I suggest looking for ripoffs or making your own... figures for falle sets are around $300...

i paid like 265 shipped back in aug 06, the case is not fancy though, its just a velcro case, its nice but not fancy. the adjustable tension tools are pretty fancy though but take some getting use to

I really have not heard anything about Falle's picks to make them seem worth the cost. I've tried the replicas and although I admit that it's not the same thing as the authentic set I still didn't like the feel of it. I prefer my custom Peterson pick set. I've spent over $200 on putting my set together and this was worth the cost. Many others here will attest to that I'm sure.

Ive spent way more than that and I agree. I never hear anythign more than average reviews abotu falle picks. I do hear they bend easily though.

They sometimes sell them on eBay. I think db posted a thread about him finding a set on eBay or something a year ago.

I'm pretty sure ebay (I may be wrong) says that it is against selling lock picking tools... I imagine sometimes sets will go under the radar, but I imagine that it would be rare to find a set of picks if they take down the auctions... Maybe if an auction advertised them using the word Falle a lot and not saying picks or lockpicks it may go through... :twisted:

Anyway, I'd rather have some slightly wonky home-made falle hooks that aren't double ended for a few cents each, than pay $300 for the added bonus of a velcro case and tension wrenches... but that's just me... :roll:

Good luck and happy picking
