm also going to pick up a set or two for myself... do some longer term testing!
It's kind of funny, I saw this set for the first time today, and you were the first person I thought of. Like you, I'm a single pin picker at heart and when I saw these I immediately got a big grin. When I ran the kit up on TH-cam for validation, I chuckled when I found this review. I'm placing my order for them as soon as I finish this comment. As always, thanks for all you do to keep us all informed ... you do it the best!! Cheers Mate!!
I bought these picks over a year ago and they have been great to me. Still look new. I work as a maintenance guy for a living and people lose keys to padlocks or lock their keys in cabinets all the time. I practiced a lot on old padlocks until I got a feel for what I was doing inside the lock. I still suck, but even then I can usually get the lock open within 30 seconds to 5 minutes. If I can’t get it open after 5 minutes I try spraying WD-40 in the lock to loosen up the pins so I can feel them clicking better. I’ve never not been able to open a lock using this pick set.
Just bought this a couple weeks ago. Got it in a flash sale for 12 bucks. Picked up some extra turning tools, some clear training locks, along with another pick set that seems to compliment this one with a good assortment of rakes and such. About 60 pieces in all. Can't want to get them. The site says they should be here on my birthday. :D
I have these, but mine didn't come with the acrylic lock. Of all the chinese cheap picks I have tried, I like these the best. So much so I bought three one for each car and one as a general back up. I guess a true statement of usability would be if we end up seeing these used through out you lock picking videos.
+Jess Hull Thanks for sharing your experience with them. This set I will eventually give away (as I do will all stuff I get for free), but for the price, I'm probably going to pick up a set or two for myself.
Quality seems to have declined since this review. I just received a set in the mail. The solder (or welds) that hold the pick to the handle are very sloppy and sharp. welds were partly missing on a couple of picks so that the picks folded at the attachment point the first time I used them. The picks themselves appear to have been cut using tools with serrated blades. so the top and bottom edges of the picks are also serrated, making it very hard to feel anything inside the lock. It may be possible to file off these rough edges, but the light sanding that was sufficient for LPL would not come close to cleaning up the set I received. I sent photos of the bent picks to banggood, who offered my $5 back. lol. RE: the included training lock. I used crazy glue instead of clear epoxy to fill the fake bolt holes. This caused them to turn white, instead of turning them clear as they did for LPL. My mistake.
Got my set today and it feels very good maybe on the thick side about 0.68mm or 0.027" but that can be corrected and the steel feels strong. The finish was acceptable and handle smooth over all nice finish so I think I got a good set for my money and the handle covers fits on my Praxis pick set which are a bit sharp on the edges. Good price even without the discount.
I wish you did yearly review of at least one cheap lock pick set that you consider worth the money. This set seems to have been very good for the price but it's no longer available. Maybe something like "A good initial set for year 2021" which includes a selection of cheap picks (a cheap set like this or a couple of individual picks) and a lock or two suitable as training locks instead of those acrylic locks.
@LockPickingLawyer I would really love to see an update to this, more to the point for your suggestions on a good quality (reasonable priced) beginning lock pick set (out of all companies). ALSO a "preppers" lock pick set suggestions would be great to see also. These may fall into the same sets, not sure. I have some locks right now that I can't open, including one on the door of an old rv on our property, because the keys are gone. watched your channel for sometime now, always found it interesting. So now I'm thinking about taking up the hobby. Thanks for all your informative and entertaining videos!
way easier than going all pyro on this and potentially warping/discoloring it you can just hit it with some gloss coat like nail polish/varnish or most preferably an acrylic gloss coat from an art/hobby store and bet set for life on it
I bought this same set on Amazon several years ago. It is one of the toughest sets that I have used so far, but several of the hook profiles don't make any sense. That being said, I have picked locks with every one of them.
This kit now has 40-something % discount on BG. I just bought one so 9 pcs. left.... I hope the quality of my set is comparable to LPL's... Will share my experience here...
+Potti314 I did forget to mention it. I measured mine at .0255", but I should note that BosnianBill had a .028" set... so there may be some variation (though my set was pretty consistent. I'd say that they would be .025" or less after polishing.
