pick sets are a necessary tool for anyone who wants to learn how to pick locks. While there are a lot of pick sets on the market, it’s important to buy one that is high quality and appropriate for your skill level. A set with a lock jiggler, tension tools and a variety of hooks will give you all the basics to get started.

A good pick set is compact and easy to carry. It should fit in a pocket or on a keychain, and it shouldn’t be too expensive. Most of the top pick sets use a ‘government steel’ (GSP) brand which means they’re made from 420 stainless steel instead of traditional carbon steel. They also have molded handles for extra grip and a hard, protective case that holds up to heavy use.

While most people don’t need to know how to pick a lock professionally, it can be useful in an emergency. Old boxes containing jewelry or family heirlooms rarely have keys available, and having a lockpick set on hand can save you a lot of panic in these situations.
