12 Piece Classic 2500 Series Lock Pick Set

I should clarify, although I am new to this hobby, I made a point to be well versed in brands, reviews, various kits, and their applications. That said, I was expecting high quality with this set and I was not disappointed. The reviews for this product on other sites were what sold me on it, and for the price, I've found that this set is exactly what it was sold to me as. It's a low cost, very high quality set that hasn't failed me yet. I am very careful with the picks and so I notice when they bend even slightly. They're not so used yet that I've broken any of them, but I have used the medium (red handle) tension wrenches and the half hook more than anything else so I will probably be buying more of those in order to prevent being out of commission in the event that they ever do break. I have no criticisms of this set whatsoever, but as my kit grows I will likely end up needing a different pouch, because this one was designed to hold these 12 pieces and no more. However, Southern Specialties has gained a loyal customer and it would take something exclusive for me to buy from another company.

The advertising is correct; the finish is the best of any of the brands I have bought.They feel more stiffer and more substantial than their 0.25 thickness suggests. This is particularly true of the Bogota, which has an unbelievable finish and a really nice softening of the top and bottom edges; it slides in and out of the keyway smoothly and without flex. Very nice. The reach tool is new to me, but seems like it could be a very useful addition to my EDC. The tension tools are the most useful of any of the pocket sets that I own. For the first time I get a variation in thickness, as well as width; so I can give up less of the keyway to the tension tool...big smiley face. I'd like them even more if they had a twist in the shank (hint). I think this might be the best general purpose kit on the market.

Bought this kit - shipping was fast .! Was picking in 2 days with this nicely finished set . Picks are nice (no sharp edges ) and the tension tools are perfect , with just the perfect variety . THANKS !!

Good to have variety

I am a beginner and have tried many different picks along the way, I have purchased many brands of picks. But these picks fell great, They are masterfully crafted. The glide well inside the lock. The narrow profile work's well and feels strong A++. These are MADE IN AMERICA, You want be disappointed!! The owners are super friendly, It was an honor meeting them.

Slim case that holds my most used picks, in the thickness I go with. 6 tension wrenches of varying thickness with colored ends to quickly choose the one you need. Overall, a very good set for a very low price.

I love the picks, especially the Euro Wave and the Reach. The best part though are the turning tools. The three different thicknesses help provide the perfect tool for almost every keyway.