LockPickingLawyer Thanks for responding to his question. I was just wondering the same thing. Great review ! I’m ordering and don’t even need it. But hard to pass up at that price. Any idea on how long the delivery time is ?
@@galdavonalgerri2101 Yes, all proper nouns in English are capitalized. :) Mr. Dova's critique of your question, if you're curious, is because in English the verb "To Miss" is a transitive verb, which means an object is required immediately after the verb. What you needed was an intransitive verb, which in this case would have been fail, as in "you failed to tell us...". That's really only something a native speaker would pick up on. Hope that helps!
tell u what but I started about a year ago picking BC I had two sergerys on my shoulder so I had a lot of down time and I'm a prity actve person with work and all so I ordered a cheap ass set and bosionbill got me started and IV recently found u and I'm very impressed with u and ur reviews specaly for guys like me that don't want to put a lot of money into this at one time in ur cheaper reviews I'm arety looking at this set to get BC like u I'm a hook person the only rakes I like are the triple bogata and a rocking pick I have I don't know the name off and this has many different hokes I like thank u man keep up the good work and whish I could get into ur giveaways never had much luck in that stuff tho lol
LPL, you forgot to show us the thickness of the picks. I bought the set. They are around .31 thousands. Too thick for me, although they are well built. But simply too thick for so many of the keyways encountered here in the U.S.
I've watched a lot of LPL videos, I've been watching since 2017. it's very odd that I found this video through a banggood listing and not the other way round.
So, are there any current lock pick setsthat you recommend? I see this one was reviewed a couple of years ago. Love all that you do! My husband follows your videos and enjoys what you do and since he is into security with his position, what he sees with you, is even more interesting. Thank you for any and all tips.
I'd be happy to get this as a gift but as a hobbyist/dabbler I tend to try picking w/ random things or when I walk around town I always find spring steel pieces from the street cleaning machine (it's almost like a flat bike spoke) and I'll make picks... I'd like to say it's cause I'm frugal but it's more like I don't have the funds since my son was born, It's always a question of Do I get him a new toy or do I get one for myself¿? In the end, he always wins¡! LoL Seems I'm a little late for the discount so I'll just say, Thank you for the informative video and keep up the good work¡!
LockPickingLawyer I enjoy the vids posted by two lock pickers. BosnianBill is one and you are the second. I've come to rely heavily on the advice and recomendations of the two of you. Please keep posting and thank you!
Took a look at my best padlock I've ever owned today and thought NO I will never try to pick something like that. It's one of those with spinning discs like an old classic Abloy and I assume that lockpicks like these wont cut it here. It's a Swedish Anchor Lås (Lås means lock in Swedish) 800-3 Hardened.
Can you please do a newer review of a lockpick kit, since theese links dont work anymore either, I can't find a proper kit, that I know is good, and worth the money.
The BangGood sent to me from Hong Kong to Canada internally damaged piano. Do you know why they do it? I would buy the same from any mainland seller without any damage or signs of abuse.
Great review, I saw those awhile ago didn't know if they were any good and thanks to your input I made the choice purchase a set. My question is... Where can I find some of the tension tools in the set separately?
i know nothing about lock picking but I'm intrigued and just want to learn how it all works. ill probably get me a one time purchase sparrow set, any suggestions on what set you would recommend? thanks.
+Emmanuel Mata I'm not familiar with their sets, but to start with, you don't need a big set. Develop your skills with a small set of a couple hooks and rakes, then make your decisions about expanding your tool set once you understand picking and can make an informed decision about what works for you.
Dear LPL. Long time viewer first time commenter. After many years of enjoying your videos I decided to try my hand with this budget set. You mention that some improved turning tools are required, but I can't find much info on where to get or how to make usable/good ones. Looking at some of you videos, especially the picking tension video, and the colab with TKOR, its looking to me like good turning tools might make a significant improvement to my learning experience. I'm very handy with metal fab etc etc. What would you recommend for a reasonably price purchase or DIY option? I couldn't find much on your channel or others. I have many ideas, but keen to see recommendations from some of the top pickers. Perhaps there are good product reviews and diy tutorials out there but I'm not searching the right terms. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
p.s. youtube is doing strange things on your channel page. I can only scroll back 3 months, then it loads the latest video and starts looping infinity through the last 3 months of videos. I was able to search your channel for tension tool, and got some related content, but its possible I'm not seeing what I'm looking for... Kind Regards from Australia.
