The short answer:

You will not need a pickgun in this hobby.

The jack knife pick set is a novelty and generally not recommended.

The longer explanation:

A pickgun takes the fun out of the hobby. Being able to manually pick is where the fun comes from. Knowing that you can pick the lock and not just use some automatic tool.

The jack knife pick set is larger and heavier and therefore provides less specific feedback about what's happening in the lock. This means that you really must know what you're doing in order to use them.

Ty for you're response+

Do you recommed lockpicktools.com ?
And would you recommmed the LRCH-30
"do you know lockpicking import is allowed for the duane ???
i hope these are local europe laws then they would be allowed (i know UK people that got lockpicks from it)"

Ty if you can answer these

I don't like lockpicktools.com's web interface, so I have never even bothered to look at their products, so I can't say either way if they are good or not.
The LRCH-30 seems a bit excessive for a first set (correct me if I'm wrong but this is your first set?)

I know nothing about import laws as I live in the US and buy from US based companies. Google is your friend and can help you find the laws.

This isnt me first lockpick set

i got a set from Majestic with 10 picks and 2 tesion wrench's
but i think 10 lockpicks arent much and the case sucks xD (just to little for a set of 13)
an example: http://www.kingofswords.com/Lock-Picks/ ... Pouch.html


And i didt already use Google :p i didt it in a dutch way english way and even french way "when belguim is dutch + french"
i already didt "EN:Belguim lockpick laws /NL:Belgie lockpick wetten /FR: lois crochetage Belgian"

i cant find anything so i suppose it is legal ???

[blackjacker2]

pfff this forum needs a edit button:

btw i dont realy like website but it isnt the website that make's the pick sets does it ? :p
they do need to update it but its enough to be a internet shop for me

[TriannaX]

Good to know it's not your first set. So, ask yourself: what is your current set lacking? What would you like to do that you cannot?

If you find that you have a few favorite picks, then maybe just getting very high quality versions of those would be good.

You got farther than I ever could in the whole googling thing, so I won't be able to help you there.

Ty you very much to help me with those questions

but now someone else plz help me with one more question:
is lockpicktools a great site and shop and quality ???

Have you done a search? search.php?keywords=lockpicktools.com+&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=all&sk=t&sd=d&sr=topics&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search

Have you looked in this thread? viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1423

Some people might only visit the forums once a day, so give it some more time. In the mean time, search and look through the results for what people say about them.

Picks designed for Euro locks will generally say "slimline" or something to that effect.

lockpicktools has their E-series which do what you want:
See: http://www.lockpicktools.com/images/europicks1-400.jpg

E-Series Picks No's 1-6
1E-Euro Slim line offset diamond
2E-Euro Hollow Half Diamond
3E-Euro Straight shank Half Diamond
4E-Euro Slim Line Short Hook
5E-Euro Offset Half Ball
6E –Euro Wave Jiggler

So instead of trusting what everyone here is telling you, you still have doubts and have to go ask the company selling the picks?

I don't think you will ever be satisfied with any answers we give you. You'll just keep asking the same questions worded slightly differently to see if you get a better answer from different people.

and people wonder why I'm such a prick to n00bs...
