Hey Chris

I purchased the complete set of CB pocket curtain picks just befor Christmas, and since then the BS locks have started to fall open. I had a few teathing problems to start with, but with alot of practice and some excellent tips and advice they are rearly starting to work for me now.

I cant personally recomend them highly enough :D

The prices were listed on the website the last time i looked, but if they have dissapeared for some reason, let me know and i can pm you the details :D

Yes it is the RPCP and the prices are on his website here - http://www.chrisbelcher.com/page24.php?type=1

You will have to purchase separate picks, 5g, 7g and any other you want, or at least something like a 5g pick and a 7g stem & collar.

You will also get all the after sales care, tips and advice you will need from Chris too on its use, so no worries there.

If you can only afford one go for the 5G its the most common.

What ever you decide also consider the Max wire its a fantastic addition to the standard wire and open's some locks a hell of a lot quicker. Well at least that is what I found. On some unions and legge's :D
There is always a solution to a problem and a way in without destruction !!!!!

Panalman is right I have found the max wire better on the unions, it is a good adition to your kit, and i find it better for dealing with the low leavers :D

yet im oposite, i prefer the original wire that came with pick to max wire, i believe it more down to personal preference, like most picks, though if you have a heavier hand then the max wire is for you.

Would you all say that cb pick can open most(95%) of bs locks?

A wise choice sir, i dont think you will be dissapointed :wink:

It does take alot of practice. I dont know if you have used any other curtain picks but i found Chris's pick to take a while to get used to. Its also best to start to start with something simple like a Union2101or a Chubb 3G115 as these will give you a good feel for the tool, and work your way up from there.

Atleast thats been working well for me so far!

Good luck,
Put in the time and you will get results :wink:

3U115 even. A 3G115 is a bit difficult to kick off with!
