Same for me living in Denmark, I have some Swedish tools though too and even some metal working tools from the US. Good tools are something I want to pass to my children when I have them like my dad and grandparents did. The younger generation, (I'm 35) is inheriting all these quality old tools and just tossing them into the metal recycling container where I live. It makes me so sad. I rescue what I can, and put in peoples hands who need them.
Wow, what an awesome kit! So many top quality tools as you would expect from Multipick! I still can't afford that kind of money yet but one day. Thanks for going through each tool and the videos. Good luck to the winner, they will go mental. Lol
@Bosnianbill: at 6:50 minutes in the Video - this tool is called a "Baustellenschlüssel", a construction site key. And it comes with a hidden feature: The O is also a beer bottle caps opener!
I laughed a little when you said you weren't familiar with Proxxon. I started watching your channel in 2012ish and you were using a Proxxon 28602 Precision Vise back then, you used it for what felt like years. I remember it well because I went out and bought one so I could be like you Dad and still use it today!!
Case-ception! And yes, Proxxon has a great reputation for quality tools. It's a Swiss company so that's to be expected. I agree with you on Knippex and Wera. The stuff to go when you can get it. As for WD-40: it IS a lubricant, but it's not a long-term lubricant, it's too volatile to be used for that. For short term it's alright, especially because it's a penetrating/creeping oil and it's very effective when trying to get rusty parts to move. Also great for cleaning gunk out. For long-term lubrication something more sticky is the better choice. Pretty awesome set - which is no surprise given that Multipick sells it.
Is this a different company then the green and yellow tool like the rotary tools? I was confused and went to the company website: "PROXXON was founded in Germany on May 4th, 1977 in Niersbach, a small town in the southwest , just 20 miles from Trier, Germany's oldest city."
I'm just wondering what the two unused spaces in the bottom part of the box are for. Possibly a Jimmy Bar and a car ignition/steering wheel lock snapper? Pro tools that I doubt I will ever need, unless I get a job in housing asset management. The core puller is a great tool. Most decent euro locks have snap cylinders now, so maybe multilock might also start making longer torque screws for pulling out the other half of an anti snap core.
Great video Bill. I didnt know they make hand tool if it's the same company. Proxxon is a german tool company that make rotary tool and other "small" machine for miniature hobby like small mill, lathe, bandsaw etc. example quality. Before find proxxon I had 4 or 5 dremel hand rotary machine because different attachment and often because dremel motor wear out after a year or two. The proxxon all their rotary hand tool is metal body and attachment is universal to their model. play, noise, feel, design is all better. I've had 1 proxxon rotary for over 10 years now. Even Adam Savage recent did a review and raved about proxxon.
In the lower half, third slot along between the master key and the adaptor plates - what's missing from there? It was empty in the Wendt kit too. Also, what is supposed to be below the pliers? There seems to be an empty slot there too.
Good video, and excellent explanation of the tools. There was one tool you never showed us, and 2 empty slots I'm curious about. WD 40 may be designed as a water displacer made from fish oils, but it IS also a lubricant like any oil, and a damn good one that penetrates well and removes rust. I also insist on quality tools, I have a very well equipped shop/garage, and all of my tools are from the "Cooper tool group" a recognised group of brands that make high quality tools, like Klein, snap on, estwing, proto, etc...good tools are expensive, but so is replacing broken, bent, or twisted tools and the equipment they damage.
Actually from market positioning in Germany, Proxxon is at the mid- to upper-mid level product. Direct competitors is Stanley (should be known to you US guys) for example, being sold at standard DIY retailers and targeting ambitious DIY persons, high level positioning for professionals is brands like Hazet, Stahlwille (which I definitely can not pay for, and my experience with Proxxon is absolutely satisfying). All brands here are only examples, there is a lot more on the market.
Bill you bought the standard version I bought the professional version you should review that one but it's over $900 with all the international shipping and cash on delivery fees
Hi can you show me the pull bar working on some higher quality locks please? Does it get passed the anti drill bars? Also is it ok to just use the torx hand tool to put the screws in? Thanks!! 👍
Proxxon are widely available "enthusiast" brand in Europe unlike Stahlwille, Gedore or Wirth. I use Proxxon, they never failed me and they cost 1/3 of the latter. Knipex are great but a bit more expensive. The 26 12 200 pliers you show are around 26 USD.
I have a good one for you to try. It's a YALE rubber armoured disc lock, with an extremely narrow and bendy key slot. Good luck A pity there's no way to add a photo of the key slot, it's mean LOL It's 73,5 x 18.5 x 26.5 (last measurement is the raised key secton ) all measurements in metric millimetres.
