Awesome review Bill thanks for taking the time to go over our new kit. Just a heads up on the rakes. Their actually not duplicates but they are very similar. Taken from Christina Palmers awesome designs they are in fact the quad ( 4 peaks) Cycloid and quad sinusoidal. They the Quint ( 5 peaks) Cycloid and Quint sinusoidal. The sinusoidal waves have an even sine type wave to them but the Cycloid peaks are more aggressive. It’s a very subtle difference but you can really feel it in the locks. Thanks again mate much appreciated 👍🏻
Excellent set hoping to have this set soon..👍👍👍👍🔑🔐🔒🔓🍺
This set is worth the money. I will buy one as soon as I can.
Hi I have the set not this one that I won from DAZ EVERS and will say it has improved my skill level the very first week I absolutely love them best pick set I own ..looking forward to add some of the new ones to my set can we purchase them individually??????.😎
Came here to say that, lol. Got the Polaris kit and it has a few that are the same. Side note, I got your Increment pro set for xmas this last year and it's my favorite thing ever. You have an incredible talent and I really appreciate it.
Mike Dunham thanks mate that’s great feedback. The rakes are slightly different and I’ve added a closeup picture on the website for the echo wave rakes. These are the 5 peak or Quint versions 👍🏻
You're pronunciation of my name was spot on Bill 👍 The only thing I'd like to point out is I'm from New Zealand not Australia. Not that I have anything against Australia, apart from the fact they give us a hiding in the Cricket every time we play them ☺
Tipene Nga Puhi it’s revenge for our constant arse kicking in the union
we may win the cricket now and then, but you have the all concurring All Black's i think that means you win ..
kia ora "ti pe ne" . bill probably dont know what cricket is, they play american football and ice hockey as you know lol ... no disrespect bill... great watching bill. i know your maori cuz . kia kaha ...
@@vernonbeach2950
Kia Kaha to you as well Vernon
Thanks, brother! Living more than half my life overseas didn't adequately prepare me for that kind of pronunciation gymnastics...😀 Sorry about forgetting you're from NZ... IOU at LEAST one beer when I visit NZ, which is on my bucket list of things to do before I die.
I have many courses in many different subjects ranging from legal studies to psychology and sociology, been watching for a year and a half. Want to pick up the skill, but my current situation has it so I can not afford any decent pick kits. Inherited a debt. Made my tension wench out of a bent badge clip from a lanyard, and a pick by deforming a dentist pick used to clean teeth with. It's not the best setup, but ive used them to practice on random locks from my old house. Found my "tools" work really well with small mailbox locks my friend bought for me to try. Four tinny spool pins, not much feedback but im still learning. Thank you and lockpickinglawer for making these videos so easy to understand and follow while keeping them entertaining.
Between yourself and LPL, your videos have talked me into having a go.
I'm going to buy a junk set of picks bundled with a load of clear locks, just so I can see how everything works and moves about. If I happen to enjoy playing around with them as much as I enjoy the videos, I've bookmarked this set as a first proper kit
Might as well place the order then, lol! Lock picking is really fun and that feeling when the core turns and you get that open never gets old.
I recommend looking at lockpicktools.com and getting pro quality plain handled picks for $2 each. They have everything you need to get started, made with top quality materials, and the prices are crazy cheap for the quality.
A great beginner set would be a couple short hooks, medium hook, and a hollow half-diamond for single-pin picks, a triple and quad peak Bogotá profile, a city rake, and a snake rake for rakes, then a longhorn tensioner set, and a set of 3 top of keyway flatbars would be all you need to pick almost anything for about $40 even with shipping.
Its a pick set you make up in your mind when browsing other kits, I want 2 from here, 1 from here, some rakes from over there and all the tensioners. Oh and must get a couple of spares.
Finally a pick set i would love to have a good complete set
I have the Multipick ELITE Dual Gauge kit from... yeah. Multipick. It's also very good. Never felt I lacked anything, and it gives you picks in both 0,4 mm and 0,6 mm.
@@luralas3863 thanks I have to check it out
Very nice set. All useful pick profiles and none of the odd ones usually thrown in to make a kit appear more versatile.
Looks like a cool set. I purchased a couple a picks from Law Lock Tools and am really impressed with the quality of their products.
Steven Lowel Thanks mate much appreciated
Very cool and well thought out kit. I’ve gathered some old lock from the garage and hope to soon get a kit and start the hands-on side of the learning. Thanks for the review and great content. Happy Trails Everybody!
