If the picks bend then you are doing it wrong
Theres barely any tension put on the pics (except for the turning thing ofc)


Yeah it's the turning tool that bends my others don't. I need some stronger ones.

First, the pressure you put on the turn thing shouldnt be more then wresting your thumb on it or something, its just to put tension on the pins.
And if it still bends (wow shitty quality) then just make a new one in the schools woodshop or wherever you can get your hands on a tiny piece of metal.
Come to think about it, you should be able to make a fugly one by bending one tooth on a fork :D

Oh, that reminds me: a ground-down hex key makes a good tension wrench. I have spares from various shelving kits so I could use one of those.

Time for a necro.

I'd like to buy a normal set of picks, where should I buy from? the shop has to support PayPal and should ship worldwide.
Southord is cool, but they want me to enter my CC details, that's clearly what I don't want.

Picks should be available at your local hardware store. If not, try this
The package contains a pouch, 12 types of picks, two pressure wrenches and a pair of tweezers. It's all stainless steel too.

Looks like shit to be quite frank :P but I guess they are cheap, also do they fit for EU locks?
My local hardware store won't have such stuff, trust me.

Yeah I buy shit from DX weekly lol. Their lockpicks are cheap shit as well. Had a set, they were flimsy, wouldn't fit into the lock sometimes, tension wrench was garbage and broke.

How about this one? http://www.ukbumpkeys.com/collections/lock-picks/products/southord-5pc-slimline-euro-lock-pick-set
They ship internationally and accepts PP, maybe even bitcoin lol. Suck on that Taters!

They don't have a big selection of Southord tools, but the basic toolkit would probably suffice my simple needs. However it costs 4$ more than on Southord site, but that isn't too much. Don't know about the shipping costs though...

I became interested in lock picking at a very young age, my father was in the military and he showed me how to pick locks when I think I was 9. More or less. I was thinking of purchasing a set from Lockpickshop...

Ok, finally found a shop that seems legitimate and the prices EVEN with the shipping aren't as bat-shit crazy as others.
I just ordered this set: http://www.walkerlocksmiths.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=718
With shipping and tax it was 26GBP (44$), including some free book about tumbler locks.
According to their terms and services I should get the set in 30 days since shipment. So we'll gonna have to wait and see. Gonna post pics when I'll get it :D
