Abracadabra and Alakazam another successful stream from the Sandman! When you get your blackbelt, make a moral patch of you in a Gi with the blackbelt, black eye and a butterfly lockpick in hand.
Looks cool, still gonna wait for a sale before I get it. It only holds one pick at a time. Maybe If it had a faster swap method that didn’t require an external tool I’d still spring for it but it seems more like a party trick. Cool fidget and gimmick toy for sure.
I've had the Gravpick for about 24hrs now. It's left my hand only when it was necessary for sleep or for work.. and I do mean only when necessary. I'm addicted, and realized there's a massive potential for customized profiles here. I assumed CI might eventually release different profiles, but I recently acquired a good dremel tool with the sole intent on trying to make my own picks and profiles, and it wouldn't be a drastic stretch for CI to sell blanks for the Grav right alongside the standard blanks.
I just got mine, and I'm super happy with it. It has a great quality feel. My only complaint is that there is no lock to keep it closed. That can be a bit of a bother if it's rattling around in your pocket and it drops open on its own.
Im on the fence still. Innovation is always appreciated, but limited to one pick is a bummer. Now if that pick is one of the tickler profiles where you can rake and single pin pick, then that would push me over the edge. Especially since the turning tool is gonna eat up the bottom of the keyway.
I agree, it strikes me as some mall ninja garbage that I will show friends to be cool, but it'll sit in the drawer when I need to get an actual job done.
@@DustyGibson-o6v It's really a fidget toy first, and a lockpick second. Mine rarely spends any time in my drawer just because I spend so darn much time playing with the mechanism LOL
No doubt this will not enhance or help your lock picking career in any way even the makers stress that this is a fidget toy first lock picking tool second, it's just simply a super fantasy handle for the Genesis set.. to my knowledge you can't put any of the other SSF inserts so.. yeah.. Still really cool if you got the money
I think an important consideration when evaluating this tool is: On Picking Time with Lady Locks and LockHeat, LPL actually said himself that while being a functional lockpick was obviously important, this and the other Fidget Picks are actually meant to be fidget toys first, and lockpicks second! So that's why the process of swapping profiles is a little tedious--it's a sacrifice because you're expected to spend more time playing with the mechanism! And for what it's worth, it does a VERY good job at that. I've lost sleep due to wanting to keep playing with mine LOL
Between the comb pick, this and the jigglers i have been keeping my eye out for a little bit lol. Just waiting for the right time, great review/video 💙💙😊
I also collect the handy picks. I had the same opinion. Perfect on body pick to rake simple locks before digging for something else. Most locks will be fine, and you can address higher security locks accordingly.
Totally agree! A 0.020” mctickler would push me over the edge to buy this. Until then, I love the innovation and I’m glad others are buying and supporting it.
Maybe this will be controversial, but I actually like the escort folder. It needs more pick profiles and tensioners, but from what I hear that's coming. The "Grav Pick" would be a cool prop if I was playing a locksmith in a movie and it didn't need any practical application beyond one cool shot of me whipping it out.
Sandman what don't you lick about the SWICK. I don't have any of these jackknife style picks, but I would like to pick one up someday for my backpack. Thanks for your videos.
I saw a preview video (that i think you commented on, you have everything lol) where lockpickin lawyer seemed to struggle closing it, it seems they've fixed some things with it so it slides perfect. Idk mine is set to come today so ill see for myself. Abracadabra?
Lol imma get a real gravity... uh, let's say can opener, and combo these 2 for my edc just cause they're cool. Hopefully i can use those extra profiles on a real multitool like in ready or not
Might end up getting one eventually, but disappointed they didn't make it hold a TOK tension bar to make it a bit more useful if not raking. I have a knife that works the same way and it is fun to fidget with.
@@lapua9828 Interesting ? When i began with balusongs, some 40 yrs ago, they didnt have TRAINERS, if smart you just taped sharp edges, and still took it serious, bleeding focusses ones attention to task at hand.
I’m just kinda looking into lock picking. I’d be interested in this for pad locks and I’m wondering how it would work on most standard bolt locks for doors.
I cant wait until this arrives - it should be here in a few days. I just wish the body could store the other three picks somehow but its still really cool.
@@owenkosevich6455 I already have black belt level high security locks on my home, I installed them myself. I don’t have a favorite lock. I do enjoy going to Locksport meetups and picking every lock on the table in an hour though. That’s my favorite lock.. all of them
@ there are two profiles on there, a short hook and a wave rake. Who carries locks besides a lock picker? Bring a couple you know you can open with the profiles you have and an easy lock in case someone wants to give it a try.
@@UpperDarbyDetailing What do you mean there are two profiles on there? It only holds one at a time. You have to manually swap out each profile with the hex wrench.
@ no, it holds two at a time. At least that’s the way it looks to me. A short hook and a wave rake will be plenty to knock out most locks. Even if I’m wrong, it’s still plenty easy to just carry a few locks you KNOW you can pick with the applicable tool. Carry an acrylic lock as well in case someone wants a better demonstration or wants to try it.
ABRACADABRA!!!!! Love the grav pick. To me, it is just a really expensive toy. It’s an awesome toy, but it’s still an expensive toy. I have spent $800+ on covert instruments, but this is not something I think is worth the price.
McNally is to a lockpicker as the Grav pick is to a lock pick. The standard will get it done but Mcnally, he just flops it out and destroys the lock. Get the lube!
I see what they are doing but its kind of (REALLY) expensive for a single pick + handle. Bit gimmicky . If there was any way to make 2 picks at least it would be really really useful. one hook and one rake would be nice. maybe split that nub in 2 somehow. Also, best jackknife is the SWICK.
Always had a boner for grav knives. This will probably open 90% of the locks you encounter in real life it only takes that one last try after you are about to give up because the thing is super crusty and corroded.

