I have been eyeballing that one and something tells me it is more of a novelty item than a useful tool. IMHO 8)

They look as if they would work but not very practical and not worth the price.

that looks james bondish for sure, if you're going to want to carry lockpicks around with you but are worried about your local areas rules on it then this seems like a good compromise, although by the looks of them they would be fairly uncomfortable to use. If i had any money i'd buy one. :-)

I gotta make a clarification here. If I were to buy this it would only be for the novelty effect. My fascination with this is the credit card container the picks are housed in.

Find someone who can machine punch actual picks into an actual expired credit card. One time use (you detach the picks from nubs and they can't be re-attached) but still pretty stylish. Might even swipe at the check-out, too.
