Pick kit to start with?

[OhioGuy12]

I'm new to lock picking. Can someone recommend a good pick kit to start with? I like this one because it's covertly disguised as a pen, but is this a sufficient kit for use on most common locks? And is $40 about what you'd expect to pay on a pick kit or should I look for a cheaper one?

I've seen the pen pick set and while it's pretty, it's not as functional as a simple pick set should be

Have you used this kit? That's a lot cheaper than the pen pick set and the transparent padlock is really cool. I may just buy this one!

Never tried that exact kit but I've used many of the picks shown

I order it, so we shall see. I think it will be a good learning kit. Thanks for your recommendation!

If you want a small set of high-quality tools, I suggest the Multipick ELITE Minimum Pick Set. I would avoid products using any other form factor to keep every component replaceable. You pay for what you get with locksmith tools.
