Hrm... automotive pick tools (e.g., jigglers) are, strictly speaking, illegal to possess in Canada unless you're licensed -- and blowguns, butterfly knives, pepper spray and stun guns (also advertised on their website) are all prohibited weapons here. I don't imagine they'll be in business long... :wink:

Sorry for calling you sad i came home from work at 3 am and both my kids where crying all night i was a little strested out. The thing is I want to buy the lock picks from my country im not big on sending money to the USA. I might take you up on your offer but i would like to look aroud first. Thank you for the offer.

Thing is, you seem a little too eager to buy a set. If you're having problems, perhaps post some pics of your existing ones. There's plenty of guys here who could help you with materials and techniques. From what I can see, there's nothing any of the homemade ones can't do different than the ones I buy. If anything they can do more. I end up modifying new ones all the time.

Heres some pics of my picks what i have left i lost a lot and i cant find them.

Why would you want a new set if you have those?

Personally, I've found that I get far less feedback from the "dental pick" style handles: if they were my only picks, I would likely be looking to either acquire or make some new ones.

Why don't you buy a set on lockpick.com? They accept credit cards and paypal. They told me they sold picks for 3 years to Canada and they had no problem crossing the border. I'm awaiting for a set as well in about 1-2 weeks. I'll post if they come without them being confiscated by Canada Customs.

He doesn't have a credit card, and doesn't like to send money to strangers.

If you don't like sending money to strangers how the hell will you buy a lock pick set? Do you really think someone off this site who is that well known would risk getting his reputation here, and at his lock picking club ruined because he ripped you off? Besides, $25 is really nothing. If I was offered this, I would have paid extra to get them shipped to Australia.

You should be fine: I've placed orders from lockpicks.com before, without any problem. (The only caveat may be ordering into Alberta.)

I mailed a money order to lockpickshop.com about 10 days ago. They mailed the set to me on the 4th so i should have them real soon. Thanks for the help everyone. I cant wait to get them.

I ordered the MPXS-62 pick set. Is it any good, I hope it is. If everything works out, I'm going to get a couple pick sets from them. But I want to make sure they get by customs befor I spend much money.

I received my expensive lset of picks and a pick gun. They were not opened by customs for 2 good reasons. First they used UPS. They get checked a lot less than regular mail. Heck they inspect 1 out of every 30 CDs I buy from foreign countries!

Anyway I won't mention the second reason why it was unlikely to be inspected. I don't want the company to fall into any trouble because what they did was a big plus.
