There’s a lot of talk at the moment of various
Dedicated Dimple Pick Sets, all with their own differences
and similarities. One of the least favourable similarities
being cost, with some of the sets being touted around
for and above £90! As usual we thought we could
do better on this and sourced this interesting set of
dedicated dimple picks.
What you get is what you see, an interesting take
on the dimple problem by way of ‘lever-like’
picks that you insert and turn. Specially formed to ‘run
the grooves’ of a wide range of dimple locks and
therefore be ‘placed’ ready to ‘tilt
& turn’ (this is the name we’ve given
to the technique these picks lend themselves to).
The wrenches at first seem a bit heavy-handed but are
strangely appropriate for the job and although we initially
opted for our SouthOrd wrenches, soon decided the strangeness
of the wrenches suited the strangeness of the picking
action, funny that!
This is an interesting set that will undoubtedly equip
the dimple lock picker with a new range of tools for his
chosen frustration. As you can see in the picture each
set comes complete with various ‘screw-in’
picks (double ended holder (pictured) supplied) as well
as some really nice ‘finger-paddle’ type picks
which have a really nice feel when in use.
One of the picks is a dimple rake! Although nowhere
near as successful as when raking standard pin-tumblers,
it’s very good for getting a couple of pins out
of the way before you start picking proper.
You won’t find a set of dimple picking tools as
quirky, useful, and value for money as these and UK Bump
Keys is more than happy to add them to our list.
