Eventronic Lock Picking Kit, 36-Piece Lock Pick Set with 4 Transparent Training Locks and Manual and Zip Case for Lockpicking, Extractor Tool for Beginner and Locksmith Training(Orange)

Did the trick. Opened a heavy duty padlock that I’d lost the keys for. 5 minutes of fiddling around

It was a bit of fun to learn, the locks are a good quality while being clear, it let's you see the individual pins while having a range of picks so you can see how different things fit in the locks and affect pins to find the best way to open it. It helped me open some bits at work to change the locks instead of getting a locksmith out, great value

Great quality locks and picks. Very easy to use, some of the "covers" from the locks could be a little bigger to hide more of what's going on.Great value for money to pick up a hobby or just to see how locks work.Within the fist hour I had managed to successfully open one of the locks a few times.The booklet is useful but there are hundreds or youtube tutorials if you need more guidance.

as a beginner lockpicker i cant say much, as any issue i may have faced could be an issue of my own skill.what i will say is that the build quality of most of the things in this set is good for the price. the cases especially are very nice. the lock visibility shields are also made of rubber and are a small bit fragile, so that is something to keep in mind.i also found the padlock very easy to open with the gold handle double sided rake, though i might have just gotten very lucky with the pin arrangement.

The media could not be loaded. Have been quite intrigued about lock picking for a while and had even managed to pick a brass padlock at home using paper clips but fancied giving it a "proper" go by getting a pick set.Opted for this one due to the 4 training locks and range of picks included, but waited for the promo price of £19.99.If you've no idea how locks work, I'd say this kit (and many similar ones) with transparent locks are great to gain an understanding. That being said, you can easily gain as much insight via online videos.In picking the locks it is helpful to see the pins lift inside, however the locks themselves aren't great quality and feel you don't get great tactile/audible feedback as you pick them so as a learning tool they feel quite limiting - in only about 3 picking sessions I did manage to learn to pick all 4 locks (repeatedly and consistently).Also, despite the locks being transparent, holding the locks and seeing the pins at the same time can be very difficult, so almost negates the benefit of them being transparent to some extent...The range of picks is nice, though I feel the wave rake and the two single hooks are probably the most useful.Although you get 5 turning tools they are all for bottom of the keyway tensioning (as opposed to top of the keyway) so aren't as versatile as "FIVE TENSION TOOLS" would lead you to think. Also 3 of them are the same.Furthermore regarding the tension tools, they're all a bit too large to practically pick the 4 way lock. I did manage it, but purely because the pinning on this lock actually means you only need to pick two sides, not 4, so you can actually block off either of the other rows of pins and it doesn't cause an issue, if the lock were pinned differently though I don't know how you could tension the lock cylinder and not block access to each of the 4 rows of pins with the tension tools included in this kit...I feel getting a less expensive kit without any practise locks and using the money saved to get a few cheap off the shelf padlocks (or even a cutaway lock such as those by the Dangerfield brand) would make for a better learning experience if you truly want to learn and improve at picking rather than just learning to pick 4 easy low quality plastic locks...

I recently ordered a second set as a present. I still think they're great value and my original review (below) still stands:I'd say this is excellent value for money if you're a complete novice like me, i.e. you don't have a clear idea of how a pin tumbler lock works. In that case the three locks in this kit will quickly show you the basics. As other reviewers have said, you won't learn a great deal more because they are so easy to pick, so you'll need to supply your own locks if you want to progress. The manual supplied has some helpful diagrams but the text is useless. Try the many excellent YouTube videos instead.After a couple of hours of practice you should be able to deal with cheap padlocks, bike locks, cash boxes and window locks, even if they take a long time. Picking good-quality locks is much harder and will take a lot of practice – but this hobby is clearly addictive. I think this kit would make a great gift for anyone over the age of 10.From what I've read so far I think the tools are of reasonable quality. The steel is springy and extremely hard. They have sharp edges, so you should really clean them up with fine sandpaper. I think the handles mimic those on Peterson picks, which cost about US$8 each. It's a good way to decide which tools you need before investing in better-quality ones later.All the picks are 0.7 mm (0.027 in.) thick. "Standard" US picks seem to be 0.025 in. and some European locks seem to have a reputation for needing narrower picks (0.020 in. / 0.5 mm), so I guess these are going to be too wide for some locks.In the set are 3 hooks (including a very square one that probably has its own name), 2 half diamonds; 1 snowman, 1 broken key remover, 1 city rake, 2 Bogota-type rakes, 1 snake-type rake and 1 small rake whose name I don't know. I'd like to see a review by someone who knows what they're on about.The tension wrenches are a bit basic, and I struggled to use them at the top of the keyway on the real locks I've tried. If I were to buy (or make) more tools I'd probably start with those.

Perhaps not the kit for a serious lock picking enthusiast but a good starter, with plenty of transparent practise locks to play with.Fun.

Great
