Need a kit

Postby Rattamahatta » 19 Sep 2004 13:23

Hey guys...i'm new here, and i'm also new at lockpicking. I was hoping one of you veterans could help me choose a good kit to start off with...money isnt really a problem, as long as its not over 200 dollars...but I'd like to get a kit that would be good for a beginner, but also good enough that i wouldnt have to buy another one right away. If any of you think you can help me out, i'd appreciate it.

Go to www.lockpickshop.com choose a set, and when you go to order make sure to use LP101 as your coupon code.

Also, you can go to www.lockpicks.com and choose from a fine selection there.

Dont get anything too big. A smaller set will be better until you discover if this is for you or not. I recomend handled picks, but the choice is yours of course.

I have seen both a MPXS and a PXS set. What would be the difference between the two?

The MPXS sets have handles, whereas the PXS sets do not.