I have this set from Christmas one year! Wish it had a top of keyway tension but meh. They are also the thickest picks ive seen and are hard to get through some keyways.
Hi LPL: I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now, and I want to start getting into lock picking. Do you have a list (with links) of some good tools to start out with, preferable without breaking the bank? Also, are there any common physical stores I can purchase lock-picking/locksport equipment from? Thanks.
they make it quite differently now in terms of quality. still a whole lot better than most inexpensive pick sets out there but certainly not the same as the quality of the picks in this vid
didn't hear... might of missed it. what was the blade thickness ? ps; as you do great reviews & videos... I do want to give advice to the holes in acrylic lock (sense you know how to refinish) use hacksaw & file to reshape it.
+In 2 DODO Depends on the lock and pick profile. My most used pick in euros is the .025" Sparrows SSDev short hook (and there is a similar pick in this set).
Nice that quality and prices are desirable. However, I'm reluctant to buy things like this from China as I can't know what I'm subsidizing. Prices that low suggest something is missing in a production process, and I don't trust it.
Thought I would give it a try well it worked out £14 in uk so kinda had to have to buy lol New Years present to my self were see if it's worthy for the lock lab lol
LockPickingLawyer you never know if your getting good or bad picks be nice to have a place we could walk around trying them I would love to put together a lockpick show in the uk so we can all tryout what's on the market ,
How do you decide which pick to use, with ten variations of hook? I'm a beginner, I started out with one of the cheapie lockpick sets from Amazon, and have now upgraded to a handful of Peterson picks and home-made ones - but I can still only open most of the Masters, half of the others, and none of the American locks.
@LockPickingLawyer im really enjoying your vids, i feel like this could be a nice hobby to try out, can you suggest to me the tool kits and accessories i should buy to be able to start digging into trying out picking. Not worried about price, just want to have tools for your normal type of quicksets and master lock type padlocks. Then i can move up. Tyia, keep up the good vids
Hi LPL, I have been a watcher of your videos for some time and have ordered this kit on your recommendation. Any advise on other pick sets or training aids for beginners to locksport? Thank you in advance.

These type of tools pay for themselves in no time (at least for some people)!
one of the best tip i got from the best Lawyer is about the acrylic. aside from the lockpicking...
Quality seems to have declined since this review.

Aw crap I just bought them, hopefully the quality is the same if I sand them
Are you sure it's the same set?
$5 seems a bit low for this amount of picks, even cheap ones.
Got my set today and it feels very good maybe on the thick side about 0.68mm or 0.027" but that can be corrected and the steel feels strong. The finish was acceptable and handle smooth over all nice finish so I think I got a good set for my money and the handle covers fits on my Praxis pick set which are a bit sharp on the edges.

I'd like to say it's cause I'm frugal but it's more like I don't have the funds since my son was born, It's always a question of Do I get him a new toy or do I get one for myself¿? In the end, he always wins¡! LoL Seems I'm a little late for the discount so I'll just say, Thank you for the informative video and keep up the good work¡!
I know this is late but a dip in acetone is another way to turn acrylic crystal clear again
Just ordered this set 8 June 2021. The link no longer works, but a quick search on the site should find them.
hi Thanks!
Working now,they do not allow order due to no stock!!Tried to pay and wait for backorder but no luck
Thanks again
Fiore
Sorry to hear that...
Why would you apologise for the condition of your own equipment? As if it matters.
That's the set I got, they sell it on amazon. They really are quite nice.
I have begun making my own Picks from Junior and regular Hack saw blades, seem to be working well thus far but i am a noob.
Good looking pick set. Looks handy. The proof is in the pudding.
+Charles McKinney it is!
