Greetings, many thanks for the review, you have just saved me £95 and a lot of heart ache and worry. I look forward to further totally honest reviews. Regards Chris
I have bought some of these picks and like you said tip snapped and had to buy another as couldn’t change blade ,very disappointing! ,was thinking of buying a gj locks version of this where you can actually change the blades and it’s hard to feel pins with this lock pick as I think personally the blade wires are a little too thick where as the gj version is a thinner profile! And is easier to guild above from pin to pin without struggling like you showed in video ,great video👍
I'm thinking for a casual locksporter like me, the banggood set with the four handles and interchangeable tips is the better investment. Yes it won't give me a bitting reading, but at least I will get better feedback from the pick and the set will last me longer. That said, I haven't played with the mini set that I got from ukbumpkeys yet. It looks like it will be ok to learn with (after a little bit of finishing). I just wish they'd have included four handles instead of just one.
The inability to pick to right has made my decision easy The GJ although pricey is a far better option but if money is no object then for picking left it is easy I have used one in training
Cheers for the review, it really isn’t good enough that these companies are changing so much money for sub standard tool, that don’t even work properly.
And so a 1st class review, and thanks for that.i must have missed the name of manufacturer, and a recommendation of a British one.£95 is not cheap in any sense at all,professional or locksport, well done Gav,billbo.
I heard many similar stories from disgruntled locksmiths. This is so bad!!!. Sorry you were ripped off by this outfit. Thanks Gav I will spread the word.

Which set did you buy?

GJ does not make a pick for this lock unfortunately.
Great information. I had toyed with the idea of trying to get a few of these but they are bit pricey just for a hobby picker.
Great review, thanks Gav

Nice review. I think I will stick with flag picks and tension tool.
