Some of my picks

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

Amazing set. I'd say I'm jealous but half of those tools would be wasted on me. Feel free to post close ups. :D

I hope this doesn't sounds like a brad, and I do indeed appreciate that's a nice kit on display there, but isn't that quite a normal array of tools to posess? I have a similar stash of bits, not to munch other lock compromising kit such as shims etc and find I use the majority of it all quite regularly? Perhaps it is just that in the UK we dont' really have any "standard" locks so always need to be equiped for any eventuallity?

I only ask out of interest I promise. :)

There are two reasons for all of this tool envy.

First off it is as you have said. In Britain there really aren't any standard locks, and you do need a larger array of tools.

Secondly, because menay of our users are hobbiests, they don't have such an array. Despite knowing about them, and wanting them, they just don't have them.

I know how they feel.

Ah, well that I guess makes perfect sence :)

I made it a rule of my "hobby" that whenever I mastered using a particular specilist tool, I would purchase another. (but this I don't obviously mean hand picks, but for example a particular decorder, or new style wrench). Means buying something ever month or so, which can usually be absorbed into not going out drinking that one less evening a week :)

I think that any lock picking hobbiest would absolutly love to take your set, it is the absolute best i have ever seen.

You have enough picks that you can open any lock i've ever seen without any trouble.

That set could be put in a museum as one of the biggest ever.

I would say that i'd give an arm or a leg for that set but i need both my arms for Picking and my legs for the hours of standing making the picks.

i also like your policy of once you master one thing you buy another, if i had a bigger money supply i would do the same thing but being i down i make a new one about every 2 weeks

you could probably sell one of those sets for about 300-500$.

If i had enough money i'd ask you to make me one.
