Re: Lockpick set
that's pretty cool! I would have to have one in something other than a pen, I lose more pens in a week than I can count. But I do like the concept. Covert, but handy.

Re: Lockpick set
That's one pen I would keep up with.
Better get an official looking Locksmith in Training card to go along with that.

Re: Lockpick set
That looks pretty neat. Lock picking is a hobby of mine. It keeps my hands occupied while I watch TV or something like that.

that's cool, both the pen and you teaching your friend.

Re: Lockpick set
Is the pen functional as well?
I'm oddly fascinated by pen, so much so I've learned to turn them

Re: Lockpick set
That's real nice. I just recently picked up a Sparrow Tuxedo kit. I haven't gotten to mess with it much but I have conquered the common Master locks.

Re: Lockpick set
ive been in the lockpicking hobby for about 8 years now. it's a super fun hobby to get into. In the state of Texas they arent considered "illegal" or "criminal mischief" unless you have them on you with intent to do something illegal. but for me when I started carrying CCW I left the lockpicks at home. never know what they might try to accuse you of if youre ever in a situation when you have to use your gun in self defense and you happen to have a lock pick set on you... check out www.thinkpeterson.com they have some very high quality picks. stay away from the spring steel picks get the govt steel picks they are a lot more heavy duty (and the price tag reflects it lol)

Re: Lockpick set
this is my lock picking hardware as of june. I recently bought a re-pinning and re keying kit as well as an impressioning kit. if anyone is serious about lockpicking/smithing lemme know i have a few books i might letcha have. i was ognna be a locksmith until i realized in texas you need a 2 year apprenticeship under a certified locksmith before you can even take the test and where I live we don't have a locksmith. we have a wrecker service who owns a slim jim and a few door wedges lol. if anyone knows of a locksmith looking to take on appretices in cooke/denton counties lemme know.

Re: Lockpick set
The items aren’t available for sale on the website yet, I contacted Aaron through the site, name-dropped the heck out of your name and told him you were a friend, paid him through paypal, and my kit will be coming in the next few weeks.

Re: Lockpick set
What’s the possible legal liability if you don’t?
