Hm. I suppose I will have to order one now as well. *Looks up prices*

Edit:
Any cheap sets that you guys could suggest? >$30 for a lock pick set seems a bit much...
And then there's the cutaway locks of which I couldn't find any cheaper than $30.

I found this but I'm not sure if it's any good.

Thats is "the shit"
Depends on the country and type of locks tough, for some these will be too big.

The 'arm' shouldn't really be pushing on the pins, tension should be holding them in place. Try and make sure the head of the pick is the only thing making contact, if that's not possible you might need slimmer picks.

Using the slimmest pick I have at this point. It works pretty well still, but the arm still pushes on the pins of my cutaway lock as far as I know. Can tell with the other ones because well, they aren't cutaway.

Ok guys.. as said before I got my first lock picking set nearly a week ago. I got very frustrated with the cut away lock cause it seems that the only method to open it would be single pin picking and I am not able to do that at the moment.. lol. So I decided to try an abus padlock with the raking method and after a couple of hours I was able to open it. Now it takes me something between 10 - 30 sec. to open it :) Still not very fast but it is a start.. lol. Damn thats a great feeling when the lock pops open :P For every beginner I can recommend to first try one of these locks with the raking method and a rake pick.

I would suggest picking those instead of raking, not that it isnt effective but a simple 4 pin lock allows you to get the 'touch' with some succes rate.
If you dont get positives you won't know if you do it right.
Besides I never used a cutaway, I did this for years and considered myself quite skilled back than.
