Sparrows Competitor, 22 pieces with full-shank handles
The Competitor is a professional twenty-two-piece set with ten handled picks and twelve tension wrenches. The handles use a bonded thermoplastic coating for a permanent non-slip grip, and the full-shank build runs the steel all the way through the handle for extra strength and clearer feedback.

Buy this when feedback through the handle matters
A full-shank handle transmits more of what the pick tip feels, which is exactly what you want during careful single-pin picking. With twelve wrenches you also have the tension width for almost any keyway.
Full-shank strength
Steel runs through the handle for strength and feel.
Twelve wrenches
Tension widths to match nearly any keyway.
Competition case
A fold-out case presents every tool clearly.

Choose the wrench, then the pick
Pick the tension width that gives steady, readable feedback, then work the lock with the matching hook or rake. The full-shank handles make fine single-pin picking easier to feel.
- Use on suitable pin-tumbler locks.
- Match the wrench width to the keyway.
- Lean on the full-shank handles for fine feedback.

Set breakdown: Sparrows Competitor 22 Piece Lock Pick Set + Competition Case
Build and materials: This professional set includes 10 lock picks with handles and 12 different tension wrenches. The handles are made from a thermo-plastic coating that is bonded to the picks resulting in a permanent smooth non sliding grip. It is also a full shank handle (the pick steel goes all the way through the handle not just part way) resulting in greater strength and feed back through the handle.
What each tool does
Twin-Peak
The "Twin-Peak" is most effective on the withdrawal stroke, making it 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.
Worm-Rake
The "Worm-Rake" is designed to emulate as many key bitings as possible when used. This size worm rake is designed for attacking Master, Abus and Schlage Locks.
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.
Small half Diamond
The "Small half Diamond" acts like a wedge while manipulating pins in keyways that are arranged in a manner that disallows a hook-type pick. The half diamond wedges itself under, and sometimes past the pins that are set too low to get a traditional hook under.
Steep
The "Steep Hook" is very similar in effect to the high reach tool, but is intended for very restrictive and tight, high security locks. With its downsized, slender profile, it is also very useful in taller Euro style keyways.
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.
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.
Shallow Euro
The "Shallow Euro" hook is intended for small and restrictive keyways often found in European, and "high security" locks such as Yale and Chubb. The slack curvature and slender profile allows the pick to slide past set pins and through highly restrictive keyways where a standard short hook is too large to do the job.
