I have only been picking locks for a couple of weeks now. I bought the video with my first set of lock picks last week. I think it is great, especially for a newbie like myself. There's plenty of basic info along with a few bypass methods. It was very helpful getting me started.

Between the DVD and this forum, I have learned so much.

The video was good, I learned a few new things. The cutaway's were great.

I felt it sort of lost its pace towards the end, with the repinning of the cylinder... that part seemed to take forever.

i like the dvd. i'm just starting out and it's given me some good ideas like using a straight pick on padlocks and the 175 bypass.

I went to a gun show in Columbus OH during the weekend and I saw Dave showing a group of off duty policemen how to pick locks and how fast he could open handcuffs. I am not sure how many of them bought the DVD or picksets but he had one of the guys raking open a kwickset and the club in no time. I got the DVD, 5 piece Southord set and a set of Auto jigglers. I learned a lot just watching different lockpicking techniques on the cutaway lock. I have raked spool pin locks open before but watching it on the video seem to give me a better feel for it.

I see nothing wrong with his use of Southord tools. Companies regularly compensate for the use of their products. when you watch a movie and see a specific product being used, you can bet that the company paid for the usage. Dave explained his usage of Southord earlier in this thread.

are the best on the market for their price. Yes the Falle set from MBA
(Mark Bates & Associates) is better but good luck getting it if you're
not a locksmith and if you do it will certainly lighten your wallet way
more than a set from southord.

yeah i understand that but in the middle of the presentation he's like, watch as i bend this southord pick and then bend it back demonstrating that it will last for life, i thought that was really unnecessary.

well i thought he was just demonstrating the durability of the picks. no big issues there.

it was a bit much in my opinion

by **cjames73** » 16 Feb 2007 20:35

and your entitled to give your personal opinion.

so other than the SO plugs you like the dvd?
i think it's a very good dvd for a beginner especially the parts with the cutaways.

it is very interesting. as said earlier, the cutaway lock clips are good. they give you a better understanding on how the lock works.
for a sport lockpicker maybe theres too much info on this dvd :shock:
