IPSXP 23 Lock Picking, Transparent, 17 Dietrich Set + 2 Schlössern

Great on Price, incredibly useful and sturdy. Was able to get my friend back into her locked room as a complete beginner, so it does work on actual locks. It also gives you transparent locks to work with and learn and practice, and also some guides on what to do. Overall it was very good

The picks seem good. When I got it one of the picks was missing (trying to resolve that right now). The padlock core is made out of plastic so that's why you can't use it for practise. Otherwise the lock picks are comfy to hold and look like they're made from stainless steel (like advertised). I opened all of the locks on the first day (the last one you can't open without the right tools and the right tools are not included. If you're going to try to open it without the tools you would have to apply pressure using the steel bar thingy on the back side). If you get all of the stuff that should be included, you'll have a lot of fun. Just don't expect to open all the lock in the world without practise. You can open all of the locks pretty easily if you have some creativity. That's the most important part of picking a lock. If you'll just put the tension wrench inside and just start moving up and down it wont work. Just try to find other solutions to your problems and don't give up. I hope this was helpful.

Don't expect too much, it's no pro set, and you won't be the next MI6 recruit, but it's great fun to learn.The padlock is really easy to pick, but does inspire some confidence to get you going. I've supplemented it with a range of locks from a range of places, and been able to pick most with it.Still takes me a while, and I'm sure some it is more luck than skill, but it's a fun little kit to play with.If you're into lick picking, don't bother, you've definitely got better picks, but for a bit of fun, it's great.

I ended up returning this for a full refund. I think my expectations were too high. I managed to get a couple of locks open but it lacked any satisfaction as I felt I was having to brute force it open rather than delicately manipulate pins and get some tactile feedback from the lock. LockPickingLawyer always talks about 'clicking on pins' but there was non of that. The price point was just too high for the quality too, one of the tension/torque bars didn't fit inside the keyway as the metal was deformed from being stamped.However, there was a wide selection of picks which were all metal with a plastic handle. A number of torque bars and also 4 locks.The packaging was really good, especially the 4 locks which all came in their own padded plastic box (with keys) and the picking tools were also supplied with a storage/carry case.All in all, you do get a lot for your money here (quantity) but it needs to be improved upon for that money to be justified.

The kit comes with a nice selection of pick tools which seam quite rigid and capableHaven't worked out where to use some of the weird and wonderful shapes as yetthe manual gives a good illustrated guide on how to pick the Practice Padlock (but not the the other locks)which i would say is the easiest to pick of all the included locks which each come in there own foam padded caseunfortunately the build tolerance of these locks is not brilliantbefore even trying to pick the cylinder lock i tested it with the key which instantly jammed in the lock with only a quarter turnwhich took 10 minuets to then free up and be able to remove the Keyi was able to pick the first 3 locks within about 20 mins of playing with thembut the kits doesn't seam to include a suitable tension wrench for the final lock which you effectively have to pick 4 times to openunfortunately so far i haven't bean able to transfair any of this skill to real locks which are designed with much higher tolerancespresumably time and practice will help with thisOverall it seams a good kit but the build quality of the practice locks means there nothing like real world locksbut then real locks are cheep enough to practice with any way !

Arrived early, great quality! I really needed some form of fidget device, and couldn't see myself with any of the actual fidget toys, so this works great, AND I get to work on a new skill.Would recommend

The manual is easy to use and teaches you how to pick a lock.the locks are a decent size and are sea throughout so they are easy to see what is happening inside.my only issue is that one of the padlocks is temperamental and doesn’t always open,other than this they are good quality for the price.

Inside of the locks are metal the outside clear. With practice the locks can be opened with various picks. The 4th lock probably needs different tools to open but the tools provided are sufficient for most locks.The instruction manual is next to useless but gives a little idea of how to use the tools. Suggest searching Youtube for instructions on lock picking.The tools should be sufficient for a range of locks. I'm off now to find more locks (with keys) to practice on. Because of these tools it looks promising to have an intriguing hobby that will stretch my brain and help my dexterity. (62 now so my fingers need the exercise).Quality of this set is good for the price.