Someone mentioned the grav pick is steel not aluminum, damn, this thing is so light and fast, I honstly thought it was aluminum.

Does the grab pick hold only one profile for instant use?
@@UpperDarbyDetailing Yes, at 8:07 , you can see for yourself.
That was me! Yep, EVERYTHING in the Grav Pick will stick to a magnet--even the sled that holds the pick tip in place!
Looks cool, still gonna wait for a sale before I get it.

Yeah instead of the one screw. there would be 2 screws.. then a push button for a quicker swap on the pick.

Very similar to the mechanism in Reate Knive’s gravity knife. Extremely cool!

Almost the exact same design as the reate exo, very cool I also must have one

@@NAY2GAS yeah they came back in stock a few days after this video. And sold out again 2 more time. They do a great job restocking.

It will work just the same as a Genesis pick set. Same profiles, but you can only carry one pick in this. I would recommend the Genesis to start with
Get her a SWICK jackknife bro 💪🏼🤙🏼 she sounds like a keeper btw
Nice Tool, thank you for Review Sandman

Abracadabra. Thanks for the brain dump. Its good to see what someone with more experience in the sport thinks of this addion to the available tools.
Like a gravity knife. It makes so much sense.
I would buy your Lishi /CI set up.
Would be cool if all the attachments were together that you can select between them and not remove the entire thing just for another one.
Damn, nice review and great overview of all the Jackknifes 👌👌
Abracadabra!
By the way…was speculating making a handle for the riv pick. Once open, a clamshell style with magnets or a sleeve that locks somehow…
It’s a good idea
Son of a…held off on this and now its sold out. You just made me regret that decision. Definitely be watching for a restock.
Abracadabra
It's back in stock if you want to grab one before they sell out again
@stevengexx5997 lol, mine just arrived today. Ordered it the second they where back. Thank you for the heads up, appreciate that!
It’s a cool tool that can make you look cool with the opportunity to use a flourish when opening and closing.
Or make you look foolish when your one and only pick profile doesn't unlock it and you have to open your real kit to finish the job.

Hi Sandman, may I ask what happened to your Swick pick, please? I have one myself, and I’m curious. Thanks.
I sent it in to a manufacturer that will tumble and polish the picks for me. They are too rough and sharp

You deserve a metal sir! Im getting one right now
good luck! they are all sold out! but sign up for notifications
Does it lock shut so it won’t open in your pocket?
@@ccbean1980 no, just closes
Watch them make it illegal not because it’s a tool to unlock stuff and can be used for crime. But because it’s not safe lmao
Its back on sale now if anyone still wants one, i just got mine
Ermahgerd, I want one! Also, what sling bag do you use? 🤔
@@WtfLockPicking currently the SLNT for non conceal carry, and a VIKTOS for conceal carry
@sandman_locksport nice! I use the vertx commuter for off body. Also, I commented before abracadabra lol
witch one is the best one ?
It’s subjective.
I haven’t got mine because it’s sold out
I'm going to wait until they come out with one that holds two picks. Yall know they are going to do it at some point
the multipick one was very bad... since this time i never used jack knnifes
I just consider this a useful/cool toy for pickers, not an actual jack knife.

If you could toggle between different profiles I’d be sold.

I don't like it. It rattles and there's only one tool + tension bar in it.
Would've liked to see both a rake and a pick in it.
Very very limited for the price tag...
Would be better if you could change picks without tools.. On the fly use...
I agree
Abracapocus.... no.... Pocuscadabra... Whala whala washington.... S*** I forgot what to say...
I think it’s handy as a poker in hell! Love it. I regret not buying 2. For what I do it’s getting past 90% of the locks. I will carry it every day