LockPickingLawyer I enjoy the vids posted by two lock pickers. BosnianBill is one and you are the second. I've come to rely heavily on the advice and recomendations of the two of you. Please keep posting and thank you!
This kit is currently selling at £8.96 in the UK (with free priority shipping) Promotion Sale From June 7 to June 14. Seems like a no-brainer.
Have you ever done a video explaining the different shapes of picks and how the different picks are used
Took a look at my best padlock I've ever owned today and thought NO I will never try to pick something like that. It's one of those with spinning discs like an old classic Abloy and I assume that lockpicks like these wont cut it here. It's a Swedish Anchor Lås (Lås means lock in Swedish) 800-3 Hardened.
maybe not a lockpick but a 12 gauge would I think
Np
Rule #2 for lock picking... (my personal rules)
Never pick a lock you rely on¡!
👍👍👍😷🍺🔑🔐🔒🔓 I rotate all my pick sets to prolong life But I have this set still going strong without problems
Can you please do a newer review of a lockpick kit, since theese links dont work anymore either, I can't find a proper kit, that I know is good, and worth the money.
The BangGood sent to me from Hong Kong to Canada internally damaged piano. Do you know why they do it?
I would buy the same from any mainland seller without any damage or signs of abuse.
Great review, I saw those awhile ago didn't know if they were any good and thanks to your input I made the choice purchase a set. My question is... Where can I find some of the tension tools in the set separately?
Very Nice, definitly an upgrade from my windshield wiper picks...
i know nothing about lock picking but I'm intrigued and just want to learn how it all works. ill probably get me a one time purchase sparrow set, any suggestions on what set you would recommend? thanks.
+Emmanuel Mata I'm not familiar with their sets, but to start with, you don't need a big set. Develop your skills with a small set of a couple hooks and rakes, then make your decisions about expanding your tool set once you understand picking and can make an informed decision about what works for you.
Dear LPL.
Long time viewer first time commenter.
After many years of enjoying your videos I decided to try my hand with this budget set.
You mention that some improved turning tools are required, but I can't find much info on where to get or how to make usable/good ones. Looking at some of you videos, especially the picking tension video, and the colab with TKOR, its looking to me like good turning tools might make a significant improvement to my learning experience.
I'm very handy with metal fab etc etc. What would you recommend for a reasonably price purchase or DIY option? I couldn't find much on your channel or others. I have many ideas, but keen to see recommendations from some of the top pickers.
Perhaps there are good product reviews and diy tutorials out there but I'm not searching the right terms.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
p.s. youtube is doing strange things on your channel page. I can only scroll back 3 months, then it loads the latest video and starts looping infinity through the last 3 months of videos. I was able to search your channel for tension tool, and got some related content, but its possible I'm not seeing what I'm looking for...
Kind Regards from Australia.
I have this set from Christmas one year! Wish it had a top of keyway tension but meh. They are also the thickest picks ive seen and are hard to get through some keyways.
I got this set without the clear lock. i paid just over $13 for the set( I bought 2 sets). this set is great but it does NOT have a city rake.
Hi LPL:
I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now, and I want to start getting into lock picking. Do you have a list (with links) of some good tools to start out with, preferable without breaking the bank? Also, are there any common physical stores I can purchase lock-picking/locksport equipment from?
Thanks.
i feel like asking on a more recent video wouldve been better mate
I got this kit off Amazon a few years ago
they make it quite differently now in terms of quality. still a whole lot better than most inexpensive pick sets out there but certainly not the same as the quality of the picks in this vid
.....DAMNIT I just bought this set like 4 hours ago....
We need to talk about your purchases from this... "Bang Good" website...
??
@@jrjr.2820 sex joke
please tell me the most comprehensive quality set to buy as my initial purchase that can ultimately be added too as I learn and grow?
didn't hear...
might of missed it.
what was the blade thickness ?
ps; as you do great reviews & videos... I do want to give advice to the holes in acrylic lock
(sense you know how to refinish)
use hacksaw & file to reshape it.
+Torch of K.C.K. I measured mine at .0255". I see from BosnianBills video that his were .028"... I'd say .025" max after polishing before use.
