    My brother has a set that looks like this one, I'm no expert but the quality seemed to be pretty good.

    Your brother isn't MacGyver McGovern by any chance?

    Got cheap set years ago. Lets just say in my day job from time to time someone loses keys or locks themselves out. I'm not a locks smith, but one day this fella came into job saying his front door blew shut (likely story ive never heard before).

    Got I.D from him and walked over to his house, had him in house within 30 seconds using lock pick set. I was in shock myself at how easy it was. Saved me having to barrel or snap euro cylinder....:)

    Just for what it's worth you can get those on amazon too.

    They're dearer and all so good spot op and thanks for posting this. I'm only mentioning it for people worried about customs etc. I don't know how much of an issue it could be given how freely available they are here (I've no legal expertise but give amazon's reputability I can't imagine something that was clearly illegal could be so freely available off them)

    Yeah, price is gone up.

    There was a timer on the offer earlier. It was around 250 pieces at £7.48 when I first checked it, by the time I got around to ordering it it was down to 231.

    You can get 6% back with TopCashBack also!

    This could be the first bargain alert to save me money rather than impulse buying. I put this in my amazon basket yesterday morning.


    Now I'm conflicted whether I want to spend the extra E8 and have it next week or am I willing to wait possibly up to 3 months :confused:

    Plus shipping. Defeats the bargain. I've no break-ins planned for the coming weeks so I'll just wait it out.

    I had other stuff on order as well so no delivery to worry about. Still i decided I'm cheap so ordered from China.
    Now cue me losing my keys in the next few weeks before this arrives...

    Thanks OP :)

    I haven't had a BA impulse buy in a good while, thanks OP! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,397 ✭✭✭Fingleberries


    Grand job, I think I'll pick one up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,973 ✭✭✭jonerkinsella


    It's gonna be interesting to see how the Garda statistics handle this influx of lockpicking kits into the country over the next month or so . How many million extra break ins do you think they'll get out of it :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭Pizzle


    Always been interested in trying this. Thanks OP!

    I've been looking to change careers hopefully this will open a few doors for me.

    Just in case the price goes up the same kit is always available for around this price on eBay.

    Try a 30" set of snips on that transparent lock


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,491 ✭✭✭kingtut


    I've had that one for a few months now. Really useful and now I have been able to pick quite a few small locks with little to no trouble :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,702 ✭✭✭tryfix


    It would make a great present for someone..... who has no idea where you live.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,309 ✭✭✭✭wotzgoingon


    To save yourself time while lock picking it is best to buy a few different bump keys. You need a specific one for each different type of lock but most front doors(not all though) use the same type. Stick bump key in give it a slight bump and twist and door will open.

    Where can you purchase bump keys?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭Nesta99

    Be prepared for a long wait as An Post's policy is to let all Chinese stuff pile up in a corner in Athlone until someone decides to deal with the pile every now and again, expect at least a 2 month delivery time.
