Lock Pickers Vice Mk2

A must for hobby and locksport pickers

This vice changed things for me. I was used to holding locks in my hand and picking them open. Then I came to my first real deadbolt that I had permission to open (we own the rental building) and suddenly the angles were different, holding the pick and tension wrench was different, everything about the experience was different. This vice is a marriage between the two. It allows one to sit comfortably and even tension with the left or right hand behind what would be a solid door but the angles can be placed just like real-world locks. I cut a strip of leather to wrap around the holding clamps so as not to scratch certain locks I own. I have needed this vice for a long time and am so glad that I now have it. I use it daily. It is well made, well priced and a great buy for anyone who loves to pick locks!

Exactly as I ordered

Worked perfect for what I needed

Lock Pickers Vice Mk2

It took me a few minutes to figure out how it worked but its very solid for the price. The part where it says that picking like this is way different is very accurate. I'm excited to be able to practice in this new way. My only issue is that it doesn't open wide enough to hold most padlocks. Any normal sized one like a Master Lock No. 5 is way too big. I have one small brass Brinks lock that fits on the wides setting and a couple double sided locks that fit pretty well. I wish I had known before purchase what kind of locks it holds. I'm keeping it and am going to buy a couple locks that are a better fit for it.
