Any experiences dealing with newsparkling?

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

Any experiences dealing with newsparkling?

This vendor seems to have some interesting products, has anyone had any experiences getting products from them? If so, how were your experiences?

I've not bought from them, but I have used some of their picks. Overall quality is not that great, but the upfront price seems pretty decent. Seems to me the shipping cost was pretty ugly, though I don't remember for sure.

The automotive tools they offer look like a pile of garbage to me, but hey, maybe when China finnaly introduces their vehicles to the U.S. market we can give some of their tools a try with confidence.

the 13 song key readers and picks sold by new sparkling are excellent and currently the best tools available at present, and these are almost £100 cheaper from new sparkling than from all uk wholesalers, and the quality is to notch on these.

the other auto tools are very usefull, the vag tools are excelent and cheap and well worth the price charged for them.

he ships and packs well and i have had no problems with them, worth it for me on the 13 song tools alone.

Wow, guess I was wrong. The pictures of some of the toyota keys was lacking buttons so I was skeptical.

So where do you find out the prices? I couldn't find anything anywhere on that site that showed anything about prices or shipping.

if you e-mail them they should send a price list.
