any one bought from www.stdowns.co.uk

Well, my first question to you would be as to which one of these tools are you looking at getting. Some of their tools look as though you can make them rather quickly with just a coat hanger. And all of the other ones seem to be a little over priced. They do have some things that I haven't seen before. and picks for lever locks do seem to be of higher quality. But I think i'd shop around first. A sponsor of this site, and a highly recommended site to order from (enter lp101 into the coupon box on the order form and receive 10% off), is:

i've always liked lockpicks.com. they have a nice selection and reasonable prices, and their shipping is super fast. i usually get orders three days later. their customer service is top-notch too. i once ordered a pick set they didn't have in stock, and they called to offer me a rain check with a discount, or to upgrade to a nicer set at the same price. (I opted for the nicer set!)

These manual pickguns are excellent on both pin and wafer type locks.

Now ive heard it all,

Nothing seems of high quality, some of the prices are quite competative and others a bit much, never heard of them,

The first thing that caught my eye was the $34 bump key set, and you only get 4 bump keys.

They cover up the trip wires and say restricted

Those magestics look neat though, was that bud who said there handles are alluminum and not steal?.. bad memory sorry mates

Ive got a small set of majestics, they are indeed alloy handles, nasty picks, dont use them and on the very few occasions i have (i keep them in my coat pocket as an emergency set) ive taken twice as long to get the job done than i would with good tools,

But its each to their own, Bud likes them and thats fair enough im sure loads of others do, ive recently broken two of those picks as well on the same job in 30 seconds of each other,
