I reckon I've put more effort into just writing this reply than they put into the promotional images that you attached.

Unknown parent • • •@shaknais I totally recommend getting a desktop vice, like Panavise, to hold your locks. That way you can use both hands more comfortably to hold your tools.
Sparrows sells picks with a rubberized dipped handle that are comfy to hold (I recommend the Tron and High HD profiles).
LawLockTools in the UK sells the line that Tipene(sp) designed, which have oversized handles that are easy to hold.
Though I still recommend Red Team Tools for a good, affordable starter set (and book).

Unknown parent • • •I wouldn't be surprised. 0 reviews and the text details seems intentionally sketchy (or shifty-eyed), implying it is primarily a lock, and there is only one piece with the product specifications only including a padlock key. Alternately, the business owner could be really bad at English and that was the best they could do. Hmmmm? Since I have a character who does pick a lock, I'm sorely tempted because this would be good educational opportunity if real.

in reply to ๐ ฐ๐ ป๐ ธ๐ ฒ๐ ด (๐๐ฆ) • • •I bought one of those! The locks were so loose they opened by themselves.
The picks were halfway decent for as far as I could tell, but I didn't really have anything non-production to test them on.
