Folding Pocket Set

I like this tool. It is smaller than I thought but I like the size. It fits well. I do not feel a difference if I use this tool vs a pick. I like the .020 thickness. I normally use 0.018 and at times find 0.025 to thick. Provides good feed back too. One think I would like to see changed is be able to add 1 or 2 more tension wrenches. 0.050, 0.040,( must have)and 0.030(maybe). I have been brain storming of where I can put another tension wrench and how the tension wrench will be constructed. I love TOK vs BOK. Over all, a product I would recommend.

A versatile tool not only for Locksporters but for Locksmiths as well! I have only a couple small qualms to say about this product and a host of praises to say. Firstly let's get out the qualms. Starting with the individual picking tools finish. I'm referring to the machining/tooling artifacts. Note I have seen worse from more expensive Locksmithing Brands. About Four out of the Nine pick profiles needed some TLC with 600-1000 grit dry/wet sandpaper. The other Five pick profiles were ready to rock. Specifically the profiles that need some hand finishing were the .025" Short Hook, .020" Bogota Triple Peak, .020" Euro Hook, and .025" Quint Rake. The finishing of these four profiles took me about 3 to 4 minutes each. The only other issue was the tensioner which it's not a big deal as I have tons of them and keep some custom made ones in my wallet. Now onto the positive aspects. Customer Service is excellent and really suprised me by fulfilling a custom request. I assumed this would have costed a bit more but it didn't. The material used to produce the picks and the Jacknife body is good quality. I did take some time to get acquainted with this tool before using it in the field. I successfully single pin picked some moderately difficult LOTO padlocks with good success. I choose some more difficult locks (Commerical) I had lying around for single pin picking. I raked a few standard Deadbolt cylinders. I was able to successfully use the Half Diamond to open an older Automotive lock. The Triple and Quint peak rakes really put a whopping on a myriad of locks. I forget sometimes to grab my main tool kit which happens more than I'd like it to. So this pocket tool seen some real world use on a few calls. It preformed just as well as a full length lock picking tool does. Even though it is about 3/16" shorter than my HPC and Peterson picks it was fine. I was able to use it in a Lock Out call in which it tackled a Schlage B60N. I'm not heavy handed with my picking tools unless I need be and while picking the Schlage I did have to use some force. I did fear that I was going break the Jacknife but my fears were put aside after a successful open. I didn't notice any vertical flexing and all of the pick tools held position where they were locked in. I later chose to use it purposefully on two other calls. One call in which was a request to open a Weather Gaurd tool box. That particular Customer was interested in the Jacknife so came the opportunity to show him where he could purchase his own. Thus far I am satisfied with my purchase and now my Mentor is chomping at the bit (pun intended) to buy it from me LOL. He'll just have to get his own as I've already became attached to this tool and keep it with me at all times. Ya never know when you might get a call. It's aggravating to have to go switch vehicles or gather up tools. I do reccomend giving the RCS Tool Co Pocket Pick/Jacknife a try. For the price its certainly worth it.

This thing is awesome! The plastic model is super light weight, and the locking bar is WAY better than the small bolt that other models use (like the aouthord jack knife pick set). Satisfied enough I ordered a second one for a family member who is deployed! It's good to know that if he needs to it can be sent in for repair or replacement! I would say get one, but you may end up getting two! One of my favorite pocket sets! ?

I have been testing this for a bit and it is by far the best pocket set you can get! The ability to customize if you want along with he quality of the build make it second to none. You will not regret this purchase!

I absolutely love these! I ordered 2 (one for single-pin picking and one mostly for raking) and use them all the time. I'm a locksmith and these are very convenient for basic locks (Kwikset & cam locks). I had received the wrong picks from what I had requested, but the company had great customer service and promptly sent me the correct ones. The locking bar to keep the picks from moving is helpful, as you can still feel the pin feedback, as opposed to the freely moving picks on other pocket pick sets. My only gripe is the tension wrench. It won't fit properly in some keyways, but there's not much of a workaround for that, given that it's the only style that would feasibly fit into the handle. I just carry a couple alternative tension wrenches with me to accommodate more keyways. Would definitely order again. May even get some for my team for Christmas with the reasonable price on these, as well as an upgraded 8-pick aluminum set for myself.

This this so compact and light. It's surprisingly comfortable. I like the selection of tools. You can sneak a TOK tensioner under the main tensioner. Everything fits very snugly. If you completely disassemble it, it is a little fiddly getting the tension right. You just have to rotate the bolt until the threads line up correctly.

This folding pick set is perfect for carrying in your pocket I will never buy a different folding pick set again

I’ve only played around with this pocket pick for a couple minutes and I picked a KW1 and SC1 keyway very quickly. I made a mistake and had to order two separate times. Customer service fixed the issue and I never even contacted them. 6 star service!

First and foremost, while I was poking around for a decent pocket sized EDC set I settled on Southern Specialties. While you can order the pre-made set. You can also custom order the picks you want. This is what I did. When it arrived I got a note stating that it was pre-assembled for me and threw in some extra picks and spare parts. That was unexpected and a pleasant surprise. That alone is a testament to customer service. 2nd, I'm quite hard on my picks and i'm surprised how they're holding up. The only recommendation I would make is to adjust the tip of the tensioner. Maybe thin it out on the tip so its able to go into more keyways.
