HELP! (pick quality from online store)

Postby drunk.with.love » 9 Dec 2006 22:12

http://www.imsplus.com/imslocks.html

i bought a 32-pick set from them (that looks like the southord 32-pick set but since it doesn't say that it is, i'm kinda doubtful) and idk if theyr great quality or not... it wasn't on the list of good/bad places to buy a lock picking set so i rly don't know where else to ask about this. Please help! Any opinions?

That looks like a nice Southord set and, if so, that is a decent price on a decent pick set that covers all the basics. A lot of folks start with a Southord set (I did).

Gosh darn it, press the Submit when trying for the Preview so here is the rest of the post:

As far as the company is concerned, it looks legit although I never have ordered from them. It is always nice when they include an address and phone number and it looks like they advertise in some of the military magazines. I would be fairly confident, although I personally would stick with someone on the recommended list.

Please let us know when it comes if it is the Southord set. That would be the best price I have seen for that set, and is the one I am looking at getting. Thanks for posting the information. Keep us updated.

Let us know for sure when you get it, a dozen or so of the picks should be the stainless handles and so on. Take some pics if you can. I'll be ordering from them if all is well because that is by far the best price I have found!

It's Southord, it just came in yesterday, pretty nice, small scratch on the case but nothing major really.


Ah! So happy! Hahhaha.
