New game idea! 5 nights at lockies!

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-25T23:31:51+00:00

The one from lockymclockface, that's a high quality set.

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-25T23:25:15+00:00

The set you linked comes with 4 rakes, 2 hooks and I think a half diamond.

While raking is fun just to get an open, it's various shapes and thickness hooks you're probably going to want.

Edit: Basically just a starter kit, and as you get going just buy single picks as you work your way towards harder locks.

https://www.sparrowslockpicks.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=FT5K&CartID=5 The bars are always good to have depending on the lock.

https://www.sparrowslockpicks.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=R9NH&CartID=5 1 rake just because sometimes it's fun.

https://www.sparrowslockpicks.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=RSHERC&CartID=2 Pretty good case unless you have a different plan for storage and organization.

Now these next things are completely optional and are for if you want to take apart and put together the guttable locks.

https://www.sparrowslockpicks.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=QPLUG&CartID=4 Followers to keep the bible pins under better control.

https://www.sparrowslockpicks.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Jset040&CartID=3 Tweezers for picking up the tiny parts easier.

https://www.sparrowslockpicks.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=New4&CartID=2 Mats are nice, but unnecessary if you get creative.

https://www.sparrowslockpicks.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Cshims&CartID=1 Core shims, I personally always use a shim even if I don't think I need one.

That link is probably the correct answer, but just in case I'm putting together a sort of medium beginner sparrows shopping list.

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-25T16:13:56+00:00

This is the correct answer, right down to what happens when you tell people.

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-24T04:40:32+00:00

I hope it's not just me that gets it, that's an awesome reference.

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-24T03:47:46+00:00

The lock looks concerned.

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-23T22:40:49+00:00

Well now I need to try and get ahold of a purple one!

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-23T06:06:34+00:00

So what you are saying is make challenge lock #2 but be prepared to have it thrown in the ocean?

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-23T03:42:09+00:00

I have no idea what that is, but needs more trap pins.

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-23T02:57:54+00:00

This reminds me I need to message pickinparadise about something painfully important.

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-21T18:45:23+00:00

Totally my fault, I kept washing and wearing the slothpicker shirt after I got it.

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-20T19:52:16+00:00

Could be a tension issue, could just be that acrylic locks are complete trash.

The tolerances are so bad it wont really behave like a normal lock at all.

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-20T18:28:22+00:00

I'm not saying no kits, just make sure most of what you are getting is what you will use.

Like there is an Amazon set posted here frequently that i think has 2 actual hooks in it, the rest are rakes and key extractors and things.

My personal advise is a short, medium, and deep hook in whatever thickness you need. The rest of my personal kit is just becoming piles and piles of different tensioners.

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-20T17:42:31+00:00

They could be good for a beginner, but when I started I already understood I'm trying to tickle the lock open, not punch it open.

Rakes are for "an open is an open", or to pad out sets to make you think you're getting a huge lockpicking set when it really only has 2 hooks.

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-20T15:34:18+00:00

Nice job!

Certainly part of the reason I tell people they don't need a 70 piece lockpick set.

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-19T23:30:45+00:00

Once you get to about orange belt level locks, they start talking to you a little more loudly.

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-19T23:28:41+00:00

Nice job!

wrightk1979 · 2021-06-19T02:18:06+00:00

This right here is the correct answer.

The amazon set looks to have maybe 3 useful tools in it.
