Dangerfield Praxis Professional Dual Gauge Stainless Steel Lock Picks - 43 Page Lock Picking Guide eBook - Great Set for All Levels

I bought this as a second set after getting a cheaper set for a Birthday present. The cheaper set was great and got me going but I soon found that over half of the padlocks I was buying to practice with I couldn't use because of the thickness of those picks.A bit of research got me to this set as a good one for beginners so I made the purchase.When the set arrived I have to admit I was a little disappointed in how flimsy they seemed, I don't know why but I expected the handles to be thicker. No reason for this, just my own thoughts on how they'd be.But, that said - I was soon into the padlocks I'd bought but couldn't practice with before - The picks, while they do feel flimsy, perform well and I actually begun to appreciate the "feedback" that they give (something I'd heard lockpickers talk about on their YouTube channels but hadn't really expereinced with my original kit but now can).I guess my thoughts about them being flimsy at first where a sign of my inexperience and not at all a reflection on the quality of the picks.The picks themselves are well thought out, I tend to use the hooks rather than the rakes and I like the choice of tension bars. I tend to use the Z bar more than anything else but I see the need for other options as well so I'm happy they are there.I had to email about the e-book - The link didn't come through with my order confirmation, this is more a problem with Amazon than the Seller.My email with the link for the e-book came through quickly with a polite message from Gayle apologising for the missing link - All good there.The e-book itself is very good in my (limited knowledge) opinion. It's written in a very easy to understand way. It's almost as though you've got a mate sat next to you explaining everything. It doesn't bog itself down with technical details and gives you all the information you need. Before this I'd learned everything from watching tutorial videos and not given any thought to things I maybe I should have; it's an excellent beginners resource.Overall I am very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone whose made a first step in to the world of lock picking and now wants to do a little bit more.

The only pick set your gonna need. Great quality and works on most euro locks cylinder locks. I only use 5 of the picks with 100% each time. Don't waste your money on the cheap sets.

First off let me say that this is a brilliant pick set. There's a great variety of picks and tension wrenches. I'm very happy with it.Was it perfect? Absolutely not. My particular set was missing a city rake, instead I had two of the same thickness short hooks. This was sorted out by speaking to UKBumpKeys who were absolutely brilliant and sent me the pick in the post.I had to go out and buy some metal files and sandpaper because about 50% of the picks had a terrible finish to them, they were almost serrated. It's not the quality I would have expected for this price, but on the flip side it was nice to spend time making the picks nice and smooth.Hopefully I just received an item from a bad batch.I would say that the top of the keyway tension hooks are a little lacking. I ended up buying a Sparrow set and only use two of the tension wrenches from this set.

i had a slight problem with my order which was quickly solved by gayle at ukbumpkeys within 2 minutes of me sending them a message!. now that is customer service that many companys sadly lack .these picks are very well made . no burrs or sharp edges that need to be filed down ect . the fact that they are dual gauge is a welcome bonus . the thinner ones fit all euro locks ( uk locks) and to be fair so do the slightly thickers picks . the cut outs on the handles are ok to hold for a while but like all picks will benefit from having a little shrink wrap added . a good polish and you will have one great set of picks. well done to ukbumpkeys .again many thanks to gayle at ukbumpkeys .

ok

This is the toolset you wished you had brought first time around. My first set were cheap but rubbish. Then I brought a set of 22 thou Multipick which are excellent but pricy. Finally I needed some slimmer picks and this set was the best value overall. You get a useful set of picks duplicated across the two thicknesses. So if you break your favourite pick at least you have another to tide you over. The only issue is the handles are a bit sharp. Heat shrink will make adequate handles but it may make it a squeeze in the case. Probably best to use on the top four picks only.So would I buy it again. Well no as I already have one. But putting the clock back I would buy this set first as it is miles better than the cheap rubbish and not that far behind Multipick. The price like the quality is in the middle and a good compromise.

Really nice and easy to work with

Great set, all the necessary tools and more and the 0.015 tools are great for very tight keyways, this product is very well finished from very high quality materials. Was rapidly dispatched with great service from the seller, would buy from them again
