EVENTRONIC Lock Picking Kit, 32-Piece Lock Pick Set with 4 Transparent Training Locks and Manual and Zip Case for Lockpicking, Extractor Tool for Beginner and Locksmith Training(Orange)

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! 🔐🕵️‍♂️

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

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.

I was looking over the product as a whole and what I received and was pretty impressed, I got it as something to keep near my desk as a skill to learn and develop/ a fidget thing and it all seemed really good quality (and it is don't get me wrong). Then I picked up the dual end lock... and the plastic bottom must've fallen off immediately which I didn't see and all the springs and metal bits came flying out, darting all over the place. I placed the plastic bottom on again to see if it was loose or something and it was the opposite I struggled to get it off again even with placing it at an angle so I could get it again. So I'm unsure how that happened and it must have been shipped that way which is disappointing because everything else seems well put together and packaged for shipping as a product. Now the dual end clear lock is useless as I'm unsure how I should place all the little bits (which I think I still have them all somehow) back into it so it can function. This is the piece that for me especially adds value to the whole product as you have both sides to practice with. Hopefully, the seller could get in contact with me to help sort this issue out as it is frustrating to spend the amount of money I did on a little fun thing to then have it be practically useless. I'm sure that most other people will have the good experience I was having before this happened so I wouldn't want to deter anyone from purchasing it as its a good little kit but at the end of the day like everything its assembled by humans and we all make mistakes and oversights and that what I think this might be here. Thanks hope to receive contact from someone, Brad :)

I've always shy'd away from these budget sets and stuck with my Southords & Sparrows. I was curious to see if these cheap pick sets were fit-for-purpose. What a wonderful surprise : the profile of the picks & rakes are really effective (some unusual Bogatas in this set are quicker than my Southords at opening challenging locks.) The tension tools are far too thick & wide but this allowed me to file them down to make some very cheap & effective TOK tools ! The practice padlock is brilliant. People miss the point when they review that it is too easy to open. This lock is designed to help you perfect skills such as finding the binding pin and setting them all in the right order. The manual for this set is high quality (but isn't that helpful !) The entire packaging from box to case is excellent. It is true that the picks could be bent if treated roughly but it should be the tension wrench that's applying the necessary torque ! I've had no problem with these picks & rakes bending with use ! Never thought I'd say this but these picks are fast becoming my 'go-to' set.

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.

The locks would open with a strong look but the tools are decent to start practicing with. Buy a real lock and pick away. They have come in handy a couple of times.

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.
