KwickPick

Hello

I wanna to ask you something. I have traditional lockpick set ;) but I would like to buy a KwickPick from this page
http://www.lockpickshop.com/page/LPS/PROD/KwickPick

Is it good? How easy is to pick locks with it? And how fast?

Alex

It would be as fast as if you had a regular rake, except about 10 times more expensive.

judging from that this is your "first post," I'd pressume that this is to be your first purchase/ or at least that you are a beginner (me trying to be a fortune teller :)

I'd reccomend the 11 piece or 17 piece or even the 5 piece over the kwick pick. Does it even come with a tension wrench? Its one pick (rake) in a pen-looking case. The 5 piece even has more and you'll use it again and again, whereas i guarentee you'l be replacing th KwickPick with a manual set. Another option is to make your own picks, and the best refernce for this is the Pyro1234321 movie made by Pyro1234321, a member of this site:

I have already bought 10+4 piece, but I dont have any good guide (besides MIT), and I cant practice...
I know the basics, but I need someone to show me.

And i thought that this will be more efficient that wrenches

How could you be unable to practice?

The Kwik-Pick also requires the use of a tension wrench.

Also, you don't need any guides other than the MIT.

What kinds of locks DO you have in croatia? Manufacturers websites, pictures, anything would be helpful. THe MIT guide was designed to teach the basics of pin tumbler and wafer lock picking. Proficiency at these locks is what will be helpful when picking other styles of lock.

The KwickPick is primarily designed for the US market, and even more so for locks that require the absolute minimum of skill to pick.

Integ,

I thought you just ordered your first picks yesterday? (See: viewtopic.php?p=18385)

It just occurred to me that I didn't really answer the question. I don't like the Kwickpick because the designer seemed to care more about durability than precision. Everything is too thick. IF you're willing to do some modification, it's a decent tool, but probably the worst (least versatile) of the pocket picks.

The tension wrench is the clip on the KwikPick tool. Personally I think it's way too bulky to be 'pocketsized.' Check out the southord folding jackknife set though, that's a good investment.