I'm going to have to pick this set up for sure!
Oh for the budget to grab one of these! One to add to the wish list, thanks for the review Bill!
What a fantastic review on a truly Awesome pick set from Law Lock Tools. They’ve definitely thought of everything with this set. Have a great weekend.
I gotta get this set. Will compliment my sparrows EOD kit very well with that city rake, triple b, and those top tensioners. All things I thought the EOD kit lacked. Thank you for this review. 😎👍
This was and is by far one of my favorite videos from you, apart from some of your collab videos with other TH-camrs. It's been great watching your videos and practicing your talents over the length of time I've spent learning how to pick. You will be missed, enjoy retirement. YOU DESRVE IT!
Excellent review on an awesome set of picks
That's a gorgeous little kit. The slightly wider grip looks really comfortable.
Got this kit a couple days ago and am very impressed so far. Like you said not a sharp edge to be found. Great balance of hooks and rakes. The handle length and width are perfect. The bumps in the hollows are great and very comfortable. Hoping to really put them to the test this weekend.
I've bought from them a couple of times. I love the pair of wave rakes I bought. They are the first thing I try.
nice. def will have buy one of those kits
Nice set, pretty well rounded actually. I just wish more MFR's would inscribe some sort of part number on their tools. Just for identifying what you need to order for replacements. Or even sharing what pick you used in a video or something... I know it could add some cost, but I'd say it's worth it. And YES to that 'chonky' ToK prybar!!
Law Lock Tools make great stuff. Funny enough I use the LLT blanks in 19 thousands to make picks. The pick in this set that has the large curve I didn't know they made that but I made my own version. Actually a few different versions too and they work really well.
This kit looks to meet the need of most pickers. Would be nice to have some slimmer versions in there too like 18, 19 or 20 thousands thick. Great value, great picks and great review.
Thanks Bill.
Wow, they look awesome!
Great set
You can buy that top of the keyway tensioner separately. It's called the hooligan bar. You can weaponize the thing.
Nice set, I especially like the addition of the 2mm tok. As you point out, very useful for those exceptionally wide keyway we sometimes see.
Awesome picks
Thank you for the thorough review. I think anyone would be excited to win this set
An absolute beauty of a kit! Everything you could want and need in a set! A couple of the hooks in that set are Tipene designs too. That hooligan bar is a beast of a thing as well! 😁🥚
You could fight off a rabid herd of Master Locks with that Hooligan Bar!
Hi Hu if you can’t get the lock open picking, just beat it open with the hooligan! I’d go as far as to say it would beat that 50cal vs Squire... I have a few of them for self defence! 😂
Cheers John 👍🏻🍺
Nice set, I've been looking for a good one to get started with.
Nice, Nice...I was picking a lock this morning that needed a more stable wrench.
*THIS* is what a base kit should be. Every pick and rake you really want to start with, and a selection of *BOTH* tension wrench styles.
Nice selection of hooks, nice tension wrenches
A kit with pretty good range of picks with which to overcome different lock types in the field. And a plus is that it’s from UK, so no hanging around for overseas shipping. 👍
Definitely a set I would love to have!!
Sure seems to be a well thought out pick set.
Thanks for the vid. New to lockpickin
Thanks Bill. This will be next investment. A lot of thought was into their design. Really like the tention wrenches.
I actually have this same set and it’s great.
Those picks are beautiful.
Got a few of Andy"s picks , all good stuff :)
Sure a lot nicer than the $10 set I have.
Save your money up and buy a better lock picking set. I started out with a South Ord PXS-14, saved my money and upgraded to a South Ord MPXS-20 lock picking set.
You could make some picks as well. Hooks are pretty easy to make decent ones yourself. I use a drain cleaner spring. Grind away, and put some love into it with sandpaper. Put some shrink tube as a handle, and voila, you have a pretty good pick
Or as Bill says, pay once - cry once.. 👍
Have the CTR Pro and Valyrian sets since before, and some Nessies. Love the Eco design, wanted the Eco set before but this is much more complete. Nice one Andy!
K Johansson thanks mate much appreciated 👍🏻
Nice set!! I've never seen a Tok that thick
A beauty!
Great looking set great review. :)
Good review Bill, nice explanation about the picks. Nice to see the Tipene pick in there. I don't have any Law Lock picks yet.😪✌😉
That's a fabulous starter pack. I started with a lot less. Great review as always
I've never been a huge fan of the deforest diamond but that is more about technique than usefulness.
