Not really. I know some theory and I'd just like to get confidence with picks and wrenches to try some practice Smiley

Take a loot at SSDeV.

Thanks!

Now especially for price comparison, any other suggestion is welcome Smiley

Where abouts are you in Europe mate.
I know of a few places in the UK I get my kit from, but that may be of no help to you.

Not in europe, but in the states, I've found a pretty good variety at gun/knife shows... Or you can always make your own depending on what your trying to open.... From a fellow lockpicker, remember a skilled picker can pick as well with a 7 piece kit(my first kit, will always be my favorite) than with a 72 piece beast of a kit.... Just my .02 Oh by the way, I'm a newb to this forum....

Try some (local) lock picking groups/entheusiast sites. they often have links to good sites with info and places where you can order your hardware. In holland we have www.toool.nl.

Hacksaw blades and street sweeper bristles work well for making your own set.  There are plenty of instructions on the net for doing so as well.  Back at Defcon in '03 one of the competitors I was up against actually hand made his set and had only been practising for about 6 months.  He took top honors that year.  I've attached an image of the final challenge that year.  IIRC he opened his door in just over a minute...

For what it's worth, here is a video on making your own set.

Funny how things happen. I was just at ThotCon and Ryan Jones talked about making his own set with street cleaner bristles.

I've seen that method mentioned a few times, but I have never  been able to find any bristles, even walking down the street after the sweeper went by.

I've got a set I bought at a computer show, but I've never been able to pick the padlock I'm trying to train on. 10 years and counting. I know I'm doing something wrong, just not what. Smiley

Have you had a chance to sit down with someone who can do it? They can usually tell you right then and there what they feel while picking and what you should look for. It really helps.

to a point. One of the local security meetings, had lock picking night. Ended up spending more time showing a couple of people how to use the shim on the combo lock.  The key locks and picks were more utilized at the other end of the table, and more about one uping each other.. Nothing wrong with that.
