Advanced 9-Piece Set Lock Picks

Pros: It seems to be a very nice quality for the price. I managed to bend one slightly, as I had it in my pocket. That was my fault, though. The picks are different sizes etc.

Cons: There are no snakerake in the set. Also, the tension wrench is way too big for any lock which you would pick with these picks. In my opinion, the tension wrench would take up way too much space in the picking. This was a bad thing, as I will have to make my own tension wrench, and I was actually expecting the one included to be good.

Other: One of the good buys fromhere.

Pros: Decent quality, comfortable handles, nine picks in different shapes plus not one but TWO tension-wrench doodads. The second wrench is not (as I write this) shown in the pictures; it's a sturdy little double-ended one with a round shaft.

Cons: Obviously not made from top-grade steel, and the edges are all a bit rounded, which may make the picks less effective.

Other: Looks like a great beginner's pick set to me.
The pitfall with buying cheap tools when you're learning to do something is that the tools may be too crappy to do the job, even in the hands of an expert. Or may break after you've done the job only ONCE :-).
These dirt-cheap picks aren't in that category. They're not the best, but they really should work fine, and you can't beat this value!

Pros: These lock picks have perfect-sized comfortable handles - a must with lock picks. There are nine lock picks with a variety of heads. It also includes two torsion wrenches. One applies a softer touch than the other. Includes a clear plastic pouch.

Cons: Not the manufacturer's fault but a few of the picks were bent quite severely out of shape due to postage. It wasn't difficult to bend them back into shape, however.
Perhaps DX needs to wrap these up in some stiff cardboard.

Other: Great value lock picking set. Not top of the line by any means, but certainly all that you need.

Pros: The lockpicks came in a transparent plastic bag wich is kinda good so they are easy to have order over where they are instead of of they laying around without a bag. The lockpicks got a great black plastic handle wich is great. It came with 2 tension wrenches not one.

Cons: The metal on the lockpicks can bend easy if you are not to careful. Other then that there arent any cons.

Other: This is my first lockpicking set and they look great, and for this price you cant go wrong. I actually managed to open a lock with these picks but it was a small cheap lock. I dont really know wich lockpick to use on wich locks, but that knowledge will come with time.

Pros: Very nice handles make this set very easy to use. Includes a nice variety of picks but no snake-rake.

Cons: My plastic sleeve came with sticky tape all around it so once you remove it you'll have a VERY sticky carrying case.
Could easily bend these accidentally

Other: A great set to have, very easy to use but be careful not to bend them

Pros: For the price I can keep a pair in the car in case I need to help someone who is locked out. Decent quality Comes with everything you need to pick 90% of locks out there.

Cons: Ordered 2, one came with a normal tension wrench, the other just had a thick, bent piece of metal that would not fit in any lock. (flattened piece of welding rod or street sweeper brush makes a perfect tension wrench)

Other: This is the only set you will ever need. 90% of locks out there can be picked with this kit. Automobiles? No problem. No need to spend money on fancy picks.

Pros: - Very cheap - Well packaged - Easy to use - The metal used feels really strong - Lots of different tools and sizes

Cons: - The build-quality could be a little better, but the materials used seem to be high quality. - There is too much sticky tape on the packaging.

Other: I recommend this great set to both amateur and professional locksmith or hobbyists.

Pros: They work. I have tried 3 or 4 locks now and the picks haven't bent or broken (oh, and I opened the lock). Handles are firmly attached. wrench seem sturdy

Cons: most of the picks are hooks. would liked to have had some more shapes. Rounds, rakes ... Have know idea what this wavy one is for The soft case they come from is cheep clear vinyl. Who wants to keep their lock picks in a clear case. Case should be cheep black vinyl.

Other: Can't beat the price if you ever wanted to give it a shot this beats the hell out of a screw driver and paper clip

Pros: Very cheap set of picks, can be used to pick most standard types of lock without any problems. Have had problems with the kids snapping keys in the padlock on the sheds so the key extractors will come in very handy as last time I had to use a chisel and hammer to "open" the lock.

Cons: No snake rake so requires a bit more skill to use which isn't a bad thing. The picks are a bit long and flimsy but for the price who cares, if you intend to use them a lot then I would invest in a more professional set.

Other: Usefull to have in case of lost keys or heavy handed kids or adults who break keys in locks. Have even used them instead of going upstairs for the key to a padlock as they were closer to hand and it was quicker to pick the lock.
Recommend getting a set just in case as they are cheaper than getting a lock smith out.

Pros: These are an excellent set of lock picks. They are very firm and give lots of tactile feedback which is essential when one is picjing locks. Especially good for padlocks.

Cons: There's no half diamond pick which I think is quite odd, and a couple of the picks are essentially the same.
The packaging it arrived in had been wrapped once in very strong packing tape (presumably to stop the picks falling out) However I had to cut open the case to get them out which means I now have no case. It's not a big issue really, I probably wouldn't have used the case anyway.

Other: Cheap as chips and fairly reliable. They're ideal for someone looking to get into lockpicking.
