Who told you they open locks fast?

Why and where do you want fast entry?

No they arent magic tools and still need a lot of practise to use,

What/where are you trying to get into fast? becuase all your posts revolve around that one subject,

I have a set, and yes, they do take some working with to get used to them. In reality, They are just collecting dust. They are more for jiggling than raking, You might break them if you were to use them raking. Also, its luck of the draw as to which one will work with which lock. Kind of a guessing game. I ordered them because of that same U-tube movie. I havent tried them on many locks, mosty because they are no fun to pick with, they may be fast(MAY, being the key word), but deffinetly no fun. Anyways, I hope that helped.

I also own one of these sets and can honestly say that they are [i]not[/i] worth the price. They DO on the other hand work, but I have yet to pick a lock with them alone. They make a perfect addition in you standard pickset (that's where I keep mine) but as mentioned before I mostly use them for jiggeling and maybe softening some stuck pins before the actual pick.

Overall - Buy them if you have the extra many, you can easily use them. But don't expect them to be your primary picks.

least they look cool.


If they are made by a computer then there must be ALOT of different ones.

A little of topic,but..

My friend said he did calulations and found out that there are over 1 (american) billion combinations of notes on an acoustic guitar.