Nice review 👍
That would be a great field set
That 2mm bar is aptly called " the Hooligan" :)
excellent revue/demonstration those crenellations do work well and all the picks are practical for all skilled users. and newbies. i would have liked slightly longer handles . but my other law locks set The INCREMENT PRO Lock Pick Set meets some of my preference when picking
Nice picks
very nice kit
Very nice kit for anyone wanting to upgrade from the smaller, "beginner" sized pick sets, without making too much of a dent in the wallet. Some optional thicker handles would be beneficial for these.
Seems pretty nice.
Fantastic video buddy I own a set from lawlocks I believe it is one great quality pick sets available. 😎
SUNCOAST PICKER cheers mate 👍🏻
Slick set...just wish it was closer to my birthday...
I was relieved for a second that you had decided to forgo your intro. For a second.
I have the Increment Pro set. Good stuff but way to heavy to carry around. Wouldn't really recommend for starters. Again, good picks but too heavy and too large (and too expensive if you're not certain this is your thing). However, I use that set as a lend set for aspiring lock pickers who wants to try the sport out. They are virtually indestructible and there are all sorts of picks - you can practice any technique you want. That said, this set looks awesome. With the tensioners and the the selection of picks (and the finish) this looks as the definite starter set. A bit pricey perhaps but there's no bullshit in this and you don't have to buy more stuff until you know what you need after getting some real experience. Excellent. Thanx for the review and for bringing this to my attention!
I usually suggest buying the Dangerfield Praxis dual gauge set (requires finishing by you) or the Southord C2010 (requires buying extra pry bars). This set seems to be a much better starting point.
nice pick set
those HOLES. In my opinion make perfect for adding your own handles to the picks. Love the ridgebacks, but without a handle they cramp my hand like all thin picks with no handles. I do own a lot of LLts picks that are handled with metal though.. Very nice tools!
Waiting on my set now, it's been a long time coming, but I'm waiting.
Those smooth City Rakes looks fantastic. Way better than the sharp edged ones that I’ve already stabbed myself with. Great Video Bill, greetings from Germany.
I have the wave rakes they are awesome
chipchapchopreturns thanks mate 👍🏻
It's not cheap, but I looks like it really has everything you need.
It would be nice if it had a couple of thinner hooks. I might have to bite the bullet and get that kit.
Exactly what I've been wanting, bought one already!
CRUNULATIONS??? You learn something new ... every day. :)
I just ordered the Valyrian set from Law Lock Tools, a slightly more wallet friendly set than the Ridgeback. :)
The Valyrian is great, love it.
The Valyrian set is a very good set and I now sell it with non twisted wrenches. It’s a very popular kit thanks for your support 👍🏻
Awesome set from Law Lock Tools 👌, great designs from Tipene out of Australia 😂...!! fantastic review Bosnian Bill 👍...
Great review now I' m stuck between the Sparrows Night School Tux or this one..
The front pouch of the case is too deep, the pry bars all disappear inside it so you have to empty them all out to pick one. It's the same case as the one with his EDC Pro kit which I fail to pick locks with.
Andy Alder I will probably look at making the pocket shallower or the pry bars a little bit longer to compensate for that. Appreciate the feedback 👍🏻
I'd love to have this set too. Money's a bit tight to rationalize spending $116 on a new kit right now unfortunately..
Man, if there was ever a giveaway I wanted to win this would be it! I have wanted to pickup some UK hardware but have yet to take the plunge. But I have heard nothing but great stuff about Law Locks products. Don't know why I am so hesitant to shop across the pond.
England, Germany, and Italy have really good lock picking stuff. Us Americans are no slouches either when it comes to good lock picking stuff.
We are all lucky to live in a time when there are so many high quality lock picking options that are readily available to buy and use.
Very well said, sir.
Oh my, this is a tasty looking set. Would make a great portable set to compliment my bulky Petersons.
You probably won’t be using the cutouts for a keyring but maybe they’ll be useful for mounting some handles on the picks
Well actually Bill is see the holes there and don't think of key rings but rather better places to attach a handle
That's a sexy kit.
Nice!
Pins on the top in uk and those dont have two spates two have pointed tops and two have soft bump tops
#2:26 - I believe that's the Offset Hybrid from Sparrows; the Attila has a much steeper rise.
Honestly, in the UK, I very rarely see pins on the bottom. Most front doors I've ever had are always pins up top, our garage however does have them upside down. It seems to me pins bottom is asking for all kinds of crud to fall in there.
Very nice kit, I'm still stuck on China!
