Exclusive to Tradenet, they invented it! Been around for years and costs about £25 from a real locksmiths tool supplier. Works on low end euros sometimes.

75% of locks?? not even 75% of thumbturns in my opinion,

They only work with thumbturns and its basically a bit of piano wire with a bend on the end,

Site rules forbids any further info on this bypass technique but please save your money and dont buy from tradenet, their prices are very very expensive on all their items and a lot of them are inferiour copies of tools that are cheaper to buy elsewhere anyway.

In the article description on their website they wrote:A brilliant new tool exclusive to Tradenet UK. We designed this tool to open Euro locks with thumbturns very easily.

They boast about it as if they have invented the thing. What happens when their skilled Research&Development team (read: a monkey surfing the internet) discovers something really magic like a bogota? :)

Then it will be made for sale along with the same claims that they invented it and it will cost in excess of £200,

this tool was first marketed by nigel rose and demonstrated 2 years ago at the mla show , its since been homemade by almost every locksmith since, and is also on sale now at keyprint.
everyone ive trained in past 2 years has gone home with these made in my workshop free.

the only thing invented by tradenet is their extortionate prices, selling souber tools at over 150% mark up to them, steer very clear of this lot.

I have to defend tradenet a little here, there prices aren’t much higher than multi pick or any of the other sites that sell to locksporters. I have used them a couple of times and found them fast helpful and friendly.

I bow down to your experience there shrub I tend to stick with Southord, never used Souber and try not to form my opinions based on what others tell me. I haven’t had any real problems with Southord gear or Tradenet but then I’m not using them day in day out.

To charge up to £90 for a tool that retails at £30 is a little excessive , to claim to teach covert entry to police and government departments is complete fabrication, this i know for a fact.
sell to hobby pickers at a profit is fine, but at a rip off price is not.

On souber tools, some of their kit is excellent, and some is not like every supplier, but they are priced in line with their quality, better quality is available at a price.
