Looks like a decent set, though i'd go for a MPXS set (southord) from lockpickshop.com, just my opinion. As for spring vs stainless, there are a number of threads already if you search, but just cause I'm nice, try this:

It is acceptable. I noticed there is no half diamond pick which I find useful. On the other hand, not to confuse you; it is certainly an acceptable starter and if you get hooked plenty of time to buy additional picks and wrenches.

i agree with dragunov.
personnally i would go with a southord one, cause you have another kind of tension wrench, and I personally dont like this kind of tension but thats me

[Dragunov-21]

Ok, so from lockpickshop.com, these are what you can get for a kinda similar price:

http://www.lockpickshop.com/MPXS-08.html is $30 - 8pce set, unfortunately no deep hook.

http://www.lockpickshop.com/PXS-14.html is $27 - 14pce - 10 picks, 4 tension wrenches, everything you need.

http://www.lockpickshop.com/MPXS-14.html is $40 - 14pce, as above, with metal handles. These are the ones I own, they haven't failed me yet. The handles do make a hell of a difference.

Hope this helps.

Sorry to double post, but if money is an issue, go to the "Lockpicks - Manual" forum and read the sticky "Shrub's Guide to Lockpick Making".

wich one do you guys think is betteR?

granted with the top one you get more then the one on the bottom for the same price

I would go with the top one made by South Ord. The bottom one looks way too similar to the pick tools made by A-1 and those things are crap.

They have something like a chrome or nickel plating on the metal that will eventually chip and flake away and make the tools look all nasty and cheap. My shop has a bunch of them and they're all messed up.

What about the 17 piece kit?
