The hard to purchase Falle safe picks!!

[Rubix]

I need a set of Falle safe picks, can anyone tell me where to buy? I hear if you pay extra you can purchase them - but where from????

[macaba]

Any reason why you would need Falle picks? Why not have Southord, or if you are really fussy, go for Rytan or HPC. That was your first post so i don't know if you are a newbie or locksmith. But if you are a newbie, Falle-safe stuff won't improve your learning anymore than a Southord or Rytan kit will. The Falle-safe stuff is worth it for an experianced locksmith, who will know HOW to use it to make life easier.

I'm _not_ a newbie, and I loves my tools, and even I can't see paying ten or twenty times as much for Falle Safe picks.

I only wanted to Know where I might purchase a set of Falle safe - I intend to try many makes and types of picks, I am not loyal to any make. when I find the set that is best for me my decision will be based on proformance and quality- not price. I suppose if they are the cheaper type - all well and good, but from my experience with any kind of tool cheap is usually dear! although there are a few exeptions. I will also try the makes suggested. I was drawn to Falle safe picks as I noticed they were unlike other picks in shape, Maybe someone could comment as to why??

There is no such thing as "performance". Home made picks are generally
better than anything you can buy. think "optimisation"

Rubix the Falle-Safe picks were designed to give better pin lifting control. You are supposed to rest the pick on the bottom of the keyway and use them like a lever. I honestly can't see them being terribly useful on most locks since you need a fairly straight keyway to use them as they were intended.

Just to throw in my $0.02 don't forget about Peterson picks. I love mine and they are not expensive. They are also very useful since they can be bent and straightened without damage. They also make one of the nicest cases I have ever found.

And just to represent the opposing side, I far prefer storebought picks.

Rubix I would suggest just worrying about picks you can buy. If you are not a locksmith you have to deal with the fact you can not get all the tools.

These tools are kinda unique shape, I see this being good for some locks and not others. The tension tools is what makes falle picks nice.

There are a large number of quality picks that seem to be available to the public like the rytans, hpc, south ords just to name a few.

Again like always I have not tried this stuff myself it is just based on heresay.

Let us know how you go Rubix.

Thanks for the input - I will let you know what happens.

Those are only 6 of the large number of picks in the Falle set. The most useful ones, in my opinon, are the hook picks. The hooks seem to have a unique size and shape that, for me, works better than anything else.

Also, and this is why most people want the Falle kit, the torque tools are simply unmatched especially for picking security pins.

You can get the picks from here http://www.safeventures.com/ but you would need to be in the trade, interesting site though especially the electronic safe cracker that hooks up to a lap top.

omg the guy asked where to buy a set of picks, after that its no ones business if he wants to spend his earnings on them instead of meat, or if those picks are this and that... sheesh give him a break instead of flaming the crap outa him.... all he asked was where to buy them, not for big lectures

[Chucklz]

Take it easy, there was no flaming going on here, just some discussion on caveats.

Discussion on caveats that's almost three months old. If you're going to get upset, feel free, but it'll probably work better if you do it on something current.
