00:00So I've been going down the locksmithing rabbit hole lately, you know, that whole learn how locks actually work thing,
00:05and let me tell you, picking your first practice set is way more confusing than it should be.
00:10Half of them are junk picks that bend the second you look at them.
00:14So I did the digging, ordered a bunch, and pulled together the 5 best lock pick and practice sets I
00:19could find, with some genuinely surprising deals.
00:22Quick note before we start, these are for practicing on your own locks, obviously.
00:27Alright, let's get into it.
00:30Kicking things off is this professional unlocking pick set with the key extractor and practice padlock.
00:36And the price on this one is honestly a little ridiculous, $3.50.
00:41That's less than a coffee.
00:43It comes with tubular picking tools and a practice padlock, so it's a complete little starter package.
00:49Now, is it going to last you a decade?
00:53Probably not.
00:54But if you're just curious, if you want to fiddle around on a weekend and see if this hobby actually
00:59clicks for you, this is the lowest risk way to find out.
01:02Over 4,500 people bought it, and it's sitting at a 4.8 rating.
01:07For $3.50, just try it.
01:10Next up, the 15-piece set with the transparent practice padlocks and these clear locks are the real story here.
01:17When you're learning, the hardest part is that everything's happening inside a metal cylinder where you can't see a thing.
01:23You're basically feeling your way blind.
01:26With these see-through locks, you actually watch the pins set as you apply tension, and that connection between what
01:32your fingers feel and what's happening inside, that's the moment it clicks.
01:35This one runs about $100, so it's an investment, but it's a proper kit with 15 tools, extractors, the works.
01:434.8 stars, and over 4,000 sold.
01:47Now this third one might be my favorite pick for value.
01:50It's a locksmith hand tool set with a practice padlock, tension wrenches, and a broken key removal tool, $27 and
01:57change.
01:58And that broken key extractor is the underrated hero here, because at some point somebody's going to snap a key
02:04off in a lock and you're going to be the person who can get it out.
02:07The tension wrenches are the part most cheap kits skimp on, and these ones feel solid.
02:12Highest rating in the group too, 4.9 stars from over 4,000 buyers.
02:17If you want one set that just does the job without overthinking it, this is it.
02:22Coming in at number 4, the transparent cutaway training locks, and these are a genuine step up.
02:28A cutaway lock is literally sliced open so you can see the entire mechanism, the pins, the shearline, all of
02:34it, in real time.
02:36It's the difference between reading about it and actually watching it happen.
02:40These are copper-bodied, built to be handled over and over, and it's the kind of tool you'd see in
02:45an actual training class.
02:48At $115 this is the premium option, no question, but if you're serious, or you're teaching someone, this is the
02:54one that teaches fastest.
02:564.9 stars
02:58And rounding out the list, this 15-piece set with the padlocks and pin extractor tools, sitting at $50.50.
03:05What I like about this one is it's the middle ground, you're getting a full 15-piece kit, practice padlocks,
03:11and broken key tools, but you're not spending triple digits.
03:15And look at that rating, a perfect 5 stars.
03:18Nearly 3,000 people bought it and nobody's complaining, which almost never happens.
03:23If the $3 kit feels too flimsy but a hundred plus feels like too much of a commitment, this is
03:29exactly where you want to land.
03:31Alright, that's the 5.
03:34I've dropped links to every single one down in the description, and prices on these move around a lot, so
03:39it's worth checking.
