I was cleaning my hard drive this week, and came across this picture on my hard drive. I think I saved it from a site or something a while ago. Figured I would put it up here before I deleted it. Don't know, just thought people may be interested, even though they aren't mine.
Could someone tell me what the set on the bottom left. I have never seen these before. Are they availbale from a site?

I don't really mind, although I do usually make orders of about $50 US and the postage for that is $13. But I think I wouldn't really mind paying the postage. Maybe COD would be good.

Sorry, my fault. I was only looking at page 3 of the thread. Since you said "this picture," not "that picture," I assumed it was supposed to be in that post.
The bottom right looks like LAB to me, but don't take my word for it.

if i am not mistaken, the top left set (junk yard dog pic) is of a Peterson byfold set. What is that red thing on top (looks like a lighter?)

From the top left, clockwise
1.) Peterson Bi-fold set with what looks to be a file, and a screwdriver. The pick with the red rubber grip is the "Slender Gem" a very thin pick. The tool all the way to the right in the brown is the Peterson "slender Knife" tool.
2.) An HPC set, with what looks to be like HPC2000 picks.
3.) an HPC 7 pin tubular pick.
4.) A pick gun whose manufactuer I cannot determine
5.) LAB pickset
6.) A Rytan pickset. I cannot tell if it has the "Mini-Blue picks, as most are hidden away in the back of the case.

k, these pictures are of Jasons set. He relayed them through me.
This is what he said:
The rest of the pics came out a bit crappy when I put them on computer - I'll borrow a friends digital camera and get close ups of the rest of my kit otherwise it'll just look silly. I might try seeing whether I can scan the picks in using my scanner.
This pic is of my letter box kit - it earns it's money by opening locks through the letterbox (hence the name). I've used it to retrieve keys left in locks on the inside and also to draw back bolts and door chains.
It also works really well on Ingersoll and circular Chubb rim locks which have not been deadlocked with the key. These are auto deadlocking so this is ideal for these.
I'll try and send more when I figure out this camera - this is why I'm a locksmith and not a photographer!!

This is what he said:
I took these today (managed to get my poxy Jenoptik 1.3M camera to work albeit temporarily! - take my advice - don't buy one)
The first is my BS lock set, you won't find these over in Oz unless you're really unlucky. The conventional way is to drill a 10mm hole in the right place (only when you've identified the lock make and model) and then checked to make sure you've got the right location to drill, then you use two ground screwdrivers to manipulate the levers and then draw back the bolt.
This piece of kit has a 2mm hardplate drill bit to cut into the hardplate of the lock to enable the poke wires to do the biz whilst the different coloured turners raise the levers and finally draw back the bolt - you still have to be bang on with your identification of the lock, but there's no damage to the door and the key can still be used on the lock - and you can relock afterwards.
The second picture is of my HPC electropick (the white tape is to help me find it quickly if I put it down in the dark) and my snapper bar. This only needs a couple of mm to grip a profile cylinder and "snap" it off (one end is for euro, the other for ovals).
The third one is my HPC "fishing pole", used for opening cars - this pic shows it with the "sure grip" head (best in my opinion for opening vans) there are another two heads - a hook for lifting keys and a loop for pulling door levers, when you don't want to risk damaging the interior of a luxury car.
Just got my delivery today of a Chubb/Tibbe pick for decoding and opening Fords and Jaguars - I'll have some fun practicing with that tomorrow!

The 2 in 1 was from RB Medical/Locktools.
Each handle is removeable, for left or right handed locks (properly universal). I just keep both handles attached until I start picking so I don't lose them.
It is made from surgical steel and takes a hell of a lot of abuse from me without breaking (so far). You might just be able to make out the laser welding near the tip (business end), I didn't scan it at a very high resolution as I didn't want to spend hours uploading the image.
They're not cheap, but you get what you pay for!
sledgehammers make excellent back up picks!
