Klom EPG

Tool recommendations, information on your favorite automatic and/or mechanical lockpicking devices for those with less skills, or looking to make their own.

Klom EPG

Postby chip » 29 May 2008 15:13

Just bought a back-up epg for those times when the Wendt goes flat.

I had hard a bit about te Klom and as I only wanted a cheap one had a look around.

I bought this superb electric pick gun and then saw the auto inner groove picks at half the price of most and far cheaper than uk bump keys, so ordered a set of them too.

The delivery was fast and I was really surprised how good this little gun was. Just ordered another to keep in stock, at these prices, why not!

Here' the links

for the disillusion

Postby raimundo » 30 May 2008 8:03

he hopes that so he can be dissappointed, its all about the disillusion, the world does not work to our personal specifications. who are these locksmiths, and who vets them, do they take lie detector tests every few years? Remember the shennanigans that really pay off for crooks are the ones with the suits and lawyers and signed papers. ENron.......,

its a funny old world, the locksmith tool sales , uk bump keys were once the cheapest and are now the dearest, ive found several cheaper sites now.

i spoke to one of these shops last nite, and they vow to beat the ukbk price on just about every product they release, so the comming months will be interesting for all of us lockpick buyers, as online shops drop prices further and further to get their market share, it seems theres never been a better price to buy tools in the uk as prices seem to be dropping daft cheap.

i think you had better look at the 2 links above as both of them are far cheaper than this link to NE Locksmiths, you can save £20 alone just on the klom pick gun.

ah yes it seems so, but there is no postage or vat to be added to nelocksmithsuplies, the price you see is the total price you pay, nothing added at the checkout, i think you will find they are cheaper when you get to the checkout

still dearer, i bought one from rapidlocksmith.com at

£55.52 inclusive of vat and postage, they charge £45 plus vat for the pick gun plus vat which is £52.87 plus £2.65 p & p which is a total of £55.52, still almost £10 cheaper on this 1 item than NE.

just looked at site again, and vag innergroove pick is over £10 cheaper, tibbe pick £5 cheaper , in fact almost every item is cheaper at both the above than at NE locksmiths.

If they drop their prices to come in line or better the above shops prices then id also sing their praises, but at present almost nothing is as cheap or cheaper as claimed.

in fact ive just checked a selection of items between rapidlocksmith.com and nelocksmithsupplies listed below;

the final price inc is

Goso 23 piece pick set NE= £30 , RAP = £22.05 , £7.95 difference
VAG inner groove pick NE= £35 , RAP = £23.28 , £11.72 difference
Ford Tibbe Pick NE= £35 , RAP = £30.63 , £4.37 difference
Klom Pick Gun NE= £65 , RAP = £55.52 , £9.48 difference

that is big savings on all of these products in comparison to NE, so unsure as to the claim of cheaper, the only product i can see on the NE site that looks good value to me is the easyshare auto picks if bought individually, other than those items they seem dearer on everything else.

great stuff, i hope the price keeps tumbling down as their price wars begin as im sure it will, the consumer wins again, be interesting to see if the inner groove pick now drops in price significantly and the goso set.

then i hope the 2 above shops again drop their prices and so on until we all get an even better deal.

but of course you can still buy even cheaper direct at szhuang or datang locksmiths even with shipping, il find links to their sites later on, however google them and see, and pay by paypal with datang.

i think its great, ukbk came along and many others have since set up undercutting them , the 2 above have come along and undercut these, NE come along and shave 50p off of 1 item, maybe more to come, then im guessing the rest will drop even lower, until those that want to buy in the uk get the best deal possible and those wanting to save even more money go direct to the likes of datang locksmiths.

everyones a winner, especially as this little forum has pushed a new supplier into dropping their prices even further, long may it continue for all of us who buy picks in the uk.
