Set breakdown: If you are interested in learning how to pick locks then this nine piece set is for you. This is the set we'd have wanted if we could go back in time to when we started lock picking. You're ready to both Single Pin Pick (SPP) and Rake.
Good to know: With these four professional grade picks and some instruction you will be able to start opening padlocks and door locks with only a few hours of practice. This set also includes six tension wrenches of various sizes. One of the most important skills you will learn is proper tension; it is the key to successful lock picking. With this set you will be able to lean how to pick a lock in a no time at all.
Build and materials: All lock picks are manufactured by Sparrows out of American Made 301 Cold Max steel with average tension strength of 280,000 PSI.
Pick by pick
What each tool does
Standard short
The "Standard short hook" or lifter is the first "go-to" pick in the arsenal. This pick is more versatile and is used more often than any other pick. It is designed to let the picker feel of the intricacies of the lock and manipulate pins individually. When the pick is used in a raking type technique it is also possible to work several pins at the same time. This pick is good for a wide range of keyway types, and pinning arrangements.
City Rake
The "City Rake" is a standard rake that has proven to be indispensable over the years. This pick does a fantastic job of emulating the key bitings found among most common commercial and residential locks such as Kwikset, Weiser and Master.
Offset Hybrid
The "Offset Hybrid" is a combination of a shallow hook, and a rounded half diamond. The wedge-like point and specially rounded bottom edge slides through the keyway. With the pick acting as a centered fulcrum you will find that this pick has extremely smooth and controlled lifts. This is critical for locks like ASSA.
Triple-Peak
The "Triple-Peak" is used on the withdrawal stroke and is one of the most effective rakes available. It differs from a traditional rake in the way it functions by using a "ramping" effect similar to bumping. Similar to the double peak with different spacing.
