Beginners Lock Pick Set in a box: Complete Lock Pick Kit, Spy Card Kit + Practice Locks and Dummies guide by Lokko

The book is really well put together and walks you through everything from the start in an understandable way. The practice locks are great, its really helpful at the begining of learning to be able to see the way it all works, and for getting to grips with the motions. The tools in the kit feel nice to use, and they dont feel flimsy or cheap either. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to pick up the skill, it has all you need to get started. My only slight disappointment comes from the practice lock (not the padlock) - the plastic at the bottom that holds the springs taut was loose when i recieved the kit. Not a huge issue because i can just hold it in place while practicing but its not super comfy, and if i dont hold the plastic in place, i can pick the lock much easier than i should be able to (hence only 4 stars). The rest of it is excellent though, so im going to superglue it in place or something. Had a lot of fun despite very little success so far!

Having a lot of fun with this already as a total beginner. I look forward to using it on more locks.

Exactly what i was hoping for - a nice compact set for a more interesting Christmas present.
