Hey
http://www.lockpickshop.com/C500.html
I'm about to buy the pick set above but when i did research on it I've found that it can only open a few locks... is this because the lack of picks or lack of tension wrenches...
I can make more tension wrenches or buy them if i need to... so is this worth getting... I'm also just starting... I don't know if ill get bored of picking locks or not so... should i get this?

this is also where it says i can only open few locks

If your not sure of this hobby, that is a good set for you.

And its a good set, IMHO for beginners.
This basic Euro/Japanese lock pick set includes all four basic lock pick designs - hook, ball, diamond, and rake, all with metal handles, plus a tension tool,
Thats all you really need anyways,...

It doesn't open anything, YOU do ;)
I would suggest this set to begin with as well. If you notice you get stuck with a lock because a tension wrench doesn't fit, then you'll know what you need to get it to work. The same goes for picks and small key ways ;)

Have fun with this great hobby ;)
