In this blog I'll tell you a bit about each, and help you - should you wish to buy one - make an informed decision, and work out what's best for you.
#China make lock picking tools pro
That's why we offer three EPGs: An economy version, a mid-range pro version, and the very top-of-the-range EPG you can lay your hands on. I've spoken to many, many people about what they like, what they don't like, what works and what doesn't, what they want, and what's on offer. There are many EPGs on the market, each with the usual array of pros and cons, I've used most of them and over the years, tried them in the field and in the workshop. A lock picking robot that completes the circuit between the human picker and the mechanical lock. Just a unit, an engine, a needle, and a Hell of a lot of vibration. There's no art, no eloquence, no style or passion. This is the moment of the Electric Pick Gun (EGP) a tool that does nothing but open locks. When you're staring the bottom line in the eyes, you don't want to be meditating!

And when there's a job to do time means money, not a relaxing pleasure. But there comes a time when none of the above is required. It can in this sense be a beautiful, calming, almost meditative thing.Īll well and good. Yes, lock picking can bring out the patient craftsman in us all, tirelessly working over minute details, it appeals to the romantic image of the watchmaker working by candlelight, hunched over the object of his obsession, way into the night.

It's a pleasure, sometimes - as I pointed out in my last blog - to spend time on things in a culture that is obsessed with speed, that is obsessed with getting things done and moving on. Hand-filing new patterns from scratch onto blank keys, measuring fractions of fractions with vernier calipers, and polishing the cuts with wet n dry for days on end. The time I have spent on Bumping - were you to add all those hours up - is even more insane. It is, I must say, the hardest lock I have ever picked.And I have only ever picked it once! This of course creates two shearlines, one on each side. A dimple lock like no other, where each pin in each two-pin stack is separate and opposed to the other, they push into the lock by a spring, each and made even trickier by one of the springs in each stack being stronger than the other one. Also I took the weird hook with the larger flat top and filed it into a more far reaching hook by removing a lot of the material underneath and that not only works well but was good experience making my own shape out of a pick I’d never use with only a file and some sandpaper.I once spent four hours straight trying to Single Pin Pick the legendary Banham dimple lock. For me that is both hooks and the city rake. I don’t know anything about the plastic handled set but I thought I’d mention it since your first set will get you pretty far if you take the time and sand the ones you use. Even after my Sparrows picks came I still use the hook occasionally if I am really testing a touch pin since I wouldn’t be heartbroken if it broke, whereas I want to treat my Sparrows picks well. They are much better after sanding them though and the black coating (on mine at least) was rough and added I wanted feedback so you might not want the black coating on there anyway and it coming off isn’t a bad thing. They are a lot stronger than I expected and although a vast majority of the picks would rarely be used, and some are useless but still good if you file them into different shapes, the hooks are ok and the city rake works too. I picked all the way up to a blue belt lock (and American 1106) with that set before my Sparrows picks came in.
