So I'm looking for a new set of lock picks. Any advice on sets to get? Money is not a concern. Also what are some awesome cut away locks to get? And also any awesome locks to get just to pick that are not cutaway?

On mobile right now otherwise I'd post links, but check out lock pickers mall. There's a practice set that comes with a stand, 4 different locks and one of them is cutaway, plus a simple set of picks. That's what I have ;). Most standard sets come with the same picks so IMO it only matters how many you want. I got a cheap 28 piece set from Bump my Lock.

As long as it is proper steel (I dont know too much about steel but good quality spring steel is a must), size depends very much on country/continent, be sure to hold that into account.
You do not need to go overkill on the amount of picks.
Rake and half-diamond are used 90% of the time, be sure to get some different tension wrenches , very useful to have at least a couple it sucks when the single one you have does not fit :).
Though after a while I started making those myself.
Cannot recall the brand, "dino" I believe is the name of the stuff I used to have.

I've been using Southord picks but anything that isn't going to bend or break on you is good. Do yourself a favor and shell out for a little more than the basic packages or else you'll find yourself limited in certain situations. Not that you have to start out with a thousand picks or anything like that but get a good variety so that you can figure out what you're most comfortable with.