H good vid
ho ho ho, man! Can you imagine the hit Peterson has taken since he pissed you off? hahaha - that drunk!
Yeah what happened ???
I mean except for the extortionate pricing of peterson shit..
@@UNcommonSenseAUS I think Peterson took exception to one or more of Bill's reviews on some of his "kits" and sent out an email and posted stuff on his website about Bill's "loyalties" lying elsewhere, etc. Sounded like a drunken rant. There was also some stuff about the LPL since he also reviewed some of Peterson's kits and said that there were unnecessary picks, to which Peterson also took offense......
@@mlentsch sounds like a fucken asshole... they always out themselves sooner or later..
Could have just accepted the feedback & gotten better, but no...
Hey Bill, are there any good budget starter sets you would recommend? I'm looking to learn, and I really don't have the funds to just blow on a good complete set. Just looking for something good to start learning on.
Those ones he calls exact copies are not. Those are 4 different picks. Its the same 4 you get from TOOOL. You can see slight differences. Andy Law as confirmed they are 4 different picks.
Maybe they were SUPPOSED to be different (and that is what I expected), but as you see in the video they aligned perfectly with each other. Either way, I am going to invest in one of these kits.
Man Bill you will not be disappointed great picks love mine .,😎
Bosnianbill Thanks Bill for your review and show of support. The rakes are different mate trust me. It’s very subtle and it’s a nightmare for me to separate them all after tumbling. Try viewing them side on but not on top of each other. One has a smooth S type sine wave pattern and the other has a sharper W peak to it 👍🏻
Cleveland 4 way locks?
Would you be interested in playing with a couple of these? I have a padlock and a panel lock, with keys for each.
They came from a bus fare box company for whom my dad worked in the mid '70s.
Does anyone know were to get new production ABUS leverlocks?
@Bosnianbill how do you recover from a broken pick inside the keyway? If you break your pick during the attempt, what is the best way to remove anything inside as some of the pieces can be very small?
If you can, pick up the lock and shake it. Hopefully the piece will fall out. If not, slide in your pick as far as you can, hold a magnet against it's handle, and slowly withdraw it. The piece MIGHT stick to it. Try using a broken key extractor, then a spiral extractor. If all of THAT fails, try to push the broken piece as far into the lock as you can - it MIGHT fall out the back and allow you to pick the lock. If none of that works there is one sure fire, 100% guaranteed, never-fail method but according to the LockSport code, I cannot tell you. Yes, I'm kidding...😀
Great review & videos
I’m a real beginner here and would love to learn using some of the products shown, do you have any recommendations on kit I could purchase to start me off budget around £50 (based in the uk)
Take a look at UKBumpkey's Praxis kit.
Were are living in a wonderful time to be involved as a hobbyists or a professional.
More and more people are making tools for opening just about every kind of lock and there's an amazing assortment of pick shapes and sizes.
The negative side is that people could be overwhelmed by it all and spend way more money than they really need to. Individual financial situations are certainly none of my business, and some people can afford it all.
There's always been a running joke about the hpc 1,000 pick set. If it existed, people would buy it. Especially if the right person with influence told them too or gave it raving reviews as a good investment.
I think if we put everyone's pick sets together, there might be 1,000 pick profiles. Maybe not yet...
I truly believe that these picks and tools are overpriced by as much as 100% or more. I know buying a laser cutter, depending on the power, is expensive. Renting them is not and tumbling is fairly automated.
They literally put 4x8 sheets, or whatever max size fits their laser cutter, and spit out thousands of these. 10's of thousands. It's best to run that laser 24/7 if possible.
They just grab them and put them in a pouch and charge the maximum amount they can get away with.
That's the honest truth. I know metal and time cost money, but these picks costs very little to make. It also requires no additional employee's. One or two people is all that's needed.
This set on law locks website is listed as made in 0.025" , is there a .023" version?
Jamoor Jenkins It is actually a 0.025” version or 0.635mm 👍🏻
Has anyone tested the peterson shrike picks?
📝
Cómo puedo adquirir ese set y uso es el costo por favor gracias
Any good north america website's to buy picks like sparrows? The Canadian currency is just ridicules atm... Wanted to be a locksmith getting some picks and lock accessories but can't really find any good website's like sparrows or lockpickcanada..
Or 5 hunned smachkos if you live in Aus
*Noo Zealand (IIRC)
4 humper
You'd think that for such an expensive set this Ridgeback would have had a less-ugly case.
nothing wrong with the case
