Sparrows Octo Rake and Rocker Lock Pick

Great picks, practice required!

I bought a set of 2 sets of Sparrow lockpicks (one was a gift) and added the Octo rake as well. They are nicely finished and the case holds all the picks and tension levers with enough room to add a few if later. I've wanted to have a go at lockpicking for a while, I've seen it done in the movies and I needed to find out if it was as easy as it seems. It wasn't, but I was pleased that with a bit of practice I picked the filing cabinet lock in my office as well as a few simple padlocks I have about. I've been practising on a few old locks I've been given by a carpenter friend of mine when he upgraded doors. I've picked one, but only once! I'm going to stick with it and keep the locks in the office and tackle them when I have a few minutes to spare. It's very satisfying when the lock moves. I found the guide that followed the order really useful, thanks for that, and there's lots on the internet. Great hobby!
