Happy Picker

[enThrall]

I just got my MPXS-14~~~! I really like the set. I like the way it dances in my fingers!~ I lilke the way it moves! And I like the way it make my heart jump up and down as the torque wrench turns! All in all, let's get it started in hee-ah!

Any pointers, advice (plz no flame) would be greatly appreciated.

Congratulations! Heh, Well, try to take care of your first set best you can. Make sure to practice hard, and get to know how to best use each pick. I believe that this kit comes with a broken key extractor? I'm not quite sure on how to use those, but, still. Have fun, Practice, and Welcome to Lock Picking 101!

I've found several use for it. e.g.: one of the old locks my lockie gave to me had a pice of broken key in it, I broke several picks and needed to remove their remains from the lock,...

This is the set I started with. I pretty much only ever use the small hook. Though recently I found a use for one of the rakes to start off on Yale 5 pin cylinder locks.

It would be a good idea to fill in your location correctly, because any advice people give you may depend on where you are. Locks vary a lot from country to country.

Hey, those are both pretty good uses for a broken key extractor. Especially removing the broken key...
