KGB pick set - standard UK locks

[The Dude]

Can the KGB pick set be used on standard UK locks? I would like to get it but i need to know if it will be of any use in the UK. cheers

The "KGB" pick set is a mini version of the PIP-2000 stainless series. They are slimmer than the normal picks, and are the same blades used in the stainless series.

You will have no problem with them in smaller locks, or Euro locks.

Thanks Romstar. How about the Southord JPXS-6F pocket pick set. Is it a slim line set?

i dont know if it is slim line, my guess would be that its not, but, as the adivce i give to anyone learning to pick, dont buy any kind of fancy pick as your first pick, no jack knives/pen knives/pen picks, anything like that, it will only make the learning process harder and more frustrating, for your first set, buy a normal pick set. its so much better! if you already know how to pick and are just looking form something convienient and you have the cash to spare, by all means get the jack knife, you can always file the picks down if they're too big.

The last JPXS-6 I saw was NOT a slimline design. It's picks were standard thickness.

I also agree with M.I.T. in that it should not be a beginner pick set. It's just too clumsy, and gets in the way of your sensativity, and development.

Although, it is a nice bit of flash to have, or something for when you hae no other tools.

Other than that, I pretty much stay away from anything like this.
