Sparrows Monstrum Lock Pick Set

A unique set of hooks

There is a large selection of hooks that are hard to find anywhere else. They are comfortable, well finished, and give great feedback. If you are looking for a wide variety of hooks and already have a basic set of picks then this is great. The case is well made and has plenty of room for multiple sets of picks. I just wish they would come out with an .015 version as well.

Good supplement to Vorax

Vorax was out of stock so ordered Monstrum instead as the first Sparrows set. To be honest, initially I was disappointed with Monstrum's small range and strange picks - probably that's to avoid overlapping if already owning Vorax. But when it started to open locks I was satisfied. When compared to Multipick and Southord these are very sturdy and can handle even big locks. Nice plastic dip handles, much better than bare metal. If you order this one, make sure you additionally order a rake or two (Worm rake was a very good addition) and SSDev picks as this set doesn't contain any thin, deep picks for high security locks except Lunatic. There's only one rake included by default (Octo), but that's too large for most Euro locks. Sherman case is excellent, moved my picks from Goso case to this one. So I wouldn't recommend this as the first set (grab Vorax instead), but the pick and case quality is outstanding.
