The Double Bump Rake Pick will open many padlocks, master etc. Use the too much coffee jiggle and they open right up. Your padlocks.

Not really.

Go with a standard set like THIS one. Working on your feel is of the essence when you're just beginning. The pick you have chosen will hardly give you proper feedback for learning.

As for the number of tools you have, don't worry about it. You'll probably end up using only one or two rakes, the diamond, the hook (hopefully) and one wrench. Mabey You'll use the double ball if you encounter a wafer. That would be it... it's simmilar for the beginners as well as for the more experianced lockpickers.

Of course I'm not saying that it's impossible to learn with a tool like that one, but I am saying that it definately isn't easier.

Good luck and Cheers on the New Years Eve.

Brotha if your locked out or think you are hide a key or two around in a not obvious place.

The lockpick you showed is poorly made, no demensions given. Or jsut ask budwiser he bought one and hated it.

As always use the search. But just get a 13 peice set. Its small cheap and southord makes decent picks.
