    Tip: If things are falling off of your desk, then flip the desk over. Nothings falls upward, so it shouldn't fall over.

    Definitely a nice set. I also bought the echelon set as well.
    The tension tools in this set is my favorite. I had to go back and buy more.

      They are good tensioners, especially for a starter set 👍🏻

      @@Dmaclocksport yes. I started with only wiper style.
      When I got my hands on these (as well as some TOK) I was instantly picking locks I was finding more difficult at the time.
      I’ve been watching some of your older picking videos.. you are an animal.

    Nice review! I love this set! Ive picked my way up into purple belt locks with this set so far! I do prefer the ergo turners from ci for tok though. Nerve problems in my hands make using the z bar for tok in hand difficult. But i love them for bok!

    Watched the video. Having some decent TOK and BOK seems OK for 2 hooks and 2 Christina Palmer rakes, for a beginner set

    WHY didn't they make the opposite side a few mm deeper so you can fit additional picks in as opposed to just a card/shim?!?
    Thanks for the review, I have yet to try any CI picks yet myself apart from the Covert Companion (which I had to use today at work as it happens 😀). I'm guessing they're en par with Multipick regarding quality etc...?

    • @SeeStuDo
      @SeeStuDo 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I put all my bok and tok turners on that side. Fit snug, magnet helps keep them from falling out. All picks, rakes, and a Bogota Set for the front.

      Probably shouldn't do that if you use credit or debit cards. There are magnets in the case that could interfere with your card.

    • @thegreatchaos13
      @thegreatchaos13 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Unless you put on some kind of pouch that stop the magnets from reaching the card, I'm not sure you will have enough luck there bud.

    Is it worth it to buy Genesis with echlon ?

    • @Dmaclocksport
      @Dmaclocksport  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'd say yes. That gives you doubles of the genesis profiles but you'll have 2 different thicknesses. Plus many tensioning options

    I wish they sold both sets together as one. buying both and having the extra case is kind of a waste but not a huge deal. I dont care for the turning tools in TOK and they are just average in BOK. honestly just buy the Eshelon, and add the two 0.025 hooks from the Genesis set and you are good. also I JUST bought the genesis set less than a month ago and mine didnt have the .025 etched in.
