Recommendation by previous purchasers is the best way to quality, for price and quality what would be your choice?
Has anyone been lucky enough to buy a job lot off a retiring locksmith? that would be the way to go, any retiring locksmiths please pm me :wink:

Well, I guess that depends on what you are after...
Try to be more specific and take a look at the FAQ, there is a thread dedicated to buying picks and more. :wink:

The best UK site to check out is probably:

www.locksmiths-tools.co.uk

or an American site:

www.lockpics.com.

These are both pritty good for basic tools.

Good Luck :o

I bought a load of stuff from Citysafe at the MLA meet in Bournmouth, all with a lovely discount, got a nice dual cutting machein as well (well worth the money i may add). Citysafe have been great whilst ive been setting up and stock all your basic tools.
Keyprint are also good and if you open an account will send you monthly special offers on tools and equipment.
