At least the SO jack knife pick set isn't like the Dyno Kwick Pick. That was the first pick tool I bought and I can tell it was designed to be a rip off. The instructions tells you that in order to pick a lock with this tool, you have to push the entire pin stack up into the shell. Saymour is still fortunate that he got a more decent pick tool than what I started with and he has this site to learn from.

You're absolutely right. Like I said I did not star with a jackknife and I do not recommend it as the tool to start out with.

I would not sell it. I would but it in my tool box and then get some real picks.. some day that jack knife will come in handly.. I dont toss or sell nothing really.. yes my house is full of junk.. but I have all kinds of cool things..
I have some picks that i have no clue what type of lock it would even work on.. but i kept it.. and some day it will come in handy.
keep your tools. theres never to many.. and one day after you master a pick set... go back to your jack knife and.. play around with it..
the day you understand why you should of got a real set is the day you will be able to use that jack knife. you have to understand feelings.. and with the jack.. its harder. but still totally do-able. I am actually seeking a jack knife at the moment, I think they are cool and very compact. a nice tool for a hobby guy. but not real great for a locksmith

The jacknife is not a bad pickset but is too expensive ,fall's apart in your pocket as the screw work's loose but in use the worst problem is changing pick's is impossible.A small pickset from HPC or southord is a must for starting out even if you plan on making your own in the future.That said it work's and is worth keeping as a novelty.
