James Bond' Credit Card Style Lock Pick Set

I'm going to give this a 5 out of 5. One reason is that it is exactly what it describes and it does actually work. I pick locks as a hobby and have helped friends out numerous times but carrying normal sized picks and and a tension wrench around isn't that convenient whereas this is perfect. It is credit card sized and about twice as thick. I found the tension wrench a bit awkward at first because I am so used to the ones I use but it was easy enough to get the hang of. The picks obviously don't have handles and are small but that's the point of them. I was able to rake a padlock within minutes of opening them. It's actually a nice selection of picks. Because they are small and are spring steel without handles I was able to feel the pins in locks after a bit of practice quite easily. If you are new to picking don't think just because you have picks that you will instantly open locks. I highly recommend one of the see through padlocks if you are learning to pick. You do really need to see inside a lock what it is that you are doing and how much pressure to use etc. Lock picking may sound easy but it really does take practice and skill.

Fun item (don't try smuggling through Customs, they've seen them all). If you can pick pin tumbler cylinder locks, this is a convenient easy carry for emergencies. Does work, but not as easy to use as full-sized kit, so not best for a learner. Thicker than the emergency snap-out pick cards, but these will fit back in the case.

I nearly gave 4 stars as the picks are quite flimsy, but as the product is so cheap, that seemed unfair.I would strongly recommend buying a cutaway padlock at the same time so you can see what you're doing.I haven't managed to pick a lock as yet which is reassuring in some ways because if it was that easy, there'd be a lot more burgled houses!But I was curious as to how it was done, and the booklet adequately explains the process. I just need more practice!

Not bad at all. The picks are a tad flimsy and the James Bond twaddle on the case is totally unnecessary!! However I tried picking a couple of small padlocks and managed to get then both open pretty quickly with only one pick. All in all it works - just really a bit flimsy and case is silly!!!

Bought this for a big James bond fan expecting it to look like pictures described but when received it was nothing like it very disappointed James bond fan

I bought this item as a Christmas Present for my sister in law (it has been on her wish list for some time) and she is so very excited to have received it! Thank you so very much - seriously a great and different Christmas gift! The manual which comes with it is so very helpful and a great product all round!

If you want to pick or practice picking locks then buy a proper lock picking kit as this is just rubbish. Had blisters on my fingers after a few hours of using.

Nothing wrong whatsoever with this product but I could not master the art of picking so gave up but good luck.
