HItech lockout tools are some of the best..There auto opening cd and book are great for newand old cars you are not familiar with yet. They give you easy drections and actual pictures and diagrams of the inside of the doors and mutiple ways of entry on some models. Im not sure if the air bag is the super air bag in that kit but you want to have the regular size also..The larger one is to big and you should also have one as a back up. I had one airbag from them arrive and had a leak from the get go. I called and sent it back and was replaced and sent back with no problems. All and all the kit you are gettting will let you in to just about every vehicle on the planet..

I also like High Tech tools. Their customer service is great. I only have the Basic Combo set (http://hightechtools.com/catalog.php?catid=1&objectid=129&productid=107), which actually seems to be more than I need. So far, the only tools in the kit that I have used are the air wedge, the long reach tool, and the strap tool. These three tools are all I have needed to open all the lockouts that I have had up to this point. But at least I have the other tools available in case those three should fail me. :D

nice, i have several different sets, z tool, high tec, and a couple of others, i like the pro lock book, end up using the air wedge and long reach most of the time, this is if my picks or pick keys fail which is not very often. careful with the under the window tools they can be hard on window tint.

Awhile back I wrote:

Well, that changed today. I just got home from a lockout where after 16 seconds the car's security system turns off all power to the interior buttons, thus making it impossible to unlock the door with just a push of a button. So I actually had to use one of the other tools in my kit and go inside the door. Thank goodness I had the other tools, and not just the basic long reach tool and strap! They were a life saver! :D

Hi charlied1986,

I have the exact same kit and I love it. I've never used the long reach tools yet. I prefer working in the door and never had issues with scratches, etc. Just be careful and carry along a spray bottle of soapy water if you want to be double-safe.