Proxxon - Made in Germany. Interesting that they didn't go for every tool made by Wera (except the pliers which they don't produce). I think maybe they were trying to almost promote other quality tools from Germany, the lowest bidder would certainly have been cheapest if they could bundle a bunch more tools into they same lorry for delivery after all.
You and the LPL have talked about music wire for picks for a long time and I've tried to find it but I cannot find it anywhere and anytime I search it up I get like ten different types of wire but none called music wire so I hope you see this and I hope you do me a big favor by replying but if you could point me in the right direction or a link to where I can order some or what a real name of some is that would be extremely helpful and I would be very greatful
Bottom empty slot is for this guy: shop.multipick.com/de/glocke/proxxon-ratschen-ringschluessel-17-19-mm also a Proxxon it is not the best brand on the marked but the force gain on the Zhie glocke (pulling bell) is so hi it does the job more than wel (you're not going to break that with your hands, and if you need more than one hand on the Zhie glocke there is some thing wrong). Tap the UK flag on the site and it shows the price for the Proxxon wrench at $ 12 incl VAT. Putting a Gedore, Whiha, Whera wrench in there would rise the price of the kit for no reason, the Torx T handel that you want in excellent quality and there are no better pliers than Kinpex in my opinion.
Awesome kit there Bill, can't beat that German quality! I know damn well you were pretty excited to be able to drop that WD-40 into the kit to tick people off! Love it! 🤣
Opening reminded me of Thanos snapping his fingers. Wish I was a locksmith as that is a really great price and great kit. The non destructive stuff I can see using to help friends and family but that is it. Will pass for someone who needs it. Thanks for the tool review and information. Knipex eh? Ok.
Maybe it's only here in Europe then but they go far beyond the scope of Dremel (or perhaps Dremel don't reach Europe as well). But they make tools for low use/wear trade work and high production hobby shops, jewellers and the likes. Mini mills and lathes too but also quality hand-tools, definitely not on par with quality of old English-made Eclipse for example but way above no-name also.
There are two empty spaces in the lower part of the kit, one to the right of the turning tool and one below the needle-nose pliers. Any idea what is supposed to be in those spaces? And, are those items available to fill up the kit? I can answer part of my own questions by looking at the web site. They show and describe the key turner set as 2 pieces. The slot at the bottom is for an offset ratcheting box wrench. The picture shows an item to the right of the turning tools that I still can't identify. shop.multipick.com/media/images/popup/image_28551_1.png Any ideas?
Yes, those slots are for additional tools in the more expensive "Professional" version of the kit. the lower one next to the pliers is for another wrench, ratcheted on both ends. The upper empty chamber is for another bolt turning tool, called a "needle". I am not familiar with that tool and have only seen pictures. To fill those two empty slots will cost you an additional 400 Euros ($478.70). If you have the $$, you can buy the Professional version here: shop.multipick.com/en/opening--locksmith-tools/opening-locked-doors/cylinder-pulling--destructive-tools/tool-cases-tool-sets/opening-kits/ultimate-opening-set-professional
Haha true but Proxxon do make quality tools. Aimed more at hobbyists but their rotary tool is far superior to Dremel for example, their "industrial" line is also for low use trade or high production hobby shops as it were. Pretty sure most everything of theirs is made in germany too, certainly the ratchets and socket sets I have from them are.
You sir, are a legend. Im a hobbyist, myself, but im also a pretty good breaker. After some recent passings in my family, I have a few locks to break. Only 1 can pe picked. The one on the toolbox is siezed. There are others that need attention, too. Sry, you didn't need the life story. Just...keep being legendary Too many folks never see past thier own noses.
BosnianBill, although I never win your giveaways, I'm taking a pass on this. It would be my luck that I would win and some other locksmith can win this so they can put it to good use. Remember me on the next training lock giveaway!
I'm fighting the urge to register for this, because there is a chance (not likely) just a chance I could win this and then where would I be? Obligated! I'd have to become a lock picker! I'm not very good at obligations.
That is an awesome kit, but a bit out of my price range. I would also wonder when you would use a cylinder snapper over a core puller? Seems a bit odd to have both? Well, I at least can't think of a scenario where you would need the snapper where the core puller wouldn't be an option......does anyone know? Also, for those looking for the deals page on locklab: locklab.com/resources/deals-sales/
Yeah, you could do that (and I often do). But sometimes buying the individual items is a lot more expensive (as in this discounted kit). Still, if you already own some of the tools, or will never use some of the tools in the kit, do the math and make your decision.

