It's easy to find the info you want, you need to search. Nobody here is going to search and compare prices and them PM you the info.

By the way. It's spelled THIEF, and we don't like them here. Please explain why you chose that name.

Associating lockpicking with theft is the kind of image we are trying to dispell here in the locksport community. Most of the public who have no knowledge of lockpicking will automatically relate the two but that is because of pure ignorance and lack of understanding.
Watch this video to see what we mean, http://youtube.com/watch?v=4fXrbK0SM6k . Having a name or title that places the image of a criminal element in a site like this is not a good idea.
There are three reasons why you would want to learn how to pick locks.
1. You are a professional locksmith or government employee who need such tools and skills for your work.
2. You are a hobbyist who does this for pure fun and for no immoral gain.
3. You're a criminal.
I think most everyone here is trying hard to make the first two reasons paramount over the third.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

UWSDWF is abrasive like that, it's what he does, but Eyes Only is exactly right. How about this: the name is misspelled, so you'll want to change it so you don't look ignorant. Since you want to change it anyway, how about making it something that doesn't reinforce the prejudice that we're up to no good?
