Car opening kit on Ebay

I thought Ebay had a policy of not allowing picks or bypass tools to be sold

Yeah I agree. the absolutely useless. You'd be better off making you own rods out of a coat hanger!

Oh yes ebay have a lot of restrictions and locksmiths tools are not allowed although some do slip through the net it all depends on how they are described as I have bought and sold such items on there.

To report a banned item just go through there A-Z index and find the relevant information and follow the links.

This is one of there latest offerings and maybe of interest to someone.

If you really want these car opening tools...look for the local Snap-On dealer and ask for the YA-801 kit (I think)....they dont have restrictions I think on who they will sell to...and they are not contravening any laws, I believe as they are delivering the goods personally.

Im quite surprised at the number of drill template kits for sale on ebay and cant understand how you can sell drill temps but not picks, as anyone can drill a lock but it takes some skill to pick a lock. Also bump keys being sold as so called depth keys, I mean come on what good are 3 depth keys :shock:

Not everyone can drill locks out even with templates some locksmiths out there cant tell one lock from another.If you cant recognize the lock your drilling blind and wasting your time.

I dont get what the big deal is when people can buy this stuff from other sites anyway. Unless laws are brought out to stop the sale of these tools to the general public theres not much point really.
