Credit Card Pick Set and FREE "How to pick cylinder locks" guide

Nice kit to keep in the pocket for those unknown emergencies

Arrived quickly and with an unexpected but good introductory leaflet about cylinder lock picking from Walker Locksmiths. The tools worked without having much experience on a door lock (not Yale but similar) and an office drawer. Too much force will bend the tools (if so, something is done wrong anyway); the torsion wrench is delicate to handle (what do you expect at this size); the whole thing is standard credit card size, but 4 times as thick, 2mm +-. Given the price it's worth it. PS: At one moment in the past I was wondering what a minimal lock picking set could look like -- and this is it: a torsion wrench, a rake, a hook, a diamond, and .. eh .. how is that wiggly thing called ??

For the money, this is a great little carry around kit. The tools need a little once over with some sand paper to get them to move freely within the lock but this is the case with any commercial pick set. Personally I would file, sand down the profile of the hook as it is too deep and too wide for most European locks. Also the tension wrench could do with some cutting back on the body so the wrench end slides deeper into the lock, as I found it kept flying out when I had a little play, but really I'm picking at straws ( pardon the pun ), for six quid this is a great little carry kit. Buy it!

For the price what do you expect. It's ok. I wish it stayed together because it just falls apart and the tools go everywhere. Its a fun idea.

Very soft steel, 2 of the pics bent very easily with very little pressure.

It's not often you get to feel like JAMES FREAKING BOND! The little kit is very simple but very functional also. It comes with a guide which I didn't spend any time reading (for shame) but I was able to successfully open a simple lock using the kit. The kit fits nicely in my wallet, so I can conveniently use it when ever the need arises, given I have my wallet on me! I'm not a seasoned lock-picker, but for a beginning set, I think I could of found much much worse. The individual components are all thin pieces of metal in various shapes, but they have been machined well. The only annoyance is that the little pieces of metal can 'overflow' out of the compartments that they are meant to sit in, but this can be forgiven as it is all in aid of keeping a low profile on the container for the set.

Ok, this is a "cool" thing to own, even better if you're not paying. I have bought 2 of these one for each of my brother-in-law. They will be used at Christmas as stocking fillers. They sit opposite each other every year and I have decided to buy a second gift and lock this in a box with a padlock on each side. This will be placed on the dinner table, the idea is that the person that is able to remove the padlock first gets the second gift from inside the box. Now the bad, it's not that great to look at, the packaging is minimal and the instructions are as helpful as a chocolate teapot, it's too thick to live in your wallet. But you are still reading so clearly want one so BUY one!!

I know someone who has one of these and its handy and easy to carry but after ordering it was delivered to a location unknown to me and I don't know what's became of it
