Hello all, I'm new and need help.

First of all I'd like to say hello to everyone.
Formalities out of the way here is where I need help. The problem lies with my location. I live in England (in the UK) and when I try and look for advice on buying starter picks they are either based in the US or don't state. I would like to ask whether I should invest in a PXS-14 https://www.lockpickshop.com/PXS-14.html set for use as a starter kit. I have looked into reviews and it is very very positive as a starter kit however I have no clue whether it would be good for use in England.

Additionally I know many of you would suggest making my own kit but I would feel better getting a premade kit, I am still open to suggestions though :)

Thanks!!

Hello,

That's a good starter set, but in the UK you can buy locally from Storm Lock Picks or Mad Bob although Mad Bob just got some great reviews and sold out of literally everything this week.

I suggest asking mad bob about the length of the queue before deciding.