The funny thing is: This box contains a collection of a typical German toolbox. Knipex, Wiha, Wera and Proxxon. Cool!
Even funnier is a German viewer watching an American to get excited about German quality he himself is very much used to.
@@omsi-fanmark Perhaps, as for Bosnianbill- he deserves the best- we shall take the rest ;)

I would like to see a demonstration of the bypass wires in that grey case... Please and thank you... Well done Bill👍
Seconded! I'm too stupid to wrap my head around what they do just by looking at them.
They are designed for european doors
I think they mostly dont work for american door systems
I could show you every tool in the grey box if you really want to know
Knipex are by far the best pliers on the market I've ever used ,no-one regrets buying quality .
WOW, this is probably the best giveaway I have ever seen on your channel! Thanks Bill, great review as always!
Yeah? Well....just wait until NEXT week! And the two weeks after THAT too! You ain't seen nothing yet. 😀
@@bosnianbill I don't drink anymore, but man, you'd seem like such a good dude to hang out with and swap stories. But beers on me if you do!

Quality tools can save time and money, as well as reduce stress. 👍🏻
"I have no money to buy cheap"
Hell yeah, as well as being nice to look at when you're sitting in your garage, fartin around and enjoying the day.
Even at full price, that is one hell of a kit! Thanks for sharing.

What goes in the two empty cutouts in that case?
For the Top one a Multipick Multifunction Key and the bottom one a Proxxon Speed Wrench.
Check out the pinned comment for details.
This kit is PERFECT!

Very cool bill thank you hope you had a great thanksgiving
Proxxon is one of the best tool brand here in the Eu. My Dad had many of theyr products... Never fails any of them...
Great set - would not mind winning that one!
Nice kit!
There are two item slots in the bottom half of the case that didn't have tools in them, was there anything in them?
Such a nice kit, but what a price.
Would love to try it out one day.
Well done Bill!🇺🇸😁👍
Do you not find the green bits on the wera screwdrivers start to dissolve or degrade when you get oil or solvents on them?
On the lower part are the destruktiv tools. So WD-40 is a destruktiv tool. I totally agree.
Beautiful German quality stuff there Bill!
Very nice kit Bill.
I still buy cheap Harbor freight tools to bring to big jobsites and keep the good snap-on stuff at home!
I'll vouch for Proxxon.
I wouldn't consider Proxxon as a high-quality tool but in that use it sure will do it's job.
Great opening kit! Thanks for the chance to win.
Proxxon makes great tools for a good price. I have lot of Proxxon tool for years and i dont want other tools.
Hoping Christmas comes early.
What a very sure way to get the job done ✔ I think that just about does it for sure would be an incredible set to win good luck 👍 to everyone
I see an AvE and Bosnianbill crossover video coming soon!

It has to be said that Multipick build quality tools.
Proxon is a German manufacturer that makes a lot of mini power tools excellent quality I have there mini milling machine it’s awesome 👍🏻
I already have most of the stuff there, missing the metal door sliders.
Could a had a thumb turn u tool, bigger wrenches to break shackles, and more shims. I understand no picks here
"This is the way" "It is known" "I have Spoken"
Great Review. Thanks
nice kit
Nice kit for sure, Thanks for another great giveaway!
Wow what a Kit that would be a brill Kit to win maybe this will be my first Win very Cool Bill Excellent Demonstrated
Nice kit. Only thing missing is a lockpick set in the box, then it would be realy ultimate
A battering ram would be more appropriate for the destructive entry theme.
You're going to need pin tumbler picks, dimple picks, lever lock picks, warded picks, and disk detainer picks.
What goes in the two empty slots on the bottom of the box
Nvm I found it
Bill, do you have any tips for left handed pickers?

Proxxon is one of the cheaper competitors to Dremmel. First time seeing their name on other stuff like that standard wrench.
Maybe it's only here in Europe then but they go far beyond the scope of Dremel (or perhaps Dremel don't reach Europe as well).

Very cool
Where do you get all your cool animated intros?? :)
The extra bolt s for when the other one falls in the deep snow
That case has more protection for those tools than gun case I've used.
Goodness gracious, that’s a beautiful kit. Unfortunately, even at 25% off it’s just a bit too expensive for me.
I think it is for a Ratcheting wrench to use with the Core puller.
A Proxxon Speeder wrench to be exact.
PROXXON, german company, wrench made in taiwan afaik(its good quality for its price).
The quality of that wrench may be fine, but that comic sans is not instilling the most faith.

I've been getting emails from every single company I've ever ordered from lol
Ka ni pex is the correct pronunciation
I restored a lock that I want to send to LockPickingLawyer
To be honest, multipick and other companies do nice kits, but instead of buying pre made kits one should always build his own kits and tools
Yeah, you could do that (and I often do). But sometimes buying the individual items is a lot more expensive (as in this discounted kit). Still, if you already own some of the tools, or will never use some of the tools in the kit, do the math and make your decision.
Generalizations are always right
As an industrial electrician, nearly all my tools are knipex.
Oh no, why must I be out of money right now 😢😓😭 I hope I win. I would love to have this kit.
The proper way to pronounce
Knipex is KA-nipex. It's a German company so you make the k sound
