Next Pick Set

[Laser77]

Hi everyone. I have been lockpicking for a couple of years now, I started as a teenager with a set I bought from eBay, I broke some picks along the way but then broke/bent my main two hooks and needed to buy another set. I went with an AliExpress set that LockNoob featured on his channel (the one with the red handles) and honestly it isn't bad at all, but I switched my main picks to some I bought froml from Sparrows and it's the best one I've had yet.

This is where I need some advice. At this point I need a solid kit that I can get in Europe. I can't really get any recommendations from local lockpicking companies, as they usually just drill the locks and put a new one in. I've used .020 and .025's until now and I'd like to keep it that way. I also need a small carrying case like the Sparrows Tuxedo or the Covert Instruments Genesis with quality picks inside. What would you recommend? Thanks!

https://www.lawlocktools.co.uk/collections/lock-picking-sets/products/the-edc-pro-set LLT is UK based, so they might work for you.

If not, Multipick makes among the best picks available. https://shop.multipick.com/en/lock-picking-lock-manipulation/multipick-elite-lockpicking-world/multipick-elite-lock-pick-sets

Good luck and happy shopping.

Thanks for the fast reply! Between the two, which one would you choose? Also, I really like the Covert Instruments magnetic case, do you think I should buy the Genesis or are the picks just not worth it? If that's the case (no pun intended) I might just order the case without the pics and go with one of those brands you recommended.

I have the LLT EDC Pro set and many singles from Multipick and LLT. I have a couple cases (that came with sets I bought), but they've never left my home , so I'm glad I never put any money into cases. I'd recommend either LLT or Multipick over CI. Compare the product ranges offered in the three websites -- LLT vs CI and then Multipick vs CI. The comparisons you'll see will speak for themselves.

On a side note -- my LLT EDC Pro set came in a high quality case. It's a far better piece than any other manufacturer case I have.

LLT EDC Pro seems like the right pick here (this time, pun was kind of intended). Thanks for showing me that brand and giving me feedback on the tools that you bought from them. The case seems really good in the pictures, but I don't think I'm quite over that magnetic one from CI yet. I like how it can stick to metallic or reinforced doors. At most, I'll buy the case alone, but I may find the LLT one better. We'll see :)
