Lock Pick Set, Eventronic 17-Piece Lock Picking Tools with 2 Clear Practice and Training Locks for Lockpicking, Extractor Tool for Beginner and Pro Locksmiths

I recently purchased this lock picking kit for my aspiring junior detective, and it's been an unexpected delight! Here's the lowdown on why it's a game-changer: Pros: 1. **Educational Fun:** Forget video games – this lock picking kit is like a hands-on puzzle that teaches problem-solving and patience. My little one is mastering the art of unlocking while developing critical thinking skills. 2. **Quality Tools:** The kit comes with sturdy, kid-friendly tools that aren't flimsy. It's like introducing them to a mini locksmith workshop (or jnr prison break?), minus the locksmith license! 3. **Parental Bonding:** Who knew lock picking could be a bonding experience? It's become a family affair, and I get to share my "wisdom" on the art of unlocking (while secretly learning from my pint-sized prodigy). Cons: 1. **Supervision Required:** While it's fantastic for skill development, keep an eye on your little lock picker. It's not a set-it-and-forget-it activity – safety first! 2. **Missing "Mission Impossible" Soundtrack:** Okay, maybe that's just a personal wish, but wouldn't it be awesome to have some spy music playing in the background? In summary, if you're looking to foster curiosity, patience, and a touch of spy intrigue in your child, this lock picking kit is a winner. Just don't be surprised if they start offering to unlock your doors – they're mastering the art faster than you think! 🔐🕵️‍♂️

Great kit and contents, instructions could be a lot better though.

Being using these as training sets for a number of years, little too thick for out in the field or lock sport without thinning down however for the price, ideal for training with (breaking and bending) until learners get the methodology in picking locks then a better set would be advised.

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...

Alles dabei, was man benötigt.

Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo, gli strumenti sembrano avere una buona resistenza e l'avere a portata un lucchetto trasparente fa comodo per capire il meccanismo. Forse poca varietà nei ferri per tensionare, alcuni sembrano identici, e il lucchetto incluso è veramente troppo semplice: per via delle tolleranze esagerate e dei denti della chiave tutti di altezza media, il risultato (almeno nel mio caso) è che c'è un solo pin che deve essere forzato per aprire tutto, gli altri sono praticamente già sbloccati. Comunque consigliato

Un juego de practicas de una calidad muy buena, no es lo mejor del mercado pero no tiene nada que envidiar, cumple con su función perfectamente y el desgaste del uso ni se aprecia a pesar del uso.

Practice lock practically fell apart in my hand, sending springs and pins across the room. No spares available in the kit.

Acheté par curiosité parce que j'aime les casse têtes et qu'en amateur de jeux de rôles je voulais "upper mon aptitude de crochetage" ^^) Le kit est très complet en matière d'outils : 17 pièces dont 5 leviers et 12 crochets rangés dans leur petite trousse, deux types de serrures : un cadenas transparent, très sympa pour comprendre le mécanisme, et un barillet type serrure de porte à deux entrées ayant chacune leur propre combinaison (elles n'ont pas la même clé !) Chaque serrure est fournie avec sa clé, ce qui fait trois serrures différentes pour s'entrainer. Cela dit elles sont très faciles à ouvrir ! J'ai essayé le kit sur les portes de ma maison et sur les cadenas qui traînaient dans mes tiroirs... c'est beaucoup plus difficile !!! Curieusement les cadenas les plus petits (cadenas de valise) sont les plus ardus à ouvrir ! Et pour l'instant je n'ai réussi à déverrouiller que le gros verrou de la cabane de jardin ! La porte d'entrée et les autres serrures, c'est pas gagné !!! Cela dit c'est un kit très sympa, pédagogique et ludique. Comme toujours livraison sans souci.