LockPickingLawyer ,
sweet, thanks

BangGood sell some quite amazingly good stuff and 99.9% of the time if it says it's brand XXX it actually is.
When I got my law lock tools set i think I have every hook made or close to it!
Great idea with the glue!
I just pick my first lock. Thank You.
I just waiting for a cheap set just to see if I have sensitivity in my hands to take it up as either a hobby or job
Almost 1mil
0.025-0.028" maybe not the best choice for euro profile...?
+In 2 DODO Depends on the lock and pick profile. My most used pick in euros is the .025" Sparrows SSDev short hook (and there is a similar pick in this set).
Get a rare earth magnet and now you can test whether or not if it's aluminum or steel.
As of today: 01/10/21, it's no longer available... clear acrylic lock is gone too.
It's there, just the product page has moved.
Nice that quality and prices are desirable. However, I'm reluctant to buy things like this from China as I can't know what I'm subsidizing. Prices that low suggest something is missing in a production process, and I don't trust it.
+wetracy Perhaps... I can't speak to production, only to the product.
@thelockpickinglawyer can you upload a new link
I have a question, how do you know what pick for which lock? For example the Lishi style?
Nice useful information. Thank you
Thought I would give it a try well it worked out £14 in uk so kinda had to have to buy lol New Years present to my self were see if it's worthy for the lock lab lol
+John Dickenson Good luck with them!
LockPickingLawyer you never know if your getting good or bad picks be nice to have a place we could walk around trying them I would love to put together a lockpick show in the uk so we can all tryout what's on the market ,
FYI As of October 2021, this set is $31.99. Still not a bad deal, but the price is up quite a lot from the date of this video.
I just bought this exact set fot ZAR 205 or 15USD. Hope it last a while untill i can buy a Multipick set
I'm assuming ZAR 205 excludes delivery charges (about ZAR 150)? I see it now for ZAR 257.93 to RSA
Wow great review, but I already bought the other set you've reviewed.
is there anywhere this set is still listed
11:18 if we have questions or comments I don't think we'd put in the description below...
I'd like to know which picks to use and when
every time I try one of these the link is broken, but I found it and they have your video on the page.
The discount codes are from a few years ago so no good.
It's easy enough to look up on the website.
Wait.... "Highly Recommend?" Holy cow guys that's a great pick set lol
I like them there not bad very good description do they sell them on amozen thanks stiglocks..r
+STIG..LOCKS..R I've not run across them on amazon, but I can pretty much guarantee that they will not have this price!
How do you decide which pick to use, with ten variations of hook? I'm a beginner, I started out with one of the cheapie lockpick sets from Amazon, and have now upgraded to a handful of Peterson picks and home-made ones - but I can still only open most of the Masters, half of the others, and none of the American locks.

@LockPickingLawyer im really enjoying your vids, i feel like this could be a nice hobby to try out, can you suggest to me the tool kits and accessories i should buy to be able to start digging into trying out picking. Not worried about price, just want to have tools for your normal type of quicksets and master lock type padlocks. Then i can move up. Tyia, keep up the good vids
Great kit.but can't find this kit anywhere?
"The case is marked "Honest"" Interesting, that's a name brand of Chinese lighters that are pretty good.
lol, I had one of their lighter torch, still works just fine after 10 years, but the refill hole start to leak a little bit.😂
Thanks for the reviews.saves us from buying carp.
+Sena and sons auto Happy to!
Bro thats a good ass fish tho I'd love me some
Carp are ok for a pond but not my favorite eatin.
Would you suggest to get a tension wrench set off banggood?
I bought this waiting on it to arrive thanks for the review
Well the price on these has gone up in the last years. Currently listed at 41.81$ CAD..
that could be the exchange rate fluctuating.
On the Banggood app, without the clear lock it’s like $20 usd
Hi LPL, I have been a watcher of your videos for some time and have ordered this kit on your recommendation. Any advise on other pick sets or training aids for beginners to locksport? Thank you in advance.
What is that metal thing at the end of the lock?
Before January 24th of what year? UTube doesn't show date produced any more. Ron W4BIN
