Peterson Pro 1 Lock pick (the ultimate lock pick)worth $315?

by **Noid** » 28 Dec 2006 3:44

Just as stated I want to know if its well worth the 315.00 it cost? I already have the Southord 7 and 8 pin which i can open up most locks I come to face with,, however it would be nice just to carry around one lock pick to get the 7 and 8 pins open. Ive also seen another lock that looks like a tubular however the pins are more exposed and set up, I believe in a star pattern or maybe and octagon and Was wondering if this pick would be able to tackle it. Im trying to look for pictures of this lock but since i do not no the name of it, i havent had any luck

Are you a locksmith?

Probably not!

Curious as to whether or not he'd even show his face. Could be legit, but......

We all know which one you are referring to, but we are questioning why you are needing to "carry" them around with you in the first place.

To answer your question "is it worth it?"

It depends. I have one and love it when I go on a call for a tubular lock. I've also got an HPC that works very well also but is about half the price. A close friend uses on from A1 that looks like it came from a cereal box, but he loves it and it works great for him.

I have 3 slot machines( not good ones seem to be from china) and when moving about a year ago mis-placed the keys,, 2 were 7 pin locks and one was a star looking tubular lock,, the pins were exposed really good if that helps explain.. (would take a pic of it however I only have camera phone at the moment) and anyways my buddy has the southord 7 pin lock pick and told me he has been sucessfull with most of the locks he has encountered however both my slot machines that were 7 pins stumped him and they are keyed differently. He couldn't even take a go at my star looking tubular lock. He let me barrow his pick and told me that I could play around with it, and if I was able to get it open that I should tighten the nut to save the pattern which would enable me to bring it to a locksmith so he could cut a key for me. I tried for about a straight hour and had no luck with eigther. ( I have been able to pick other locks with his pick prior) I was thinking that If I were to buy the peterson Pro 1 lock pick that I would be able to open all three locks and get keys made for them. I think the lock that I have been calling a star lock is what they call an octagon pattern however I would be able to distinguish the lock instantly if someone were to post a picture of it.

Call a locksmith. 300$ is a lot of money to shell out just because you want to get your 3 tubular slot machines open. This seems a litle fishy to me. Spending 300$ when a locksmith could come for 100$ at the most and change the locks and give you new keys. Mabe I am wrong.

by **Noid** » 29 Dec 2006 1:15

Because my great distance to the nearest locksmith the price is not so overwhelming if I were to buy this pick. I also do not have such a vehical that I can bring the slot machines to a locksmith.

by **bumpit** » 29 Dec 2006 2:20

I would still suggest the locksmith come to you because what happens if you buy a 300$ tool and you still can not pick the lock. I would say go for it if you had more intrests in picking tubular locks but if it does not work then you might end up paying 800$ instead of 300-400$.

We're sorry Noid, but your story is just not credible. Without trying to insult you personally, we do have to consider the risk that you're just a random kid trying to break into vending machines. You give this away with your middleschool/highschool vocabulary, and your remarks about a friend that had trouble breaking into... er, I mean, opening things.

You have too many excuses for being unable to contact a bonafide locksmith. You don't even have a car or a camera.

You're on your own.

And to save you the trouble of working out the math, yes, you could probably cover the cost of this tool after breaking into 15 or 20 vending machines, but the tool is no substitute for the expert lockpicking skills required to use it. You'll end up spending 30 to 180 minutes fiddling around in front of a Coke machine with a huge tool that police can see from 50 yards away. It's not worth the risk. By the time you break into enough machines to pay off the tool, there will be a lot of media attention surrounding the recent robberies and your picture will appear on TV from a surveillance camera. Don't think for a second your family wouldn't turn you in.

I dont think i can add to that,

Buy a $20 tubular lock drill and buy 3 new locks it will be far far cheaper,

As regards calling a lockie out and the prticve and distance thing? lol give me a break, Â£300 to travel 50 miles for 5 mins work is more than enough to get you a local lockie over,

The peterson needs some skill to use and isnt like the cheaper ones, the octigon lock is covered however when you buy additional tips which are on top of the price,
